Team Tennessee had their second practice round preparing them for the 2026 PGA HOPE Secretary’s Cup that will take place on May 11, 2026. We would like to welcome our new member to the team, Erik Dines, as he will join the team to compete!

Our day began at the prestigious Honors Course.... Head Professional Skylar Thompson kicked things off with a tour and a deep dive into the club’s rich history. After a focused range session and a 9-hole practice round, the team enjoyed a fantastic lunch provided by the club. A huge thank you to Henrik Simonsen, Skylar Thompson, and the entire Honors Course staff for their incredible hospitality!

From there, we headed to the UTC Development Center to gear up. The team is officially locked in and looking the part thanks to our generous partners. This year’s “swag pack” included:

• Sun Mountain & Pukka: New golf bags and hats (shoutout to Paul Branlund!)
• 423 Customs: Custom ball markers, alignment sticks, and divot tools (thanks, Paul Mason!)
• Imperial: Hoodie and t-shirt
• Callaway: New golf balls and gloves (courtesy of Doug Schoerke)

The preparation is hitting its stride and the team is ready to represent. Let’s go, Team Tennessee!

Next stop: Oregon.

Five of our PGA Professionals will travel to Bandon to take on the PGA Professional Championship at the legendary Bandon Dunes Golf Resort from April 26–29.
