Congrats to a recent GMPI follower Eoghan Williams on eating 15 tacos at CT Cantina in Alpharetta, Georgia on 10/18/2024. I doubted his stupidity but he showed me.

Breaking news: Tom wins the 2023 GMPI 9&8.

We are headed to the bayou (LA) next year.

Thank you Bandon Dunes and Gabe, the best caddie in the business.

Another 18 in the books. Believe best scoring by both players so far this trip. Tom nets two holes so is now up 10 with 18 to play.

Final round begins at 120 PT (420 EST).

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Correction: 27 holes left to play

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Front nine complete. Another competitive nine - Tom nets one…so Tom is up 9 with 45 holes to go.

Todays course is in the woods instead of the cliffs. Hope someone warned the wildlife..AP

Good morning golf fans from Charlottes (the food truck at the range). Final day of 36 holes. We tee off at Bandon Trails at 820 and 120 PT (1120 and 420 EST).

Our room came with a golf shoe dryer… never seen these before. Tom said if i incinerate my shoes it’s my own fault and I can play barefoot. AP

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Very competitive afternoon round. Ended up all square for the round.

Tom is up 8 overall with 36 to play.

Bandon Trails tomorrow.

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Today I hit an amazing drive that somehow hit the very top spike of the legendary “ghost tree” on Old Macdonald. And that’s how my day went. AP

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Good afternoon golf fans. Morning round in the books. Tom picks up 3 more holes to go up 8 with 54 holes to go.

The fog / marine layer is burning off and looks like we will have a windy round this afternoon. We tee again in 10 minutes.

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Good morning golf fans from the Practice Facility. We are playing Old Mac today at 840 and 140 PT (1140 and 440 Eastern).

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

@PJ_Cahill The way this works is - i give up the first 5-6 holes every round and then spend the rest of the round clawing them back. Super fun. AP

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Tom nets three on the back nine. Tom now up 1 with 126 holes left.

We tee off on Pacific Dunes again at 1:20 PT (4:20 EST).

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

@Zaisersoze I can own this nickname I spend as much time as possible barefoot… AP

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Yes I forgot my golf shoes this morning and had to go back to the room. Tom was giving me shit on the shuttle bus and a guy was like “oh we have one of those in our group too” AP

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Correction: 15 miles

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Good morning golf fans. We tee off at Bandon Dunes (the first course at the resort) at 7:50 PT (10:50 EST).

Fun fact: we walked 12 miles yesterday during our 36 at Pacific Dunes (as measured by our caddie’s Apple Watch).

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

@_M_Owens Pace is good. They push for 4 hour 5 min rounds in the AM…afternoon rounds are more like 4h 40mim.

[Tom and Aleks @theGMPI]

Afternoon round complete. Another back and forth round…Tom netted three on the front nine and Aleks netted three in the back - so push.

Tom is up 5 overall with 72 holes to go. Old Macdonald tomorrow.
