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.

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

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

    • Day 215: just some mirror work. Worked on earlier wrist hinge in the backswing. 
    • Top two choices: Hide & Seek: Wallet With Hidden Pocket | Bellroy This billfold’s classic good looks and slim profile hide a clever secret – a concealed section inside that keeps extra bills, cards or coins out of sight. Ridge Wallet - Forged Carbon The strong, slim, and sustainable ridge wallet is now available as forged carbon wallet. The anodized aluminum plating lets you enjoy a scratch-resistant surface. Distant third: Amazon.com   This was one I considered for a bit too: Amazon.com
    • Day 142 - 2025-02-19 Had 45 minutes after some GEARS lessons and before a junior. Got some good work in.
    • He wasn't a bad guy. And he was just trying to get out there and get some fresh air and exercise. He ended up liking the new cane a lot, because in addition to not making pock marks on the greens, it also stood up by itself. He didn't have to hand it to somebody to hold while he hit his shot. Or lean it against the cart. It would just stand up by itself. ... Kind of like those stand up putters. ... 🤣
    • Sounds like you guys came up with a great solution.
