We let him play through since he was by himself and I proceeded to watch him have the best round of golf of his life apparently. Every tee box he’d crush it and the stare at his driver and shake his head ??
Not relevant here but just a funny story
How did you see all of his tee shots if he was a single when you let him through? Seems like he should've been a few holes ahead of your group.

It's one thing to hit into someone in the fairway. You think they are out of range and underestimate the club you picked. It can happen. Hitting into someone on the green is deliberate. That is the clear target of the shot. I am not sure what I would've done in that situation, but you were right to be furious.

Only 2 tournaments remaining for a US Open spot. AK & Elvis Smylie in the running currently, trying to hold off Detry who is currently #62 on OWGR.
That is actually an interesting wrinkle. Is there anyone that is currently exempt that could potentially just to a top 3 spot and ruin it for those that are not exempt?

From the 1930's till the 1980's it seems as if we had so many advancements in technology, communication, travel, entertainment, exploration, medicine and so on....
Building we went from Art Deco, to Mid Century Modern, to Post Modernism... What is it now?
From the 1980's we've had many advances, especially in technology but not as as fast and abundant as those last 50 years...
I don't think I disagree with your premise about peaking as a society, but I do disagree on technology. The internet took off in the 90s and has completely changed how the world works. Technology has certainly advanced faster than the 30s to the 80s.

This feels like all of those LIV rumors about players leaving but the exact opposite in that it's anti-LIV. It would be odd to just shut down in the middle of the season.
Eh, this is what I expected. It's not as much fun to discuss if the result is status quo.

This isn't as bad as I imagined it. I thought he was going to literally think it was Barack because he is senile. That guy does look like Obama.

The PE group that funded the PGA is not going to get back anywhere near what they put into it. The PGA had money problems and needed money to pay players to stop LIV defections.
There hasn't been any added value to the PGA tour to make up for the original financial issues, they just got cash to make up the budget shortages. The modern PGA tour model is still an issue.
Well, if that is the case, with LIV potentially going away, they will no longer have the irrational actor distorting the actual worth of a golfer. Maybe Rolapp will get purses back to being more reasonable.

Goes to show you that subsidies and bailouts are ok with with people if it affects something they like or need.
If we are going down this road, wouldn't LIV be the one with the subsidy since a government entity is funding it? The PGA Tour got money from private equity. It's not some charity or play thing. That group expects returns, unlike PIF. Well, unlike PIF until now.

I still find it funny that if that PE group didn't jump in and bail out the PGA, they would have had to merge with LIV at the minimum to survive.
Good thing they did, because then the PGA Tour would be in a pickle with this potential shutdown from the PIF.

If we are nominating Morrises, it's Young Tom. He won 4 just like his Dad, but they were all in a row. They had to buy a new trophy because he got to keep the belt.

accountable and make them earn their way back.
They'll probably be treated just like Reed. No equity and they can get back on the tour through other methods. Hatton will go earn it on the DP World Tour. Rahm will have to wear it and pay his fine to get back to the DP World Tour. Smith might just retire to Australia. Bryson might go full YouTube Golfer.

I guess. But if the rumor is complete bullshite, do the executives have to send out calming messages every time something like this happens?

Eh, I don't look into that one way or the other. Seems that they haven't been told anything, and Sergio is just saying that he only knows what Yasir said before the season started.

If this is true, Rahm and Bryson turning down the one-time return offer from the PGA Tour just got more interesting.

Train tickets from Penn Station to Met Life that usually cost $12 will now run you $100.
I saw that mentioned in an article and it confused me. I didn't realize city governments could increase prices of public transportation due to demand. Maybe that was naive of me.
It's pretty crazy that I have no intention of attending one World Cup game. If you would've told that to 2016 me, I would have said you are crazy. Maybe the shittiest ticket in Houston will be crazy low closer to gameday.

I have been denied in the lottery for about 10 years now. I think if I ever got tickets, I might just skip the merch entirely. I am already just going to have mental images of the day in my head since phones aren't allowed. It wouldn't make sense to waste my small amount of time there in a line to buy a hat.

His wife looks super cute and natural and nowadays any girl that doesn't look like they were kicked in the mouth by a Clydesdale gets extra points in my book
There is an episode in the first season of Full Swing where they juxtapose Scottie and Brooks. Scottie and his wife are going out for coffee in Dallas and just seem like a very regular couple. They then show Brooks sitting in his wife's enormous closet, sitting on a fur swing while his plastic wife drones on about what clothes she is going to wear to her bachelorette party. Brooks has this far off look on his face like he cannot believe he is having this conversation. It just made me appreciate Scottie going for the normal (still extremely cute) girl over the "model" that will have him taking pictures of her the entire time they are on vacation.
