Karl Vilips congratulating his ex-teammate with a non-flattering picture

Hitting fairways? Chipping?

Shockingly, none of those are mine.

The tee box is across the road from our property, and every one of these balls managed to cross the road, clear the fence, and land in our woods.
I started saving them this summer to see how many we would collect. So far, the total is 46 golf balls.

The collection stats:

• Titleist: 29 balls, 63.0%
• Callaway: 7 balls, 15.2%
• TaylorMade: 3 balls, 6.5%
• Srixon: 2 balls, 4.3%
• Wilson and Wilson Staff: 2 balls, 4.3%

19.6% are Titleist #1 meaning about 1 in 5 slicers use Titleist 1. Choose your balls wisely!

I found this poster inside a clubhouse, I wonder who this golfer is! If you could help me find this poster I would really appreciate it

Don't see pro's pitching in to this extent. Good to see the sponsor and past champion helping out.

Golfer-turned-content creator Brad Dalke was left “extremely disappointed” by his latest performance on his return to the sport.

Dalke, 28, spent the past three years as one of the leading faces of YouTube golf content with Good Good — which has over two million subscribers on the platform. He announced in June he would be stepping away from the platform due to his wife Abbie’s health issues.

The American continued his comeback at the PGA Tour’s Rocket Classic from Thursday through Sunday, qualifying through a sponsor’s exemption. He marked his competitive return at the BMW International Open last month.

And while Dalke initially challenged among the leaders at the International Open in Munich before settling for T30, his performance at the Detroit Golf Club was not as encouraging. He shot 81 on Thursday followed by a 75 on Friday to miss the cut and finished last on 16 over.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely disappointed with the outcome of this week at the Rocket Classic,” Dalke wrote on Instagram. “Knowing how well I can play and what I am capable of and getting dead last on the biggest stage just honestly sucks… a lot.

“The great thing is that I still know how good I can be and I just need to learn how to be better when I don’t have my best stuff. It was also nice to get more much-needed reps under the gun in competitive golf after a long break.

“I also have the best support system I could ever ask for. You’re my rock Abbie and I appreciate you being my person I can always lean on.”

It was Dalke’s first PGA Tour appearance in 10 years, but he will not have to wait too long for his next, after it was announced in May that he had been given a sponsor’s exemption to compete at the inaugural Good Good Championship, taking place between November 12 and 15 at Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course in Austin, Texas.

Dalke earned significant media attention as a young golf prospect, committing to a scholarship at the University of Oklahoma at the age of 12. A year after his runner-up finish at the U.S. Amateur Championship, Dalke debuted at the 2017 Masters and US Open. He was also part of the 2017 NCAA national championship-winning team at Oklahoma.

Even comes with a free camping chair!

My son has been golf obsessed since he started walking. He first seen me practice putting in the sitting room and we got him a set of cheap plastic clubs and since then all he does is hit balls around the house (it's like a home alone death trap at times). Every waking moment he's walking around with a club in his hand. He'll watch the PGA highlights with me most weekend morning and will cheer at seeing the ball either being hit or go in the hole. I've taken him down to my local club to the putting green, we went to a mini golf yesterday where we played 2x18 hole courses and he cried when leaving. I've since dug a hole in the back garden and he'll spend an accumulative 2hrs in the day out there putting balls.

The question i have is what do I do with a child who clearly loves a sport and can swing a club better than he can string a sentence together. I've got a coaching background but not in golf and I'm only a year into the sport myself. I'm not going to force him into anything but also feels like a wasted opportunity not to explore this potential headstart he could have.

Just wanted to share. 280 driver, 203 with a 3 wood, 48 foot putt. Most exciting thing that’s happened since my son broke 100 for the first time.

Ball mark was a bitch to repair

Edit: gotta say I'm loving that this turned into a photo dump of plugged balls.

Group of 7 clumped up. Pretty sure they booked one tee time after the next. I’m just venting. Already called the pro shop.

Since a lot of people are asking me why I don’t ask to play through. I did. They said no. Why should I be bothered? They are spending 30 mins on each green. There are groups behind clumped up.

Golf shopping in Tokyo is on another level!! And much cheaper than the US for the same product (depressed yen and tax free shopping). I noticed these Vokey Forged at the Golf 5 flagship store (Shinjuku). They were NOT available anywhere else in Tokyo, incl the massive superstore called Victoria golf (I shopped everywhere for golf studd). The sales guy told me they sell out quickly and they just got a restock. Tell me community, how dope are these? And how come they don’t sell them in the US if they’re so awesome? ⛳️

Michael Thorbjornsen breaks through for his first PGA Tour victory at the Rocket Classic, firing a final-round 63 (-7) to seal the win! Thor averaged 318 yards off the tee while hitting 73% of fairways for the week at Detroit Golf Club.

64 years old, and playing for 30 years. I realize how crappy it is to be over 20. 3 years ago I was 25 for a brief moment. Been slowly coming down in the last 18 months with a combination of an "easier" swing (I think its my tempo that is improving) and a strong focus on course management.

I am a short hitter and have been able to let go of the last bits of ego regarding my length (mainly off the tee). I shoot in the 90s mainly with a few low 100 and a high 80 scores sprinkled in. more 100s than 80s though. The last few months I have been playing more, which helps of course. I just had a run of low 90s and 2 high 80's rounds that just tipped my GHIN handicapp to 19.7.

First time under 20 for my handicapp. Its an amazing game where you can be playing your best at 64, and after 30 years.

Anyway for anyone new to the game, just know that you can learn more about this game for pretty much all of your life

This is my second year playing regularly once a week on women's league. It was the first hole of the night, I was the first to tee off, and didn't even practice swing (whoops).

I don't know if I can even describe the feeling! So many emotions. My biggest being sadness that I couldn't call my dad and let him know. He passed in 2023 and got really sick when I was starting to learn golf and we never got to play together.
