@acaseofthegolf1 The human brain is a crazy thing. So cool, he’s such a humble and open tour player! Golf is such a psychological sport. Huge win for him and huge win for golf!
My random Honda week trivia.
In 2013 Shane Lowry missed the Monday Q by 1. After that he went to play a Minor League event the next day.
Also in the field…. Brooks Koepka.
Vijays kid fired a BUNDLE and India Pro Tour legend, @Jhackgolf beat the shit out of all of them
Jhared Hack’s trip to India is off to an unreal start.
Won Q-school
Won the first event
2nd in points.
Now is playing in the @pgtofindia new team league. Today in his match he was all square on 18 and hit his drive in the trees.
All he did was drain it from 180 yards to win
Hell yes!! @Jhackgolf just won his first start on the India Pro Tour with a final round 59* to win by 5.
Jhared has become a good friend, we helped raise money for him a few times. Truly one of the nicest people in golf.
Won the 2007 Western Am, beat Rickie and DJ in match play. Turned pro at 18.
Now 20 years into his pro career he is still grinding. Years of driver yips. It got so bad his friends would try to convince him to not play in Vegas money games, they would feel guilty taking his money. He refused.
Found his way out of them. Battled back.
A ton of mini-tour players have been broke, but no one as many times as Jhared. And no one plays better when he's broke. Has won mini-tour events multiple times when his cards were maxed and it was win or be done.
Has played most every tour in the world. DP, PGA, KFT, Latin, Canada, Morocco, China, and now India.
After he missed at 2nd stage here he told @markbaldwin1 he was going to play in India. We thought he was crazy (we still think he's crazy) .
He won 1st stage there, finished 2nd at final, now won in his first start.
Gets $25,000 for the win, will get into 2 Hotel Planners events, possible a DP event. Moved up 2000 spots in OWGR.
Talked to him this morning when I woke up, he was ecstatic. “Going to have some beers” before he gets on his way to next weeks event.
I love it, every second of it. This is why I started this account, for wins like this at events no one has ever heard of.
(* par 69, around 6,000 yards. A 59 to win is impressive regardless, but for full context)
@acaseofthegolf1 Played with him final round of first stage. Made 40 footer on 15, 20 footer on 16th for birdie , 8 footer on 17 for birdie , and chipped it to a few feet on 18 for birdie all to get in on the number. Stones!!!
On today’s AGM sponsored by @drinkdadwater we talk to @Jhackgolf about his career.
From beating Dustin and Rickie to win the Western Am to his struggles with driving yips and being broke too many times to count.
Jhared talks about what keeps him going.

A couple of weeks ago @markbaldwin1 and @Jhackgolf had a five hole playoff at a Pro-am in Nebraska. The winner got a much needed $10K check
Mark writes about Jhared’s pro career, their friendship, and what it’s like to be in a playoff w a great friend.

Pretty cool story from yesterday.
The Platte Valley Pro-am is a very cool event in Nebraska. There is a pro tournament along w the pro-am portion of it
Winner of the pro tournament gets $10,000. @Jhackgolf has played for years and helped @markbaldwin1 get a spot. Jhared and Mark have been great friends for years.
Last night Mark birdied three of the last four holes to get into a playoff with Jhared.
And then the two of them played a five hole playoff. Mark made four birdies in the five holes….and lost.
Jhared made an eagle on the fifth playoff hole to win.
Mark said “I wanted to win, but I wouldn't have known about the event if it wasn't for Jhared, so if I was going to lose in a playoff, glad it was to him”
@markbaldwin1@acaseofthegolf1 Ahh yes, I just remembered the wise words of Chubbs Peterson truly the Shakespeare of short game advice. “It’s all in the hips”
I’ve been having fun coaching some friends recently so I decided to start some virtual lessons via Skillest! If you are interested, or know anyone you who might be, here’s the link
