@JoshuaWCarroll Prayers and continued prayers are on their way. Adorable future goober.

If you’re a praying type of person, pray on February 26th for a successful surgery for this future goober

@cbadair21 @MidwestGolfJake Great picture. I can’t wait for spring.

@MidwestGolfJake @cbadair21 I’d be a member and we’d never be on time to the in-laws 😁

@zack_thomps @cbadair21 What if you could see Elmwood from Hwy 30?

@MidwestGolfJake @BradlyLoughren Ah okay. Yes, I do it only to help you. It pains me more than it pains you. It’s a burden I just have to carry

@zack_thomps @BradlyLoughren Yes, just golf.

I know I'm a few days late here, but I wanted to gather my thoughts on pros, sometimes successful ones, being reinstated as amateurs. So here goes...buckle in for a long one...or skip this entirely. I can 100% see the side that many are taking that these guys made their living off this, and the level of competition and the practice it took to get there gives them an unfair advantage over a "normal mid am." I can also see the side that says, "Where else are these guys supposed to play?" Lastly, I have yet to see a really competitive Mid-Am who has said they don't want these guys in their fields, and I think that's the clincher for me. Facts is, most of the really competitive Mid-Ams played college golf, and a lot of them tried their hand at professional golf, though very few had success at that level. Furthermore, almost every highly competitive Mid-Am has a job that is incredibly supportive of their golf life. It's not a thing a guy working 50 hours a week and only playing golf on Saturdays can do. I think most of the really good Mid-Ams relish the chance to take down Colt Knost if he regains his Am status. They got to their level of golf by being insanely competitive and unafraid. So until I hear those guys complaining about former pros in their tourneys, I have no issue with former pros like Colt Knost getting their Am status back.

@MidwestGolfJake @BradlyLoughren Just to clarify, we are referring to golf, yeah? I don’t want to comment more until that gets answered.

@BradlyLoughren @zack_thomps He doesn't practice.

@BryanTweed16 @Top100Rick @MidwestGolfJake I barely remember my own shots but that hole out is burned into my memory. What a great place for a great shot.

@Top100Rick I think my last one was at Hazeltine with @MidwestGolfJake & @zack_thomps in 2021. About 115 yards on the 6th hole with a gap wedge. All I do is eagle when I play with golf influencers..

When was the last time you holed out from the fairway? From over 100 yards? Nicolai Hojgaard did it twice today in 3 holes. Insane! I’ve only done it once, eagle at Flint Hills. Golfing for 25 years, single digit for much of it. Am I just crazy unlucky?

@MidwestGolfJake @bridgestonegolf @ChrisGotterup @BradlyLoughren @Lewygolfer I can handle those with ease! Unfortunately, though, I can’t play golf with them.

@MidwestGolfJake @FUPodcast

@FUPodcast I want to, but @zack_thomps will be sad.

I am not an athlete. I have decent hand eye coordination and that has enabled me to be a decent golfer, and I was a pretty good bowler until I retired. But I know this lack of athleticism affects my ability to maintain my golf game. Every season it takes me months to get back to where I was at the end of the prior year. Add to this my overly analytic brain and I can be a mess for months until it clicks. Over time I've found playing or doing something golf related 3-4 days per week is best for me to get and stay at my best. But my current job makes that amount of golf challenging. How often do you need to play/practice to maintain a skill level? Any good at home or in-office tricks that help?

@91HuskerFan @MidwestGolfJake See Jake, this is how I’m helping. If Pat stays busy traveling maybe we have a fighting chance to keep up with him. And Yes, definitely appreciate the sacrifice!

Im sure my bosses appreciate my sacrifice though. @MidwestGolfJake @zack_thomps

These work trips overseas are really getting in the way of my golf game. Off to Portugal again.

@PE_Dahl @MidwestGolfJake lol. I guess on rare occasions even a drunk lumberjack can be effective.

@zack_thomps @MidwestGolfJake And yet you kicked my butt

We have @PE_Dahl playing a non-stop 100, and he just got out driven by @zack_thomps. Truly remarkable.

@MidwestGolfJake @ScottSzabo I’m sold.

@ScottSzabo Dang, I need to make it a priority to get back out there. @zack_thomps - check this out.

@caddietales And that's saying something given that you've met @zack_thomps.

Ludvig Aberg may be the most emotionally mature person ever

@caddietales We have a serious distance problem. We must roll back the ball immediately. #wehavetakeoff

I had to look for an errant drive up there once

@91HuskerFan My guess is he knows you well enough to know the trash talking is going up.

Hypothetically, if you were playing golf with someone who is basically going to be your boss starting the next day, would you tone down the trash talk or ramp it up??

@91HuskerFan Great hypothetical question. Do you think this would lead your new boss to tie your merit to your ability to make him a better golfer? Do you think he may intentionally try to send you on so much travel that your index goes up?

@joe3jax @BryanTweed16 @MidwestGolfJake Not so much. I think the holes along the lake are more of the signature holes. Just saw a buddy card a red score from the fairway. Pretty fun stuff on a historic course. This was a booklet from 1991 US Open. According to the ads mercury and Mitsubishi were luxury vehicles then 😊

@zack_thomps @BryanTweed16 @MidwestGolfJake Is it a template hole?

@BryanTweed16 This look familiar? Feel like I’ve seen a hole out here. @MidwestGolfJake
