    Wardy vs Mini Tour Pro

    Bumping this, playing my course today with a mini tour young lady who has an event at my course tomorrow. I’m her practice round host 🤭 She’s a… I have no idea. I’m at a sketchy 5.5. If her stats are correct, she hits it about 255-260. I’m hoping to stay within 8-10 of her.

    What are you shooting?

    One of the harder rounds I’ve ever played. 7557, CPO, and maybe 60 degrees. It’s relatively open off the tee, minus a few holes where you have to just hit a shot. Greens are receptive, and rolling at about 10.5 at best. How do you think you’re shooting?

    Would you trust a 15 handicap caddie?

    The question was asked by a friend when it comes to taking a caddie. Would you take the advice of a 15 handicap? My answer was it solely depends on how long they’ve worked at that course. Less than 3 years? That’s a bit of a tough call, cause they’re probably not working every day. 20+ years...

    Spanish Bay live round

    Okay this is a partial lie, as it was pouring rain during the round and I was avoiding water as much as possible. At 56 degrees, rainy, and 15-25mph winds, this wasn’t exactly a fun chamber of commerce day. That being said.. we don’t quit at halftime ma’am. Welcome to the Monterey Peninsula in...

    What are some solutions to difficult shots?

    Getting away from all the bad food takes… What are some shots that are difficult for most, but you are somewhat competent in playing? For me, I’m somewhat competent out of a greenside bunker. It’s all about good rhythm, tempo, and being confident in your shot even if you have no idea what...

    Why do we game the clubs we do: Staff edition

    I thought this might be a fun post for those of you who don’t always have time to follow what is in the bag of our staff writers and those on THP staff. This might be even more fun for our equipment reviewers, because their bags may change more often than most. In case you haven’t spent much...

    Rest In Peace Pat Carroll

    You may not know the name, but I would bet your wife and daughters (if applicable) know the voice. She won an Emmy and Grammy in her younger days, but was probably best known for her 1989 role in this movie about a mermaid and a sea witch. I guess it was somewhat popular amongst children. The...

    Local golf course you can’t stand

    I was talking with a buddy of mine today who asked if I wanted to play golf this weekend so I asked where. He mentioned a course very close to me that I just absolutely hate with a fiery passion. I would rather set the money on fire then spend four hours at that course. It got me thinking, are...

    Hall of Fame, who should be in?

    Listening to the radio while driving (totally not foruming though..) and a hard question is being debated: who isn’t in that should be? Who has a strong record, but won’t get in? There’s always been a low key kinda rule of thumb that if you win twenty times and a major, that’ll probably get you...
