"A typical golf shop: young, white, male, nice-looking, dressed well.
Does that message to an older Black man? Chances are it doesn't."

"The relationship has a better chance than the golf game."
Teaching is a skill. Playing well doesn't give you it. New Bag Drop out now.

Karen Peek lost her father at 14.
That same year, she found comfort in a game he never knew himself.

Today I tried to answer a bunch of questions about the East Potomac situation — where we are, how we got here, where things might go next, and what I think about it all. thefriedegg.com/articles/don…

Exclusive. Luxury. Manicured.
@jeffwarnegolf calls those the words that undo a golf club, and he built New Holland's pitch to filter out the people they appeal to most.
New episode of The Bag Drop out now.

Members and visitors. Not public and private. @jeffwarnegolf on why good golf should be shared, not gatekept.
Dropping tomorrow on The Bag Drop. ⛳

I talked to U.S. Mid-Am winner Andrew Bailey on this week’s episode of The Loop podcast. Bailey is a former pro who took down another former pro, Nate Smith, in the 36-hole final match.
Former pros re-entering the amateur ranks has become a HOT topic of discussion on Golf Twitter over the last few months. At last year’s U.S. Mid-Am, six of the final eight competitors were former professionals. Just a month ago, Mike Sposa, who made over 170 starts on the PGA Tour, won the U.S. Senior Am. That was the same week that former tour pro Colt Knost revealed that the USGA had put his bid for amateur reinstatement on hold as it re-evaluates its reinstatement guidelines. Knost made 199 starts on the PGA Tour and made over $4.3 million in his career.
As for Bailey, who now works for men’s golf apparel company Holderness and Bourne, he never made a single start on the PGA Tour. In fact, the only reason he has a profile page on the PGA Tour’s website is because he earned “the most conditional of conditional status” at Mackenzie Tour Q School in 2015. He briefly tried the mini tour life before realizing it was making him miserable and destroying his love for the game. After a rock-climbing injury knocked him out for six months, he applied for reinstatement.
Here’s Bailey explaining the full timeline below
Medinah #3 played remarkably this week! Huge props to the club for having the courage to hire OCM and take that step. The routing decisions made by the tour, however, were absolutely foolish. These critical matches coming down 16, 17, 18 should have been played here.

Chicago needs to show up and prove it’s the sports town I fell in love with by rooting for the international squad like they’re the 2010 Blackhawks tomorrow!
