I’m amazed at how many great players talk about growing up playing golf on a golf course as much as possible learning how to score. Golfers nowadays just want to stand in a building and make a pretty swing. Tell me your score, not how pretty your swing is.

You don’t hear much about caddie Josh Cassell (Daniel Berger’s caddie) around golf circles in Tennessee but he must be one heck of a caddy. Multiple wins on

A parent ask me yesterday about my students that won State High School Individual Golf Titles. Been awhile since I’ve looked at it. A lot of great players on this list. Pretty cool to look back over the years.

Kid this weekend said he hasn’t taken lesson because I don’t post videos on Instagram.I said I’ve had 564 kids sign scholarships and never posted a video. All kids that think a pretty swing and a video on Instagram is getting you in college is in for big surprise.

I told

and his Dad his junior year of high school that he couldn’t play Division 1 golf because he couldn’t drive it far enough (88mph). He’s now at

I really struggle with fact that kids are working really hard to get a college scholarship for golf and they are playing region high school tourneys from 5100 yards (girls) and 6200 yards (boys). It’s not fair for kids and it’s not fair for college coaches.

@5StarPreps
This is so awesome to see. I don’t know these guys very well, but I keep up with them and know how hard they work. Folks, they don’t even have an 18 hole course in their county. And they are Class A State Champions. Congratulations !!!
@5StarPreps
In all my boredom of recovering from a detached retina, I did something I wanted to do for long time. I looked up how many men’s and women’s college golfers there are in Tennessee and how many are from the state. Amazing how many players.

Seeing UT miss out on
@sophielinder_
(Ole Miss),
@kynadieadams
(Alabama),
@lynnrlim
(Vanderbilt), all 3 are Top 40 players in America, reminds me when they missed out on Davis Shore, Ryan Hall, and Kyle Cottam. Won’t happen again, at least on men’s side.
Well,it’s consensus,Twitter folks have determined that High School Golf is all about fun and camaraderie. Me and the many college coaches that reached out to me were outnumbered. And thanks again for educating me on how junior golf, HS golf and college recruiting works.

Farragut High School State Champion Golfer LANCE SIMPSON signed Scholarship Papers with the University of Tennessee Volunteers this morning! ⚓️🍊🏌🏽 Lance is a 2-time State Individual Champion and a member of the 2020 Admirals Boys State Team Champions!
@Vol_Golf
Lance Simpson at the beginning of this week: "I'm winning this thing"
Guess what he just did?
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2022 Tennessee Amateur Champion:
I just watched 4 hours of golf from two of the greatest chippers and pitchers in history and never saw one short game shot with the ball in middle of stance and the shaft straight up and down.

@TNgolf
State Amateur on Friday afternoon, and he’s back to work with me Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
And that was after a
@stallingsgolf
workout session 😳
I love watching pro golf. The leader head drops a foot, guy 2nd makes Mayfair’s putting stroke look like Loren Roberts, guy in 3rd has half a backswing and pauses at top, guy in 4th chips cross handed. Balls curving everywhere. And hadn’t heard term shallow the club one time.
Possibly the greatest female golfer ever from Tennessee. 3-time State High School Champion, 2-time Rolex All-American, 3-time NCAA All-American, Palmer Cup, Curtis Cup, U.S. Amateur Champion. What a resume !!
Had privilege of helping this guy for at least 15 years. Incredible player. Rarely gets to play except in tourneys with his job, fights back problems, and still competes for wins every time he plays. 23 birdies and eagle in 56 holes. Amazing. Congrats buddy !!! 👊
🔥🔥🔥
Todd Burgan makes this birdie on 18 to finish off a final round -10, 62 … including a closing 29 🤯
He is going to win his fourth Tennessee Mid-Amateur title!
Always love getting these text !! Congrats to

This has to be the best class Tennessee has ever signed. These guys are incredible talents. You want to know what it takes to play golf at this level, check out their resumes. Elite !!
Had a kid ask me this weekend if I had ever played in a Professional Major Championship. I said no, but I’ve had students play in 26 of them. And then I said, I’m worried about your golf game, not mine. He got the point !!

Great gesture by
@TNgolf
and
@volgolfdad
for Ray and his family. I’ve given lessons to Ray and his kids for years. Great family and also a great golf family. Hope everyone keeps Ray and his family in their prayers.
Players at the Tennessee Senior and Super Senior Amateur can pick up a maroon ribbon to honor fellow competitor Ray Morton, courtesy of
@volgolfdad
and his family.
Ray recently was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare cancer of the plasma cells. Our prayers are with Ray 🙏🏽
And the guy that won had all the guts, all the shots, and all the short game. You kids standing on range with alignment stick trying to hit it straight at one flag for hours may need to reevaluate.

Will Zalatoris hitting 330 yard straight bombs on every hole, getting up and down from everywhere, and has nerves of steel, but commentators acting like math and stats is why he’s in contention 😳
