Possibly not a popular take, but if you play tournament golf you shouldn’t mark your ball, within 5’ of the hole, with something the size of a poker chip or silver dollar. All in favor?
I never thought fan behavior at Pebble Beach in a US Open would raise an eyebrow, but today’s spectator environment has evolved into a yelling contest. Encouraging words are fine but disparaging and nonsensical ignorance have become all too common. Have fun but respect the game
Watched 10 min of LIV event past week. Saw DJ back off his putt 3 times because the music was too loud. Heavy bass shaking the bleachers. His caddy was holding up his hands asking the people on his through line to “stop dancing”. Surely world golf ranking points soon to come. 🙄
@townhallcom
Wasting time like this is exactly why our great country is falling apart. Crash dummies are fake. They are not a sex. Pete, on the other hand, proves every day why he’s not qualified to do his job. A true Dummy
So LIV players are all victims now? In what universe are you handed tens of millions of dollars because you’re good at a sport, but you feel hurt because the organization you turned your back on isn’t fawning over you? Maybe how they’re acting now is why nobody misses them 🤔
So many “up in arms” about Texas Rangers allowing 100% capacity. 38k attended. I’ve harped about this before but at what point can personal responsibility be restored? If you don’t want to go, don’t. It’s your choice. That’s called “freedom”, folks! We’ve been sheep long enough.
Until someone is actually penalized on the PGA Tour all of this slow play talk is useless. Whether you ride, run, walk, or crawl to your ball, you have 40 seconds to hit it...period. Be ready and pull the damn trigger when it’s your turn. Others aren’t out there to wait on you.
Andy had a drunk driver take away his strength in the left side of his body. He improvised to keep playing the game he loves. Presets his weight back and let’s it go. Kudos Andy!! ProAm
@BoeingClassic
Nobody, nobody hits their irons as well as Big Cat in the modern game. Shape, traj, distance control, placement, you name it, he’s still the best.

LIV getting OWGR points isn’t just about 54 holes and having a cut. Access to the Tour needs to be more open via a qualifying tournament and a local Q for each event. The entire tour can’t just be a Shark invitational and there’s no risk associated with participation.
Bryson on not getting OWGR points…It takes a certain level of entitlement and cluelessness to make this statement. They are O-7 in hitting any of the criteria.
Apparently since the $15 minimum wage has been adopted in NYC, business owners have had to cut staff and raise prices. Nobody saw this coming except anyone who understands basic math.

The Japanese have the most respectful culture, IMO, throughout the entire world. Very kind and happy people. We, as Americans, could learn a lot from them.
Wow, an Air Force vet calls Biden out for voting for the Iraq War
"We are wondering why we should vote for someone who voted for a war & enabled a war that killed thousands of our brothers & sisters?...Their blood is on your hands...My friends are dead because of your policies!"
I understand the argument for picking experience at Ryder Cups, but I sure would have liked to see what Xander, Kisner, or Horschel could have done this week. All good drivers of the ball and no scars of losing RC’s
Remember years ago,before cable and satellite tv, when you stayed up so late the tv networks would go off the air around 2am by playing the National Anthem? I wonder how many people would pitch a fit nowadays if that happened. This country has gone so soft and pc its mind blowing
I wonder if Gooch and Co. are going to now sue LIV since they didn’t get to play the Playoffs. I’m sure they were told the suspension wouldn’t hold up in court. That would be a ballsy play.
It would be quite the conundrum if the Memorial had one of their common massive rain storm today and the tourney had to be canceled after 54 holes. Rahm the winner? 🤔
This random fan just casually grabbed a club out of Rory McIlroy's bag and decided to get ready for a practice swing at the Scottish Open 😳
The fan was eventually escorted away by security.

How many divots a year do you have to play out of? It’s way less than people would think with all of this outrage. It’s an outdoor game and turf is inconsistent. Part of being a good ball striker is being adaptive and reading your lie, then executing the shot. Just play the game
For those clamoring for relief from divots, I'm reminded of the late Bruce Edwards when asked about the difference between Greg Norman and Tom Watson( he caddied for both). When Norman was in a divot he wanted relief, when Watson was in one he would say " Watch This"
This isn’t going to be a popular take but there are simply millions of people that simply disdain Trump so much that they will continue to vote for the Dems regardless of the mess

So they have video of Boebert making out in a dark theatre in less than 24 hrs but can’t figure out who left the 8-ball of coke in the West Wing? Politics is destroying the foundation of America. It’s absolutely disgusting
IMO nothing about this spat between Brooks and Bryson is doing squat to “Grow the game”! In fact, I think this childish back and forth by grown professional multimillionaires is a stain on the reputations of each and the respectfulness of the game.
Such a great round this morning with

and Wade Miley. Two great competitors but even better guys. Easy guys to root for.

Why does anyone take this seriously. She loves being on the soapbox when it fits her agenda but has nothing when a real question is asked. Giggles and hides like the Left.
For everyone raving about the improved pace of play at The Open, the slower speed of the greens cannot be overlooked. There is a huge difference in playing greens running 10 vs 12+.
The only thing I trust that comes out of Washington DC anymore is that the majority are lying. Dems and Reps. What a shit show of “elected leadership” from both sides. Their only motive is lining their pockets at the expense of American citizens. Disgraceful “representation”!
If the NCAA Men’s golf natty is any indication of the next generation of tour players, no course can be made long enough. Rolling the ball back is obviously way too late. The speed generated appears off the charts with these athletes.

Why is it that the Left has so many inept members that can’t abide by simple rules and are just so nasty, bitter, and condescending?
@LeaderMcConnell
get your act together and do your job
Every one of these guys jumping to the LIV tour saying how they get more time off to play less. Give me a frickin break. Enjoy having MBS as your boss. I get the guys in their 40’s but the 20 and 30 something’s? F me!
Reading the comments it is clear that many don’t understand the significance of 54 vs 72 holes, having a cut, and an open qualifying. Every one of the LIV players knows the difference and why those guidelines are important, yet they don’t care. They want their guarantees anyway.
LIV Golf needs World Ranking points. The OWGR needs LIV players to avoid irrelevancy. This doesn't seem that hard: LIV should go to 72 hole events with a cut (paying the players who M/C whatever it wants) and add a Monday Qualifier, which would be fun theater. Voilá!
Can you imagine being a kid walking up the 1st tee and seeing Big Cat is toting the bag of your competitor? I’d be like WTF? That’s a power play by TW jr. 🐐
I don’t care if it’s a 156 man field or 30, who wouldn’t watch to watch Tiger and Rory face off in the final group on Sunday? The current

Justin Rose is tied 2nd as well. Blow off the NFL tomorrow bc this 5 year winless, injury ridden drought by the 🐐may end.
I can’t even believe someone came up with this, and the country ran with it, thinking it’s “scientifically” safer. So laughable at what we were told to do, when looking back now.
Interesting how so many Republicans in Congress are denouncing what has gone on today in Washington, yet none of the Democrats spoke out against any of the riots, burning, violence, and looting throughout the country all summer. The hypocrisy is pathetic. That’s a wrap for me!

I never thought I’d see the day where elected American reps would put all other nations ahead of our beloved country. What they’ve done is absolutely disgusting. Worst of all, it’s all of our taxpayer’s money getting thrown away. DC is the filthiest swamp in the world.
Trump is totally missing the boat after the assassination attempt. He was given a sign from God to be the uniter and all he does is play petty politics and makes fun of Kamala’s incompetence. Be the serious candidate in speeches, not the narcissistic child.
So proud of this young man. Graduated Summa Cum Laude in Sports Communications from UK. Moving on to work for the Cincinnati Reds

now. The best is yet to come

What a pairing today

in Dallas.
@ANNIKA59
is truly one of, if not the best, ambassador in the game. Truly an honor and a fantastic day.
Can we please just ditch all the analytics, Task Force, Boys Club, the rest of the BS, and play our best players? Can’t worry about hurting player’s feelings. Also, JT was a stud. Practically played by himself all day.
Karine Jean-Pierre says "real wages are higher than they were just nine months ago."
Real wages have fallen at the fastest pace in 40 years under Biden.
Spectated for a few hours at the Players today. Fantastic crowds and the course looked impeccable. Surprising though how “slow” the game is to watch live. Glacial is the only word to describe it. Players...we ALL need to do better.
I walked for 2 days with Koepka, the
#1
player in the world, at the US Open. He was not only fast, less than 20 seconds to hit any shot, but he was downright hard to keep u with. Decisive, efficient, and respectful of his fellow players. Who says you can’t play well if fast?
How long does it take Tour players to hit a shot? Is playing fast a skill? These are the questions
@the_woke_yolk
dives into from his experiment at the 2019 U.S. Open.
Best quote about Tiger...when David Duval said that a few of today’s young players mentioned they would like to have played against TW while he was in his prime...”No they don’t”! Classic
The money is much better served going to charity or wildfire relief in Cali. They should make a designation on the last green to where it’s going, and not to their bank accounts where it’s not needed.

Hard to believe
@griffinflesch
turns 21 today. The time is flying by but I’m so thankful he’s always been by my side. I’m so proud of this young man. Love ya Griff
Bryson has learned how to drive it almost as long but infinitely straighter than the World Long Drive guys, yet maintain the finesse and proficiency of a Tour player. Seems like a pretty lethal combo that nobody has achieved before. Curious to see how this evolves
I’m so grateful to Nicklaus,Palmer,Player,Trevino, Watson,Weiskopf,Irwin,Norman,Wadkins,Floyd,Price,Kite,Azinger,Strange, and countless more for paving the way for the

Anyone arguing that the popular vote is how the Prez election should be decided going forward can unfollow now. Let’s let 3 out of 50 states decide the election, and one of them, Cali, is chock full of wing-nuts, NY a close 2nd.
Love when you’re sitting in a crowded area at an airport gate and a guy decides to sit one seat away and his business call, which is mostly cliches and tag words, needs to be heard by everyone within 100 ft. Walk away and get rid of the headphones Toolbag.
Congrats to the
@PGATOUR
for signing
@kornferrytour
for a 10 year term. I’d love to see the tour get back to its roots and make it drivable from start to finish and at least raise purses proportionately so guys can cover expenses with potential for decent income.
Rest In Peace Mr. Dan Jenkins. I will most certainly miss your sarcastic tweets during major championships. I will always appreciate your honesty and failure to succumb to the modern era of political correctness. A true legend.
I don’t care how fast you get to your ball. You can sprint, take a taxi, motorbike or crawl, but when it’s your turn, you have 45 seconds. Play by the rules
Have you ever wondered what’s in the green books the pros are reading before they putt? This is the 14th green alone. I get dizzy just looking at this. Hefty price tag as well.
Couldn’t be prouder of my Bro-in-law
@Skip_Kendall
getting his

card. Finished T-2nd after a second round 78. Rebounded with 64, 69. The guy is tougher than a $2 steak.
Can we please just move past the apologies for anything “spicy” the mics pick up during sporting events? It’s part of the action, the passion, and competitiveness. Fans love the close proximity. Hit mute if you’re offended.
