Alex WINS at the Simulator

Yes, I know this blog post is more than a week overdue, but I needed to post about the new Golfers and continue to work on the Winter Meeting issues.

I will resend an updated Winter Meeting post on Wednesday.

Introduction: The 2nd round of the 2025 BJG Pre-Season Tournament was exciting, with 8 golfers competing in an intense match. After some last-minute adjustments to the player list, the event kicked off without a warm-up, which definitely impacted some players' performances. But despite the rushed start, the game was full of memorable moments and stellar plays.

Group One:

The First Group was composed of:

• Adam

• Eric

• Joe

• EJ

  
  

Performance Highlights:

• Adam: Adam was in top form, consistently crushing the ball and driving the green on any hole under 320 yards. His power off the tee gave him a significant advantage on the course.

  
  

• EJ: Unfortunately, EJ faced challenges early on, with out-of-bounds shots and the thick, high grass causing trouble. Despite the setbacks, he kept pushing through.

• 
  

• Eric: Eric’s smooth swing impressed everyone, and his ability to hit different shots with his 5-wood was especially remarkable.

  
  

• Joe: After a rough start, Joe managed to settle down and play his way into a solid rhythm, with strong (high) drivers and good wedge shots.

  
  

Group Two:

The Second Group featured:

• Mike

• JT

• Stephen

• Alex

  
  

Performance Highlights:

• Mike: Mike was hitting the ball hard and making great strides on each hole.

  
  

• Alex: Alex’s shots were shorter but precise, and his ability to play consistently and avoid major mistakes helped him maintain a strong position.

  
  

• JT: JT was enjoying the day, swinging the club and keeping up with the competition.

  
  

• Stephen: Stephen struggled to keep his shots on the green, often rolling off the edges. He’ll be looking to fine-tune his golf simulator short game in future tournaments.

  
  

Final Score (9 Holes):

1st Place: Alex – 28 (46)

2nd Place: Adam – 29 (33)

3rd Place: JT – 30 (38)

4th Place: Joe – 33 (46)

5th Place: Mike – 38 (43)

5th Place: Stephen – 38 (49)

7th Place: Eric – 42 (50)

8th Place: EJ – 44 (61)

Closing Thoughts:

Just like in 2022, Alex proved that his winning formula was to play his own game and minimize mistakes. Despite Adam playing an incredible round, going 3 under par, Alex still managed to clinch the win by just one stroke—showing how crucial it is to play better golf when it counts.

It was also a great opportunity for some of the members to meet Eric and Alex before the Winter Meetings. Overall, a tournament full of great performances, a few challenges, and plenty of fun moments!

Respectfully,
