The PGA Tour winner, Full Swing legend and one of the funnier guys in golf received a taste of his own medicine upon entering Los Angeles Country Club this week. There’s nothing more cherished than the Player Valet Parking, but it looks like Dahmen—who has been struggling lately, missing the cut at four of his last six events— may have to take a shuttle to get to the first tee.
While all eight episodes of Netflix’s “Full Swing” series were good in their own right, it’s become quite clear that the Joel Dahmen episode is a favorite among golf diehards and casuals alike. And if everyone had to pick a favorite moment from the episode, it would obviously be Dahmen slugging down a few White Claws in between 18s at U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying, then qualifying for the U.S. Open and eventually tying for 10th.
Making mistakes is an inherent part of golf: attempting to hit a hero shot instead of punching out, misreading putts, even white belts, for pity’s sake. However, the biggest danger facing modern golfers is Twitter.
An 18-hole experiment with Joel Dahmen and our 11-handicap Golf Digest colleague confirms that playing a tour pro’s drives solves a lot of problems. Just not all of them.
Na, 38, who is among 13 PGA Tour members listed in the field for next week’s inaugural LIV Golf Invitational event in London, announced on social media Saturday that he has quit the tour on which he has competed for 19 years.
If Netflix was hoping for drama in the upcoming PGA Tour docuseries, the streaming service got all of it and then some from the group of Daniel Berger, Viktor Hovland and Joel Dahmen in the 16th fairway on Monday at TPC Sawgrass.
The frat-party atmosphere inside the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale was made for players like Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen, two “people’s golfers” who don’t take themselves too seriously and know how to have a good time.
We’re sure the advice itself is pretty solid, but “get to the 18th hole early” isn’t exactly useful for a PGA Tour winner who is competing in the event.
