With my third selection in the draft , the Red team selects longtime TST staffer, from the pacific northwest

Red Team

1. @Golfingdad

2. @tristanhilton85

3. @mchepp

Michael has been playing golf for close to 20 years and he's currently a 5 handicap. He recently moved from San Jose to the Portland area and he works in high tech marketing. He's contributed some great content for the site with his reviews, blogs and TST staff predictions articles. His consistency is going to be a huge asset to the team. Look forward to talking about Mac O'Grady with him (when Erik isn't around).

With the final (for now) selection in the Blue Team draft , I'm going to go to the opposite end of the scale in terms of age.

Blue Team

1. @jamo .

2. @saevel25

3. @SavvySwede

4. @DaveP043

@DaveP043 is 59 but doesn't look a day over P043. He lives near Washington, DC which probably means he's an Ovechkin fan, but I'm choosing him anyway. If anything, and if he is a Capitals fan, he's used to a team in red losing. He is… an engineer.

Dave will act as the chaperone (and if @jamo is nice maybe he'll buy some beer for him) of the group and will keep the rowdy ones in line. He'll contribute some solid, steady golf and some worldly experience as he's traveled a bit more than most. He's captained his Interclub team and I'll lean on him to help me make pairings and whatnot. His accurate tee shots will play well in a desert golf environment, and he will perform well under pressure (the pressure being that he said he performs well under pressure… :D).

I'll announce the candidates for the final two spots after @mvmac makes his fourth losing pick here shortly. :-)

With my fourth selection in the draft , the Red team selects our easterly most located player, longtime member, West Coast in spirit....

Red Team

Kyle lives in Northwest Arkansas and has been playing golf since he was 18. His handicap is dropping as we speak as he plays more golf and works on his swing. Kyle being an 8 handicap is great and all but I really picked him because I think this look will intimidate the East Coast team.

I'll never be sure whether it was my wit and charm, the wisdom that comes with my advanced years, or the sterling 86 that I shot at #2 on Sunday, but I'm incredibly proud to be included. I've just spent the weekend with another OSU fan, so i'll even know how to tolerate @saevel25 . Go blue!

Awesome. Super awesome! Thank you guys for selecting me to be part of this. I can't wait to play in Phoenix and meet some other long time TST members! I'll try not to intimidate too many guys haha. When my swing is off my hook can be a killer tho! is it too late at night to go to the range?

      Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      By DaveP043 ·

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
