I see he's a ProV1 kind of guy versus a ProV1x. Either that or they stamped it special with black numbers regardless of which ball it is.

POTUS golf challenge. Can you shoot your presidential number listing in 9? LBJ would have had to shoot par, pretty sure he had no interest in golf though.

He needs all the "spin" he can get. ;-)

At some point, they better be able to, or they should just take up another sport :-)

Ha ha. If I got one, I'd keep the box as a momento. Give some to friends.

At this point, they're pretty good if they shoot their listing number. Without mulligans :-O Or secret service "intervention".

His listing number is 0. Guy is basically self appointed. :-)

Maybe on a par 3; this guy is the worst president athlete we've had since William Howard Taft. Have you seen his swing? How about his free throws or throwing out a first pitch? Brutal.

Good point but I bet FDR could have made 1 free throw out of 22 attempts so overall athletic ability, I'll go with FDR.

Just googled it, he made two! That is pretty bad, though. Sounds like his basketball game is in the gutter.

      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.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
