Just the love and support from your Mom and Dad gives you a boost. I hope you get there and just know you have another fan. Grind it!
This guy is a true inspiration, been following his story for a couple years. He’s also a legend out in the Phoenix area because he’s so nice to everyone he comes across
What a cool episode about Joe and his family. Been following and rooting for him for a couple years now, and hope he can continue making a career in golf. Nice job on another great episode, team!
Outstanding work once again great to hear the real stories in golf
This is so great! Can't wait to see him break thru!
Would love to see African Americans finally find success in professional sports!
She didn’t sell the real estate to a white real estate broker. She sold it to the highest bidder. Race had nothing to do with it.
The real question is: does Joe hook?
Living in the area, I am hopeful that Joe makes it in professional golf. He has a very good family structure and his very humble.
I got introduced to Joe Hooks from Breaking Sawgrass. All the best to him and all of the people grinding to achieve their dreams.
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome episode! Very captivating. Well-made all around.
Great Story Keep Grinding
We love being a part of Joe's Journey! Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store!!
Looking forward to the next episode!
So good
What a name for a pro golfer
What a name for a golfer LOL
Honestly “The Grind” series is way more enjoyable than Full Swing. I can relate to these guys, not guys who fly around in private jets trying to add an 8th zero onto their bank accounts
Okay, Fire Pit Collective, here's a test to see if you read comments. What is Joe Hooks doing with a Harold Varner III-embroidered suitcase?
Great series. Sad to see him point out the color of the people in the real estate deal. "White land owner, white real estate agent". Playing the race card.
