This is a huge deal! I don't think Nebraska has ever had a player in the finals of the US Junior Am. Johnny Goodman won the US Am, which is a bigger deal, but he never got to play in the Junior Am.

Goodman was the last amatuer to win the US open. It’s actually amazing how good he was and from Omaha. Big win for Trevor though. The list of exemptions for anyone, let alone a kid going into his senior year of high school, is pretty wild. It will be fun to try and catch him play some of the US Open next year.

How’s the course? Decent? Was thinking of calling up and requesting a tee time.

I’d like to hear about it if you don’t mind

I believe I got an 8 or 9 on a par 4. Threw a club. Let me know if you require more detail

Greens are the speed and firmness of my garage floor, which I think is awesome.

Some guy in a group golf trip text who HBD and I don’t know was saying he was gonna try and call them up and see if they’d doing reciprocals with his podunk NW Arkansas course. Said he might see if his pro would call them up.

I have a 5 wood at the bottom of the Missouri from course in Springfield SD. Boring course really but gorgeous views

Sometimes after you yeet a club into a river you just need to take a moment to take in the landscape. Beautiful.

+/- 40 putts?

The putting wasn’t terrible because the greens are so pure. The hard part was the firmness. Downwind you had to factor 20-30 yards of bounce & roll out. Even with wedges.

Sounds like someone needs new wedges 😉

You're not wrong there. Try to change every two years, if not sooner. By that time grooves are about gone. I'm at the end of my second season with the three callaway jaws wedges I have.

But let me tell you, greens were US open firm by Saturday afternoon.

It is pretty crazy how short wedge's life span. Seems the shortest of all clubs, no?

And I believe it about SH's greens being US open firm. They've never been *that* quick when I've been there, but as weird as it sounds, you felt like they had the potential to be much quicker and firmer. More than other places.

Wedges are the only clubs I won't buy used. Have to have fresh, new, sharp grooves.

SH has such great sandy turf they can get it basically as firm as they want it. I don't think they can make the greens crazy fast due to the slopiness and the wind blowing 15+ every day.

Kyle does a great job presenting one of the best surfaces in America. He could have any job he wants at this point, SH is very lucky to have him.

 

[lee_carvallo_12]

Have you tried the DG spinner wedge shaft?

I’ve been looking at new wedges and see that as a shaft option. Worth it?

You mean all this time I coulda been blaming dull wedge grooves for my crappy short game?
