Superb afternoon double-dip yesterday with the team from the Golf Superintendents Network - Brian, Adam and Jesse. 18 holes at Atlantic National, 9 on"The Lit" short course, and a 9 holes of "Stymie" putting challenge on the Himalayan putting course.

From the box to the course yesterday, an instant 27 hole session w/Payntr Golf's new "JDay Kicks" #EightySevenSC

Standard sizing/fit, superb energy return, and mid-foot support. Traction is as good as any we've ever tested. Carbitex sole plate provides explosive ground forces 🚀

The latest from Payntr Golf just arrived for review. JDay wore the prototype at the Masters. ##EightySevenSC

Finally getting around to the Q&A we did with Alan Fike GCSAA at Seagate in Delray Beach several wks ago. Formerly the Director of Agronomy at Nemacolin, Fike transitioned from cool season northern turf to the hot/humid world of hybrid Bermuda grass. Hope to have it up on the site next week.

One year ago today, Jay Blasi & First Tee SF introduced us to the newly redesigned Golden Gate Park 9. What a day, if you haven't been out to experience it, get it on your list.

The 🌎 needs more fun places like GGP.

Professional golf is such a fine line and good players just need a break. Elvis Smylie missed the first stage of the Euro Tour School a month ago by a shot. Missed the cut at final stage last year by a shot.
He just won the AustralianPGA at Royal Queensland and a 2 year exemption in Europe.

TGL ⛳️ looks interesting to me. I'm interested in what you think. If you're just a pure hater, ok but I'd like some objective thoughts about what u find interesting (or not) about the concept. We're planning on covering TGL live from the SoFi center in Palm Beach Gardens.

Recently, we visited Nemacolin Resort in SW Pennsylvania, a destination that's unrivaled in its totality. Amazing dining and more activities than you could ever manage on one visit (maybe even two). And yes, it has 36 holes of thrilling Pete Dye (& Tim Liddy golf).

Recently acquired this old-school TP Rescue 14°. The plan is to employ it on links roadtrips and ultra-tight courses that require fairway finders. Low stingers all day...

Build it, and they will come... let's do this.
