Before the storms on Friday night, we did hours of aerification on the teeline, hundred of pounds of seed applied last night on the teeline, just in time for the rain! This makes the Des Moines Driving Range nicer today and in the future!

18 holes for a spot in a Major. π
Sean McCarty and Jeff Schmid have survived the cuts and are officially in the hunt during the final round of the PGA Professional Championship. The goal is simple: finish in the Top 20 and punch that ticket to the PGA Championship in May.
The pressure is on, but these guys are built for it. Stay tuned. π

They call it "Golf as it was meant to be," but they don't mention how much it hurts to miss a cut by a whisker. π
Massive respect to our local pros competing in Oregon this week. Seeing Jeffrey Schmid and Sean McCarty make the cut at the PGA of America Professional Championship is a testament to their consistency and toughness.
To Dillon, Jay and Ryan: missing a +2 cut at a place like Bandon is nothing to hang your heads about. You showed up, competed, and made us proud. Now, letβs get behind Jeff and Sean for the final rounds! π
