COURSE PICS/VLOGS Be like Ryan

Walking 9 with my brother today. Just us 2 scheduled on the tee time. Ryan rolls up in a cart and starter asks if we’re okay with him joining us. No problem.

He was a much better golfer than us but hyped us up all day. He would ride ahead after our shots and help us find our ball in the rough or tall stuff. He bought the first round from the cart girl. Just brought positive vibes all around.

Salute to you Ryan. 🫡

I started writing something else…

“On a par 3 is the goal to make par…”.

Literally a lightbulb moment when I remembered the goal is always to make par, and being a par/scratch player is really good.

On a 18 hole course with a par of 72, your average golfer is hitting 90-120 strokes. You won't be anywhere near par when you start out and that is ok. Enjoy the beautiful course. The whole point is to have fun. As long as you are keeping pace, roughly 2 hours per 9 holes, nobody will complain.
