Am I the only avid (and average) golfer who has no clue about spin rates, loft angles, etc on this platform? I just go hit the ball, and try to get it in the hole.
Excited to announce that Shane has committed to continue his academic and athletic career in XC and Track at Wartburg College. Go Knights!!

Well this may be stupid on my part, but I think I'm going to play the US Senior Am qualifier this summer. Extremely small chance of qualifying, but now that I'm 55, might as well give it a shot. I need all my Twitter golf coaches to help me on this journey. Late July qualifier
I am wiped out after an amazing weekend of golf. 36 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday (plus 10 holes on the Horse course on Friday), then 18 on Sunday.
@theprairieclub
never disappoints, hoping I can host as many of you as possible in the next few years.
Golf Twitter, I'm hosting a group at The Prairie Club in Nebraska the first weekend in June (6/1 - 6/4), and I need 2 more golfers for the trip if anyone is interested. DM me for details.
@MidwestGolfJake
and others can vouch for how much fun it is!!

Could not have had more fun this past weekend hosting
@Top100Rick
and friends at
@theprairieclub
Rick is a very gracious guest, he even let me beat him one or twice. Golf was great, but the comraderie was even better. Can't wait to do it again.
This is without a doubt my favorite tweet ever. I could not be any prouder of Shane. He set some lofty goals this year and worked his tail off to meet them. A 2nd, 3rd and 4th place this year at State, plus 3 school records.
@runmarion
SCHOOL RECORD-Congratulations Shane Erb. His final race (1600) Shane places 2nd with yet another school record- his 3rd of the year. Shane has etched his name as the greatest distance runner in Marion history. Shane has broken records this year in the 1600m, 3200m, and Dist. Med
I lost my Dad 5 years ago today, miss him every day. Wish I could go back and spend more time with him, and have my kids know him better. He wasn't an outwardly emotional person, but I know he loved us and was proud of all his grandchildren.
72 holes the last 2 days at
@theprairieclub
, I've shot E, -1, -1, E
Hitting the ball great, just a couple loose shots here and there are costing me.
18 more tomorrow, then back to reality.
One golf course I'm really excited to try and play this year is the updated
@QuarryOaksUSA
near Omaha, I really liked it before, but I think the update is going to be awesome.
The WaMaC has seen many state champions in its history but it has never seen a faster 1600m. Congrats to Shane Erb on breaking the meet record tonight to go along with his 3200m crown.
Started the day having not made a bogey for 32 holes, parred the first 9 before bogeying 10. 41 holes without a bogey has to be at least double my previous best. Need to keep it going this weekend in the club championship.
Absolutely no shame in finishing 2nd to one of the best Iowa prep distance runners ever. Shane gave it everything he had and made it close.

@runmarion
Congrats to Aiden on an incredible season and career.
Ramsey does it again‼️ After winning the 3200m and the 800m, the future Drake Bulldog claims the 3A 1600m state title as well, crossing the finish line in 4:15.24🏃♂️
I'm driving from Cedar Rapids, IA (Current temps in the 20's) to Omaha tomorrow just to play golf (temps in the 50's). Am I crazy? Or just a normal avid golfer? Approximately 4 hours each way, just going for the day.
Played an early morning round today before work. Might have been my best ever ball striking round. Hit 17 greens (missed one by 2 feet, still putted). Bogey free 67 (-5), even though my putting was average at best. Golf is fun when you strike it well!!
In the classroom.
On the grass circuit.
Here are those athletes & teams who earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors for their efforts during the 2023 cross country seasons.
Fun night of golf last night with
@BradlyLoughren
and
@Golfer_Jake_78
. I played pretty well, tying my 2nd lowest score ever of 63 (-5). Still got beat by
@BradlyLoughren
though, who birdied the last for 62!!!
Looking forward to the Club Championship this weekend, should be fun.
Well, I'm really missing
#GreaverCupV
right now seeing all the amazing pictures from the guys. Glad they are having a great time. I guess I'll have to live with Omaha Country Club, Tatanka, Frederick Peak and
@theprairieclub
starting Wednesday!!
Finished even par at the Ridge after bogeying the last hole. What a fun golf course.
@Ridgeturf
does an incredible job, 13 on the stimp today!! Course was in immaculate shape. Thanks for the hospitality.
Played my quarterfinal match in the world renowned Indian Creek match play tournament today. Played well, won 3&2. I get either
@BradlyLoughren
or
@scottberntsen
in the semi-finals.
I just want everyone to know I beat
@BradlyLoughren
this afternoon at Falcon Ridge.

. I am now only approximately 27 shots behind d for the weekend.
Two trips to the Prairie Club booked for the summer with pals, and another for the Boot and Buckle tournament. Going to be a busy summer, but can't wait.
Pacific Springs in Omaha was an enjoyable experience yesterday. Short course (6000 yards, par 70), but still was a fun layout. Shot 71, with 3 bogeys and 2 birdies. Pretty happy for first time out.
I don't understand why people care what other people are wearing on the golf course. Does this affect your game at all?? I only care what other people are wearing if let's me talk sh*t to them about it.
Last minute 2 day golf trip to Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena. 2 rounds at the North, 1 at the South and 1 at the General. Not a bad way to end the year. Friday/Saturday this week. Not quite as good as Prairie Dunes, but hopefully next year I can make that happen.
Final round of the Iowa Sr Am today, need to go low after two 79s the first 2 rounds. Ready to be home tonight. 9 rounds in the past 7 days is taking it's toll.
I've given up on

ever actually being helpful for getting
