Its astounding that he thinks he's above having to qualify because he took a massive bag of cash and has done well competing against 10 serious players and 43 washed players coasting to retirement.
I already have 2 Scotty Camerons I like - an old school blade and an older mallet. I wasn’t looking for a new putter, but won a new Super Select Newport. Any thoughts on whether to exchange it? Should I swap into a phantom? Are they much easier to putt with?
Ricky Barnes is playing in our member guest this weekend. Talking about a middle of Someone invited Ricky Barnes to ours this weekend…and it’s very middle of the road Alabama club
First day of the member guest didn’t go as planned. Good news is I played great and shot a 75. Bad news is my partner that gets all the strokes not so much. Time to run the table in our two matches tomorrow and be in contention on Saturday. In non related golf the atmosphere and free goods were great.
Officially out of the running. Had a good round with everything except the putter. I could have done a better job closing my eyes and putting. Time to just have fun in the last round tomorrow and then cheer for my buddies in the shootout.
Thought we were out of it once after day one and then rolled a team 7-2 to start day two. We were up 6-0 to start too.
I won longest putt at an outing yesterday on an eagle putt I started so far left my buddy said "oh my god that's awful" immediately after I hit it
Can’t even make the cut at his hometown event with fans sacrificing their elbows for him Man is washed
I know I’m late to the party, but man, I kind of hate ZJ after watching Full Swing. his roster decisions were 100% about vibes and the boys club vs actual results.
He was a couple back of the lead when I posted that. He bogeyed two of the next three to fall out of it.
David Puig also invited to PGA from LIV, but he might actually deserve it. He’s gone the Niemann route and played wherever they’ll let him
There’s probably some procedural behind the scenes crap the LIV guys didn’t fill out in time and are blaming it on the PGA
Played with a doctor from work(randomly) and he was decked out in head to toe gfore stuff. team true all the way though.
Snuck out of work on Friday and played the north course for the first time at my local muni with a buddy. Shot a 95 which included not driving it past the women’s tees on one hole (triple bogeyed).
Rory not going back to policy board Cantlay blocking any deal with PIF and probably Rory on the board good thread summary. It all sucks
Played Santa Anita GC today and was even at the turn. Made four bogeys in the next seven holes, then holed out from 50 yards on 17 for an eagle. Bogeyed the 18th for a three over 74.
Big picture, these are challenging times for golf television — with sagging ratings and negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund stretching into their 12th month. The sport’s few TV broadcast partners, particularly NBC, have received biting criticism from fans over what is viewed by many as an overly commercialized product. And smaller audiences and a prolonged battle between the PGA Tour and LIV might send the commercial load even higher. In some ways, this is the most damning piece of evidence against NBC in 2024: Why would it want to invest in golf right now? Why would any broadcaster? When I posed that question to Flood, he grinned. “I’m a Boston boy — Brady and Belichick, when they won their six Super Bowls, what did they say? Do your job,” he said. “We’ve gotta give Bill the weapons. We’ll give him Brady, we’ll give him Welker, we’ll give him Gronk. We’ve got to do our job.”
