Almost a year ago my buddy convinced me to join the Golf Channel Am Tour. Being a recreational player, for the most part, the Am Tour presented a new level of competitive golf for me that I had never experienced. I am now addicted! In my 11th event during the 2019 season, I won! Going into the back nine I found myself a little deflated after a bogey on 10 but then followed it up with 3 birdies in a row! This was a very special and first win for me that I will never forget, it was played on a private Jack Nicklaus course. Perfect conditions. I have always trusted Golf Pride products, and will never change the grip set up I won with!

77 off black tees at Moraga CC. My first sub-80 round. Working hard over the summer to swing on a single plane. Finally paying off.

Playing Tobacco Road was truly a Mike Strantz masterpiece!

Made my first hole in one since 1996. 190-yard 5 iron on the 14th hole at Avila Golf & Country Club on February 17, 2020.

Made a trip to Turning Stone Resort with Golf Advisor and made a hole-in-one on a par 4. Didn’t win the tournament but I'll take this ace over a win any day.

First time playing at the home of golf St. Andrews! Not only was I able to walk on as a single at 8am but could break 80 for the first time all season. The trip of a lifetime and I’ll never forget the locals who could share their insider tips.

Playing Kiawah Island with my best friend and his dad last year. Played three of the five courses and couldn’t have had a better time. Nothing beats golfing with friends!

Seven of us played five rounds at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs in September 2019. As expected, conditions were cool (mid 50s) with some rain, strong winds and one spectacular weather day. Despite the difficult conditions, I had no issues swinging the MCC midsize grips on my irons and woods. I’m a believer!

With a hole-in-one, an eagle and 6 birdies, I shot a course record of 59 (10-under at par-69 Longshore GC in Westport, CT). I’m a golf pro there and I wouldn't recommend any other grip then Golf Pride. Thanks for helping me reach my accomplishment!

For the first time in years, I was able to win my club championship in my flight.

A little over 2 years ago, I weighed 352 lbs. Avid golfer about a 15 handicap. Lowest round I had ever scored was an 82. I underwent a successful gastric bypass surgery and had to wait 3-4 months before I could play golf again. When I finally was able to play I had lost about 130lbs. So my friends and I decided it was time to play a round of golf. But what a lesson I had learned that day. I couldn’t hit the ball. It was crazy and I was losing my mind. So I started working with Fran James and she helped me get started on the path to breaking 80. A couple more months go by and I lose another 35 lbs, down to 165 lbs. I got fitted for all new clubs and was now taking lessons with Chip Lynn. All of this leads up to the tournament that I wanted to place in last year. Two days before the tournament my buddy and I played golf in the morning. I was hitting the ball perfect, I was making putts, and I just felt so good on the way to an even-par front nine. As we come up to 16 I look at the score card and realize I am 2-over for the round. At this point I start freaking out. Telling myself to calm down. I par 16 and 17 (the No. 1 handicap hole), then drained a 3-foot par putt on 18 for a 73. I couldn’t believe it. Hard work pays off and the grind to single digit handicap continues.

We defended an end-of-season trophy against our neighbouring club by winning our foursomes match and closing the season as an undefeated pairing.

Two holes-in-one in the same year. Both on the same hole, and same pin location (different tee boxes, 10 yards apart).

On our honeymoon in Kauai, my wife and I played the Princeville Makai golf course. I had my first (and still only) hole-in-one on the par-3, 153-yard 3rd hole. 9 iron with MCC grip.

Won the 2019 South Carolina Open.

Had a hole-in-one on the 12th hole at Royal Dornoch's Struie course with a 4-iron from 214 yards.

We held our 1st annual Golfapalooza tournament in Arizona and even though considered the underdog, I won the 5 round event. I primarily play the CP2 Pro grips but it was the TOUR SNSR Straight that set me apart from everyone else!

I just recently earned my first tournament win! I’ve been using Golf Pride grips now for 3 of the 4 years I’ve been playing golf. I would never consider playing with any other grip at this point.

Won my club championship after putting on a fresh set of ZGRIP Cord. I still swear to that being the reason I won. Gave me confidence beyond all belief and that to me is the most important thing in golf!

For the first time in years, I was able to win my club championship in my flight.

2nd hole-in-one in 13 months. 4th career total, plus one albatross.

After a lot of hard work, I finally broke through and won a junior golf tournament with a birdie on the last to secure my one stroke win.

Was able to play the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass earlier in October. It was a blessing to be able to walk the same grounds as the game's greats and try to mimic some of their shots. 17 was the only birdie I made all day and I’m alright with that.

94 yard hole-out for eagle!

Playing the Cradle at Pinehurst. 60 degree wedge on the 6th hole. One hop and in!

My first round of golf following a triple heart bypass surgery, I was playing with my son at Lewes Golf Club in Sussex and had a hole-in-one on the 6th hole. Par 3, 134 Yards uphill. I hit a 9 iron. Did not see it go in but my ball was in the bottom of the cup. I had only regripped my clubs the weekend before using the MCC

Dunked the second shot from 160 yards out in a tournament. We didn’t even realize where my ball was until we went to pull the pin and it was in the cup.

I have used Golf Pride for years, but the CP2 Wrap grips have the best feel of all that I have used. They are so comfortable and absorb any vibration very well. I was playing in our monthly scramble in September at Sound Golf Links at Albemarle Plantation, and on the par-3, 143-yard 6th hole, I used an 8 iron and hit it perfect! We got to the green, didn't see a ball, looked in the hole, and there it was – Ace No. 4 for me and I didn't see it go in ... I think the grips helped make that swing happen. Thanks Golf Pride!

Hole-in-one at Quivira Golf Club in Cabo San Lucas. Pitching wedge from 115 yards on the 14th hole – sent it past the hole and spun it back in on my way to shooting 79.

It was Sunday, June 16th, 2019 and I had honors at the Par 3, 14th Hole at the Crossings at Carlsbad since I had just drained a birdie putt on the last hole. After debating what club to hit because of a head-wind, I went with a knockdown pitching wedge from 122y and we watched it hit behind the pin and spin right back into the cup.

I got to play with my coach and 2 of my really good golf friends. It was a Pro/Junior tournament. We played really well and when my team got to the clubhouse there was a 3-way tie for first. Our team was really nervous but we ended up winning the scorecard playoff!

Made a hole-in-one at PGA West on Hole #17 – "Alcatraz." Pitching Wedge from 131 yards.

Hole-in-one on the 12th hole at the famous "Horse Shoe" par 3 at the Banks Course at Forsgate CC. This was my third ace and happened shortly after putting Golf Pride grips on my golf clubs, ending a 40-year hole-in-one drought.

Packing my own sticks at Pebble Beach and my first round ever with MCC ALIGN Grips was an unbelievable experience. Oh... Pebble Beach was awesome too!!

The pressure was on playing in the Cowboy Joe Tournament (as the team has to use every players drive twice). Not only did I rip a drive, but as the first to hit the approach shot, my ball took one hop and dunked for my first EAGLE!!!

Eagled the 6th hole at Pebble Beach this summer. My first time playing the course – everyone went crazy.

Made my first-ever par this summer playing with my dad & brother!

Played Pinehurst No. 4 after the makeover by Gil Hanse. Got to meet Bob Vokey and was fitted with a new wedge, which was fitted with a MCC PLUS4 midsize grip to match all my other clubs.

Made my first hole-in-one a few years ago, and it came two days after my 21st birthday.

This was my first round Since my bad accident where I only had 26 putts in the round. I worked and still work very hard on my putting. The TOUR SNSR putting grip is amazing. The feel it gives you back when putting is so great. You can just feel like you have control.

Aced #16 at Lincolnshire Fields CC with a smooth 6 iron.

I was part of a team that won a 5 man scramble tournament that had a sizeable number of teams. Ont top of the win, I was also able to win the longest drive prize with an absolute bomb of a drive. It was a great way to finish a fun day of golf with my friends!

I won the 91st Annual Twin City tournament held at Urbana Country Club (Urbana, IL) and Champaign Country Club (Champaign, IL) recently. This was my first win in this event. Rounds of 74-71-73 held off a very good field.

Bizzarri Golf Cup 36 Medal

I played Bethpage Black on June 7th, 2019, right after the PGA Championship and barely broke 100 (99)! Great experience with the grandstands still up and the rough really thick.

My first hole in one! 158 yards on the par-3 8th hole at Eagle Creek in Norwalk, OH. Looking for my second and always trust a Golf Pride grip.

In June 2019, I shot my age for the first time – and I beat it by 2 shots!

I have won 2 mini-tour events with Golf Pride grips so far.

Won the Georgia PGA Central Chapter Championship in 2017 using the Golf Pride ZGRIP Cord.

The #6 hole at Pinehurst No. 8 is a par 5, 584-yard S-shaped hole. Getting a par on this hole is like getting a birdie for me. Last week I birdied this hole with a 260-yard drive, 220-yard hybrid 3, a 100-yard wedge, and 12-foot breaker putt. As I lined up my putt, I told my playing partner that if I sunk this putt I would retire from golf. Well, I sunk the putt, but I'm still playing golf!

Made my 4th hole in one on February 5 of this year using my Golf Pride midsize ZGRIP w/ (2) extra wraps under the right hand. Been playing Golf Pride cords for over 45 years and will continue using them until the day I die. Best grips made!

Every summer when we would go home and visit family in Nebraska, we held the Swanson Invitational: an 18-hole round to determine who was that year's best golfer in the family. This started when we were just kids and our dads won every year, until I had had my run. A 5-year stretch where I dominated the family event — I still savor those victories.

2018 Donald Ross Classic Champions - Raleigh Country Club Member-Member. We were last place in our flight after the first two matches before fighting our way back to win the flight. We clinched the shootout win on the final playoff hole with a birdie on the 15th.

Devil's Ridge Golf Club. 14th hole. 156 yards. 8 iron. Hit 2 feet in front of hole and rolled in! Watched the whole thing. As I left the 14th green, I called the food and bev manager and ordered a keg to celebrate!

My first ever hole-in-one at Sapphire National Golf Club. Hole 11. 186 yards. 6 iron. We watched it fly toward the hole, and all of a sudden the white dot disappeared. We knew and celebrated immediately by throwing my visor like Arnold Palmer.
