I've got to work two tournaments, one this evening right before dark and one in the morning. The evening tournament is a ladies "night ball" event and the one in the morning is a Chamber of Commerce tournament and it will be a doozy. We will use all our carts and then some. Morning and evening tee times on this one. I got all the team charts made out for both tournaments and I'm curious to see how the ladies do. It's a 3 hole event and they will use the glow balls after dark. Be my first time to watch this action! Anyone ever play in a night golf tournament. We have 10 teams of 4 ladies to deal with!

I have played in a local fund raiser for the blind, nite site tournament. It was actually fun. The glow balls go about two clubs shorter. I actually play pretty well though. When you can not see the target it is easy to relax and just let it go.

I got to watch the ladies last night and it looked like fun. They were hooting and hollering and having a blast. It was black as pitch and I don't see how they judged the distance to the ball during the swing. They only played 3 holes and even par won the thing. I had to get out 32 carts and put them away last night and I got home at 9:40. This morning I have to get them all out again for the COC tournament. Yuk again!

One of our local courses has a night tournament each year on Halloween. Everyone participating has to dress in a costume. I never played in it, but was there to see some of the costumes one evening just before it started. An aquaintance I had played with a few times was dressed as a woman and had his face turned away from me when I walked in. Nice rack, short skirt..imagine how surprised and repulsed I was when this 60+ wrinkled old man face turned to me and I realized it was attached to that body...

YowZer! that must have been in shock. Well, I worked the last 4 days and the two tournaments. Yesterday was a long day as was today. I put in 13 hrs each day and handled a passel of carts. Beer cans were everywhere and junk all in the carts to clean out before putting away. I had to make out all the score cards and post all the scores as the teams came in. I was a little tired then and today 13 more hours really did me in. I have to put in 7 more in the morning and till 2 pm. That will be it for a few days. Thank goodness!

      Day 52: simulator day. Played Old Head and shot an “80,” which was probably more like a 78 in a non-simulator. Then worked on irons for 15 minutes, and may have found a good feel.

      Vokey or Bettinardi Wedges

      I don't know what to tell you. You can't test wedges with range balls, and you have a LOT more info to gather before you can begin to really even test anything else, either.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.
