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.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By WillieT ·

      I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.
