ListenStatistics help, but the best partnerships in team golf have something harder to measure.
ListenA 39-year-old part-time taxi driver without electricity or running water makes the cut in a pro event with decades-old clubs.
Ryan French and Mark Baldwin talk about Ciganda's comments and getting revenge on Kupcho; Europe winning the Solheim Cup; a former teacher getting in contention at Champions Tour; results from Korn Ferry Tour, Epson Tour and DP World Tour; and Monday Q's upcoming week at The Golf Party.
Tomorrow there could be one of the most unlikely @ChampionsTour winners ever. Monday Q Jay Jurecic is tied for the lead with Zach Johnson headed into the final round. Jurecic was a school teacher for decades in a tiny little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He didn't play high school golf or college golf and didn't even attempt the game until he was 18. He became good relative quickly but teaching and the fact he lived in UP of Michigan aren't conducive to getting better. Yet somehow he did…and then some. In fact he would spend his summers on the Dakotas Tour playing mini-tour events. And he had a win and numerous good finishes. When he turned 50 in 2021 he resigned from teaching and started chasing the Champions Tour. But he's only qualified for 3 events in five years. Between those events he played wherever he could. The guy is a true grinder. Last season he won the Michigan Tournament of Champions, most the players were 30 years younger than him. He did it by making eagle on the last hole when his 3-wood from 260 hit the flag and be tapped I'm for eagle to tie for the lead. He then won in a playoff. Tomorrow a former teacher from a tiny town in the UP of Michigan, who didn't play high school or college golf, and in just his 4th ever Champions event will tee off tied for the lead. If that doesnt make you love Monday Qs, well I can't help you.
ListenAlex made a mistake. A big one. It cost him his job. But one bad decision shouldn’t erase a career spent fighting for others.
I was just sent a video of someone going hammer on a club pro because they couldn't get caddies (the club has very limited caddies in the fall once kids go back to school). The person was wildly out of line and I would post it but I don't want the person who shot the video to get in trouble. But I feel so bad for club pros. 95% of people are great at clubs, the 5% outweights the 95% and its not close. Give up your summers, your weekends, your holidays and get bitched at by people who will never be happy. Every club pro deserves a raise.

The sponsor can give their exemptions out to who they please, but I’d think an LPGA event that goes DEEP into the priority list would find a spot in the field for one of the best amateurs in the world. That being said it’s great to have her in the Monday Q field. https://t.co/hyThRoqqgU
Last week @markbaldwin1 and I were lucky enough to play MPCC in @JakeTrout Golf Party pro-am that raised a ton of money for great causes in golf. We wrote about the week, amazing memories from the AT&T, a hilarious moment with Huey Lewis and much more https://t.co/zGiiyy6ish
Non golf tweet. But one of my most important tweets I’ve put out. A follower who has become a good friend has a son who has gone thru a shit storm over the last month. And he needs our help. Kettler is a Navy Officer and in mid August he had an allergic reaction to something. At first the doctors thought it was something minor and sent him home with Antibiotics. Just a few days later he woke up in severe pain, and was sent to the ER, they realized he was in great danger and sent immediately in an ambulance to the burn unit at Loyola. His skin was literally burning off his body from the allergenic reaction. He was admitted to ICU and diagnosed with Steven Johnson Syndrome. His case was so severe that it was nearly fatal. All of which came from the Antibiotics prescribed in the first visit. Kettles dad Skip has left his job to come care for him and the family is renting an Airbnb. Kettler is out of the hospital but can barely open his eyes and his recovery will be a long term process. Skip is staying in Chicago area to transfer him back and forth to rehab and help with every day activities. Kettler is not allowed back on base per doctors orders. On top of that there is a dispute about who is responsible for the medical bills and as of right now the family might be on the hook for them. Kettler is devastated that his Navy career could possible be over. He wanted so badly to follow in his grandfathers footsteps who was in the navy for 32 years. Help if you can.
I hope, if needed, the PGA Tour will help the Asian Tour survive, because talking with players there is at least mild concern that the Tour is in trouble and will be a shell of its former self. PIF pulling their funding has put them in a really bad spot. https://t.co/eIRy8eOqrb
I did buy him ice cream in the Bahamas 2 years ago and it is likely the reason he got his pga tour card this year. https://t.co/acvaGKnCTJ
