  Outlaw Tour 2020 Scores

  Posted on December 1, 2020 by Grant in My Journey, Tournament Recap.

  Over the last couple months I have had the opportunity to play 4 tournaments on the Outlaw Tour. The main take-away for me from these events is that I have all the tools, but I need to be more instinctive on the course. To improve my scoring and consistency I need to be playing more […]

  Tournament Recap: 2020 Oklahoma Open

  Posted on September 1, 2020 by Grant in My Journey, Tournament Recap.

  Overview: The East Course at Oak Tree Country Club is a Pete Dye design with narrow fairways, quite a few water hazards and tricky greens. It was in great shape for the tournament and the weather was really nice. I ended up missing the cut by 1 shot, but it was a very positive experience. I […]

  Tournament Recap: Scottsdale Open at Talking Stick GC

  Posted on June 7, 2020 by Grant in My Journey, Tournament Recap.

  Overview: Talking Stick is a relatively long course with only two par 5’s. It’s interesting because there are a few holes that have an out-of-bounds fence running along the left side of the fairway. The fairways and greens are very firm, and all of the grass besides the greens is mowed at fairway height. So there […]

  Scottsdale AZ Open: Talking Stick GC

  Posted on June 4, 2019 by Grant in My Journey, Tournament Recap.

  Overview: Talking Stick is a great course with tricky greens with subtle breaks and lots of grain on the greens. I was glad for the experience I gained, but I missed the cut. The first day I started on #1 and played pretty solid except for missing a few short putts on the front nine. […]

  Pepsi Tour: Talking Stick GC, Scottsdale, AZ

  Posted on June 4, 2019 by Grant in My Journey, Tournament Recap.

  Overview: It was a nice day with about 75 degree temperature and 15 mph wind. The course is a desert course with only two par 5’s. Highlights: #2. Driver down the left side of the fairway. Then 6-iron to just short of the green and then almost chipped it in for an easy tap-in birdie […]
