Congrats! What an awesome story. Welcome to Raleigh too!

 

When I'm down we should get up and play!

 

Great story! Let me know if you'd be interested in playing Old York...I'm a member. Old York is really close, maybe 10 min drive from Ft. Dix North entrance to base.

I was already a Rory fan, but this makes me an even bigger fan. I am always rooting for the good guys on tour. Very awesome to have them invite you to stay the entire round/ remainder for the round. Glad to see it was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for your service!

Great read. Did you talk at all about how often they test new shafts against their gamer and what that process might be like? Seems they have free reign and aren't limited to specific manufacturers for those.

 

Also, did the players or caddies provide any insight or feelings on lasers being used in tournament play?

 

Edit: Forgot to ask if you guys talked about GolfWRX at all (or any other forum or media that they follow)

Thank you for your service

 

Also for that picture

 

That should end the debate about how tall Rory is if you are 5 11

 

 

Yeah, I was very surprised - small guy and he just bombs the ball.

Still looks 5'-9" or 5'-8" at least if you're 11".

 

Yeah didn't mean anything negative - and I was standing in the rough as well. I was just surprised he's able to hit it the way he does - just goes to show you it's more about positions and sequence and not body type.

I didn't think you did at all! I was stating I was surprised because some make it out to be like he's 5'5" or something ridiculous. So if 5-11", he's taller than I thought!

What a great read! Thank You for sharing- Super cool for Rory to record that message for your wife. And great insights on Rory's game (wedge spin, importance of release, etc.).

I can't wait to read the hole by hole!

Great story! It certainly seems like this generation of pro golfers is much nicer as a whole than generations past. I wonder why?

Amazing post, easily the best I've ever read on here! (Sorry everyone who's gone to The Oven). That said, I know you touched on Nike, did Rory say anything about the rzn ball he was playing? Or about the engage wedges?
