YOU GO JAMES HAHN! YES! Kostis, you forget to ask him what golf related YouTube channels he watches. 

 

 

Very happy for him.

I'm also a fan because he seems very personable when he talks about his insecurities about being on tour.  I can't think of many others out there that would talk about thoughts of failing on tour and having to sell shoes in order to make a living. 

Hey, @nevets88, do you think since apparently Hahn spends a considerable amount of time on youtube looking at golf vids that he might have come across TST?

1.3 Mill out to keep him out of shoe sale's for at least 10 years. Although putting a high heel shoe on an attractive woman could have it's benefits.. Good for James Hahn, seems like an easy guy to like..

Phil really one hole from a win as well.....good for him too

It's better than that: Roberto Castro is Costa Rican, but he's also 3/4 Swedish.

Training aids are allowed in the bag, so long as the player doesn't use them during a round. I looked that up a few years ago after seeing so many pros carry alignment sticks in their bags.

I've noticed the alignment sticks before, and noticed the Orange Whip today. I guess the caddies just prefer to stick everything in the bag and lug it all around. You could have "a baby's arm holding an apple" in your bag, and it wouldn't make any difference!

Let's see who gets the reference!

Is this PXG's first win on the PGA Tour? I don't think any of their other staffers have a win this year.

Yes - more info:

Quote

With his win on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship, James Hahn picked up his second PGA TOUR victory in the last two years. But the victory was significant for another reason as well: It marked the first time Parsons Xtreme Golf — the manufacturer of 11 of Hahn's clubs — has made it to the winner's circle on TOUR. 

The Scottsdale-based PXG was launched by Bob Parsons, the founder of web domain GoDaddy and owner of Scottsdale National Golf Club, in 2015. However, it wasn't until this year that PXG made a major splash, inking Hahn, Zach Johnson, Billy Horschel, Chris Kirk and Charles Howell III to equipment deals. 

Driver: PXG 0811X Prototype (Aldila Rogue Max 65TX shaft), 9 degrees

3-wood: PXG 0341 (Aldila NV 2KXV 80X shaft), 15 degrees

Hybrid: PXG 0317 (Aldila NV 2KXV 85X shaft), 17 degrees

Irons: PXG 0311T (3-iron; Aldila Rogue 110X shaft), (4-9; True Temper Project X LZ 6.5 shafts)

Would be funny if he did. Hey James, if you're reading this, open an account say hello to us and be like the first pro ever, to post on a discussion board.

How can a player alter the club to be advantageous?  That's the part I don't get. 

What characteristics can you change?! A bent putter provides what over a non bent one?

Changing lofts on a club, for one...it is a good rule that is needed.  He broke it, and took his lumps.  On to the next one.
