Today (6/16) was the first Alaska Junior Tour event that I played in this year, and I won in the boys 15-17 age group. I shot an 88 with the next closest person shooting 94.

Boy it felt GREAT!!!!

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |


Congrats, but what was the name of the course and what is the rating and slope? Cause I know here in California it takes about even par or a couple under to win the 15-18 junior tournaments.

905R 10.5* Aldila NV 65
904F 15* Graphite Design YS-6+
NVG2 UT 17* Fujikura Triple Action
755 3-PW Trispec steel
52/08, 58/08 rac TP Wicked putter (model 1)

California golf talent > Alaska golf talent

But anyways congrats on the win
âI'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.â

Heh, you want to talk about hard competition, try Miami, FL. I was playing in the 15-18 category, I shot a 78, and I thought I had at least some place in the trophy lineup, but i ended up getting tied at fifth place....weak

How big was the field?

Thanks for the congrats everyone

And to the people that were surprised about my winning score, like Ceej said, Alaska golf talent is sh*t. There aren't many people, let alone kids who are any good.

And about the round, I played TERRIBLE, I usually shoot low 80's. My problem? Putting, but not so much that I need to practice, it's just that the greens here, like the kids are sh*t.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

It was Palmetto Golf in Miami, FL. We had to all play the whites, which was 5900 yards. Pretty easy course, slope rating of about 124. Nice open and straight fairways, but i guess I needed practice.

Who wants to coach me here.

    • Yep, I almost flagged an 8 iron just exaggerating my right elbow backswing stuff 🤣 I am sure I might get some stalling. Maybe the sequence is a bit out of sync. I also tend to flip more when I overswing. Doing really good. It’s rejuvenated me a bit. I’m going to start weight lifting soon. 
    • However 2.1b says re GP scores 2.1b ii) General Play. When an organized competition is not being contested, a score is not generally acceptable for handicap purposes if the player: * Breaches the Rules of Golf, and the correct penalty is not applied under the Rules of Golf, or * Deliberately ignores a Rule of Golf. Where a player follows the provisions set down in a Model Local Rule, even when the Committee in charge of the course has not adopted that Model Local Rule, the score may still be acceptable for handicap purposes.
    • CONGU – who control handicapping in Great Britain and Ireland – affirmed the Local Rule could not be used in any qualifying competitions or general play scores. That’s any event where handicap marks could be affected.
    • I think you are spot on.  Seems like every survey I read about playing golf in the US says that the biggest issue here is pace of play. Anything that can help pace of play feels like a good idea. 
    • Just checking.  Are you healthy again? I seem to remember you going through some injury issues. Are all of those behind you now? Or are you still doing PT?
