I have no bloody idea. It's not like I can run him through Soundhound. I don't watch enough Euro Tour events to know who the regulars are.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Sounds like he's from Africa.  There aren't any elephant grave yards in Australia or New Zealand.  Pay particular attention to how he says "where".  It has a slightly South African flavor.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

It's Gary Player!

Holy shit!  It pays not to overthink these things.

I was just kidding... since you think he's from South Africa.  Not Gary...

Dang it.  It also pays to not think too much of yourself.  I get those things confused sometimes.

Tony Johnson?  He's Zimbabwean...which could explain the difficulty.

You guys are way way off. The wrong continent. His name is Wayne O’Reilly.  Known as “Radar”. European tour winner 2 or 3 times. Better career as commentator than as a golfer. He is what is called a “character”- and in an idiom from his home country “as mad as a box of frogs”. Australian

Then he'll help announce the Masters and get in trouble for a colorful comment about the speed of the greens... 😊  Or he'll talk about the left side of #13 being a place where green jackets go to die.

My humble thanks 🙏. I’ll blame the phones text engine for incorrect prediction........ if you will believe that.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      So, last night was the first night of golf league. First tee I stuck in the ground this year. First time hitting a ball off the grass. Left my putter on my indoor putting mat in the office so I was able to borrow one of my pal's spare putters. I putted poorly, but not the putters fault. Took me forever to realize the greens were very very slow. We've had tons of rain and the greens were downright furry. I also went from my car to the clubhouse to the first tee. No warm up.  It took me a bit to get it going. But finished solid. I think I had four penalty strokes in the first 5 holes.
