@feedtheball Nobody works the ball anymore.

The hole hasn’t changed. It’s been like this for decades. In 1999 our publication deemed this one of the greatest par 3s in golf. Why the sudden outcry?

@feedtheball Looks like a Visalia onion to me

Any guesses where this is?

@Mitchmullen15 Best you saw all year! Credit @ce_golf and @PearsonGolf. Was genuine fun working with those professionals.

@RonWhittenGD I would agree with all three of those things. Greens were excellent, bunkering was maybe the best I saw this year, and plenty of scramble opportunities from the trees. I loved it

The top private courses I played in 2023. I drove to PD on my ‘22 golf trip just to take a peek at a course I’d never play. I made the same drive 9 months later the day before my round there. Life moves fast! 1. Prairie Dunes 2. Twin Hills 3. Flint Hills National 4. Topeka CC

@GCIMagazineGuy Tanglewood

The first hole of likely the most affordable course that has hosted one of the rotating men’s majors played in America. Any guesses …

When and where was this photo taken? 🧐

⁦⁦600 mile commute for me this morning from our job in Indiana to spray ⁦@Billy_Bunker⁩ at new Oakwood CC par 3 course. Sod and seed going down as well. ⁦⁦⁦⁦@omajohnc⁩ ⁦@ce_golf⁩ ⁦@RonWhittenGD⁩ ⁦@turfmaterials⁩ ⁦@EcoBunkerLtd⁩

@GeoffShac @UCLAAthletics @kaj33 Geoff, please pass along my congratulations. I can recall watching him on TV while I was in high school.

Proud day as my dad Lynn joined the @UCLAAthletics HOF. Learned tonight he’s one six in men’s NCAA basketball history to win three rings and just one of four to start on three title teams along with @kaj33 Henry Bibby and Curtis Rowe.

@ERDoctorRyan @GolfDigest Yeah, well I am yesterday’s news so I guess the past tense wasn’t inappropriate.

Hey @RonWhittenGD! I ran into a @GolfDigest course rater panelist at The Lido today. He referred to you as the former Editor and said, “He WAS a good man.” I informed him you were still very much alive and kicking, so you’re welcome. 😉

@Mitchmullen15 @DornickMaxwell @craig_colton Topeka Country club was not a Perry Maxwell original. Bendelow 9, expanded to 18 by Langford. In ‘39 club sold off holes so Perry added more holes to the west. All greens are Maxwell and great ones.

New golf goal: Play every Perry Maxwell course. As I’ve learned more of what I like about golf courses and factor in proximity, it seems Maxwell is a perfect fit. Would love insight on any missing/wrongfully included courses if you’ve got time. @DornickMaxwell @craig_colton

Worth the $8 turnpike fees and 99 degree weather to check out the renovations by @ce_golf @RonWhittenGD and @MammothBuilt. Nowhere else will you find a 1906 Bendelow with design expansion by @LangfordMoreau and Perry Maxwell overhaul. Topeka CC is one of the best in the state.

@JDLuebe @ce_golf @MammothBuilt @LangfordMoreau Appreciate the comments.

@historyinmemes Great clip, but this was not during the Senior PGA Championship. This happened at a grand opening exhibition with Jack, Johnny, Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer. On the first tee, Watson and Jack razzed Arnie about not wearing any socks.

In 2010, during the telecast of the 77th KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, Jack Nicklaus was seen educating Johnny Miller on how to properly putt the ball on the immaculate 10th green at Harbor Shores.

@kurteverett @ce_golf @KentMorgison @ASGCA Back nine of Topeka CC almost done, starting on front nine now. Course has remained open thruout the reconstruction.

@ce_golf @KentMorgison @RonWhittenGD @ASGCA Reno complete?

Ron and I had a great visit at Topeka Country Club this morning. Kent @KentMorgison has the golf course looking great. @RonWhittenGD @ASGCA

Or the LIV Cup! And tour histories will report that players always have been competing for that cup. Money talks. The rest of us just Tweet.

loss of some smaller tournaments, like the John Deere Classic, which deserves better. And with PIF the new Big Money in PGA Tour golf, what becomes of Fed Ex's involvement? My prediction: By 2025, tour players will be competing in the season-long chase for the PIF Cup.

From my view, Jay Monahan will go down in history as the Neville Chamberlain of golf. Peace in our time in professional golf? I don't think so. For instance, any tour attempt to condition reapplication by LIV golfers on the cancellation of their guaranteed LIV money would result

@S_HennesseyGD And for decades I never missed the golf superintendents trade show, which was always held the week of Valentine’s Day. Hey, duty called.

@RonWhittenGD Amazing. It sounds like the ammunition is just as effective as it was 30+ years ago…

Tense times in the Hennessey house. I played golf Sunday & Monday. I'd gotten permission previously, but just reminded my wife I'm playing in an event up in Connecticut tomorrow: "Whatever. I'm used to you not being here." Asking for your Ts and Ps during these difficult times
