[oldhamer25]

Congrats to Stratton for his tied for 9th at the Erin Hills tournament. He played as an individual and out played three of the five, the Pokes put in for their team. Keep it up Stratton.

[oldhamer25]

Update from Erin Hills Intercollegiate Tournament. On the last day, Stratton shot -3 and moved into a tie for 4th. Hopefully this helps his chances of being in the 5 picked to play in the next tournament.

Great work and good luck to Stratton.

I wish Stratton luck. Hopefully the injury is behind him and his best golf is in front of him.

[Beastmode Broker]

It has been FOREVER since I have posted. I have been incredibly busy with work and our system regulates what sites we can visit and makes sure they are work related. :) It was good getting to see Stratton in action this last weekend in the Maxwell. He opened with a 66 and the second 18 of the day shot 71 struggling on his last hole. Rain was imminent the final day and he was in second place going into his last hole and the pin on a long par 3 was tucked near the right edge near a collection area that was impossible to get up and down from unless you drain a 20' putt. It was either play to the middle of the green and finish second or go for it and try to tie for the win. He went for it and his shot bled off the right edge leaving a chip that even well played left him 20+ feet away. Bogey 4 left him in a tie for 4th instead of tied for second. Still, great play on a day at Dornick Hills as He led all of the Cowboys in scoring on this brutally windy day. Hopefully this will give him the nod to play in the Big 12 Championship the end of next week.

His bag still is is combo set of S59's, Same driver but I did customize a new set of TVD wedges last week. Here are the wedges I did for him:

 

I used his trademark orange ferrules with two black and one white stripes with KBS Tour wedge shafts

 

Since I last posted, Dave @ MACHINE built Stratton a new custom flatstick to the specs he wanted. Stratton wanted his same putter M11 head but wanted a anodized insert and wanted a third alignment line added. The putter is STUNNING as usual from Dave Billings

Those wedges! You must run a machine shop alongside your golf shop alongside your car shop alongside your gun shop . . .! :)

Breck,

Nice to see a post from you. Beautiful work on the wedges. Hope you and the family are well and much continued success to Stratton.

Best wishes,

Mitch

[Beastmode Broker]

Great to hear from you DS, glad all is well

Wedges and putter look incredible wow!

[Togatown22]

Thanks for posting DS; great to hear the update and see some new stuff. Those wedges are amazing!

[oldhamer25]

Great to hear from you again DS. Been following Stratton through the Cowboys website the best I could. Good to hear he played well at the Maxwell. Putter looks great and wedges are insane.

[Deerslayer]

Thanks. When Stratton is home for the summer we will do another formal WITB photo shoot. I had ACL replacement surgery the end of January but my knee is doing great. I think I will be able to loop in at least a few of his events. Don't think I am ready to do 36 in one day but I can handle 18.

It has been cool as a father watching how things turn out. Stratton set a goal as a little kid to play for Oklahoma State and HE did what he had to do to make that dream a reality. Along the way, he competed and became friends with juniors that had the same dream as he did. Brendon Jelley and Stratton battled it out back in '08 in the Texas Oklahoma Junior Golf Championship against each other though both talked about some day playing together @ oSu. This weekend it will be cool to watch these two battle together in the Big 12 Golf Championship. Where has time gone?

Repp'n back in the day:

[Beastmode Broker]

its been just as fun watching from this side DS, thanks for sharing w us

[oldhamer25]

I take it by your comment that Stratton will be one of the 5 going for the Big 12 tourny? Best of luck to him. Go Pokes!!

[Deerslayer]

GO POKES!

[sbjinx]

Dang. They have their own private jet

[pingman33]

Got to meet Stratton last week at Karsten Creek. What a great kid! I coach a girls golf team at one of the largest high schools in the state of Oklahoma and we had a tournament in Stillwater. After our tournament we stopped by Karsten Creek to show the team what a real golf course looked like! I go to visit the pro shop and they wanted to go to see if Stratton was there! I have followed this thread over the years, best one on golf wrx, and being a oSu alum my team knows all about Stillwater and Karsten Creek, (even named my two sons, Joe after Eskimo Joe's and Karsten after Karsten CreeK) They were so excitied when we pulled up in the parking lot cause they saw Stratton's mustang and knew he was there somewhere! Stratton took the time to meet, visit, and take pictures with all the girls on the team. He really made their day!!!!

Wow; that's amazing! Good on Stratton, sounds like a great young man. Congrats DS!

[scratchswinger]

Amazing stuff... What is he currently playing?

[Mtngolfer1]

This has easily been my favorite thread to follow. Stratton is such a quality young man it's a pleasure to hear of his success.

 

The Pairings are released for tomorrow OSU Stratton Nolen vs TX Taylor Funk.

 

I know myself and allot of folks on WRX will be pulling for Stratton.

[bigeasy]

Congratulations to Stratton on making the trip to the conference championship, without a doubt, he has worked hard to get there and hope he has a great tournament.
