LaFlarian OF THE MONTH- TYLER VICKERY
To know LaFlare Golf is to know T-Vick. Whether you’ve talked to him while he’s soaking up the vibes at the check-in table or seen one of his legendary “Yo What Up” moments, it’s impossible to be a part of LaFlare Golf without interacting with the Global Phenomenon himself.
A self-taught 14.5 handicap golfer with the most compact backswing on tour, Vickery often chastises (in good fun) his fellow LaFlarians who have taken lessons. His individual skill set may not place him amongst the tour’s most talented golfers, but his unmatched enthusiasm and positive energy brings out the best in his teammates. Ever the consummate playing partner, LaFlarians have nothing but love and respect for the 5x Drip or Drown Champion.
