A gold mine of a find -- a PDF version of the 2017-18 PGA Tour Player Handbook and Tournament Regulations

This book covers many of the do's and dont's for players, as well as many of the ways tournaments are to be conducted.
Of particular interest (to me, anyways) are the individual tournament exemptions (beginning page 28) and a greatly detailed PGA Tour Exemption Category section (beginning page 105).

Happy Reading!

Fascinating reading - what a great way to spend time on a rainy day in Chicago!

Just an older guy with 7 or 8  clubs and a MacKenzie Walker bag

This is fascinating, only part way through but a couple of things ...

They get a money clip? WTH? "In addition, a player will receive a personal money clip. However, the money clip will not be recognized as a credential at PGA TOUR cosponsored events. If lost, a replacement money clip is available at a cost of $100."

Please, please let a caddies wear a skort - "All caddies are required to wear solid-colored khaki-style long pants, which touch the top of the shoe, or solid-colored, knee-length tailored shorts or skorts, and a collared shirt while on club property."

It is indexed by Google, there a couple of search results for it, but not sure if it's supposed to be available to the general public.

There's also Web.com:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

True, but there are always those who are not aware of publications such as these, or where to find them online.  For a while I couldn't find the current one for the main Tour, but finally did by putting in the right search terms.

    • Day 118: 4/23/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 2/24. Finished 1 mph over last session but 4 mph slower than the preceding program.
    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
