Joel Dahmen was a part of one of the wildest made-cut stories you’ll hear. His caddie, Geno Bonnalie, told it...

Shows just how damn good these guys are. JD seems like quite the character as well.

I can see this happening. My older brother Mike did something similar. During his freshman year at college, he turned 18. So his friends took him out for some celebration. My brother was not a drinker. They consumed a fifth of Jamison’s until the wee hours. The next morning at 8 AM he had a P-Chem test with a legendary professor who rarely gave perfect scores. I had the same prof and he was tough but fair. Mike got the only 100 on the test, the class average was 60. He was still drunk.

And he went on to work for Exxon? 😁

These stories are generally the exception rather than the rule.  I have a distant cousin who is a pro golfer.  He played on the Indian and Asian tour a couple of times.  Loved hitting the bottle unfortunately.

One tournament, end of day 3 he was either first or second.  His caddie begs him to get to bed early and not drink.  Tells him you win tomorrow and can drink as much as you want.  Sure enough he goes on a bender that night and wakes up half drunk and completely hungover on Sunday.  The tournament goes for a toss with him dropping down the leaderboard.  Can't remember if he just managed to scrape into the top 10 thanks to his previous 3 days exploits.

What's in the bag

  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)

Nah. A bunch of engineering companies. He’s retired now and really doesn’t drink much!

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • 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.
