Danny will be hoarse after all the tips he brings my way, LOL. So glad its Friday, its nice outside and in 24 more days I will be in STL. YES!
Swing your swing – Deep breath and relax – nobody expects PGA type swings – just have some fun!
It know, it will be so great to have these resources. I am really looking forward to it. Vegas must have been so much fun. I have never golfed out there but those courses looked so cool. Bellerive will be great as well. After we play I might need to find the 2018 PGA championship to watch.
ill be watching ahead of time. Hope 2k21 has the course
That is even a better idea, i will watch it ahead of time as well.
Thanks
I agree very much looking forward to it. Was talking about it yesterday as my mom and dad dropped by for Mother’s Day along with the kids. After dinner sat outside around the firepit and we discussed how cool it was going to be.
Agree. this is going to be so much fun.
The course looks just beautiful in pictures and I can’t wait to see it in real.
Practice We talking about Practice
Great GIF, reminds me of

I have not done any live updates but totally looking forward to it. The summer of golf is on baby!
I follow most of the live updates and Shaft Up #1 rocked it. My job, besides enjoying and learning, is to pay it forward and help make the follow as fun as possible for those to enjoy and get everyone excited even more for Shaft Up #3.
I agree I will try and pay it forward as best I can. This will be a blast.
You guys will do great enjoy the event I’ll be reminiscing good laughs and following an amazing experience
There will be laughs for sure. Just last week I was out with the wife at a really nice Italian restaurant and after some mussels over fra diavolo a bottle of red wine some cheesecake and a couple of frozen limoncello shots we proceed to walk out of the fancy restaurant. Now I am thinking to myself I could sure use a mint and as we are leaving I see a glass jar on a table by the front door of small white things. I reach into the jar and grab a couple of "mints" and put them in my mouth only to find out that they are not mints but are instead small granite rocks.
I proceed to then take them out of my mouth, chuck them on the floor and say "these are f’ing rocks". My wife looked at me and shook her head. First time that ever happened.
Looking forward to the live thread! We weren’t saying boo, we were saying moovers!
Nice round at the ledges6 pars on first seven holes for a nice 85 on a hard course

Just two weeks away, but maybe I should get an early start and get on my way. The car just wanted to go West.
The excitement is just boiling over.
They can always graduate again next year, right?
The flights are booked and I am totally hooked on going to Saint Lou in two

Hole 15 Par 4 (423 yards playing green)
Playing into the wind most days it will be a test to reach in two

Last hole of the "Ridge"
Hole 16 Par 3 (175 yards playing green)
All carry with really deep bunkers that will be costly.

I’ve never actually seen that complex of a greens reading book that is pretty cool to look at. You’ll have every hole down to memory by the time you step on site. How many times have you replayed the 18’ PGA over
Danny had us play the tips on 16 last time. Was 230 and into a 20 mph wind. I hit a driver onto the green. Hole is a beast from back there.
I am trying to schedule a Trackman session. I think they have Bellerive as an option to play.
Well, then the fitted Mizuno driver will be in play that hole. ?
Haha it was for me. That’s the only time I can ever remember hitting a driver on a par 3.
Heading out to golf today in 90 degree weather, which is fine just soon up here in MA. Been a busy weekend as the following happened on Friday.
A guy jumped from a 2nd floor window at house right next to ours Friday morning. Not sure what was going on but these are renters of the house and since they moved in it has been troublesome. He jumped intp an awaiting cazr but was caught. We discovered he was stabbed in the house and the only way out was the window. We got a bunch of blood in our driveway. Anyways here are two pics one from the news and one from my wife showing the 50 person swat team to get the barricaded other guy out
I hear ya there. Maybe 3 wood. Its only a bit more then a week away
That’s crazy. ?
I am pumped too! Can’t wait to be fitted for a new driver. I am meeting @fuffle master in Philly and that is when the mayhem will start.
@rlefig and I spoke to each other tonight and we are so excited to not only be apart of the Shaft Up family, but talking about how we can make sure it’s a fun follow next week. Lots to live up to with past event players.
Just an amazing location to play and the fact that the 100th PGA Championship was there just a few years ago, combined to be fitted by @DannyLe with bomb hitting Mizuno drivers feels so surreal.
Brooks Koepka for the win
