Charlie Hustle…

Pete Rose was never short on confidence, whether he was standing in the batter’s box or on the golf course. ⚾️⛳️

Baseball's all-time hits leader was also an avid golfer who enjoyed playing in celebrity tournaments and competitive golf outings.

And if you knew anything about Pete Rose, you knew he wasn't afraid to remind people of his accomplishments.

Before a golf match, Rose reportedly sized up the competition with this classic line:

“I'm the same as any man here who has two arms, two legs, and 4,256 hits.”

That's about as Pete Rose as it gets. 😂

He might not have been the best golfer in the group, but with 4,256 career hits, he certainly had bragging rights.

Who else remembers watching Charlie Hustle play baseball?

This is interesting. I’m working on free movement of the scapula.

Online Beginner course coming soon!

I’m really excited about this project. It’s been a long time in the making, and I believe it can be a game changer for the golf-curious crowd—the people who want to give golf a try but have no idea where to start.

For all the talk about “growing the game,” the golf community still has work to do to make beginners feel welcome, especially women and children. I want to help change that.

YouTube has plenty of great golf instruction. But when you’re brand new, how do you know which advice applies to you—or what to learn first?

That’s why I’m building a beginner series that goes beyond the swing. We’ll cover equipment, what belongs in your golf bag and what you can leave out, how to book a tee time, basic etiquette, and how to prepare for your first round.

The goal is simple: help you arrive feeling comfortable, prepared, and excited to play.

The script is finished, the filming location is secured, and the space is almost ready. A few rough spots to smooth out and one more good raking of the top area, and we’ll be ready to start filming.

A lot of work has gone into getting here. I can’t wait to show you what’s coming.

If you’ve ever wanted to try golf but felt unsure where to begin, I’m building this for you. ⛳

Turned a corner of the backyard into my own golf practice green. ⛳️🔨

A lot of work went into this little space—and now the real practice begins.

Would you build one in your yard?

Interesting history for this gem…

100 years ago, a municipal golf course off Enfield Road quietly became the first desegregated public golf course in the entire former Confederacy, years before Brown v. Board of Education. It's also where a future two time Masters champion learned to hold a club. ⛳

Lions Municipal Golf Course at 2901 Enfield Road opened in 1924 under the Austin Lions Club, and in late 1950 the city let two Black golfers finish their round rather than arrest them, a quiet but real first for public golf in the South. A few decades later, a young Austin kid named Ben Crenshaw grew up just blocks away and honed his game on the same fairways, winning the Austin Men's City Championship in 1967 as its youngest ever winner. At age ten, legendary teaching pro Harvey Penick put a cut down 5 iron in Crenshaw's hands at Austin Country Club and set his grip by hand, a grip Crenshaw said he kept for his entire Hall of Fame career.

Fellow Austinite Tom Kite came up on those same Muny fairways under the same coach, and years later, at sixteen, Crenshaw's father found his old childhood putter sitting forgotten in a barrel at the course, on sale for fifteen dollars.

Did anyone in your family learn to golf at Muny? ⛳

Here is a sneak peak at my beginner course. I am pretty excited about how it is turning out. It is an online interactive guide to help the beginning golfer.
If you are new to golf this is the perfect course to get you started.😎 ⛳️
