Player Spotlight: Tom Holden


Name: Tom Holden

Nickname(s): T-Money, Holden, Chris

Handicap: 16.5

Description: Tom has some “Flannery” tendencies in him. When he thinks he may have been smoking too much, he doesn’t quit, he switches to tobacco. If he is getting horrible hangovers, no more wine this week, just beer. And when asked if his handicap was 22 by the pros at North Hills, he looked them dead in the eye said, “Yep.”

Golf Game Description: For twins, there games couldn’t be less similar. Tom has the 2nd largest swing on the trip (I’m looking at you Jeremy Wells), when everything comes together, smoother than a gravy sandwich. When things go wrong, especially off the tee, don’t be surprised to hear “What the fuck” in no more than a whisper followed up by what has now become famous, a donkey slam. Tom will take the club, fully pull it over his head like someone getting ready to win a stuffed giraffe at the strong man competition at the fair, and he unleashes hell on the tee box that would dare allow him his 3rd bad drive in a row. It a word, asstastic!

Greatest Moment in Golf: Getting to the Alternate Shot playoff with older brother Matt (same year he played as a 22) before topping his first shot in front of about 80 drunk guys who obviously let him have it afterwards.

Little Known Fact: Tom likes to dance like no one is watching when everyone is watching him dance.
