If you follow Ryan Johansen on social media, you know this guy loves the golf course. He’s on the tunes for the day, playing a mix of Nashville country hits and some classic rock to carry the group through the day.
“Joey” seems like he would be a ton of fun to hang out with any time of year but especially the off-season. He is an absolute must to add to the foursome who would be the life of the party all day long while effortlessly finishing with a 75 and leading the group into the clubhouse for the 19th hole.
A guy that takes great pride in every club that’s in his bag, I have to guess Johansen mixes his set and rocks some of the latest and greatest. He is probably a “new set every year” kind of guy except for his beloved Scotty Cameron putter. I’m going to guess PING G425 MAX Driver and fairway wood combo that he hits 310-325 yard bombs with and some Titleist irons.
I would have a ton of questions for Johansen. Still, I think I would stick to golf-related topics given his passion for the game and ask him what the top courses he has ever played are. Being from the BC area, I can tell you there are plenty of beautiful courses. I would also ask if he could win any major title on the PGA tour, what would it be, and why?
I can only imagine this would be an incredible day with some of my favorite Nashville Predators. Even though I would limp into the clubhouse with anywhere in the 90-95 range on my scorecard, it would not matter to me one bit.
While this would be an awesome foursome, I think after a thorough review, I need to be in on the annual Brent Petersen Golf Classic the team puts on and play “rover” throughout a ton of groups. I would love to chat with Filip Forsberg, Ryan Ellis, Mattias Ekholm. And yes, GM David Poile would be right at the top of my list for gentlemen I would love to spend some time with on the golf course.
As I daydream about how awesome of a day this would be, I wonder what your ideal group on the links would be with your favorite Predators if you are a golfer like me? Or who on the team would you like to hang out or share a meal with? Leave your comments and replies below and enjoy the rest of your off-season as the Predators gear up for an assuredly busy one.
