Let’s start with Dan Latoria: Please share your background and your personal golfing journey. I grew up in Spring Hill, Florida, approximately one-thousand yards from Spring Hill Country Club. My golfing journey was inspired by my father as he would hit balls on the driving range in the early evenings. I played Junior golf, then attended Brevard Community College (now Eastern Florida State College), which was a golf factory at the time, having had fourteen student/athletes compete on the PGA ... continue reading...
Orange Whip Golf
I had heard a rumor that the founder/developer of Orange Whip Golf (www.orangewhipgolf.com) spent time at Southern Woods Golf Club in Homosassa, Florida and as I walked past you on the range at Southern Woods, I noticed your Orange Whip Trainer, your Orange Whip golf bag, your Orange Whip golf shirt and your Orange Whip hat. Making an enormous leap of faith, I brilliantly deduced that you may somehow be connected to the organization, so I stopped and introduced myself. Since that ... continue reading...
What’s In My Bag – No Excuses!
A few weeks ago I shared, somewhat tongue and cheek, “What’s in My Black Eddie Bauer Grounds Crew Bag,” attempting to mimic Golf magazine’s monthly feature “What’s in My Bag,” most recently featuring all of Ian Poulter’s stuff! So, now it is time to share the contents of my stuff in my black Sun Mountain 4.5 LS Stand Golf Bag. After a four-hour custom fitting session with Club Champion, this 13.2 Handicap Indexer no longer has any excuses! Ping G410 10.5º Plus Driver with a Drago 55 S Shaft ... continue reading...
Relative Anonymity
Bad Golf Guy has been sharing weekly stories for the past two and a half years. Our objective is to entertain family, friends and our loyal followers with mostly self-deprecating nonsense that is somewhat relatable to our vast golfing community. Toiling in relative anonymity, things changed dramatically a few Sunday’s ago. Hanging out at one of our favorite pubs in Inverness, Florida, The Side Bar (formerly known as The Tipsy Turtle), Brain and Randy hunkered down on the adjacent bar stools. ... continue reading...
Dees Am Some Strange Times
There is nothing quite like a little world-wide pandemic to flush out the particulars of my social life, which includes such activities as hanging out with my wife, our family, our friends, playing golf, watching sports and drinking beer. My adult pastimes have been significantly influenced by childhood experiences, such as watching my parents and their neighbors hoot it up at our kitchen table; consuming such delicacies as pickled pigs feet/pigs knuckles/herring and limburger cheese, visiting ... continue reading...
The Loop at Forest Dunes
While researching Bad Golf Guy’s Top 50 Golf Course Names (“Old Fiddlesticks”), I was intrigued when I stumbled upon the name of a course in Roscommon, Michigan called the The Loop, which opened in 2016. The Loop was designed by Tom Doak, a familiar name, as Doak designed two courses (the Old Course and the North Course) at Stonewall, in Elverson, PA. I have been fortunate to play Stonewall on numerous occasions, hosted by our good friends (Joe and Shelby) who have been members for years. ... continue reading...
Old Fiddlesticks
Recently, I was visiting with my brother, sharing a few Smithwick’s after a marginal round of golf. During our conversation, John mentioned a course in Fort Myers, Florida named Fiddlesticks Country Club. I chuckled, reflected for a moment and commented that “Fiddlesticks Country Club” is an amazing name for a golf course! Our conversation got me thinking about other great golf course names within the United States. After spending the better part of a day reviewing a sampling of the names of ... continue reading...
