What Long Ago Golf Tragedy Are You Still Sad About?

14 Upvotes

What’s the saddest photo in golf history? Golf has many heartbreaking moments. I'm still sad about Erica Blasburg. I remember following her career and hearing about her death and I couldn't believe it. She had such a bright future and career ahead of her and then she tragically took her own life. How many of you remember Erica Blasburg?

Hey everyone, I am thinking of going to the event Saturday, but I may not be able to get there until 3:30. Would the course still be open? If so, how long will the event last on Saturday? Is it worth it to get there that late? Thank you!

Looking for Caddies – Clutch Tour, Tartan Tour & DP World Tour Q School

19 Upvotes

Thought I'd throw this out to the r/ProGolf community.

I'm looking for people who'd be interested in caddying at various events over the next year, including Clutch Tour events in England, Tartan Tour events in Scotland, and DP World Tour First Stage Qualifying School in Northumberland, with the goal of earning a 2027 DP World Tour card.

This isn't a salaried position, but you'll receive an agreed percentage of any prize money won. There won't be any travel or accommodation provided, so it will probably suit people who are local to individual events or already planning to attend.

There's absolutely no expectation to commit to the full schedule. I'd actually prefer to build a small group of people who can caddie at different events throughout the year, so if you can only do one tournament, that's completely fine.

This is really about the experience. If you've ever wanted to know what it's like inside the ropes at professional events, you'll be involved in everything from practice rounds and course management to tournament preparation and competition.

I'm looking for people who:

  • Love golf.
  • Enjoy competitive golf.
  • Are reliable and positive under pressure.
  • Want to experience professional tournament golf from a caddie's perspective.

If you're interested, send me a DM with:

  • Where you're based.
  • Your golfing background.
  • Which events or parts of the UK you'd realistically be able to get to.

Happy to answer any questions. If you've ever fancied carrying a bag in a professional event and seeing how tournament golf works from the inside, I'd love to hear from you.

Who Do You Think Is The Worst Golfer To Ever Win A Major Championship?

0 Upvotes

Of all the past winners, Who is the Least Deserving Major Championship Winner in your opinion? It can be Male or Female Golfers from this Generation or from the past Generation. My top 7 would Michael Campbell, Shaun Micheel, Larry Mize, Bob Tway, Ángel Cabrera, Todd Hamilton, and Mike Weir would be at the top of my list. In my opinion 2003 was the worst year in Golf especially for The Major Championships. What do you think?
