What’s it like for a normal hack golfer to play Augusta National? 2 years ago I got the unbelievable honor of playing the home of the Masters with a member. I still pinch myself. So what did I shoot? Let me take you on a hole by hole journey from the member tees:
Mauna Kea 1964 - Robert Trent Jones Sr #43 USA Top 100 Public Green Fee - $250 Simply one of the most visually gorgeous public golf courses on the planet. Mauna Kea has been a must play resort course for over 50 years, a bucket list course for golfers from everywhere. It’s…
Best golfer in the world has fired his caddie. Big news.
Joaquin Niemann parted ways with caddie, swing coach ahead of LIV Golf UK.
The miracle at Mauna Kea! This is hard to believe. Show up as a single in the afternoon. Get paired with a nice couple and a single. The miracle? 3.5 hour round as a foursome at a resort course! We had fun, nobody rushed, nobody shot crazy good. But everyone was ready to…
What club are you hitting? The world famous 3rd hole at Mauna Kea, one of the world’s great golf holes. 261 yards With a 10 mph breeze 240 yard carry Lay up is 180 and right out of picture You just ate a Spam Musubi You are playing your 5th round in 2 days. What did I…
Y’all know I love me a good comfort station. The surprise in Hawaii was Ke’Olu. A fabulous private course that flies totally under the radar. Spam Musubi while in paradise? Yes please. I’m not a big drinker, but when you put out a self serve full bar and some guava juice, I…
See the transformation how the first few holes of Scarecrow @GambleSands rose from the minds of @DavidMcLayKidd and @NickSchaan. Episode 5 of our “Growing Gamble” documentary from @MattGinella and @firepitstories. Watch the complete episode now. gamblesands.com/growing-gamble…
Anyone tried the new Kirkland golf balls yet? The price is nuts. A little over $1 a ball. Half the price of even MaxFli. I’m old enough to remember when Kirkland balls were amazing. I’ve heard they are good again, but afraid to try lol.
Complete dick move. On your side here. I’ve worked as a volunteer at The Memorial 3 times now and have never had a player be nothing but polite or thankful.
I was a spotter at the Canadian Open this year. Found Justin Rose's ball in deep fescue. He said "thank you sir, I would not have found that." That's how it's done.
This one is for the Big Letter Hat hater squad. What do we think of Big Letter Headcovers? Especially one from the most sacred place in golf, St. Andrew’s. And in a bag on a golf cart, no less. 😬
Breaking news: My third work of narrative golf history — Matchless — is now available for pre-order. It’s available everywhere on Amazon, but I prefer you order in the U.S. from Barnes and Noble online or in the U.K. from bookshop.org, as I am a big fan of bookstores.
By request: After seeing the super slow mo swing of Scottie Scheffler, a follower requested Brian Harman’s swing. What do you notice? There is a key major difference.
More Scottie Scheffler goodness. This swing is BY FAR the most consistent golf swing in the world. Yet if you watched that foot movement and finish, you would never guess that. He has the best form to deliver the clubface square AND jazzy hands.
