@JeffreyParson Just come up to Sand Creek!

Hats off to crew at Tex Consolver. After the winter kill that affected so many, course has really bounced back better than others. Greens are terrific. Know that was a ton of work.

@DoerflerJared Last point to this. SCS allows 7 day ahead tee times. And, yes tees are in the clubhouse!

@DoerflerJared If you want to play a great course, come to Kansas and play Sand Creek Station in Newton, KS. Host of the 2024 USGA Adaptive. Not bragging, but ask around, best bang for the buck! $50ish, cart, range and golf tees.

Golf has a problem. Tee times. Golf rounds were around 500 million in 2006 - that is when they started to decline. In 2019 - there were 441 million rounds. And golf course supply has generally followed that trend. From 2006 to 2023, over 2,000 golf courses were closed in the United States. And there have been 18 consecutive years of negative golf course supply. Golf rounds were at 531 million in 2023. An increase of 90 million in just four years. Tee times are more difficult to get, and green fees have increased. My concern is that the growth could be stifled due to a lack of supply. I did a survey last week (read the full piece to get all of the results). 659 people responded to the survey. This is what surprised me most. • 208 found it difficult to make a tee time • 328 found it somewhat difficult to make a tee time Of the 536 that answered the above. Nearly 60% have played fewer rounds this year. I do think there are opportunities to help increase capacity with our current golf courses.

@DoerflerJared Great place! We are very proud of it! Links style for the most part.

@mpierce1969 Heard great things. I am a Kansas guy - love that state. Need to get there and play.

@JeffreyParson Agreed! That’s tough. Ask for Mark for some local knowledge and where the pins are. I go out early! Also, there is a big snake that hangs out on 9

@mpierce1969 Oh I love Sand Creek. We are lucky to have it. But when 6 is playing 456 into the wind … I question it for a minute. 😉

Beryl make it to Kansas?

@JeffreyParson We are really proud of it. I tell our golfers to get through 1-2. It opens up. Play 7 with an extra club. 10 is it is…thanks for coming out! Hope to see you soon!

@mpierce1969 Played there yesterday, too! Didn’t play as well yesterday, but it was so hot and windy and the tees were back, weird pin placements … too much for me! Looks like a big deal out there. I was surprised to see that much setup

@TheRealCoach_JB You are an idiot!

🚨REAL TALK🚨 Biden is crying for help! Our government is sick!

@CoachDuze Ken, we went to school at Bethel together. Hope all is well and your success is surely impressive! Take care!

Want to thank everyone who came out Sunday! It was great to see so many people I had the privilege to work with over the last 32 years. People from 6 different coaching stops came and I am feeling extremely grateful for the journey!

@N_J_M1999 @usmntonly No

@usmntonly I agree pay to play shouldn’t exist, but dosent every school have a soccer team kids can join and play on for free?

"One of the things which shocked me here in America is that children have to pay in order to play. We have to stop this." FIFA President Gianni Infantino on soccer in the United States 🇺🇸

@CoachDuze Hey Ken. We went to Bethel together! My son played against your teams. You are quality! Be well!

@piersmorgan Had it. 4 weeks of feeling crap. Vaxed and boosted

Who else has had the latest Covid strain? I’m into day 7 of incessant cough, snotty nose, raging sinuses, asthma-like breathing, Barry White voice, and tedious fatigue.. would love to hear it’s only an 8-day thing.

@RailerBoosters @NewtonHSKS @GoRailers @ironhammer @coachboez @CarlyStavola

@corey_miller5 Bad take.

Lots of mad folks in my replies here. Listen. Close to 10% of the players who have ever played for the national team have come from the St. Louis area. That alone is bonkers.

@threshersmsoc Nice job boys!

@usmntonly Leave him and his family alone.

Bro Messi really at Publix 😂😂😂

@MattShutz That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

Would you work on fitness for a 2014 (U9) boys club team during the summer (one of two summer practices a week)?

@raffyboiii @SorareMexico @Play_Sharper Raf, you guys are just not very good right now. No disrespect, just not good.

@SorareMexico @Play_Sharper Como me encantaría ver un 4-2-3-1 con sexbastian atrás de Santi, orbelin por lado izquierdo y Ozziel por derecha.
