    US Masters 2024

    Random Masters thoughts: Brandel Chamblee & Greg Norman are both total 🔔🔚 To the guy that shouted "you're doing great stuff online" to BDC - totally agree, and I'm not annoyed he's leading at all Scottie Scheffler - "efficient" is right. Rarely follows a mistake with another McIlroy -...

    LIV Golf

    I think it depends at what point it resonates with you (or predisposition to LIV generally) or if the team element ever will; I wasn't bothered by it until Rahm & Hatton got together. Don't love the name, but like those guys so it's become more interesting - at least to me.

    US Masters 2024

    I always look forward to the Masters, overhyped for sure, but I am a sucker for that. Planning 5 bets I think, narrowed as follows (current thinking in bold): 1 Long shot from: K Bradley 175/1 or R Fox 125/1 (liked him on netflix, seems like a decent guy) 1 Mid shot from: L Aberg /W Clark /W...

    LIV Golf

    He doesn't go unless he's sure there's a deal coming so he cashes in twice. His business interests are far too entwined with the individuals behind the SSG investment and he stands to make a lot of money maintaining those relationships; similarly, SSG's $3b is an investment with returns...

    Is that true? If so, I'm starting a new company called Taylor Made this evening!

    Professional Golf 2024

    Imagine if Taylor Swift was there and dating Tiger - the needle would spin of its axis.

    LIV Golf

    Rory's opinions have changed because of the $$$ - any criticism aimed at the original defectors should now, in fairness, be levelled at him, especially as he now knows what is coming down in the line in the next few weeks and months. The PGAT and SSG deal is simply the gateway to greater Saudi...

    Rick Shiels and Bryson

    Definitely in the wrong job. I listened to the podcasts between Rick Shiels and BDS / Good Good / G Horvat and over the course of them there's quite an insight into his operation - can't remember exacts, but something like 12 employed now taking into account the various business avenues and...

    YouTubers.

    Tommy Fleetwood did a video with Horvat as straight up stroke play - Tommy played a shot as intended but didn't work out as intended; dropped another and played it slightly differently. Horvat duffed a chip, Fleetwood said to replay it..... they played their original balls out but sometimes...

    Can a Lady be a Club captian of the mens section

    Dungannon Golf in NI have had a lady Club Captain and also a President in recent years - both very effective and positive for the club. The club captain has to represent all club members (Seniors, Juniors, Ladies, Gents) so really should be the best person for the role.

    LIV Golf

    Go, stay.... in a way it doesn't matter, it's pretty clear now he came to the negotiating table and if a player of that stature is even considering it, Stefan's son and No Cap will also be asking for a number. Ultimately, he might stay, but in that case there will be damage to both...

    Roll Back Discussion

    Most sports try to move forward, Golf it seems is intent on taking backward steps. Course sustainability could be addressed by design, par amendments (a par 72 for mortals can be a par 69 for the elite), etc. Manufacturers have sold us all on the issue of distance, so hopefully there'll massive...

    LIV Golf

    There's 2 takeaways in that.... the one you point out, and the other being he gave them a figure. Not-so-bottomless and too-greedy-even-for-the-pif!

    2023 Professional Golf thread

    I can't find the round 2 leaderboard anymore, but from some comments on X, it looks like Lexi missed by either 1, 2 or 3 shots? Balionis commented she had a 6ft putt on the last to make the cut; other outlets said by 2 and the BBC boldly states she 'narrowly' missed the cut but the article...

    LIV Golf

    The other part of that pair being the 'supposed' world number 1.... who now with weakened PGAT fields no longer has to bring his A game week in, week out. The decision has been made, as it had to be, but the system has been disrupted and rightly or wrongly is now open to criticism or question...
