    It's mostly a horses for courses line of thinking than match play. He just plays really well at the course, and the reason why the Stoolies need to understand that he isn't a Ryder Cup player. He isn't some match play wiz, he just likes this course

    My next door neighbor is leaving The Honors as GM and taking the GM job at Winged Foot. He’s pumped with this being their Centennial and with the US Open returning in 2028. His dad, his next door neighbor is GM at Chattanooga G&CC. It’s a family thing ha.

    I know he got shit for a lot of years for being on every commercial and not backing it up with wins, but I’m cheering for this Rickie resurgence. Not advancing, but beating Rahm and Mitchell is still a nice wk. Wanted to see him at Augusta. Getting close

    I don't understand why there's a two-way tiebreaker. These guys played a match against each other. We know who deserves to go through

    What are the tiebreak rules? One group had 3 guys finish with the same amount of points.

    No tiebreakers at all. Same points = playoff regardless

    On three people it makes sense, on two I don't get it. Make their head-to-head count more

    I am currently on a golf trip with a couple of members. Sounds like the majority of members aren’t going to miss him and actually happy to see him go. The assistant that is leaving to go to Merion is the opposite

    I get the feeling when around him he’s not much of people person. He’s very quiet and not outgoing or gregarious which is atypical for a person in that position. Also interesting to me is that level of turnover for The Honors. It always appeared from the outside to be extremely insulated from change. I talked to his wife yesterday and she expressed his excitement for leaving while also adding his sometime frustration at the way as GM he was more part of a triumvirate than the head of the snake. His kids were pretty awful so my wife and our kids aren’t super upset (as long as someone worse doesn’t move in).

    Apparently the assistant was torn about leaving but it is Merion and he interned there a while back.

    Had a little match today. On the front my ball was attracted to every water hazard. 2 down thru 8. 2up after 12. Missed short putts on 13/14 to keep him in it. Lost 15/16. Made 15 footer on 17 to go 1 up and then did it again on 18 to win 1 up.

    The most insane pin locations I’ve see. For a normal day of golf. Multiple times balls went just past the pin and off the green on putts.

    One good hole today in the skins game. Why is it so hard to be consistent at this game?

    I wouldn't want a match play major but I'd much rather watch the Fed Ex Cup get decided by match play than the current format. Make it the top 8 or even just the Final 4 and you're basically always guaranteed name guys competing for 15 million

    We need to make East Lake a cut/match play event.

    30 qualify as they do now. Play two stroke rounds without the bullshit giving strokes format. Make a cut.

    Remaining 16 play match play.

    I think WGC's as a whole are going away, and any event that isn't willing to be flexible and adhere with the elevated event framework is going to be at risk.

    Another example, Pebble has no interest in ditching the Pro-Am aspect so we've seen that event continually get diminished.
