stick with me here, this is good.

to start things off, Thursday Match 12 was my 16th birthday. my mom let me skip school that day so i could go get my permit. it turns out i got a 100% on my permit test and got my permit! i got to drive around one of the malls near my house, and ended up with about 1 hour of driving time on thursday. that night, i got to go to Applebees, one of my favorite resteraunts. after diner, i went home and opened presents. i got a huge back full of candy, chips-ahoy cookies, and most importantly, an ogio ozone stand bag plus 2 cleveland cg14 wedges (54* and 58*). thats a pretty good day in my book.

then on friday, i had to go to school, but i got to brag to all my friends that i got my permit

saturday i went golfing for the first time this year. i shot a 43 on 9 holes. overall i played like crap, but i did hit my first ever 300 yard drive on the 9th hole

so on sunday, i went to my grandparents house to celebrate my birthday along with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. once i got there, i got to open presents. i got $200 cash, more cookies, and a cool remote-control Ford Mustang car. now, i thought that was a pretty nice deal. but then, everybody suddenly disappeared and i had no idea where everybody went. so i went to the garage and everybody was standing there (all 13 of them) and a few of them had video cameras pointing at me. i had no idea what was going on. as it turn out, my grandpa and my two uncles bought a wrecked car, rebuilt it, and gave it to me for my 16th birthday! a red 2002 Ford Mustang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so speachless i had no idea what to say other than "wow!" so after i recovered from the shock of a new car all the family went out to dinner to the best steak house you're going to find anywhere. i had steak and lobster after that i went home and counted my money. turns out i had enough for the Tour Burner irons that ive had my eye on for forever, so i placed an order for those!

i dont know about you, but id say thats a pretty good 4 day stretch

Congrats dude. My birthday was March 4, went in after school and got my permit. Skipped the next day to hit golf balls around (no courses open yet) and did some driving. I already had a truck, and I got around $350 cash and plan on getting a membership to a course and a new putter. Have fun with your new toys.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
