Golf - classic or dud

The fact that there is no player interaction only increases the enjoyment of the game for me. Sublime and no jock0's around to spoil your day.

golfing with the boss=dud, which is why almost nobody does it.

My husband streaking across golf courses at sunrise in the early 70's=classic.

Miniture Golf- A good time for druken teenagers on a Saturday Night. Watch where your standing at the ramp over water hole, I was hit with a flying ball and got a bruised collar bone. It was funny till the booze wore off...

Classic Allis - Hay exchange from yesterday;

Allis (lamenting Seve's withdrawal due to being rubbish now): 'I'm afraid there aren't too many things you get better at as you get older'.

Hay: 'Sweeping?'.

today they showed a bunch of CLIPS together [highlights, perhaps] with some krazy 'dance' music over the top.

one commentator: is that the sort of music you like to dance to?

another commentator: no, actually. I'm more of a gavotte-merchant.

I have an inkling that the another one was allis. if so: AllyC is OTM.

and the end of the open yesterday was rather thrilling

Allis: A mention to Mrs [x] who's just about recovered now from the shock of the burglary. I hope they catch the culprits soon.
Hay: Terrible. [Proceeds to say something about appropriate capital punishment to apply when they are caught]
Allis: Ooh no, surely a bit of flogging first. So the punishment lasts longer.
Hay: Oh yes, of course.

i hit golf balls this week. i have more natural ability at it than most other things that involve hitting balls. fun. and v. satisfying when you actually get it up in the air and far away. though i usually don't get quite as much distance as others. dunno if that's a strength thing or a technique thing (or the stella i had?). not too much exercise if you're just driving, though.

(we never heard of Africa in America, btw. TS: chatty, bubbleheaded non-news v. snide content.)

I've started playing again recently too and my handicaps gone down from a 14 to about an 11/10 - played ardeer and carded an 84 (an unecessary 7 [!!!], and three unecessary 6s) but shoulda been a 79. that is playing to handicap I guess (it was 14) but I reckon markers would have given me the 7 and 6s as 5s (taking into account the rest of my card.)

I love golf.

soft hands!

do you like it? do you play? are you watching wentworth? will you play golf with me?

let's play golf

Yay!

Lots of changes in elevation: classic.

He wore a cap at last year's Presidents Cup, for which players ARE paid.
Cantlay also refused to attend the gala dinner earlier in the week and, along with close friend Xander Schauffele, is sitting is a separate area of the team dressing room.

he's taking a brave stand against this woke golf bullshit

9&7

Cantlay played out of his skin to get the US winning that last session: 3-1.

Five behind

Shane Lowry has been outside enough Offaly nightclubs at 2 in the morning to know how to get a lad in a taxi and defuse a situation efficiently. This is experience https://t.co/871O2KS9bJ

Lowry A/S Spieth (16)
1UP Fleetwood v Fowler (15)
MacIntyre A/S Clark (14)

kind of agree with cantlay, but also he's made $10m this year so fuck off

maybe he should have just turned down the invitation rather than show up and be pissy

I was with a grade 2 class in Listowel, Ontario, today, and one of the boys was Corey Conners' nephew (brother of his mom). "He's rich, you know"--he laughed. (Also said his uncle had won a million dollars when he won the Masters; I said I didn't think so but let it go--I don't doubt that he won a million somewhere.)

ok so do they pump fake bird noises into these broadcasts or are they like mic'ing up the birds in the trees

if 65 guys are under par, your 'major' isn't hard enough

Birdoes birdies birdies

What the hell

God has a plan

Awesome.

I went to Valhalla for the PGA Championship in 2000, when Tiger outdueled Bob May to win it. (I was not there on the final day.)

Anyway, it was a very difficult place to get into and out of even then. Amazing that in the 24 years since, they haven't prioritized creating new (private, when necessary) access for, at the very least, the golfers and other key people involved with large events.

Not mentioned in this thread is that a guy going to work at the course today was hit and killed by a bus while he was walking from his car to the entrance.

The police write-up of Scottie Scheffler's arrest is a work of genius: "Detective Gillis’ uniform pants, valued at approximately $80, were damaged beyond repair."

lowry putting for the record low round in major history

lil nervous on that stroke maybe.. still not too shabby

Good to see Scheffler is human

But two 62 scores is not great

After winning the 2020 U.S. Open, DeChambeau celebrated his victory at Trump National Golf Club Westchester with Eric Trump.[65] Following the 2021 United States Capitol attack and the PGA of America's decision to remove the 2022 PGA Championship from Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, DeChambeau had the Trump logo removed from his bag. He said, "It's unfortunate and it is what it is and I understand it. At the end of the day, whatever [the PGA of America’s] moves are, they are. I really don't have a comment".[66] DeChambeau played a round of golf with Donald Trump two months later.[67] He also played with Donald Trump, alongside Eric Trump and Dustin Johnson, in a pro-am round at the 2022 LIV Golf Bedminster event. He said afterwards, "It was an honor. I mean, anytime you get to play with a president, whether past or sitting, it's just an honor, no matter who it is."

That was a fun final round. Xander had to earn it and that final putt was about as close as you can get to missing. Insanely clutch approach with the ball at knee level and standing in the sand.

Brysons 17th hole is just about the craziest thing youll ever see

Great finish.

narrative wrote itself as schauffele started to wobble

the up and down finish to win was superb
