    Only really follow fball and bball, but have to think college hoops would be at the very top.

    Decent shape. I do drink during the round and due to the heavy drinking clearly playing a part in my shitty back 9 play, the past few rounds I have nursed a beer or two through the entire round with lots of water thrown in. And I'm cart riding.

    I think I need to hit the range and work on the "golfing muscles" being in better shape. I am not in great shape on my own but I should be able to manage 18.

    I think people over estimate how often the college players are playing their “home course”...I know Alabama’s players have pretty much unlimited access to all the country clubs in the area. They train and practice at the UA facilities but play rounds at the nicer country clubs courses. It’s still an unfair advantage for the home team but probably overstated. :twocents:

    Listened to club pro guy do a rapid fire q&a with kisner and one question was can you name 4 women’s golfers. Kisner said no. Then he asked for two. No again. Finally he asked for just one and kisner said no again.

    And this is a very real problem with the LPGA. This is why their players resent the female Instagram golfer generation because their own Tour has done jack shit to market them beyond the run of the mill stuff.

    Here's the problem with the LPGA....

    Why watch that tour when you can watch players who are better in every facet on the PGA tour?

    Why watch college football if the NFL is better in every way?

    Granted, I don’t agree with my retort in any way. But it does go against your point well. The college game is far more entertaining to me than the pro one when it comes to football. Nothing about women’s golf is entertaining to me, other than the new trend of playing awesome classic golf courses that the men are now too long for.

    Because the NFL is not better than CFB. As you weirdly stated in the same post. Maybe that just means your example was poor and I was right. :idk:

    So is it a hot take to not mind watching the women play? Obviously the skill level on the PGA is far greater but the women are still pretty damn talented and it’s like Andy Johnson always says, it’s a far more relatable game they play. There are plenty of top tier American players to pull for too. I will obviously choose the Memorial this weekend over the women’s US Open but will definitely tune in at some point. Given the choice I’m taking LPGA over the Champions Tour every time

    the NLU episodes with LPGA golfers are usually more revealing and anything-goes than their male counterparts (at least the ones I listened to with Danielle Kang and Allison Lee + Bronte Law.) Even just those 2 episodes made me more interested in sticking with LPGA coverage for a few minutes (or more) as opposed to flipping right past it. They aren't lacking for interesting people on tour.

    Your argument was that the players are better in every facet, which also exists in football. Not that the sport was better, which is now what you’re saying.

    Should he or his playing partners be impervious to slow play penalties?

    I’m pretty sure on average every Tour player is put on the clock roughly two times in a season. Very few actual penalties come from it though. This is normal and not a big deal.

    It was a finished thought from a discussion not had here.

    Being put on the clock for falling behind a group that includes Jordan "Talk to everything in my bag and waste an hour doing it" Speith and Rory who has retee'd twice after losing drives and being wayward AF is ridiculous.

    Tiger is not a slow golfer, Rose and Bryson are playing slow as fuck. Rose took almost 2 minutes to hit a shot from the FW a hole or two ago.

    Jason Day is the worst. Hold on a second. Let me visualize this standard approach from 150 yards. Wasted 1 minute. Into the bunker. You deserve it. Fake ass vertigo faking look at me fuckstick.

    Well the one thing wrong with the rule is that the entire group is put on notice instead of singling out individual players. That said, the penalties become individual so I don’t see it as that big of a deal.

    And the fines incurred for too many bad times are a mere bag of shells to these guys, to the point where they literally laugh about them to the media.

    Let me look at what I got going on work wise. Those nights are tough because I play in a weekly work league usually on Monday or Tuesday so I generally try to make up time the other night (depends on the person I’m playing). Are you still here all week? It’s lucky that course sits up a little, a lot of that area has been under water lately

    Hits a shot and it lands in the fairway and takes a hop forward and land in someone else’s pitch mark as the fairways were wet. He claimed that when his ball hopped forward it hopped high enough to create a second pitch mark inside this other one so he wanted relief for an embedded ball. Argued it for like 7 minutes (saw a video earlier but can’t find it now) and even got a second official involved before they told him to play on

    The officials watched PGA Tour Live replays and kept saying “there’s no way a hop like that could create another pitch mark” and I completely agree that he was in the wrong

    Article I read said 10 minute delay. Called over a camera man and insisted the rules official watch a replay. Didn't get the answer he liked so he called over another official. Tried to have that official watch the replay but she told him to fuck off.
