You think this is him? The bag is right as is the goatee. I thought he was taller. Yea or nay?

Can't see his headcovers - and they're rare to see - Iliac

But it looks like him.

Remember, cameras make people look shorter and fatter ....

Looks like him. I met him a few months ago as the company I used to work with is one of his sponsors. He's really not that tall.

Wikipedia lists him at 5"11'. He's probably hunched over a bit with the bag and suitcase.

The bag makes him look short - at least for me.

It is Mahan. As a local, I can tell you that Bethpage to NY Penn Station to Union Station DC is one of the saner, no sitting in traffic ways to get to DC. None of the hassle of airport security. No stewing in a car. I wonder how many people recognized him? Big +1 from me in the common sense department.

First you posted a blurry picture of him running through the station.  (Hopefully stopping off at Dunkin for a coffee - I hate that we don't have Dunkins out here)  Then a pretty clear picture standing right behind him.  Then another clear picture from the seat behind him on the train.  Are you stalking him??

Also ... is it just me or does he have, like, 4 putters in that bag?  It's weird that he doesn't have a protective travel case.

I'm Twitter stalking him.

These are photos from what looks to be his girlfriend's/wife's Twitter account.

My interest was piqued by someone who could easily have taken a plane, the nobrainer decision because he isn't price sensitive, but opted to take a cheaper, in this case, more efficient route, more environmentally friendly option.

And I schlep my clubs in Penn Station frequently, so I can actually relate to his experience, although my carry bag is much much lighter.

Us urban golfers, we're different.

Oh OK ... I thought you were just following him around with your camera. This makes a lot more sense.

I commend him as well.  It would have been very easy to fly and avoid Manhattan altogether, so maybe he is making a conscious decision to be green.

I frequent Penn Station as well (not "frequent" like you, but each time we visit NY)  but not with golf clubs. My wife's family (originally from East Meadow) moved out here a few years ago, so now our NY trips are limited to mostly cold, and busy Thanksgiving time.

Being 6'3" a lot of people don't seem that tall to me I guess.

I don't know.  I just edited my signature and typed it all in there manually.  (The logos are on the "smiley" toolbar)

They should make those bags with some rollerblade wheels in the bottom and a telescoping handle....boom, rolling luggage. Probably wouldn't help in this case, two things rolling is impossible.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
