Fairway to Heaven - Part 1

Hi!! I’m so excited to post my first-ever Harry fic! I’ve been on 1D Tumblr since the very beginning, logged off for 5 years and now I’m back 💀 So I’ve had a lot of ideas over the years that have just lived in my head. GOLFRRY + MUSTACHRRY are my weaknesses, so this is my twist on a golf/bev cart girl + agegap fic 🤩

I’d love to hear your thoughts. I have most of the story written, so I should be able to have a consistent posting schedule. Not sure the total # of parts quite yet. I’m also happy to write additional blurbs if y’all like Harry and Briar as much as I do 🥹🐥🦊

Here is a mood board I put together. Feel free to picture Briar however you please. The mood board is just to set the vibez!

Without further ado...Enjoy!

Word count: 4.5K

Contains mature themes. Read at your own discretion. Agegaps, cursing.

Read Part 2 | Read Part 3 | Read Part 4

By the time she gets to her designated cart, she’s already fifteen minutes late; but her iced coffee is the perfect color, and her hair didn’t give her too much trouble this morning. A win is a win.

Briar Barlowe quickly dumps a bucket of ice in her cart’s side cooler as the bar back begins filling the bin with the usual suspects: Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Fireball, Tito’s, Casamigos, Ginger ale, and, of course, grape juice. She makes sure to keep her lavender cups stocked and plenty of fun straws to make everything more fun. She even decorates her tip jars to say funny jokes.

Since starting at Wynnewood Country Club, Briar has gained a bit of notoriety among the players as the girl with a bright smile and a heavy pour. This job is exactly what she needs to fill the gap between graduating college and beginning her business degree in the fall. Good money, stress-free responsibilities, and time spent in the sunshine.

Her Uncle, Patrick Barlowe, is the golf pro at Wynnewood; a local legend who was just shy of making the PGA Tour himself. He spends his days teaching lessons, running the pro shop and serving on the Board of Directors for the club. If you’re in with Patrick, you’re in with everyone.

When he heard her worries of not finding a summer job after graduation, it was a no brainer to offer her a position as a beverage cart girl. They both gaze out over the course from a table under the gazebo on the top deck of the club’s restaurant.

“That job sounds a little sexist, Uncle Patrick,” Briar sneers. All she can picture is driving around in a little dress and a visor like Malibu Barbie, answering the male members’ every beck and call.

The club is gorgeous; first built in 1914, and the architecture reflects it. It has two golf courses, 4 tennis courts, a pool, and deluxe spa. The member fees skyrocket each year, upping the amenities and overall snootiness of the members.

“The money is good and the members are pretty harmless. From the way you’ve swindled me into throwing teddy bear tea parties, I think you’ll do just fine on the sales aspect.”

“Fine. When do I start?”

Patrick leans back in his seat, “I’ll call Dominic in the morning.”

With that, they finish their drinks and appetizers just as the sun sets.

Walking out to her car, she sees a black Range Rover pull under the carport. The boys at the valet stand are already bickering over who gets to drive this one.

Based on the surrounding town, the level of pretentiousness at the club never surprises Briar. The yearly member fee for the club can cover 2 years’ worth of her business school tuition alone. She shakes her head and jumps into her hand-me down Jeep to head back to her apartment, paying no mind to the man entering the front door of the club.

Her shift this morning started out in the frigid cold, forcing her to change outfits later in the day as the sun came out. She’s sporting her black athletic skort and a racerback tank top. She opts to leave her hair down and sport her black and white Nike trailblazers to keep the look casual.

With a few weeks’ worth of shifts under her belt, she’s learned the ways of the club and fallen into a good rhythm. On any given weekend day, she has to head to the clubhouse to restock twice before 12PM. Today is not one of those days.

As temperature warms up, the course begins to fill up. In the last hour of her shift, she’s left with only a few beers and a few shots worth of Tito’s. Her tip jar is a little emptier than usual, but the pun on her sign got a few chuckles. She sets up shop on the 17th hole and snaps a few photos of the sunset.

“I shot one under today. One under a tree, one under a bush, and one under the water.”

Briar jumps at the voice behind her. Is that an Irish accent? She leans to peer over the side of her cart. She sees a man, older than her, donning a light blue polo with dark blue pants and a white hat, reading the joke on her jar.

“Clever, isn’t it?” She smiles kindly at him.

“Hilarious. It’s like ya been watching my game today,” he laughs. He moves closer to where she’s standing.

“Can I get you anything? I’ll be honest, I’m mostly wiped out.”

He peers down at the contents of the cooler. “I’ll take that last Mich Ultra. Do you have any Casamigos left? My mate is a little picky.”

“No Casamigos,” she says with a slight frown. “I’ll try to keep my drinking to a minimum next time and save you some.”

He lets out a loud laugh and squeezes his eyes shut. “Alright, just this then. He’ll have to deal with it.”

“I can offer you some Peanut M&M’s for your troubles,” she says, pulling out her iPad to ring in the order. “Do you have an account with the club, or do you want to pay cash?”

“The account is under Niall Horan,” he says, putting a $20 bill in the jar. “Thanks for the M&M’s, darlin’.”

“I’m Briar. It was nice meeting you, Niall. Thank you!” She beams. He smiles and starts heading back to the path toward the clubhouse.

After cleaning her cart and counting her money, Briar finishes the day drinking a mojito at the bar, while Cam, her new friend at the club, is working her bar shift.

“How was it out there today, babe?” Cam asks.

“Slow at first, but it definitely picked up. I couldn’t even head back for a restock. Luckily, the members I got at the very end weren’t picky.”

“Oh! Did you see Niall?” she asks as she puts glassware in the dishwasher.

“Yeah,” Briar furrows her brows. “How did you know?”

“I used to serve him on the front course all the time. Now that I’m too old and wretched to work out on the course, he’ll visit me in here sometimes. He mentioned playing the back course with a friend today.”

Briar is always assigned to the back course. There are only minor differences in difficulty, but she finds the back course to be a little more calm and serious. They’re also a little more generous with their tips. She’s not sure if her assignment has something to do with her uncle’s knowledge of the club’s inner workings.

“He is really nice, and generous. I didn’t get to meet the friend, though. Did you?”

“Yes, he was a little more reserved. But Niall is a riot, so he makes anyone look calm. I didn’t catch his name.”

Briar hums and stirs her mojito around as she stifles a yawn. “Well, I’ve been here since 7:30 this morning, so I am ready to goooo,” she drags out her last word. She waves bye to Cam and begins the trek to the employee parking lot.

As she’s walking, she gazes up to the upper deck of the restaurant where she can just barely make out Niall standing by the railing. He’s talking animatedly and waving his beer bottle around.

A bit off to the right, peering down at her, is a tall, striking man with dark features wearing a white button down and a sport coat. The top two buttons are undone just enough to see his collarbones.

The club has a strict dress code for the restaurant. Briar often does a double take when she sees members out of their golf clothes. She wonders if he’s even allowed to show that much skin.

Shrugging it off, she continues toward her car, but not without looking back at the man. He’s still looking at her, curiously, taking a sip of his drink and turning away not long after she looks up.

She can’t help but get this strange feeling, almost as if the hairs on the back of her neck are standing straight up.

As the summer starts to heat up, so do her shifts at the course. By the end of them, Briar’s hair is sticking out sideways and her make up is smeared down her face. She bought a miniature fan that clips right to the visor of her cart to keep her cool throughout the day.

It’s just past 8:30 in the morning on Tuesday when she hears a familiar voice on the 8th hole. She squints and sees Niall, along with the dark haired man from the other night. There are a few guys she doesn’t recognize standing with them.

She maneuvers her cart through the winding path, closer to where the men are.

“There’s the beer angel!” Niall shouts. She smiles and shakes her head. He comes jogging over. “I hope you’re fully stocked this morning.”

“Yep, I am! I even have a few breakfast sandwiches, if you’re interested.”

His eyes light up as she pulls out a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel from the warming drawer. Chef Lambo, the executive chef of the club, made them especially for Briar’s customers.

“Yesss. I’ll take one of those, a Mich Ultra, two Transfusions, and — H! What do you want?” He yells, partially turning to face his friend in the distance.

She faintly hears, “Casamigos!”

“And a Casamigos on the rocks, with a lime,” he finishes. It takes her only a few minutes to make the cocktails.

“Do you want these on your account?” Briar asks Niall.

He takes a huge bite of the bagel and mumbles, “No, you can put it all on my mate’s. Last name is Styles.”

Styles, or, “H” as Niall called him. The mystery man’s Last name is Styles. And, he’s a member here.

“Got it. Well, good luck today.”

“Thanks, we’ll need it. We’re trying to close a work deal with the two guys we’re playing with. Hey, don’t be afraid to swing by us multiple times. We can use all the schmoozing we can get,” he smiles.

“I think I can do that. Let me know if you need help, I’m told I’m very persuasive,” she smiles as she takes the emergency brake off of her cart. He throws another $20 in her jar and then waves, nearly dropping all of the items in his hands.

Niall returns to his group, handing out their drinks. Briar continues to watch before pulling away. H steps out from behind Niall, slightly lifting his cup — his lavender cup — towards her, as a thank you. His facial expression is stoic, watching her carefully.

She smiles to herself and drives off. The rest of the shift goes by in a blur. She swings by Niall and H’s group a few times. Each time, Niall greets her to grab more drinks and snacks.

Is that on purpose? If the drinks are on H’s account, why isn’t he coming over? She’d like to get a closer look at him. She chews on the inside of her lip and continues on with her closing duties. She loves the morning shift; in early, out early.

After parking her cart in the garage, she can see her uncle in the pro shop, glasses on the tip of his nose, peering down at something. She lightly knocks on the door and pushes it open.

“Hey, Briar bear,” he says, looking up at her. “How was your day?”

Briar sighs at her childhood nickname, plopping down on the couch by the practice putting green. Members can test out clubs before purchasing them in the pro shop, making it an optimal spot to hang out and mess around with all of the clubs.

“It was good, I just have to get used to waking up this early again. And I already know you’re going to say, ‘welcome to the real world, kid’, so just stop there,” she says sassily.

Patrick chuckles and focuses back on with his paperwork. They’re quiet for a few moments.

“What’re working on, anyway?” she asks, craning her neck to see what he’s doing.

“Just some budget sheets, and making a list of members who haven’t had a lesson from their amazing in-house golf pro,” he says, punching numbers into his phone calculator.

“They get a free lesson from you?”

“Yes, when they join. But now, to keep up member retention, we’re going to offer sessions to members who have been here for 5 years or more,” he scratches his temple. “Most of ‘em don’t need it, but I feel they always leave with a new drill to practice and some sage advice from yours truly.”

“That’s cool,” she replies absently.

“Wanna help?” Patrick asks her. She nods silently and takes a seat beside him. She sees a list of last names, first initial and an “X” next to their name if they’ve taken a lesson.

She notices an X next to “Horan, N.” but not “Styles, H”. Interesting.

Briar continues to audit the two lists, until she hears her uncle clear his throat.

“Hey, are you going to hang here for a bit? I need to run back into the main clubhouse for a few minutes.”

Patrick runs the pro shop solo during the day, until a high school or college kid can come in in the afternoon.

“Yeah, I’ll hang here. What do I do if someone needs something?”

“Then you can entertain them with your dazzling personality until I get back,” he teases, sticking his tongue out. “Alright, I’ll be back.”

“‘kay,” she says, walking back to her original spot on the sofa, laying her head back on the edge.

Her eyes are shut, only for a minute, until a brilliant idea pops in her head. She rises off the sofa and saunters over to the computer her uncle was just working on.

The employee portal is logged in under Patrick’s account. Briar doesn’t know much about it, aside from using it to clock in and clock out. It’s still on the member screen, an area she’s 100% sure she doesn’t have access to.

She peruses the site until she finds a “Member Look-Up” tab. Briar’s intrusive thoughts win.

She slowly punches in S-T-Y-L-E-S and waits for the results to populate. 2 results found.

She clicks on the first profile. An account pulls up for a Paul Styles, and a photo of a white-haired man pops up.

Well, that’s certainly not him, Briar thinks to herself. She exits out and clicks on the next account. No profile photo opens, but the name is at the top. She bites her thumbnail in anticipation of what she’ll see.

Harry Styles. H. Niall’s mysterious friend. The tequila lover.

She starts to scroll down the page. The profile is more bare than the other man’s, but she can see the basic things about him. He’s 41, joined the club 8 years ago. He lives in another pretentious town only a few miles away.

Then, she sees a “Member Activity” tab. Out of curiosity, she clicks on it. Her eyes widen, seeing every transaction he’s ever made on his account. His “dues” each year. Holy shit.

His purchases seem pretty standard for members of Wynnewood. Mostly rounds of Casamigos on the rocks (shocking) and dinners ranging from $100-$400, with a few bills over $1,000.

He joined 8 years ago, but his transactions have only begun to pick up in the last month or so. Before, his visits were sporadic at best.

Briar can’t even fathom having that sort of money to throw away. She started working at age 14 and never stopped. The only reason she gets a taste of country club life is because of her uncle.

She closes out the portal, not wanting to risk Patrick walking in while she’s snooping around. She returns to her spot on the sofa and begins playing 1010! on her phone.

She exhales and tosses her phone to the side. As she sits up, Patrick reenters the pro shop.

“Thanks, Bri. Heading home soon?”

“Yeah, I gotta get back home for Gus,” she smiles, thinking about her dog. Her baby.

“Alright, I’ll catch you later. Say hello to my buddy for me. And give him a butt scratch — Tell him it’s from Uncle Patty.”

“Will do. See ya.”

When she’s showered and comfy at home, with Gus, her Bernese Mountain Dog, snuggled at her side, she finally feels relaxed.

She’s worked nearly every day since she started. But, those are the sacrifices of a summer job.

She turns on Selling Sunset on Netflix to drown out the silence of her apartment. Already bored of this season, she pulls out her phone.

One last round of stalking, then she’ll let it go. She opens Instagram and begins typing in Harry’s name in the search bar. Nothing. Hm.

She tries Niall, immediately getting a hit. She clicks on his account to find it public, full of funny and happy photos. He’s clearly from Ireland, but has lived in the United States for some time. She wonders if he went to school here, or if he just got a job here.

She scrolls down to a group photo — on the golf course, of course — of Niall, Harry, and a few other guys. They look a lot younger here. She can see the photo is from 7 years ago. Harry’s stoic face is a stark contrast to Niall’s infectious smile. She clicks on the photo to see if Harry’s profile is tagged. Nothing.

Defeated, she moves onto LinkedIn. She tries Harry’s name again. Within 10 seconds of the search engine results popping up on the screen, her eyes land on exactly what she’s looking for. He has a profile. Her heart starts beating a little faster.

Really, Briar? All this for a guy you’ve barely caught a glimpse of? She clicks on the profile and sees the most gorgeous man at the top. He looked good from afar, but this is totally different.

Sticking out to her is his chiseled jaw, pouty lips, and beautiful (green?) eyes. His hair is longer in this photo than what she’s seen him with the past 2 times at the club, but she figures this page is old.

She scrolls down to the employment history. He works for a hedge fund. No wonder he has that kind of cash laying around. He’s been at the same company for a number of years, and received his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown and his MBA from the University of Pennsylvania. Smart dude.

She notes his MBA graduation year is 2006. She laughs, knowing she was probably still playing on a playground that year.

She exits out of the page, proud of her findings. She decides to text Cam about Niall’s friend.

B: Hey! So I totally stalked Niall online. His friend’s name is Harry! 😆

C: So funny, how’d u do it? 😂

B: Instagram for Niall, and earlier, I used Wynnewood’s portal to look up Harry. I just went on his LinkedIn, too. Now, I know all about his work and schooling, lol.

C: Your account is private, right? 😳

C: It notifies people if you’ve looked at their profile unless you’re private…

B: What?! I didn’t know that…WTF do I do?

Briar’s stomach drops. He’s probably already gotten the notification by now. She’s mortified. She logs back on to LinkedIn and deactivates her account. Reddit says those are her best chances of counteracting the notification.

She decides to go to bed, but ends up tossing and turning until 3 AM, knowing her alarm is set for 6:30. She stares at the ceiling, pleading for Harry not to show up at the club tomorrow.

The morning comes around, and after mustering enough courage to get up and make herself presentable, she rolls into work, ready to jump on her cart and be lazy. The universe (or Uncle Patrick, probably!) has a different plan.

Since it’s a holiday weekend, Briar is working inside for a change. She feels a little out of her element. She’s worked in restaurants in the past, but it’s always a little stressful when you have know idea where anything is, or how to use the register.

Taking a moment to survey the large banquet room, she doesn’t see Niall or Harry. She begins to relax. Until, 30 minutes later, she sees both of them enter and begin talking to the hostess.

Please don’t go to my section, she thinks. She watches the girl gathers 4 menus and turns to lead the men further into the room. Briar’s worry grows more with each step the hostess takes toward her section. Fuck.

She seats them down at a 4 person table right in the middle of Briar’s section, assuming the two men from yesterday will be joining them.

She takes a few deep breaths before grabbing a water jug and two stemmed water glasses. She casually approaches the table, lightly placing the water glasses down and filling them.

Niall looks up briefly with a smile before exclaiming, “There she is! I requested you to be our server after I saw you at the coffee machine over there.”

Briar smiles before turning her attention to Harry, who hasn’t glanced up from his menu. She looks back at Niall.

“Awesome! This is going to be great,” she lies through her teeth.

While this exchange is happening, she can feel Cam’s eyes burning through the back of her head. Cam is the service bartender of the day, so she has time to people watch and laugh at Briar’s bad luck.

“Are we waiting for any more guests to join us?” Briar asks.

Niall clears his throat and says, “Yes, those two blokes from yesterday. Harry here is going to close the deal with them today.”

Harry glances up at her with a shy smile. She reciprocates, unsure if he’s aware of her cyberstalking from last night.

“Wow, well, I’ll make sure my service is extra good, then. Can I throw in some drinks while you wait?”

“I’ll have an Old Fashioned. Harry?” Niall turns to his friend.

“Casamigos on the rocks for me, please. With a lime. Thank you.”

“You got it,” she says with a tight-lipped smile. Of course that’s the very first thing he ever says to her. And he’s BRITISH?

Cam laughs as the ticket prints at the bar.

“Oh, shut up,” Briar grumbles.

The other men finally arrive, and the meal goes by at a snail’s pace. When the group is finally ready to order, Briar is already mentally checked out. Briar goes to take Harry’s order.

“What can I get for you?”

“I’ll have the chicken, please,” he says simply.

“And how would you like that cooked?” Briar asks, furiously scribbling on her note pad.

Harry’s face contorts to a perplexed look, almost as if he was about to laugh.

“Um…cooked…all the way through?” He stifles a chuckle.

Niall bursts out laughing, cluing Briar in. She realizes the others ordered porterhouse steaks, so, out of habit, she asked how they’d like them prepared.

Her eyes go wide, “Right, well, I’ll go put these in. Thanks!” She shuffles away at lightning speed.

Harry stares at her from across the room, smirking when they make eye contact. She wants to bury her head in the sand trap on the golf course.

When the meal is done, the men shake hands, and Niall and Harry look relieved. They ask for another round of drinks for the two of them and the check. Niall heads toward the restroom while Harry pays. She tries to bolt as soon as the check is dropped, but she hears Harry clear his throat.

She turns to face him.

“We’re about to go play a quick round of 9-holes to celebrate. Are you our beer angel today, or are you stuck in here?” Harry says, as he opens his wallet.

Briar feels her heart begin to race. She’s sure her face is beet red. The word angel rolls off his tongue so easily.

“Um, no, I’m um, stuck in here for the rest of the day. I’ll be back on Sunday, though,” she says quietly.

“Shame, I was starting to think you were bringing me all of my luck. I’ve been crushing these guys in our last few rounds,” he smiles, swirling the remnants of his drink around.

She bites the inside of her lip, unsure if she should still be holding eye contact. He hands her the checkbook, full of cash. She smiles, unable to speak.

“Oh, and Briar— I’m an open book. If you wanted to know more about me, you could’ve just asked,” he says with a sickeningly sweet smile.

That’s the moment Niall returns to the table, and presumably the only reason she doesn’t drop to the floor in fetal position.

“Thanks, Briar. Lunch was great. We’ll see you next time,” Niall says sweetly.

“Thanks!” she squeaks, scurrying to the back, where she nearly mows down Cam.

“Woah! What’re you doing?” Cam squeals.

“He KNOWS!” Briar wails.

“Who? Who knows — OH!” Cam shrieks. “What did he say to you?”

“He said, ‘Briar, I’m an open book. If you wanted to know more about me, you could’ve just asked.’”

Cam’s mouth drops open. “Did he say it with his sexy accent and sultry voice?”

“Shut up!”

“Fine. Well, what did he tip you?” she asks, reaching for the book in Briar’s hand.

She opens it, finding enough cash to cover the $450 tab, and an extra $300 as a tip.

“Damn! Who has that much cash at one time?” Cam laughs.

Briar flips to the back of the book, only to find a note on a small piece of paper:

I’m an Aquarius, in case you were wondering. : - )

She stares blankly at the note. When did he have time to do this? Was he going to slip this note to her regardless? A million thoughts run through her head, until she hears Cam.

“What a creepy-ass old person smiley face,” she says, shaking her head.

Briar thinks it’s the cutest thing in the world.

Finally, her shift ends and she can escape the club, just for a day. As she heads towards the women’s locker room, she’s rummaging through her bag, attempting to fish out her street clothes so she can change as quickly as possible.

As she stalks closer to the locker room, she collides head-first into a firm, wet object. She feels strong hands grasp her hips to steady her.

“What the fuck?” she says, moving the hair out of her eyes, only to be met with a strong tattooed torso, partially covered by towel tied loosely around the person’s waist.

Her next words die in her throat as she looks up.

Harry.

Harry, who just left the steam room.

He smirks down at her, gently letting go of her waist. Suddenly, she feels hot, as if she were just in there with him. Briar’s fight or flight kicked-in, causing her to spin on her heels and flee in the opposite direction.

He senses she’d run, so he gently grabs her wrist, locking her in place. She peers up at him like a deer in headlights. His other hand is firmly planted on his hip to hold up his towel, in fear of giving the whole club a show.

He tilts her chin up so she’s making direct eye contact. Her stomach drops, sending a wave of nausea through her body. She studies his face; long eye lashes, slight stubble and two dimples that form as he smirks down at her softly.

“I told you, I’m not shy.”

He releases her chin and saunters back to the mens’ locker room.

NOLPATS BURNER ACCOUNT

SO HERE IS THE TEA AND BREAKDOWN ON NOLANS ALLEGED TWITTER BURNER (I also want to apologise for the initial hostile reply to the anon that sent it in I was just taken back cause there weren't upfront receipts).

If you’re wondering how this alleged account was figured out, an anon said someone tweeted about it and decided to look into it... and then now we are here...

SO HERE WE GO!

His FIRST account that went under @ gollpatter the account got suspended (He tweets about it on his second account, but you’re still able to see everything).

So now the account he is using the new one is @ shottergallas.

(So just remember there are two accounts. I know some can get confused lol).

WARNING: I know people are going to be running up the accounts anyways but will say just a heads up you will be finding shit that you don’t like mentioning SA and misogynistic comments, some of the comments are towards the incident of WJC 2018. (If I’m right it’s brought up on @ gollpatter)

Now we may all be here like okay… how do we know or assume it's actually him??? Here is my personal observation

If you look at the following on the first account @ GOLLPATTER. You can see that there are about 4+ people on there that he follows that are obviously his friends and has Steinbach Manitoba in the bio. Some of the content and influencers he follows or interacts with on there also align with his recent or past followings/likes/engagements on Instagram from celebs, influencers, sport hosts and even onlyfangirls (I’ll even get specific if I have to) . His interests are evidently displayed throughout his account... things like MMA, golf, hockey, Joe Rogan, Theo Von and other typical guy shit, but as I said if you followed up on him or paid attention to his Instagram activity it adds up.

(Screenshot of his followings the only thing is they don't follow back)

An Anon that initially sent me the sub on why she thought or had her own conclusions to why she thought it was him which I’ll be copying and pasting the sub down below and adding the links to the info she provided! To make everyone’s lives easier.

here’s the account introducing himself as goll patt: (X)

here’s the account calling jets/ava pond hockey last night: (X)

here’s that account excited about nolan’s friends ‘coggie’ return to the ‘national’ 6 days ago: (X)

and the related headline where Dylan Coghlan, Nolan’s former teammate returned to the NHL from the AHL: (X)

here’s that account being called pat by its friends in the reply of previous tweet: (X)

account being call pats/patty by friends: (X)

same account agreeing with hate on the vegas golden knights as a franchise, praising nic hauge and his wife: (X)

The hockey talk on the account that pop up usually I noticed has pertained to Vegas and the Flyers (some slight shady tweets mostly but nothing over the top) Maybe just some coincidence but I mean hey… we all know what teams he’s played for. Plus there are some Travis Konency mentions on there as well…

So “his” account interacts with the same 2-4 twitter accounts and these accounts tend to tag him in post about Nolpats which I found a bit ironic…

So the last to this which I thought was another eyebrow raiser, was another burner account that has some mutuals but isn't entirely active. Also tagged his account in a post regarding a Tik Tok. The context of the Tiktok was how most likely pro athletes do see the things you post online about them.

So would like to end this off with reminding you that this ALLEGED and there’s no real confirmation it’s him. You’re able to form your own opinion and perspective if you decide to look through and analyse the accounts yourself. I could go on more on some other details, but decided to just touch up on the things that stood out to me. I also was limited to adding content like photos and videos.

#this is probably a whirl wind for some especially once you start looking into the account lmaooo #BUT CANNOT STRESS THIS IS ALLEGED #have to really repeat that #i could probably go on about how I myself wasn't really sure on the account and found some things odd but once you start taking a look #and even looking into the mutual accounts #you kind of start to think theres a slight chance #anyyywaaysss #very interested in what everyones got to say and if you think its fake or real or youre stuck in the middle #also an alleged matt rempe fan too #nolan patrick #my post #np19

My AEW Revolution 2024 Predictions

I am so excited for this ppv and I have to much energy on myself so, deal with it

Tornado Tag Match Sting's Last Match - Darby Allin & Sting (AEW Tag Team Champions) VS Golf Trainers- oh sorry- AEW EVP'S Matthew & Nicholas Jackson

Let's start with the cherry on the top, I am so ready to cry on this match, even knowing that most likely Sting will appear again on AEW but not wrestling again

But for sure, 100% that the not Young Bucks anymore will win this match - I mean if its Sting's last match will Darby defend both belts alone?? I mean he is capable of it. but come on, one last match of this amazing tag team against the non Young Bucks is the perfect finish for this era

AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - Samoa Joe (C) VS Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Adam Page

Everyone is imagining that it will Swerve versus Hangman and Samoa Joe will be like third wheeling or something like that

this one will be pretty intense both men fighting for the gold and Samoa Joe defending it

I really want Swerve to win it but I think Samoa Joe will retain it, I mean it's the first ppv that he defends it

AEW WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - "Timeless" Toni Storm (C) VS Deonna Purrazo

Besides the Zero Hour one with Kris and Willow versus Julia Hart and Skye Blue, this is the only women´s match on the ppv..........come on AEW, your women's division is so freaking powerful and you still don´t know how to properly promoted, and we are on the International Women's month, come on......

I think Deonna Purrazo will win it for sure, but if Toni retains it I am so excited to see how this feud will keep going, because this feud was so well played, I am more than seated for this match

AEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - Orange Cassidy (C) VS Roderick Strong

It has to be Orange Cassidy, if it isn´t I will shave my eyebrows

Roderick Strong is being too annoying for Orange it has to be our denim and thumbs up man

AEW CONTINENTAL CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP - Eddie Kingston (C) VS Bryan Danielson

I am a bit uncertain with this one, but I think Eddie will retain it

and what an hell of a match this will be

Will Ospreay VS Konosuke Takeshita

another one that I am have no clue too who might win

but I guess Will Ospreay

TNT CHAMPIONSHIP - (Pro Pokemon Hunter) Christian Cage (C) VS Daniel Garcia

I am so excited for this one

But still for how much I would like to see Daniel with the gold, I am 100% sure that the Patriarchy will mess with this match

But its more than time for Daniel to be a champion (again)

FTR VS Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli

I am also unsure about this one, just to be different

But I think Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli will win it

ALL STAR 8-MAN SCRAMBLE - Dante Martin VS HOOK (FTW Champion) VS Brian Cage VS Magnus VS Chris Jericho VS Powerhouse Hobbs VS Brian Cage VS Wardlow

yes I am pretty HOOK biased but I dont think he will win this one, even tho I am an huge fan of this fighting big dudes agenda

also 2/5 of the Lads fighting each other

also 3/5 of Team Taz fighting each other

I think it will be more between Hobbs and Wardlow for sure, after yesterday's Collision

Zero Hour: Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale VS Julia Hart (TBS Champion) & Skye Blue

I am so excited for this one!!!

I think it will be Kris and Willow, in my mind if it Julia and Skye Blue, I think Willow will possibly turn on Kris idk why

Zero Hour: 12 MAN TAG MATCH - Bang Bang Scissor Gang VS Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, Private Party & Willie Mack

Come on it has to be Bang Bang Scissor Gang because they are Bang Bang Scissor Gang!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, what do you guys think?? Pls talk to me-

#aew #aew hook #730 hook #aew revolution #samoa joe #swerve strickland #hangman adam page #eddie kingston #toni storm #deonna purrazzo #kris statlander #stokely hathaway #prince nana #mogul embassy #sting #darby allin

Day Five Portrush to Rosapenna

Today we checked out of our hotel in Portrush. Lugged our bags out into the misty windy weather and made our way to Royal Portrush Golf Course just a few miles north up the coast. I’m getting used to driving on the opposite side of the road but Kim is not getting used to leaving the driving to me:-) Actually, she makes a great navigator along with our trusty GPS.

Royal Portrush was everything you would expect a past Open Championship course to be. And a future Open Championship course in 2025. The facilities were top notch. Lots of places to practice and plenty of things to buy in the Pro Shop. Ball mark was $17.50. Enough said. The bar and dining room were spacious and the staff was attentive and personable.

The weather was spitting rain and about 10-15mph winds. Our caddie’s, Tony and Syd, were older, experienced and affable. Full of stories about the last Open Championship and full of info about what has been going on at the course in preparation the next one.

Portrush is an exacting golf course. Get the ball off line and you’ll find yourself in trouble. Deep faced fairway bunkers and domed greens that will send you into more deep faced bunkers if your approach shot is slightly off target. The greens were lightening fast and with the wind blowing you could easily run through the green or come up short and down steep inclines if the wind was into you. Toughest hole for me was the par 3 16th. It played into the wind making a 180 yard carry 200 yards. Yes, I hit driver and escaped with a miraculous bogey.

The weather turned out to be better than expected. Along the coast, the weather changes dramatically throughout the day so we had rain, sunshine, rain and wind, sunshine and wind. Changing in and out of gear was something you just needed to get used to.

Today was my day but not Kim’s. Shot my best round of the trip, an 86. Kim chose not to keep her score but she hit some great shots just had a little trouble with consistency. She did out drive all of our foursome a couple of times! Speaking of our foursome, an interesting thing happened. It was one of those times when you say, “What were the odds?”. We were paired with the same two gentlemen that we played with at the Ardglass Golf Course! Now, what were the odds? Great guys and we had a wonderful time playing a second round of golf with them.

After calling it a day on the course, we drove to Rosapenna where we will be staying the next four nights. The drive might have been the most interesting part of our day. We must have driven through no fewer than 50 roundabouts on our 77 mile two and a half hour sojourn. The last 17 miles was on a road that was about the width of a standard car drive way if that. Kim kept her eyes closed most of the 17 miles. It was a beautiful drive as long as there were no oncoming cars and when there were then you were just thankful they passed without a collision! Maybe somewhat of an exaggeration but you had to be careful and slow down. The good news is we arrived safely and are looking forward to our stay.

Stats Summary

Score - 86/375

Holes Played - 18/72

Yardage Played - 6190/24,689

Lost Balls - 0/8

No. of Par or better - 2 birdies, 4 pars /3 birdies 12 pars

Steps - 14653/59,365

Miles - 6.37/26.24

Green Fees - $425/$1200

Caddie Fees - $75 plus tip/ $255

Tomorrow’s an off day and my back needs it! Will check back in tomorrow.

Blessings! gb

WHO IS THIS GUY?

Yo!

My name's Ryan, aka HAUNTED THE VAGABOND, aka HAUNTED, aka HAUNT, aka some other nickname that I have gained over the year, like... Fademan Haunt or something, call me what you like!

I'm a 28-year-old, asexual icon who goes by he/him pronouns, and I am a Canadian originally from Saskatchewan, but currently living in British Columbia.

I work as a Radio DJ by day, and I do a bunch of other stuff on the side, like streaming, podcasting, and being a pro wrestling announcer!

Big music guy, beginning to collect vinyl, hoping to get a sick setup soon. I do have a heavy leaning towards rock, metal, prog, punk, and hardcore, but I fuck with a lot of shit, and I'm always hunting for more stuff to listen to, open to all suggestions!

FIVE ALBUMS TO GET TO KNOW ME:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here: Essential Floyd, everyone talks about Dark Side or The Wall, but Wish You Were Here is where it's at. Best album to put on and get lost in it

Deftones - Koi No Yokan: Top to bottom there isn't a song that isn't a bop or a banger on KNY. From "Swerve City" to "Tempest" to "Entombed", all heat

Pharoah Sanders - Pharoah: If you have a Sunday where you gotta do a bunch of housework, maybe it's raining, put on Pharoah, it's something you'll remember forever

Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure?: I'm not a Fantano fan by any stretch, but I gotta thank him for putting me on Jessie Ware. A modern disco album that fucks this hard? That's rare as hell!

Death Grips - Powers That B: "Black Quarterback" is my Fuck Shit Up song, "On GP" makes me emotional, great album

SPORTS

Big sports guy, I'll watch damn near anything from Hockey to Darts, if there is competition, I'm in there.

TEAMS/ATHLETES I SUPPORT:

Hockey: Vancouver Canucks (Main), Winnipeg Jets, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, PWHL Minnesota, Prince George Cougars (WHL)

Football: Saskatchewan Roughriders (CFL), Seattle Seahawks (NFL)

Baseball: Toronto Blue Jays (Main), LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals

Basketball: San Antonio Spurs (Main), Toronto Raptors, Saskatchewan Rattlers (CEBL)

Soccer: Machester United (EPL), Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS)

College Sports: Michigan Wolverines (NCAA), Saskatchewan Huskies (USPORTS)

Lacross: Saskatchewan Rush

Combat Sports: Israel Adesanya (UFC), Tyson Fury (Boxing), Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston (AEW), CM Punk, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn (WWE)

Golf: Tiger Woods

Video Games

I like them.

FIVE GAMES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartending Action: Easily my favorite VN, entertaining characters, engaging world, I wanna get lost in it.

Halo 3: ODST: What if the cast of Firefly were in Halo and listened to a lot of Jazz? Yeah, peak.

Transistor: This is a beautiful game, it has a wonderful story and, a lovely soundtrack, a must-play if you love Supergiant games.

Hotline Miami: Soundtracks go a long way to elevate a game, and Hotline Miami is no different. Hotline Miami also boasts some real fast-paced, addictive gameplay. #TonyTime

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: Gameplay of a John Woo film fantastic noir story, Max Payne is one of the great characters in the medium.

Movies

I watch them.

FIVE MOVIES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

Clerks: Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors, and Clerks is my all-time favorite comedy.

The Raid 2: If you loved the Raid, then you owe it to yourself to watch the Raid 2, it's just the Raid with a story, and it's fantastic!

Rocky: There are a lot of Rocky films, counting Creed as well, but nothing tops the first Rocky movie, the best top-to-bottom film in the series.

Porco Rosso: Everyone loves Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle, and they are right to do some, Miyazaki is one of the GOATs for a reason. But in my eyes, his best film is Porco Rosso. The landscape shots showcase his love of the Adriatic and Italy, the characters are lovely, and the dub, oh my goodness Michael Keaton as Porco is *chef's kiss*

Treasure Planet: Peak Disney movie, hyper fixated on it as a kid, and still love it to this day.

Anime

They alright.

FIVE ANIMES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

BECK Mongolian Chop Squad: This is the quintessential HAUNT anime. Very down-to-earth, simple but engaging story about someone finding their place in the world. In Beck's case, it's Koiyuki becoming this amazing singer/rhythm guitarist, and helping Beck become a premiere band in Japan.

Gurren Lagann: It's mother fuckin Gurren Lagann man, go watch it.

Steins;Gate: The group chat between me and some of my closest homies is called Future Gadget Labs NA, if that doesn't tell you how much this show brought me and my friends together, then I don't know what else to tell you. Never played the VN but the Anime was great!

Samurai Champloo: Life-changing anime, changed my whole perspective on music and my relationship to it. Helps that the show is GAS, with one of the hardest dubs out there.

Eden of the East: Just a straight up solid show with some good movies attached to it.

Fandom Shit

I don't really participate in a lot of Fandom discussion, I just will reblog stuff I like from my interest. An avid fan of D&D, Wrestling, Fighting Games, Hockey, Football, Anime, and a bunch of other crap I'm forgetting about.

So that's me, if you like what you see, hit me up!

Connections to Golf Club Walker via @wdway

@wdway:

When I watched e23 it struck me and not for the first time that there might be a connection between Pamela and the Rich Bitch Walker Mannequin that we saw in Still. I couldn't get that off my mind so I decided to go check it out and into the rabbit hole I went.

Over the years we've talked a lot about the Rich Bitch and what her symbolism might mean. Her pearls are a sign of her wealth. The manner in which she's displayed shows us that there was violence and some type of an uprising against what she stood for. She's only half of what's left of a human body. The bottom half is from a mannequin, something plastic only shaped in the form of a human woman.

When Still actually aired there was a lot of attention by tptb around the Country Club and this particular walker. We seem to keep coming back to this episode not only for the storyline between Beth and Daryl but for all the symbolism that this entire episode carries. When I revisited it, I was struck by the ties of so many things in the present s11 storyline, but more importantly other connections between Beth, Daryl, Rick and the CRM.

I'll start with Daryl and Beth entering Pine Vista Country Club. One of the first things they see are 3 people, 2 women and 1 man hanging from the ceiling.

The center woman who is blonde is wearing pearls, the other woman is dressed in a green flowered top quite similar to what we had seen Alpha wear in s9e15 The Calm Before.

We quickly realize that there must have been some type of overtaking of the rich country club members by the working class employees.

The next thing that we see is Beth looking over a table setting and picking up a spoon that is engraved with an image of the capital building and the words “Washington DC.”

I've talked in a different rabbit hole ramble about how I have come to believe that the word Washington DC actually referred to a retelling/a coda of the story of George Washington and the American Revolution, replaced with Rick Grimes and a Revolution against the CRM.

We are seeing a rebellion right now at the Commonwealth which we believe will lead to a much larger one in the future that will include Rick Grimes and because Beth is the one who picked up the spoon she will be a part of the Revolution.

We see Beth put the spoon in her left back pocket. She then looks up and sees Daryl stuffing money in jewels into a backpack. She questions why he is doing this.

It struck me that we have seen something very similar at the Commonwealth a few episodes ago where Daryl and Rosita were placed in danger because of the greed of Sebastian who wanting to hoard money. At the end of that episode, Mercer offers a stack of money to Daryl and Rosita for the help that they had given in this very unsavory mission. We were left with the moral question of did they or did they not accept that money.

Daryl and Beth move on in the episode, going down into the belly of the beast you could say, to the Pro Shop of the golf club, where we find the Rich Bitch.

We see Daryl with the Rich Bitch first while Beth is busy changing. I want to note the red fire extinguisher in this shot with Daryl. It struck me that we have him here with the fire extinguisher and the Rich Bitch, and in the episode Family, we have him with a fire extinguisher and Pamela, the Commonwealth's Rich Bitch.

Beth delivers one of her more memorable lines in the scene when she asked Daryl to help her take the RB down because she believes in the dignity of the dead. Daryl says, "it doesn't matter, she's dead." Beth replies "it does matter." Daryl covers the RB. Again they made certain that we see the fire extinguisher during this exchange.

I want to point out something that seemed unimportant until recently. On the counter are two round white objects with black letters, PV. I'm sure it's stands for Pine Vista which makes perfect sense in this episode. It's the name of the country club. But how can we ignore the fact that because of The World Beyond series we know that there they were experimenting with walkers in what was called Project Votu/PV.

In the country club, we see three fire extinguishers. Rule of 3. We see all three with Beth. The first was while she was going through the kitchen area. It is silver. The other two are red with a yellow tag. Daryl is seen with only the two red fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers are part of the water symbol which is a symbol for Beth. Even though technically there isn't water in the fire extinguishers, they are used to extinguish a fire, to control it.

In Still, Beth is both a water symbol because of being around three fire extinguishers and she's a fire symbol because she is the fire starter. Starting a fire near the beginning of the episode and she strikes the match to burn the shack down at the end of the episode.

You probably are wondering where the tie is with Rick in all this. It comes back to the Rich Bitch. If a female walker with pearls=RB, then the tie is that we saw a RB walker in the last episode that we saw Rick in, s9e5 What Comes After.

Technically we did not see Rick with the RB, but it all ties together with Anne/ Jadis who in WCA episode was going to use a female walker with pearls to bite Gabriel, but could not go through with it.

Anne/Jadis spared Gabriel but later we find that she took his name instead of taking his life.

It comes down to this episode where we have so many connections. We have Rick's hallucination of himself in a hospital bed that is so reminiscent of not only his first episode of the series waking up but also of Beth in Slabtown, waking up at Grady.

@galadrieljones:

Since my brain isn't in top shape right now, I'm blanking. Can you just clarify--what's the RB we see in 9.5?

@wdway:

In the shot above, FG is laying tied down on the ground on a black and white rug in the junkyard. Jadis has a walker on a moving dolly with a bucket over its head. She removes the bucket and it is a female walker with pearls=RB..

In re-watching the other night, I was struck by the pink on the white horse. Pink. One of many colors connected to Beth . I realize it's supposed to be blood from Rick, but if that's true, it really should be redder and not pink.

I've always believed that the female on the white horse in the opening credits is not Michonne but Beth.

Let's skip to the part that you had talked about the other day @twdmusicboxmystery, of Rick on the bridge using his gun to shoot the red dynamite blowing it up. In this instance Rick shares the symbol of fire with Beth. When I went to get a shot of Rick shooting on the bridge, I saw something else that we probably have talked about before. It certainly has more meaning now. If in fact, the scene Daryl shooting Rick's gun at the red fire extinguisher blowing it up is a remix.

We have Rick on the bridge, facing the herd of walkers. Daryl, below the bridge, shooting arrows to keep the walkers at bay. Michonne, Carol and Maggie are all running to try to get to Rick. There are several frames breaking back and forth between Rick and the different groups of people.

The frame above is the last one before it breaks away to the others and comes back with Rick shooting. Look closely at his forehead. There is a circle of blood on the opposite side of where Beth was shot.

When the camera comes back on Rick after breaking away, there is no longer a spot of blood on his forehead. It's disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared.

When I saw Pamela with her pearls and thought of the RB, I never dreamed that I would find so many connections to red fire extinguishers, Beth, Rick, Galadriel, Jadis and Daryl shooting Rick's gun.

I really do believe that they used the scenes in Still and WCA and remixed them for the shooting scene in Family, just as they have been remixing and reusing scenes from s4 and 5 throughout this s11C.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

Love all your connections! I think you're spot on with them! I know we'd talked about ties between the golf club and the CW, especially back when Daryl saw the mural in the subway, but I hadn't thought about them in a long time, so I really like these.

It will be interesting to see if Pamela dies in the final episode. And, if so, if there's any reaction from Daryl or TF. There really may not be one at all, but it will be interesting if there is.

Anyway, great stuff. I think it all works together. While we can for sure tie RB to Pamela, because of the similar, RB walker with Jadis, we can also tie her (RB) to the CRM. So, I don't think RB at the golf club foreshadowed Pamela, per se. I think, as you said, it's a foreshadow of the CRM war and Beth's involvement there. But I also think Pamela and the CW are a foreshadow of what comes next, which is also the CRM war. So, it all works together.

... Fuck it, if I need to break for the night, I’ll break for the night, but I REALLY want to get this done before Season 2 airs and yesterday threw off my tempo.

LAST TIME ON BIRDIE WING!

[ID: A screenshot showing Ichina Saotome, a teenage girl with pale skin, brown hair pulled in a ponytail and brown eyes, wearing the white blazer and green tie of Raiou Academy, running as she narrates, “A top caddy can make more money than some pro tour players will make!” End ID]

We met our new protagonist - by which I mean she is legitimately a main character - Ichina Saotome, Eve’s new caddy!

Aoi convinced Eve to come to school with her! Why?

[ID: Screenshots showing Aoi, mostly cut off on the left side of the frame, and Amane walking through a hall. Aoi says “To be with her forever, of course. I want to play golf with her for the rest of my life.” End ID]

Because Aoi is super-gay!

[ID: A screenshot showing an indoor putt-putt golf course, holes delineated with illuminated trees as borders, with cardboard settings and a cute cartoon golf ball character standing in the middle with a smile. Offscreen, Kuyo says “I’m quite good at putting, you see.” End ID]

Our next antagonist took us to have dramatic and sinister putt putt golfing at the mall!

[ID: A screenshot showing a black screen as golf balls travel across leaving golden lines. Ichina thinks, “So this is the power of Koran’s Kuyo Iseshiba,” with the next line of subtitles from this screen continuing, “the one they call ‘Search The Line’!” End ID]

And finally, Golf Jojo Powers finally made their full arrival on the scene.

We now return to Birdie Wing, in which I’m going to seriously argue that this anime in which the protagonist is on the run from the Golf Mafia is making a point about access and class and that’s why it chose to be about golf, “the sport of the refined”, and that’s why all these teenage girls are more impressive than the Golf Mafia.

I’d preface this by saying I’m not joking, but frankly by this point I think we all recognize I’m not joking about anything where Birdie Wing’s concerned.

Mastering Golf Techniques: Secrets of Success from the Experts

Golf, an elegant sport with centuries of tradition, requires a balance of technical skill, mental focus, and physical fitness. Becoming successful in golf is not just about hitting the ball straight; it’s about refining every aspect of your game. Here, we'll explore essential techniques and strategies that professionals rely on to excel, from grip to mental resilience.

1. Perfecting the Grip

The grip is one of the most fundamental elements in golf. It influences control, distance, and accuracy. Professional golfers often experiment with different grips to find what works best for them. The three primary grips are:

The Interlocking Grip: Used by greats like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, this grip is favored for golfers with smaller hands. The pinky finger of the right hand interlocks with the index finger of the left, providing stability.

The Overlapping Grip: Popular among players with larger hands, this grip involves overlapping the pinky finger of the right hand on top of the left hand's index and middle fingers. It encourages more wrist action, which can generate power.

The Ten-Finger Grip: Often used by beginners, the ten-finger (or baseball) grip can give maximum control for those who struggle with other grip types. Some pros occasionally use it for unique shot types. Tip: Experts recommend frequent practice to maintain consistency in your grip, as this will significantly impact your shot's accuracy.

2. Mastering the Stance and Posture

Stance and posture set the foundation for a powerful and accurate swing. Golfers adopt a stable, slightly bent stance with feet shoulder-width apart to allow smooth weight transfer.

Balanced Posture: The correct posture should feel natural and athletic. A slight bend in the knees and a forward tilt from the hips, keeping the spine straight, is crucial. This posture provides balance and enables an unimpeded swing path.

Ball Positioning: Depending on the club, the ball’s position should vary. For example, experts position the ball slightly forward for drivers to help launch it with a slight upward trajectory, while wedges may have a more centered position for precision. Tip: Maintaining a consistent setup routine ensures that stance and posture remain steady, helping golfers develop reliable habits that lead to success.

3. Swing Mechanics

A perfect swing requires impeccable timing, coordination, and rhythm. Professionals spend years fine-tuning their swing to reduce flaws and optimize efficiency.

Backswing: The backswing sets up the energy for the shot. Keeping the arms and body connected as you turn is essential to prevent erratic movements. Professionals emphasize a slow, smooth backswing, enabling better control over the club.

Downswing: Timing is everything in the downswing. Pros accelerate through the ball, initiating the swing with the lower body rather than the arms. This sequence helps achieve maximum power and a consistent strike.

Follow-Through: A balanced follow-through reflects a good swing. The club should naturally guide the body toward the target, indicating proper alignment and rhythm. Tip: Practicing the swing with a mirror or video recording helps identify areas for improvement, making it easier to adjust mechanics effectively.

4. Short Game Mastery

The short game (chipping, pitching, and putting) is where many games are won or lost. Experts place a heavy emphasis on these areas, refining their technique to save strokes around the green.

Chipping: Experts keep the ball low to minimize unpredictable bounces. The chipping stroke resembles a putting motion, using minimal wrist movement and focusing on consistent contact.

Pitching: In situations where a higher trajectory is needed, pros use an open stance and adjust the loft to control spin and distance. This allows them to land the ball softly on the green.

Putting: Putting is often the most mentally demanding part of the game. Professionals spend hours reading greens and practicing putting drills to enhance touch and consistency. Tip: Dedicated practice with wedges and putters is crucial for improving short game skills. Many pros practice exclusively with these clubs for up to 50% of their training time.

5. Course Management

Course management is a strategic approach to navigating a golf course based on one’s strengths and weaknesses.

Playing to Strengths: Top players analyze each hole and select shots based on their strengths, even if it means sacrificing distance for accuracy.

Risk Assessment: Professional golfers are cautious about risky shots. Instead of trying to reach the green in two on a long par-5, for instance, they may opt to lay up, leaving a manageable wedge distance instead of risking a bunker or water hazard. Tip: Developing a pre-round strategy that takes the course layout, wind, and hazards into account can reduce mistakes and maximize scoring opportunities.

6. Physical Fitness and Flexibility

Physical conditioning plays a significant role in modern golf. Strength training, flexibility, and endurance exercises allow golfers to maintain high levels of performance across four rounds in a tournament.

Core Strength: The core is essential for generating power in the swing. Exercises like planks, Russian twists, and medicine ball throws improve stability and enable a stronger swing.

Flexibility: Flexibility, particularly in the shoulders and hips, allows for a full range of motion in the swing. Many professionals incorporate yoga or dynamic stretching routines to maintain flexibility.

Endurance: Walking a golf course can be physically taxing, especially over multiple rounds. Cardiovascular conditioning, like running or cycling, is beneficial for maintaining energy and focus throughout the game. Tip: A golf-specific fitness routine enhances endurance and minimizes the risk of injury, helping pros stay sharp and healthy.

7. Mental Focus and Resilience

The mental side of golf is just as important as the physical. Professionals are known for their strong mental game, which allows them to handle the highs and lows of each round.

Visualization: Before each shot, golfers visualize the desired result. Imagining the ball’s trajectory and final position helps players focus and commit to the shot.

Emotional Control: Golf can be a frustrating game, but experts stay calm, especially after bad shots. They focus on the next play, avoiding negative thoughts and staying present.

Routine: Consistent pre-shot routines help players relax and mentally prepare. This routine typically involves visualizing the shot, taking a few practice swings, and ensuring alignment. Tip: Practicing meditation, breathing exercises, or mindfulness techniques can improve focus and resilience, helping players manage pressure and maintain composure.

Conclusion

Success in golf is a result of attention to technique, mental discipline, and physical preparedness. Professionals are relentless in refining every aspect of their game, from grip to fitness to emotional control. For amateur golfers, adopting even a fraction of these strategies can lead to significant improvement, moving them closer to the professional level. Whether you’re just starting or aiming for expert-level play, these techniques form the foundation of a successful golf journey.
