I had my doubts about #golfsixes until I read @NickDougherty5 comments about it. Wasn’t seeing the bigger picture. Great read Nick

@NickDougherty5 @theclub @sebcbrown4 @RamsayGolf @GolfSixes @CenturionClub Nick I agree, but also think big manufacturers need to make it more affordable for new starters, as well as golf courses.

@NickDougherty5 @beemerpga agree with most things Nick, but cant help to think it all felt a bit gimmicky? #golfsixes

I really enjoyed the #golfsixes. With a few tweaks here and there we’re definitely onto something. About time golf changed it up a bit ??

PGA Tour at the Kentucky Derby
Many of the PGA Tour’s best players have been enjoying themselves at the Kentucky Derby. Keep your eyes peeled for an outrageous outfit…
The less said about Rickie Fowler’s outfit the better…
