Tanner Hohmann
Grove City HS | BC3 freshman
Who is your favorite professional golfer and why?
My favorite golfer is John Daly because he is a very relaxed golfer.
Describe the best shot you have ever made, where, and how?
I once made a great second shot on No. 14 at Green Meadows Golf Course from 260 yards to 5 feet from the hole.
If you could play any golf course in the world, which would it be and why?
I would play Pebble Beach because that is the first golf course I grew up hearing about.
If you could pick anyone to be your caddy, who would it be and why?
I would pick my dad because he would be funny and he knows my club yardage.
What is the funniest golf outfit you have worn or seen?
I have seen a person wearing a pink striped shirt with matching shorts. It was hilarious.

Liam Kosior
Neshannock HS | BC3 freshman
Who is your favorite professional golfer and why?
Justin Thomas. His mental toughness is a great example of what you need to have in order to be successful on the course. Also, his ability to shape his shot is something that I strive to be able to do.
Describe the best shot you have ever made, where, and how?
I was playing at Castle Hills in Neshannock with my dad and his two buddies and we were on No. 18, which is a par-5, and we needed an eagle on the last hole to win the match. I hit a perfect drive and had 160 yards left, so I used a 9-iron and had a tap-in eagle to win and shoot even par.
If you could play any golf course in the world, which would it be and why?
Seminole Golf Club. It is one of the most exclusive courses in the world and the layout looks very challenging. Chances are you would probably see a few PGA Tour players there as well.
If you could pick anyone to be your caddy, who would it be and why?
Harry Higgs. I feel like no matter how I am playing he will always keep a positive attitude. I could be 8-under or 20-over and his mood will not change no matter the circumstance.
What is the funniest golf outfit you have worn or seen?
I think the obvious answer is John Daly. Every time he plays he has a crazy pair of pants or some sort of crazy shirt that would not look good on anyone else but him

Troy Loughry
Grove City HS | BC3 freshman
Who is your favorite professional golfer and why?
My favorite golfer is Jordan Spieth! He has a certain charisma about him and is super humble when it comes to golf! He has a really unique swing, I think, and his short game is super strong! He’s also awesome with his fans, always signing autographs and taking pictures with them!
Describe the best shot you have ever made, where, and how?
The best shot I have ever had would be on No. 14 at Stoughton Acres! It’s a par-5 and I was in the right trees with about 265 (yards) in on my second shot! I hit a huge slice just perfect and it landed about 3 feet from the hole and I made the putt for an eagle!
If you could play any golf course in the world, which would it be and why?
My dream course would Augusta National! It’s the yearly host of the famous Masters Tournament and has an incredible golf tradition! Its beauty and majestic look overshadow its incredibly tough golf course! It would be awesome to play there and get to walk the same track as all those famous Masters champions!
If you could pick anyone to be your caddy, who would it be and why?
If I had to pick a caddy it would’ve been my grandpap! He was always very good at keeping me calm under pressure and walking me through my thought process on every shot!
What is the funniest golf outfit you have worn or seen?
The funniest golf outfit I’ve seen is anything that John Daly used to wear back in the day! He’d look like he just rolled out of bed and then go win a tournament with no warmup! What an absolute legend!

Jack Mason
Freeport Area HS | BC3 freshman
Who is your favorite professional golfer and why?
Tiger Woods is my favorite professional golfer. He has an amazing comeback story. He is truly a master at his craft and it is incredible to watch him play and listen to him describe the way he plays the game of golf.
Describe the best shot you have ever made, where, and how?
The best shot I ever hit was actually out of a pond. I hit my second shot and it bounced into a pond that was covered in thick algae. I saw the ball sitting on top of this algae that looked like a piece of sod just floating in the water. So I took off my socks and shoes. I rolled up my shorts and I hit the ball out of the pond.
If you could play any golf course in the world, which would it be and why?
Augusta National would probably be my go-to course if I could play it. That is where The Masters Tournament is held. It is an amazing course.
If you could pick anyone to be your caddy, who would it be and why?
I would choose my swing coach Kevin Shields. That man has forgotten more about golf than I know about golf. He can read a green and pick a shot like nobody I’ve ever met.
What is the funniest golf outfit you have worn or seen?
I once saw a man wearing a polo shirt with his sleeves cut off. His collar was popped up and he had what has to be less than 5-inch-inseam shorts on. With high white socks. It was quite the sight to see on a public course.

Collin Witouski
Eden Christian Academy | BC3 sophomore
Who is your favorite professional golfer and why?
My favorite professional golfer, although deceased, is Arnold Palmer because he had a true passion for the game of golf and cared deeply about his fans and always went out of his way to meet them and sign autographs.
Describe the best shot you have ever made, where, and how?
The best shot I’ve ever made was a hole-in-one at Connoquenessing Country Club in Ellwood City on No. 3 on May 29, 2017. It was a par-3, 153 yards. I hit an 8-iron and watched the ball roll backwards down the sloped green and drop right into the hole!
If you could play any golf course in the world, which would it be and why?
If I could play any golf course in the world, it would have to be Augusta National because it is one of the most prestigious golf courses in the world and every single year hosts The Masters Tournament which I believe to be the greatest golf tournament of all time.
If you could pick anyone to be your caddy, who would it be and why?
If I could pick anyone to be my caddie, I would pick Justin Thomas since he is a young but experienced professional golfer who has done very well on the PGA Tour.
What is the funniest golf outfit you have worn or seen?
The funniest golf outfit that I have seen is John Daly anytime he makes a public appearance.
