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.
