Let’s say you are a golf And you are paired in a match against a We open winner in his prime minister. How many strokes do you think you should get?
Wynham Clark says he would give you “four to six”.
For Clark, the 2023 open champion, this is not a removed hypothetical. Unlike many pro tour, the 31-year-old winner, three times the tournament, enjoys what the double winner of the US Open Open Curtis Strange After being rejected as “Golf Jolly”. That is, Clark likes to play golf for fun, with non-professionals, something he does in the outside season when he gets friends’ trips with long friends.
Some of Clark’s friends are former collegial and mini-Turne veterans. They are good at Golf. But they are not THAT Okay, or they would not need their day’s work. Which does not mean that Clark goes easily with them.
Over time, he says, he discovered that giving four to six shots is the fairest way to go.
Wouldn’t it be easier, you might ask, if Clark just kept a handicap? Indeed, he has one. The tour holds it for it. According to the numbers, Clark says he is a plus-9, for which he claims makes him a “opposite sand”.
All this, and more, came out in the conversation ahead AT&T Pebble Beach pro-amin Monterey, Calif. where Clark sat to chat with GolfGolf.com’s new Weekly Golf and Podcast Travel. Clark was preparing to defend his title at Pebble Beach. But he was also busy with promoting a partnership with the Bourbon Blade and Bow brand and a deal that involves him to play clumsy Golf. Essential is this: Blade and Bow is holding a sweepstakes. The winner will have to play a round with Clark in a high -level private club that has not yet been discovered, followed by drinks in the bar.
Clark races for a living. But he knows that Jolly Golf is the blood of the game life. To hear him discuss his virtues, you can hear the whole interview herein which Clark also goes deep into the rigidities of tourist life travel, his favorite destination of friends of friends, and why, no matter where he goes, he always packs a gizmo called a earthly salary.
