I am hoping TST can help me out!

I am looking to find out what courses a number of PGA Tour members call home. If you know how I can most easily find this info, or if you know where any of them are members, please post in here!

Thanks a bunch.

I dunno if it's necessarily their "home course" but Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood, Raymond Floyd, Louis Oousty are based out of Old Palm CC in Palm Beach Gardens.

Rickie Fowler, Tiger, Dustin Johnson, and Keegan Bradley are at Medalist in Jupiter.

Ernies Els is Bears Club. I think Luke Donald and Rory are there too.

Obviously there are a lot of PGA Tour Pros who live in Palm Beach County.

Not sure about Orlando at this point, but Bubba Watson lives at Tiger's old house at Isleworth.

Poulter, McDowell, and Justin Rose are Lake Nona.

These guys are obviously all over the place though. Not 100% these are their "home courses," so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaking of home clubs, up to sometime in the 1960s, a touring pro would always be introduced as Joe Golfer, playing out of the [name of golf club] in [city, state].

Does anybody know what that was all about? A holdover from the days when touring pros were club pros in the off season? Do you know when that practice stopped?

While that's a related question, it's probably slightly OT for this thread.

One of my college buddies lives in Jupiter. I went down there to visit him a few weeks ago and played three rounds of golf.  If you've ever been there, you'll understand why--there is a championship golf course in pristine condition per ever square mile of land in that area.  North Palm, West Palm, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter--they could all be the best golf town in any state in the US.

Sorry SoCal folks--y'all have the weather, but you can't touch the number and quality of courses in that area.

Don't want to get off topic or bash Florida by any means because it's obviously a great place to be if you're a golfer but the lack of topography in my opinion in that state (i.e. it's the flattest state in the union) makes it hard for there to be truly great courses there. You can have fun/good courses that are in fantastic shape, but IMHO, a great course needs some contours and natural topography that Florida isn't able to offer. There's a reason none of the US Open, PGA, Ryder Cup, etc. courses are in Florida.

Derek Ernst is a member at Belmont CC in Fresno, Ca. (Probably not quite the level of tour pro you were after, but it's all I got ;))

Yes, that reason is called summer.  They don't play US Opens or PGA Championships in Florida or Texas because they are held in June and August respectively.  The USGA chooses traditional courses in NY, PA, MI, which were operational before air conditioning and development came to FL.


Plus, there's this event called the Players Championship which takes place in FL each year and it is considered the 5th major.  In addition to the WGC event at Doral and the other tour events.

They have played US Opens in Texas several times (Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston) and most of those were before everybody had air conditioning.

They also played the US Open in St. Louis and that's the hottest place in the world in the summer. (Hyperbole but not much). ;-)

My wife's family lives near Tulsa, that can be a furnace as well, and they've played the US Open there.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
