🫡 J.T. Poston at the 3M Open

Posted July 31, 2023

Now I’m no golf professional, but I still can’t believe that Poston went for the hero shot on the final hole of the 3M Open yesterday, down three shots to winner Lee Hodges (who had already safely laid up 115 yards out). Poston after the round on Twitter:

Not out here to finish 2nd. Trying to win. Would make that decision 10 times out of 10 under circumstances

That decision cost him $260K – solo second would’ve paid $850K, but the three-way tie for second gave each player $590K.

So unless I’m missing something, he was betting that he could make eagle and that Hodges would put it in the water from 115 yards *plus* not be able to get up and down to force a playoff? 🤔

Summer Saturday @ Inver Wood

Just a beautiful day in Inver Grove Heights. Played well from the white tees, saw some scary giant black wasps and encountered more stupid slow play

It’s really hard to cheer for someone wearing a “MegaCorp” hat who also takes a million “waggles” before every single shot – hit the damn ball already, my dude

🫡 Bill Holst: Farming, Caviar & Golf

Posted July 17, 2023

This Forbes story on Bill Holst is fascinating. I was already impressed with his accumulation of golf courses (Gopher Hills, Red Wing, Clifton Highlands, Lake City and Troy Burne), but never knew about the caviar.

Would love to see more local reporting with stories like this…

🫡 Women’s Open @ Pebble Beach

Posted July 8, 2023

Second round leader Bailey Tardy qualified at Somerset Country Club in Mendota Heights, winning a four-hole playoff against Jennifer Chang of North Carolina back on May 22 (after Chang three-putted on the 18th in regulation). Medalist at Somerset was Amy Olson of Fargo, who missed the cut this weekend in California, shooting 79-77-156 (two shots in front of Michele Wie West and three better than Annika Sorenstam).
