LaFlarian OF THE MONTH- Reid Elwood
The 2021 Tour Champ goes by the nickname “Wet Wet", which should tell you everything you need to know about the guy. A true LaFlarian at heart, Reid has been a mainstay near the top of the leaderboard since his winless 2020 campaign.
Reid has completed the Grand Slam of LaFlare Golf, winning every award offered in the league. Not only that, but he shocked the world and took home the Individual Title at the 2021 Condor Cup.
You never know what you’re going to get with Reid on the golf course. Might be a crazy outfit, might be a flamingo on his cart. Might be a 79, or it might be a round where he doesn’t keep a single tee shot in bounds. The element of surprise is one of the many reasons we love WET WET.

People are saying…
“The 2021 Tour Champ is known to hit bombs and is always a threat for the Most Lit Cart Award. If you’re fortunate enough to share a round with him, the forecast is always sunny with a chance of WET WET.”
— Brent Tittsworth
“Known as the wettest golfer on tour, it’s best to always bring a towel if you’re in his group.”
— Tyler Vickery
“A man of many shot shapes, just not the ones that stay in bounds. Reid is the only guy I know that can hit 7000 golf balls a day and say, ‘Wanna watch me swing really hard at this one?’ on 97% of them.”
— Tanner Dowland
“From his many Long Drive, Drip, and Most Lit Awards, Big Wet is guaranteed to be there representing LaFlare with pride.”
