Just a husband & dad broadcasting (mostly) golf for a living. Priority is always the former, but the latter is fun too. I wrote a nerdy book also. 🔗

For comparison’s sake, Eric Cole was -8.45 in the first round at Cognizant yesterday. (shot 79)
All things considered, I don’t think it was that bad of a debut.

My youngest, who is 22, is taking his Player Ability Test this morning in Sarasota in his quest to be a member of the PGA of America. Any of my club pro pals have good stories to share about their own PAT experiences (close calls, successes, fails, other player tales? Let’s go!!

Serious idea to make LIV a more compelling product.
Eliminate (or significantly cut) the individual purses and put it all in the team results. Make these guys hit shots to make money for others.
If it’s truly about the team element (it doesn’t feel like it), go all-in on team.

The community, of course, cares who plays. Everybody wants to see the best. But you know what? They also don't really care.
They are going to celebrate somebody who wins. Do it with a smile. And change lives in their community.
And the winner will make $1.3 million.

Guys can't play every week. That's a double-edged statement...

We can aspire to reward the best athletes in our sport AND find a way to do so where everybody profits.
Will it happen? Probably not. The current sports landscape is driven by driving money to the top.

The amount of legitimate people who cover golf reacting to the Morikawa video snippet without first thinking ‘hmm, I wonder if the ball moved to there and he is legally moving it back,’ is a wonderful social media case study.

I’m going with option 2 and I don’t think it’s close for me.
I’m not going to 4-putt any greens, and hitting every GIR means that is a round with no penalty strokes.
Mistake avoidance is far better with option 2.

The loudest and most influential voices reacted in the moment as if officiating is broken, that they had done their jobs poorly, and probably worse from fans/others.
And they got it right.

This is a key distinction. Is there a circumstance where I could hit a PW 140? Yes.
But, if I am answering how far my stock PW goes, it’s probably 125ish.
I’m surprised to see so many people say 140+ is their distance, which would be standard for ~80% (??) of Tour pros.

Rose is 110th on Tour in distance this year, slightly below average.
The average driving distance in 1980, presumably the best (only) time to look at pure persimmon numbers, was 256.
So, is the ball the additional 35 yards here? Could it be technique & fitness advancements too?
