It’d need to be someone more interesting that Scheffler.

Think it just showed to me that the top elite level of golf really isn’t big enough to justify two different tours, both products are devalued.

I really don’t know what it is as he’s clearly a very very nice guy and he plays absolutely stunning golf but I just can’t warm to Scheffler.

I only rejoined as a member of a course a couple of years ago after a thirty year break from being a member. Not sure if it’s the same everywhere but one thing I noticed was when I joined thirty years ago, there was mandatory golf etiquette training covering a lot of different areas that anyone...

Confirmed my thoughts then, think quality of strike is more important than speed, for me at least.

Did some speed training last week as part of our parents group lesson last week. Not sure on the club speed but my starting point with the driver was 150mph ball speed and got up to 160 going all out. I wasn’t actually seeing that much distance gain though, I’m assuming due to attack angle and...

The ranking system has quite clearly changed quite a lot, that and that particular event has changed too as it’s now a designated event. It’s less about the overall volume though, more the variety.

It’s less about the top players, more the watchable players. It can’t be the case there’s the same number of top players as there was before though, there wasn’t twenty to thirty top players missing on a given week, which is pretty much what LIV has now. Even just five top players missing of the...

Completely agree with all of that. I watched it on Sunday and despite a few tries, I just can’t get on with the product. I’m not a fan of the shotgun start and the team side to me has to be match play for it to have any chance of working. It could be great if they did that and I thought Rory’s...

They’ve got quite a roster now, I just dislike the product too much to want to watch it still.

It was the latter I was thinking of and more for the bogey rating rather than the course rating, I just thought that given they’ll have the data, the averages could be used to spot if there are anomalies in the ratings and take it away from either being a course assessment or anecdotal to...

Right but that would give a better indication for slope rating than an assessment every five or ten years though wouldn’t it?

Ok cheers, that’s what I thought. I’m still not sure why they wouldn’t use real world playing data rather than an assessment for either given that exists now though!

As in the course that has a lower slope rating is in reality is much harder to shoot a decent score on. What I was checking is since when they did the initial assessments of the course and slope ratings, is any further reassessment done? I thought there was a load of criteria they used to...
