Hwaiting! The Jeong brothers are on an absolute tear to begin the Squolf 2025 League. Brian Jeong (T-1st) gave himself a healthy chance of making it into the JORN Cup before departing to the motherland by shooting a net 18 over at Los Lagos. Despite the fact that he is set to miss the next 2 majors, he has put himself in a comfortable position, securing a 1st place victory in the March Scramble and putting on a dominant performance alongside Alonso Sainz (9th) at the April Shamble with a net score of 73. Justin Jeong (T-1st) has been a model of consistency - finishing 5th or better at every single event thus far and is currently in 4th at Los Lagos with 6 left to play. The kid is a natural and despite already ridding himself of 11 mulligans, continues to exceed expectations. Three veterans- Cal Bridges (3rd), Kankshat Patel (4th), and Wesley Warren (5th)- round out the top 5.

The season is young and there is much, much more golf to be had before the ultimate JORNer lifts their trophy. Handicaps have been adjusted, rules have been changed, but one thing remains the same: golfing with your friends is a fucking blast. We all have our own ways of enjoying our time out there. Whether it’s taking a bottle of Hennessy to the face or lining up every one-footer, we all are out there to have a good time. For 5 hours we get to put our phones away, the troubles of life fade away, and we subject ourselves to a new kind of mental turmoil as we do our best to string together multiple good shots in a row.

As the season progresses and the pressure builds, the stakes for each event become more and more dire. A missed 5 footer only counts as 1 seemingly insignificant stroke on the scorecard, but it could mean the difference between JORNing or edging come September. This Sunday, the chance to etch your name in the Squolf history book continues.

Tilden Park Golf Club in Berkeley, California represents the first true challenge of the 2025 season. With a slope rating of 124, the steep elevation changes and undulating greens will frustrate even the most composed of golfers. Squolf’s May Major will be a 2 man best ball with a grudge match component: each team of 2 will compete in match play directly against the other twosome in their tee time. Your grudge match opponents will be determined via draft occuring at Tilden’s first tee box, only moments before the Major officially begins. Draft order is determined by reverse cumulative team ranking and is listed below.
