I hope it's better with a crowd than it is without - and as for the "special sand" nonsense from Horschel.... "I can't tell you where the sand is from but there's only one other place in the world...." The word is it's Augusta sand, do they have their own personal quarry or summat.... 
Anyway - there's a TGL thread somewhere - we might be better moving the discussion there cos proffesional golf this is not.

I hope it works - I'm all for innovating the game - but I fear it will be aimed directly at the US market and presented as such. Sky signing a broadcast deal means it's going to be broadcast to a limited audience - so they've taken it away from the younger audience straight away.
It'll definitely pull a crowd of loyalists but I've yet to see anything about it that will make it interesting. Golf panto.....

So a media deal now is a bad thing ?
It’s quite interesting from someone who is very much in favour of trying different things that you are very negative about it
I wonder if it’s because who is doing it as opposed to the concept
Simulator is very popular right now and this has the ability to actually encourage more people to watch the sport because it’s something that is different

Just read that Will Zalatoris and Cameron Davis managed to play each others ball yesterday at the Sentry tournament in Hawaii. They played their 3rd shots on the par 5 15th and noticed the mistake on the green. They then returned to the proper location and played their 5th shots. This cost a lot of money as Davis would have got £572,000 without the penalty but only got £328,00. Zalatoris got £131,000 instead of a potential £226,000.

Tiger Woods wins 10 million dollars in the PIP. Time they scrapped that, it's a bad look given the season Scheffler had.

I'm guessing they were both Titleist 1 with a black dot. Lot of them around.

. I have a collection of different makes so that I always use something different to my PP. They could learn a thing or two

Would have thought you would be a fan of players being given a lot of money based on their name

Morikawa with a phenomenal score of 32 under par. Still not good enough to win.
Kapalua, much like a links, was defenceless without any wind. Course seemed a bit softer this year, I heard the commentators say there had been a lot of rain before the tournament.

Par 5's are a joke for these guys, I remember DJ nearly holing out on a par 4 a few years ago, now they all drive close to the green, chip in eagle or give me birdie.
Would much prefer to see 10 under win on a difficult course.

Agree. A birdie fest gets boring. Kapalua is designed to be played in the trade winds on the coast of Maui. When there’s no wind and the course is soft the fairways are just massive and it becomes ridiculously easy for these guys.

Like so many courses (TOC being the saddest example), Kapalua simply wasn't designed to be played by modern professionals using modern equipment. Wind only partially conceals the problem.
