Meet the Golfers.
Again. Welcome to The.Draft. Below is a collection of all the golfers competing this weekend. Captains, begin studying your potential team and competition. Choose wisely to be crowned the Kings of the Sandhills.
Andrew Shingleton | 16 Hcp | @arshingleton
Andrew brings a 16 handicap and a lifetime of answering "No, not the beach town in Washington" to the Sandhills. He navigates pine needles with seasoned calm, even if his ball occasionally goes on a solo vacation.
Cameron Nixon | 7 Hcp | @nixon.cameron
Boasting a single-digit 7 handicap, Cameron plays the smooth, structured golf everyone pretends to play after three beers. You want him on your team—and hate seeing him line up a putt against you.
Casey Peterson | 17 Hcp | @kcfresh23
Casey keeps it fresh with a high-energy game ready to surprise. A 17 handicap gives him the license to thrill, turning a chaotic slice into a miraculous par-save just to keep the gallery on its toes.
Cody Suite | 16 Hcp | @cody_suite
As a tournament admin, Cody's 16 handicap is the ultimate cover. When he isn't managing leaderboards, expect strategic, crowd-pleasing recovery shots from the pine needles.
Dakota Moore | 9 Hcp | @kotamoore23
Armed with a deadly 9 handicap and a "Kota" mentality on the greens, Dakota is the silent assassin who quietly drains 20-footers while opponents are still complaining about their lies.
Drew Dvorsky | 13 Hcp | @dubl_d24
Drew "Double D" Dvorsky rocks a 13 handicap—the sweet spot for explosive golf. He pairs brilliant birdies with dramatic woods recoveries to keep his team fully entertained.
Graham King | 9 Hcp | @gking_coastalnc
Bringing relaxed NC coast energy to his 9-handicap game, Graham makes golf look effortless—even if a sudden coastal gale catches his driver on a hook.
Jimmy Schaefer | 15 Hcp | Vouches Only
Stepping on site as a total wildcard, Jimmy answers to no social media algorithm. Coming strictly on Josh Alger's recommendation, he’s either a hidden golf savant or a pure pace-of-play menace.
John Troupes | 8 Hcp | Off the Grid
Operating in the shadows with zero social media, John lets his 8-handicap iron play do the talking. Arriving late only adds mystique before he tees it high and wrecks the scorecards.
John Wood | 3.8 Hcp | Facebook Profile
John brings a lethal 3.8 handicap and an old-school Facebook profile. He plays precise, high-level golf while opponents frantically scroll his timeline for embarrassing photos to use as tee-box warfare.
Josh Alger | 10 Hcp | @jp_alger
Sitting on the single-digit bubble with a 10 handicap, Josh is primed for a breakout. Expect calculated course management mixed with high-risk hero shots the second someone dares him to carry water.
Kyle Peterson | 23 Hcp | @kylepeterson23
Carrying a 23 handicap makes Kyle a dangerous net-score weapon and match-play nightmare. He’s here for laughs, drinks, and the inevitable moment he wildly outplays his handicap.
Luke Bowling | 14 Hcp | @lukebowling
Luke keeps his ball far out of the gutters. Armed with a steady 14 handicap, he brings a balanced, reliable game capable of anchoring any pairing under pressure.
Patrick Carey | 8.4 Hcp | @pcarey64
Patrick's mystery status is replaced by a sharp 8.4 handicap. With his single-digit threat exposed, Captains Casey and Kyle will sprint to draft his clutch putting and pristine Instagram aesthetic.
Patrick Davey | 1 Hcp | @pdavey92
Boasting a terrifying 1 handicap, Patrick Davey plays a different sport than the rest of us. While others pray for clean contact, Patrick casually hunts pins and forgets what bogeys feel like.
Patrick Delehanty | 13 Hcp | @pcdel617
Patrick rocks a 13 handicap and a tech-upgrade handle. He can upgrade his game instantly, switching from weekend hacker to local pro right when opponents think they have him beaten.
Ryan Steffens | 11 Hcp | @steffens412
Rolling in hot with a sharp 11 handicap, Ryan is the ultimate late-arrival threat. He can strut straight onto the 1st tee, lock into a picture-perfect swing, and wreck his opponent's game plan immediately.
Ryan Wolfe | 18 Hcp | Off the Grid
Operating off the grid with zero digital footprint, Ryan is the true "Lone Wolfe." His solid 18 handicap and lack of social media make his secret golf tech a complete mystery to opponents.
Tyler Suite | 10 Hcp | @tyler_is_suite
Sitting at a clean 10 handicap, Tyler's swing is guaranteed to be as suite as his name. Expect high-quality ball striking mixed with even higher-quality trash talk.
Zack Bowling | 15 Hcp | @bowling.zack
The second half of the Bowling dynasty, Zack brings a crafty 15 handicap to Pinehurst. He works his way around hazards aiming for straight lines and clean strikes—no spin spares needed.
