Throwback to 2012 TaylorMade US Open party when we got to meet 2017 Masters Champion Sergio Garcia! Very happy and proud of my TaylorMade brother!!

Great article about what it's like to grind on the mini-tours. I lived that life in 2006-2007, and though it was stressful and disappointing in the end, it was also an amazing experience and provided some of my favorite memories. Those that make it through the mini-tours have lots of support from sponsors, so they can focus on golf and not finances, as well as the talent to know the mini-tours are just a stepping stone on their career path. Though I didn't make it playing, I still ended up in a great place for my career and family and I wouldn't change anything about it!

Played my first round with the new TaylorMade TP5 golf ball yesterday in the NCPGA Pro Series 3 tournament at Contra Costa CC. Literally took them straight from the box and onto the first tee with no other testing at all. How'd they do?? How does 92% fairways, 89% Greens in regulation, +6 strokes gained tee to green, 5 birdies and a 3-under 69 sound!? Go out and find this ball ASAP! You won't be craving Kirkland Signature balls ever again! #TP5 #BetterEverything #taylormadegolf

I think maybe I need to figure out how to practice more...Just got back from Cabo playing in a Pro-am and came back with some scary stats (5 rounds): Par 5 Scoring - +6 (1 birdie) Proximity inside 15 feet from 25-50 yards - 37% Proximity inside 15 feet from greenside bunker - 23% Proximity inside 45 feet from 50-100 yards - 60%... Hit the green from 200+ yards from fairway/rough - 0/10 Good news: 70% Fairway accuracy with Driver Break-even Strokes Gained Putting Proximity inside 15 feet from 0-25 yards - 96% Proximity inside 45 feet from 125-175 (the distance I practice!) - 80% I stink at golf...

Shocking news about Rancho Canada! The site of CCS golf playoffs for the past 20+ years is closing! I wonder where they will move the championships to now?!

Flop wall challenge today at X-Golf! Akira Isayama (pictured) was the champion, flopping it over the 6-foot high wall from 3 feet, 4 inches away
