The Kings have done it! They win it all!! What a way to cap off the season. A huge congratulations to Louisville Kings Kicker Tanner Brown, Punter Mac Brown, and Long Snapper Jordan Silver on winning the 2026 United Bowl! Three specialists who were absolutely elite all season long, and now they're champions. So well deserved! #UFL | #BetweenTheGoalposts

Titleist GTS3 Driver vs. Titleist GT3 Driver Comparative Review 👀 Is the new GTS3 better than the previous model GT3? Yes… and No. (On near center hits) ▪️GTS3 0.3 mph more ball speed than GT3 ▪️GTS3 1.5° higher launch than GT3 ▪️GTS3 28 rpm lower spin than GT3 ▪️GTS3 6.4 more carry yards than GT3 ▪️GTS3 0.8 more total yards than GT3 (On toe misses) ▪️GT3 0.2 mph more ball speed than GTS3 ▪️GTS3 0.1° higher launch than GT3 ▪️GT3 164 rpm lower spin than GTS3 ▪️GT3 1.1 more carry yards than GTS3 ▪️GT3 5.2 more total yards than GTS3 (On high misses) ▪️GTS3 2.0 mph more ball speed than GT3 ▪️GT3 0.7° higher launch than GTS3 ▪️GT3 58 rpm lower spin than GTS3 ▪️GT3 0.8 more carry yards than GTS3 ▪️GT3 2.1 more total yards than GTS3 (Impressions on Center Hits) A lot to unwrap here. First, sound and feel between GT3 and GTS3 is pretty much identical. There’s a slight difference in shape between the two heads and GTS3 did have me swinging up to 1 mph faster on average (which might account for slightly faster ball speed on center hits). GTS3 had a clear advantage over GT3 in carry yards but just a marginal advantage in total yards. Dispersion was about 5 yards tighter (closer) to center on both left and right misses with GT3. However downrange dispersion was tighter with GTS3 by about 5 yards as well. My fitter said most players experience more spin with GTS3 than GT3 so my slightly lower GTS3 spin isn’t typical, but on misses GTS3 did in fact spin more. (Impressions on Toe Misses) This is where it got even more interesting. GT3 maintained distance better than GTS3 with greater total distance of 5 yards. And GT3 also had tighter downrange dispersion by about 5 yards. So dispersion advantages flipped from GTS3 better on center strikes but GT3 better on toe misses. However GTS3 took away the really bad right misses (almost 10 yards closer to center than GT3). GTS3 is definitely a more stable head than GT3 and doesn’t twist open as much on toe misses. And again the role reversal is interesting with GT3 having tighter left-right dispersion on center hits but GTS3 bringing the right miss in tighter on toe strikes. (Impressions on High Misses) Similarly to toe misses GT3 retained total distance better than GTS3 (but by only a few yards). And again here GTS3 also took the bad right miss away better (but this time by only about 3 yards). GTS3 also had tighter downrange dispersion by about 5 yards on high misses (like it did on center hits) versus GT3 having tighter downrange dispersion on toe misses. (Conclusion) The most prominent advantage of GTS3 over GT3 is the higher launch on good strikes. I was getting almost 15 feet higher peak heights with GTS3. And for players who don’t have very fast swing speeds this will translate to more carry distance. When we talk forgiveness however GTS3 and GT3 each do certain things better than the other. On good strikes GTS3 had tighter downrange dispersion, but GT3 had better left-right dispersion. So choosing one over the other really depends on what’s more important to you. On toe and high misses GTS3 is more stable than GT3 and takes the right side away more, but GT3 still retains downrange total yards better on these misses. So again it’s a choice (between the two) of what’s more important to you. As always, the same shaft was used comparing both drivers( in this case the Graphite Design AD DI 6S), the driver lofts and settings were also the same, and the same ball was used.

Kovatch, Nick, and Dietzen bomb their drives again. Just locked in now. Nick suggests if I ever become a course architect every PGAPappas course must have an espresso machine on every hole. Agreed. Nick’s Golf Origins story reveals he grew up near St. Andrews and his mom took him to the course at 12 years old and he’d spend his entire days there. Dietz had another GIR and not only was the PWPI scoring record in his sight, so was his personal all-time low round. Kovatch hit pretty much the exact same shot as Dietz and also had a birdie look. Some of you were trying to call the Pasatiempo Pro Shop to bring me out a coffee. It didn’t happen but it’s the thought that counts. Boyza walked up the fairway and told me, “I’m coming back.” It was like Rocky saying he’s not going to get knocked down any more. And on Pasatiempo’s signature hole he was going to come back even more than maybe he realized. Dietzen reminded the livestream viewers his vote was for par (not birdie) to win a Callaway driver but as fate would have it he’d have another chance to win someone that driver very soon. Brian and Mike with a couple of pars here and @JeffSnoop1908 you were on Team Dietzen and the PGAPappas logo Chrome balls are yours.

The toughest hole at Pasatiempo and Nick, Kovatch, and Dietzen hit drives middle fairway all within 5 yards of each-other. Boyza however decided he wanted an extra challenge (nothing but crickets). Nick and Kovatch gave themselves birdie looks, Dietzen almost jarred a bunker shot for birdie. And after some LogoUP magic into the green Boyza might have had the best putt of them all - the old “Long Distance Walk It In for Double.” Nick and Dietzen stopped for a few moments walking up the fairway to take in the view. We got a great pic of the PWPIPasatiempo group on this 11th green. And Nick made the first par on this hole in the group to win @jeff17black a new Odyssey putter.

Crown him! Tanner Brown has broken the UFL single-season field goal record with 25 made field goals, surpassing Lucas Havrisik's mark of 22. He sits second in modern spring football history tied with Luis Aguilar, behind only Chris Blewitt's all-time mark of 27. And he still has one game left! #UFL | #BetweenTheGoalposts

To all the Play With Pete Invitational: Pasatiempo livestream viewers… Thank You! 💯😁 You’re as big a part of PWPI as the host course, partners, and players. And I love seeing you all getting into it in both the livestream and replay! Next week we’ll sort out prizes won, do hole recaps, and of course player spotlights like we do with all PWPI’s as I go back to also watch the replays. You all have made this what it is and you helped tee off PWPIPasatiempo to be a great day. Absolute greatness, take a bow and thank you again!
