Why do I still play golf?
Because for 2 hours I can leave cancer and all my bullshit back in the parking lot with my other shoes.

I don't care about Jon Rahm or rolling back the golf ball.
I like walking outside, hitting slingy draws, and listening to Steely Dan with a Yeti full of Dr Pepper in my cup holder.
Real golf won't change one bit.
@DCheverere
My kid takes Latin at school. I asked him if they've studied the legend of the great mythic hero Bophades in school yet.
Like a fart in the bathtub, it'll never be not funny.
You put me in the hospital. You scared my wife and kids. You've threatened my future. You've stolen my peace of mind.
I might not hit it as far and can't manage walking the course (yet) but I'm here.
Fuck you, cancer. You don't get golf, too.

The same folks that are brave enough not to wear a mask at Target but can’t drive to Target without a handgun, happily disenfranchise anyone brown , and somehow don’t care about Jan 6 suddenly care about human rights on the other side of the world. Cool story.
@dylan_dethier
That golf Twitter is so bent out of shape about $5 for ESPN+ , but is probably going to hit a whole sleeve of ProV’s into the drink this weekend.
@RightWingCope
We really need to start a service where a regular dude just hangs out with these chodes for a weekend to them how to tie a fishing knot, throw a curveball, hold open a door, back up a trailer, etc. They clearly need decent male role models.
It wasn't the nausea from chemo that derailed my goal of walking 18 today. I just couldn't stomach watching one more effing practice swing from the Strata toting douchebags ahead that had a truly remarkable disregard for pace. Two hours through 6.

I’m a nurse working in a pediatric cardiac ICU several states above you guys tonight and rocking the 88 for you guys. Glad to see him doing well so quickly.

A sincere thanks to

Beyond words. I'm so grateful to have these men in my life. Thank you Mike and Eli for the gift you've given us over the years. I'll never be able to repay my debt.

Thinking I was in for a night at the ballpark with my wife and kids and 13 of your online golf buddies have conspired to surprise you at the yard. There are no words.
Golf is undefeated.
It's good to be loved.

Fighting terminal cancer is hard enough without dealing with New Year's bullshit from my insurance company.
25 years as an ICU nurse and I have to suffer the indignity of the bureaucracy when it's my turn in the barrel.
I'm still gonna kill this thing.

Little over a month ago I was choking on tomato soup from this asshole tumor around my esophagus.
Today I crushed this bad boy with my sons. I'm not out of the woods yet but I'm happy for the little things.

When your favorite golf podcast and all your internet golf friends play an event at your old college golf course, convincing the marching band to come out and play for the boys is the only move.
@chasingscratch0
Easy chemo day.
Had her empty for an hour and stayed after they pulled the pins.
The ball was ripping off the wedge and the nippers had teeth so make your own pin and watch a sunset.
I'm grateful to still find joy in the game wherever I can.

Why does a "billionaire" need to write off 130K? That's the question everyone should ask, right?
Isn't that just pocket change for a real baller?

@MyGolfSpy
The dinner scene where they're all lobbying their buddy wasn't a good look. The phone calls were somehow worse.
@Keegan_Bradley
showed real class throughout the whole thing.
Played my first whole 18 since being diagnosed (albeit with a cart today). Monster number. No speed. Body not cooperating 2 days out from chemo.
Still happy to be out and the pork missile at the turn was sublime.
Time for a Masters nap.
Managed a few holes before my hands called it quits. Still a bit too cold for the new me. (Damn Oxaliplatin)
Still....I found something awfully compressy with the irons. Happy to be out.
#fuckcancer
The kill shot.
My golf cult is far superior than yours and it's not even close.
This thing is super dope.
Again, I don't even know how to react to the kindness and generosity.

“The Carl” is now in the wild. I handed him off to

Just randomly got the 3 iron from my first set of clubs in the mail.
The

bump is real.
Can't wait to rattle loose a tooth hitting piss missile stingers with this bad boy.
Thankful for my
#velcren
family. My cup stays full.
This is my homie Ono. He’s 73, Japanese, plays old Mizzys, and loves to talk baseball.
Pokes it 175 on a string and gets moving. Got in 9 in 1:40 today. Best playing partner ever.
In a world of back tee heroes, be an Ono.
I don't think anyone has ever had as much fun playing 3 holes in 45 degrees than I just did.
Thank you to my
#velcren
family. I'm beyond grateful for you guys.

I like to think of myself as the kind of guy that would give you a kidney and today is my chance to prove it.
Instead of VI3 it's the Living Donor Program at Duke.
Have fun, play well, and swipe me some swag. Next year, boys.

I wonder if I show up with 500 pages of plays I downloaded off the internet and some Madden 21 game tape if QAaron will let me run his offense. Same reasoning.
Only made it 7 holes again today. Kick in wedge on the last at last made me feel somewhat like a golfer. It is frustrating but I'm still thankful to get out.
Hit it. Find it. Hit it again. Try again tomorrow.

This is “The Carl”. I’ll be taking this head over to NC in a few weeks for golf then he’ll go to a random member of The Velcren who will then play a round and pass him along. Carl will see the world and spread the gospel of the hammering nails.

I'm nowhere near close to ringing that cancer bell yet but I sure as shit can rock the hell out of the one at Arby's.

Suffering some serious work burnout and I'm pretty cooked.
Removing social media from my life for a week or so to get centered.
Catch y'all in week or so.
Hit em straight, fellas.
The CEO and I are in clinic for chemo and rocking new "Kill Tim" bracelets from Brady Shark.
Receiving a Brady bracelet is one of the highest honors of our tribe.

After getting over myself and allowing my care team to address pain management I've finally felt like swinging a club after a rough couple of weeks. Vintage set, no putter, rainy day, empty back 9, Moe. on the earbuds.
Heaven.

You can’t reason with those people, dude. The same people that are against the reproductive rights of women are actively protecting the reproductive rights of the Cornavirus. At this point, keep your head down and protect you and yours. They’re a lost cause.
Shooting a low score is cool.
Hitting a spinny nipper is cool.
Bombs are cool, too.
However, your sons bringing down their clubs to pack in the car before a trip might just be the best feeling in golf.

So they only have a few rounds left in the Late Summer Run and then a bunch of old guys are going to Shelby to watch them play River Bend.
Do you like Rocky movies, Vertical Horizon, and Seinfeld quotes?

I have a few of these left in the stash if you think Craigers would like one and/or I'd be honored to make him a headcover.
