Welcome to Tom Werkmeister golf.
In case you’re wondering...they didn’t play the 4th round of the Michigan Open due to inclement weather & poor course conditions.
Tomorrow? Or is it a final?
Sorry I haven’t posted about the Michigan Open...I don’t have much to say since I’m not there. He (obviously) hasn’t played well but he’s worked with a couple guys there (including local PGA pro John Seltzer) & feels like he is on the right track to getting his irons figured out. He’s pretty happy (overall) with his putting...on Tuesday he had 12 putts in 10 holes (which, by his score, tells you how bad his irons were).
He comes home tonight. I miss him. I hate not being able to travel with him & this is the first time in our 21 years together that I didn’t go to the Michigan Open with him 😢
On to the next adventure! Tom will be on the Huge Radio Show during the LPGA Event at Blythefield tomorrow from 3-6pm. You can listen on 106.1 FM here in GR or click on the link below to find your local affiliate station (there is one in the Detroit area) or listen online.
If you’re going to be out at the LPGA event tomorrow during those times, stop by and say “hi” to us! I’ll be with him just so I can spend some time with him before he leaves for Wisconsin early Saturday morning for his next Monday qualifier. #golflife

Thanks to everyone who ordered a shirt! I’ll get the order over to MCS tonight! I think there were 54 shirts ordered total!
If you haven’t already, please take a moment to pay via PayPal or Venmo.
Thanks again for your willingness to wear your support! 😊
Now it’s time to find a beer holding hat that will match the shirt and I’ll be ready to walk the course.
Ohh snap there was a deadline!?
Only 2 more days left if you’re interested in ordering a #TEAMWERK shirt (no more orders after 6/10). We have 46 people who are ordering so far! You can Venmo $8.50 for the shirts to us at TLWerk or make payment via PayPal to tomwerks@att.net. You can also pay via Apple Pay (PM me for that info). Again, we are selling these at cost thanks to MCS Marketing - we are not making any profit on them - this is just for fun.
I’d appreciate it if everyone could pay before the 12th so we can get the order in on time so the shirts are back well before the 1st day of the Open (6/27).
How about I just pay u at the club?!
Leslie Werkmeister I would like a XL mens. Chris is going to pay you for it thru his PayPal account. Thanks
Oh medium for me and small for Jenn. I’ll PayPal later today
I’ll buy a men’s and women’s shirt to support Tom even though I won’t be able to attend . I’ll watch when he wins on tv though
5 years has flown by and wow! So many changes! This was at Tom’s Golf HOF induction ceremony. Arguably one of the highlights of his golf career - especially the fact that we were joined by so many friends & family for his day! I don’t think I have to recap what’s happened since then...but I do have to say that NONE. OF. IT. would’ve happened without those same friends & family, NEW friends and certainly Tom’s sponsors who have made this foray into professional golf possible. Thank you Bill Buchanan (Buchanan Insurance), Steve Deschaine (Hill Machinery), Paul Kamps (Buskirk Lumber), Joel Eerdmans (JDE Concrete) and Doug Meijer (I think you know that name) 😊
Luv u guys
Wooot hooot!

13 former champions in field for next week’s Michigan Open at The Bear
mlive.com
The 72-hole Michigan PGA event is scheduled for Monday through ThursdayGood luck Tom!!
Good luck Tom!
Tee times for next week’s Michigan Open at The Bear at the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City are below.
Tom is off #10 at 1:42pm on Monday and off #1 at 8:54am on Tuesday.
I can’t go to this tournament (because of that 4-letter word WORK) so I’ll be watching online with many of you! I believe they’ll have live scoring after every 3 holes, until the last round at which point it will be every hole - at least that’s how they’ve done it in the past.

Jun 10 - Jun 13, 2019 at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa - The BearTom can win this again!!
He's playing with Andy. I'm sure he's played a few rounds with him before. Love The Bear and my Michigan Open years playing.
We will be there with Billy Cross and Laure Cross cheering him on!!
Good luck
If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets to the Irish Club on the 17th hole at the US Sr Open, you can contact the person below. I believe you can get 4 for $179 (not sure how much they are individually through her). They are going for $80.00 a piece on the USGA web site. All that gets you is admission - once inside there is food & drink for purchase and it’s air conditioned (which can be really nice when it’s scorching hot or raining).
Does the price include admission to the tournament for the day as well?
Nate Duemler not a bad way to go about Friday tickets, thoughts?
I just measured the women’s shirt & the size chart I posted on FB is pretty accurate - they actually run a bit large & are only 37% cotton so they won’t shrink (they’re pretty stretchy). According to the chart, I wear a M (I usually wear a large). I tried a M on & it fit really well! The men’s (or unisex) almost always run true to size. ~ Leslie
You can pay for the t-shirts via Venmo @TLWERK, PayPal using tomwerks@att.net or Apple Pay (PM me for my number).
Leslie, let me know how to pay you and get the shirts, I'm not a high tech guy!!
I am flying home today, can I just get the money to you or MCS?
Here are the links to the size charts for the #TEAMWERK shirts. PLEASE measure an existing shirt to double check your size choice...especially the women’s v-neck shirts. Women’s shirts run notoriously small & once these are ordered, we can’t just exchange them. So take a minute to double check! (Do not look at the color in the pic - these are for sizing purposes only!)

Dan Kozak what size(s) do you want
For those of you planning on coming down to South Bend for the US Sr Open, I had an idea of how we can have some fun & show our support for Tom by wearing #TEAMWERK shirts. If anyone is interested, our friend (and Tom’s boss) Melissa Denhof & I designed the t-shirts shown in the pictures below that we’ll be selling for only the cost to make them (thank you MCS Marketing)! You can choose a unisex crew neck or the women’s v-neck. They will cost $8.50 each (regardless of style). I’d like to get an idea of who would be interested in buying one. Post a comment below & if enough of you want to do it, I’ll post some more details (like sizes and what the order cutoff date will be).

Goodbye Wakonda Golf Club...next year I’ll make sure I’m in better condition...you’re a brute! 🐐😲🏌🏻♂️☀️

Congratulations again on making the field Tom! I’m sure I speak for alot of others when I say that it changes my entire outlook on a tournament when you know someone who’s playing. Hope to see you play in many more. Safe travels to all of you!
10:10am tee time (11:10am EST). It’s a super pretty day here, not a cloud in the sky & forecasted high is 76! After today’s round we drive back to MI (7 hours plus we lose an hour). Then Ryan drives up to Boyne to play in the pro-am with John Seltzer and Tom will play 36 holes in the Mary Free Bed outing.
The regular tour members are all boarding a private jet tonight with their spouses/significant others & a contingent from the PGA to fly to Japan for an invite only tournament - it’s a tough life. I’d like to try it. 😊
Stay tough. You guys can get there!
Good luck today. Keep moving up!
Ryan was rockin’ the vintage look today!
I like it, Ryan!
