Flourtown, Pa. – Jason Kelce shot his launch from the thick thickness next to a green in the ninth hole, in a round that presented more songs of “birds” than Birdies, and muttered a common chorus of most weekend golf warriors:
“Hey, that’s why I’m an amateur,” Kelce said.
Kelce could have obtained some golf tips from the dozens of fans who followed him after Humling Hole on Wednesday during A rare stop from PGA TOUR In the Philadelphia area.
The retired center of Philadelphia Eagles has tried in its First year of retirement To upload your golf game and reduce your score, taking the task of trying to put it in the hole as seriously as you opened them once on the offensive line. Kelce posted a video of his swing in Reddit this week And they asked readers, any person from professionals to casual players, for advice on how to improve.
“Jason Kelce here. Now that I have hung the tacos, I am trying to take my golf game seriously,” he wrote. “Yesterday I have uploaded 6 different angles of my swing from a session. Looking for any advice you can give me, especially in my backswing and monitoring.”
Kelce said the first comments were “crazy.”
“Some of these things are like things that other professionals have taken out and is a kind of generic things that everyone can use,” Kelce said. “But there have been some things so far that they have been like, ‘Santa Vaca, I never thought about that’. So I’m excited about it.”
Kelce – who retired after season 2023 After a 13-year race that happened completely with the Eagles, he played his role as a man of the people perfectly during a pro-AM ahead of the true championship. He took the time to answer questions from Benji Panzer, 14, a high school student who had credentials as part of a sports transmission camp in the area. Panzer asked Kelce about his “New Heights” podcast that fits with his brother, the closed wing of Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce.
“The players’ ability to connect directly to fans has never been greater,” Kelce told Panzer.
Kelce connected to many Eagles fans, signing everything, from aluminum beer bottles, t -shirts, golf balls and all kinds of eagles memories. He also accepted gifts, including a Kelly Green Eagles Koozie beer. A fan who called himself Phil T -shirt: do we mention that the tournament was close to Philadelphia? – He said he wanted to introduce Kelce to the awning of the Philis Nick Castellanos.
Kelce, 37, who with the wife and star of Kylie social networks, welcomed his fourth son Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce in March, refused to name her favorite golf course in the area, but seemed to enjoy the Fast Greens for the first time in the Wissahickon course of Philly Cricket.
“The course is in good shape,” he said. “It’s beautiful. All the boys we play with.”
“The boys” included PGA Stephan Jager and Shane Lowry professionals.
An un specified member of the group cut a ball to the crowd and hit the left hand of the spectator Hudson Mokrejs, 25, of Elverson, Pennsylvania, who needed a herd of ice on his flushed wrist.
“We were speaking in advance as, ‘Man, wouldn’t it be great to be beaten by Jason Kelce’s ball?’ And then he shot him on Green, ”said Mokrejs. “I was talking and suddenly I hear: ‘Look!’ He turned me around and hit me in my hand.
Kelce noticed that the serene golf atmosphere made more songs of “Go Birds” more than the popular song of “Eagles” that scores the Eagles struggle song.
“It’s very fast,” Kelce said. “The ‘Eagle-S’ have started halfway. Someone has to start it.”
You can expect to hear more from them in the field in golf events in the area.
The PGA 2026 championship will take place at the Aronymy Golf Club at Newtown Square and 2030 US Open is in Merion Golf Club.
“Philadelphia is an incredible golf center,” Kelce said. “There are many fans in the game. There are many incredible courses with a lot of history.”
Who knows? Thanks to social networks, Kelce the amateur golfer could be good enough to give some changes when he counts.
