I am hoping TST can help me out!

I am looking to find out what courses a number of PGA Tour members call home. If you know how I can most easily find this info, or if you know where any of them are members, please post in here!

Thanks a bunch.

I dunno if it's necessarily their "home course" but Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood, Raymond Floyd, Louis Oousty are based out of Old Palm CC in Palm Beach Gardens.

Rickie Fowler, Tiger, Dustin Johnson, and Keegan Bradley are at Medalist in Jupiter.

Ernies Els is Bears Club. I think Luke Donald and Rory are there too.

Obviously there are a lot of PGA Tour Pros who live in Palm Beach County.

Not sure about Orlando at this point, but Bubba Watson lives at Tiger's old house at Isleworth.

Poulter, McDowell, and Justin Rose are Lake Nona.

These guys are obviously all over the place though. Not 100% these are their "home courses," so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaking of home clubs, up to sometime in the 1960s, a touring pro would always be introduced as Joe Golfer, playing out of the [name of golf club] in [city, state].

Does anybody know what that was all about? A holdover from the days when touring pros were club pros in the off season? Do you know when that practice stopped?

While that's a related question, it's probably slightly OT for this thread.

One of my college buddies lives in Jupiter. I went down there to visit him a few weeks ago and played three rounds of golf.  If you've ever been there, you'll understand why--there is a championship golf course in pristine condition per ever square mile of land in that area.  North Palm, West Palm, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter--they could all be the best golf town in any state in the US.

Sorry SoCal folks--y'all have the weather, but you can't touch the number and quality of courses in that area.

Don't want to get off topic or bash Florida by any means because it's obviously a great place to be if you're a golfer but the lack of topography in my opinion in that state (i.e. it's the flattest state in the union) makes it hard for there to be truly great courses there. You can have fun/good courses that are in fantastic shape, but IMHO, a great course needs some contours and natural topography that Florida isn't able to offer. There's a reason none of the US Open, PGA, Ryder Cup, etc. courses are in Florida.

Yes, that reason is called summer.  They don't play US Opens or PGA Championships in Florida or Texas because they are held in June and August respectively.  The USGA chooses traditional courses in NY, PA, MI, which were operational before air conditioning and development came to FL.


Plus, there's this event called the Players Championship which takes place in FL each year and it is considered the 5th major.  In addition to the WGC event at Doral and the other tour events.

They have played US Opens in Texas several times (Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston) and most of those were before everybody had air conditioning.

They also played the US Open in St. Louis and that's the hottest place in the world in the summer. (Hyperbole but not much). ;-)

My wife's family lives near Tulsa, that can be a furnace as well, and they've played the US Open there.

    • 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?
