I haven't watch much of that Tour much before.

But Sunday had some great drama and really good golf.

Some of those guys can really pound the ball out there.

Saw a lot of Envroll Putters and PXG presence along with Srixon.

And with it being Football season, watching golf is on the back burner.

I know there is a lot riding on this for these players

But, pace of play was funeral as player walkd away after painstakingly setting up over a straight 3 footer for the 4th time.

I had to change the channel

I love the KF tour. The line between those guys and a consistent 120 player on tour is razor thin.

I agree, very nice course.

And it was awesome to see Westmoreland get his card after serving 5 years in the Air Force.

A lot of the guys are better, which is a problem for the Tour. 50 year olds using 300 cut exemptions and we can't watch the next generation on TV. Korn Ferry plays for less than the Champions Tour.

LIV will pick off at least one of these budding stars for that reason

I was so surprised when I saw Nick Lindheim get his card. He was our pro in a tournament and that fricker was horrible. He had 3 putters I his bag and was lost. He was about as personable with our group as a stop sign.

You mean like the LIV Players that want to come back and use their past tournament champion status ?

Most 50 year olds go to the Champions Tour like Fyruk and Els.

No, I mean guys like JJ Henry and Bo Van Pelt

None of the guys listed above used a 300 cut exemption

Where/when did you play with him? He played with our group in the Lourdes Foundation tournament last year before the Chitimacha open. Thought he was a nice guy, was helping us out and very friendly. His caddy was really cool too. He didn't blow me away by any means compared to some other KF guys I've played with, but he was very steady, hit a lot of fairways and greens.

He told us that all KF tour players are required to do pro/ams for every tournament. I can imagine that gets old when you are just trying to grind and focus on your game for that week. Sometimes they may not be 100% into the pro/am vibe on a particular week.

In case you haven't figured out, everyone TDTOM meets is an a-hole... And you know what they say about that

The PGA tour canceled the Lake Charles Championship Korn Ferry event and the Champions Tour Rapiscan Systems Classic at Grand Bear. Le Triomphe still has their event for 2023.

To be fair, if I had 3 putters in my bag, I probably wouldn't be the most conversational person on the golf course either.. Obviously things aren't going great.

Nobody has ever been a bigger arse on the course than Curtis Strange. He didn’t talk to me or my customers during the whole Pro- Am round.
