    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    We have a similar shortened hole at the moment. 500 yard par 5, but we have been playing it off the forward (ladies) tee this year which is only 380 yards. It's up hill so usually plays longer than 500 yards, but off the forward tees I can drive it over the crest of the hill. Now I know what a...

    The US is by far the biggest market for golf in the world. It’s bigger than all the countries you listed combined. Taking a tournament away from the US would reduce its overall popularity and appeal.

    The way you shamelessly push your agenda and manipulate facts is quite pathetic really. Liv is owned by the Saudis and under their control. DPWT is not owned by DPW and not under the control of DPW, it’s just a sponsor. Can’t you see the difference? What financial backers of the tour have...

    Realistic targets...

    If you’re already making 6-7 pars a round, with lessons and practice you can improve your ball striking and consistency and get to 15-16 pars per round. Remember, you’re only 8 rounds away from scratch. Maybe a YouTube channel documenting your improvement journey is the motivation you need.

    I guess he goes wherever the appearance money is greatest. Following the cash is working for him at the moment, and he added star power to the event in Qatar. The rest of the leaderboard was largely anonymous.
