Played Golf With Mick Soli Today

[ks8829]

I played with Mick Soli and his son today at Popular Creek golf coures in San Mateo, California and what a pleasure it was. He is a true gentleman and great father. I truly enjoyed playing with a pro and actually seeing how well he hit all his shots. He had several eagles opportunities and many birdies.

For my next golf lessons he is the one to see.

I shot my low round at Poplar (81), never saw Mr. Soli there in the many times I've played. I played with Michael Michaelides (Big Break Michigan) who played on some mini tours I think.

That guy looks money! I think I'll sign up for his 4-course short game lessons.

Mick Soli can play, He drove the 7th hole with a 3 wood, he had monster drives on 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14, he almost drove the green on 11. His short games is just as impressive.

Yeah I've seen pro's play in person and just the way their shot comes off the club is pretty incredible not to mention the consistency at which they can replicate that same shot.

i played with a few guys and my cousin who are now on various tours back in college. one of my buddies was on the n-wide tour, played with him a few months ago. he was hacking it up that day, but somehow managed to be one under par.

I have no idea who that is.

I have no idea who that is.

" Mick played on the PGA tour from 1979 to 1985. He continues to play in NCPGA tournaments and was player of the year in 1995, 1997, and 1998.

Mick teaches full time at Mariners Point Golf Links in Foster City, CA. With over 20 years of teaching experience in the Bay Area, Mick has been named among the “Top Teachers in the State” by Golf Digest and “Top 50 Teachers in the US” by Golf Range Magazine..."

Ah, thanks. Sounds like a good player.

He is, I witness it myself, the best player that I have played with. also a true gentleman, modest, great father.

I asked him what his lowest round he shot was and he only answered that it's been a long time. He talked with his son throughout the round and you can tell they are very close. One hole I was standing close to he flag and he still came over to pick up the flag and I had to waive him off.

I've had the opportunity to play with Bob May, Bill Lunde, and David Branshaw. All great golfers and a lot of fun to be around. All have out of this world short game (then again it was their home course)

I was fortunate enough to play 9 holes with Mick and a friend at Sharp Park many years ago.  I'm sure it was over 20 years ago.  My friend was taking lessons from Mick at the time and I got to join them for a playing lesson.  He's a hell of a good golfer and a hell of a good guy!  He's pretty humble and doesn't seem to want to talk that much about his golf career.  I do know that he was on the Tour at one time and I believe he still holds the course record (along with several other players) at Doral's Blue Monster.  Ask if about it!
