This is really a good story. Keegan Bradley talks about living in a trailer park with his dad after his parents separated and how he had a great childhood! He says it was:

Quote:
one of the most fun times in his life

For someone to go through a lot of hardship and still make a name for themselves is outstanding!  I bet Keegan didn't have an 11k dollar simulator in that trailer!

Quote:

“It was like something out of a movie. My dad is 6’4”, he’s taller than me, and we were living in this trailer with bunk beds," Bradley told Golf Magazine. "He slept on the bottom bunk. I slept on the kitchen table—the table folded down and had cushions; that was my bed.”

My mom gets very sad when I talk about it, because she thinks it makes it sound like I had a bad childhood. So for a while I stopped talking about it. But I really had an unbelievable childhood,” Bradley told Golf Magazine. “I’m actually, in a weird way, proud of those days. I try to tell her, ‘Mom, it’s a cool story. The story of me growing up in Vermont and skiing, people don’t care about that. It’s the trailer park that people want to hear about.'

I wonder if his dad would contribute the trailer life to golf being too darn expensive?

Wow, interesting story. I never knew this about him.  Now I just need him to win the British Open at -10 so I can win the prediction contest.

I'm sure Heath Slocum, Boo Weekley and Bubba Watson have some great stories of growing up in the pan handle of Florida. It's not where you're from it's what you become....

I fully disagree with the statement made about golf being priced to weed out trash. I have met a TON of wealthy people that are pure trash and a TON of non wealthy people that were great people and became very accomplished golfers, hockey players, soccer players, tennis player, etc. In my opinion the balance of your checking or savings account doesn't indicate trash or class.

It's also designed to create more of an ego and social detachment for the wine sipping, stogie smoking , beamer driving yuppies too!

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
