And no, it wasn't Jeff Quinney, who I believe is due to get his amateur status back in 2021 (if he hasn't already -- my brief check was to confirm we discussed it on TST a few years ago).

The headline is a little click-bait like, but it isn't really all that wrong.  The pro in question is in the process of seeking to reinstate his amateur status, something that takes some time and dedication.

Interestingly, but probably only to me, the course where this took place, Blue Hill CC, is one of the very few golf courses outside of CA-OR-AZ that I've ever been to, and I remember it being a very nice looking course.

This actually doesn't surprise me.  In fact I would assume it happens a fair bit.  I base this opinion on the pro in question not knowing the intricacies of the course and playing it for the first or second time in his life.  Conversely, the members will play this course a couple of times a week and have intimate course knowledge.  It really does count for a lot when the player in question is a low handicapper and that course knowledge offers a couple of strokes.  Of course it also requires the pro to have a bit of a bad day, but that isn't uncommon when you watch any tournament with some pro's always having over par rounds

According to NewEngland.golf, Shuman had this explanation for entering. “I entered the tournament because I like to play tournament golf, I know the course well having played here for 20 years and checked with the USGA about eligibility.

Shuman carried a +4.4 index and was beaten by someone with a +1.9 index.   So that's really not a big upset by the numbers.   His opponent shot 67, which is something that a lot of pros will lose to on a given day.

Just because you were a former touring pro doesn't mean that you automatically win a non-tour tournament.

67 will win a lot of tournaments regardless of the field if it’s played from the back tees.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
