One of the things we want to do in this blog is stay up to date with what’s happening with our staff players. I thought it would be a good idea to dedicate a post to each player. This post will cover Chris Carroll.

Chris currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia but he travels the country playing on all types of tours. We’re really excited to have him on board to help us promote Basic Golf.

Basic Golf  now sponsors 3 mini tour players and one amature player. Chris Carroll  has been with us for a year now and we love having him on board. He’s a very consistent player with a ton of potential. Check out this video that I took of him practicing. We were at the TGAA Tour  Championship in Primm Valley, NV on Feb. 16th. Chris won that 2 day event! As soon as we can, we’re going to compile his stats here. In the mean time, check out this video and the gallery images we have of him as well.
