This pic brings back so many memories! Look at the Ping headcovers. We all had them but nobody hit Ping woods. Dude needs a cig!!!!! I’m playing Wilson now and on their staff. My first great set of clubs was the Wilson Staff Tour Blade. Heavy shafts with Neumann leather grips. Black. They SMELLED like golf. Proud to have @WilsonGolf in the bag!!!!

In 1992, Corey Pavin needed an eagle on 18 to force a playoff.

The rest is history 🔥

The USGA and R&A screwed up when they banned anchoring.

Banning anchoring was a ridiculous decision based on nothing other than they don't like how it looks.

The USGA essentially said they had no interest in understanding if anchoring actually makes any kind of difference.

I don't like how interlocking grip looks. We should ban that. See how ridiculous that is?

Just wanted to give a shout out to a few players who balled out tonight on the biggest stage:

- Christian Gonzalez
- Milton Williams
- Craig Woodson

You guys were tremendous.

[Peter Jacobsen @JakeTrout]

@acaseofthegolf1 100% correct. It was a suggestion when I was a rookie. Enforce pace of play. Not hard to understand.

Aloha from the Big Island 👋🏝️

Who's your pick to win the season opener @MEC_Golf?

[Mike Mahoney @mtmahones]

@arobmoney Color will require more touch ups throughout your life and will fade much faster. Not a bad thing, but definitely something to be aware of. I can show you what 18 years of neglected color looks like compared to having it retouched. Haha.

[Zephyr Melton @zephyrmelton]

…thanks for clarifying?

[Padraig Harrington @padraig_h]

A bogey free final round. Only made 5 birdies all week. I made 6 in 10 holes in practice on Wednesday. What a game this is. My new training drill might be a bit tight. @DPWorldTour #DubaiInvitational

➡️"Middle" hole location (Hole is at least 10 yards from every edge)

🔴30% of their shots finish OUTSIDE 30 feet

----------------

If you want to be a scratch player...

Or simply get better...

You do not need to be perfect.

Reduce the big numbers.

Make solid contact and just keep it in play.

I hope the stats above give you perspective and help you to manage your expectations.

Short on staff, but never short on effort. A superintendent and an assistant raking bunkers because teamwork keeps the #golfcourse rolling 💪⛳️. #stihl #johndeere #golf #greenkeeper
