LIV has consistently tried to operate as if there is some untapped market share of golf fans that aren’t middle aged white men. They are a handful of out of touch rich old guys and Saudi Arabians trying to create a golf league for their made up caricature of a golf fan when they asked themselves “if there was a 23 year old golf fan that didn’t like traditional golf tournaments, what would they like?” And then they came up with those ideas themselves and ran with it.
It’s the “how do you do fellow kids” meme played out in real life.
There isn’t a single thing that LIV does better than the pga tour at putting on a golf tournament. But because the players are getting paid obscene amounts of money, they act like it’s way better. And even if the process of playing in a LIV golf tournament IS better for the player, it doesn’t mean shit because as a business the players aren’t the customers. Bryson and Phil are the only two people that seem to have even bought into the idea of the team as a brand bullshit and they are two of the most out of touch characters on tour. And I’m not even sure Phil is doing anything other than playing the part because they handed him a dump truck full of cash.
It’s such a clown show that I’ve wondered if it wasn’t devised specifically for this purpose of trying to do everything as different as possible from the pga tour, but as much talent as possible, and then draw it out as long as possible in court to try to get the pga tour to the negotiating table and see what we can get. That the Liv tour itself didn’t need to have any real viability or sustainability, it just served as a tool to get to the table. The only way that play works is if you have completely unlimited money because of the sums it would take to pry talent away from the tour. And the only people that could possibly do that is the Saudis because they are the only entity that has completely unlimited money.

My son searches river and creek beds for arrowheads, he's found several hundred. He's quite good at finding them.
Built this for him to store and show off some of his better ones.
Made it with cherry wood and inlayed bocote wood on the top and made the drawer pulls from bocote as well.
The top section has a removable tray.
I love the look of cherry. What did you finish it with?

They teed off super early to beat the rain. Then they showed the broadcast at the time it would have been on if they teed off normally.

Schef needs to make a run
when I think us open, I think huge crowdsAnd at least at oakmont the fairways will be 15 yards wide, the Pennsylvania cabbage will be deep and juicy, and the greens will be rolling at a 15.
I drove past this morning on my way to the poors course and they are doing a lot of work for ‘25 right now. They are adding bunkers to try to take away some of the playing up the wrong fairway that was happening at the US amateur.

Looks like there are some low numbers to be had out there today. Tom Kim went out in 29.

Holy fuck this group in front of Rory and Brooks has spent like 20 mins dicking around in the trees.
It's Harman apparently. Hit the fucking ball dude.
They have been causing Rory & Brooks to wait constantly all fucking day. It’s been a beating following that featured group.

My standard play to clear an area is to run in to pull a bunch of mobs, space bar out of the pack, tendrils, bone spear for vulnerable, and the pop off a bunch of corpse explosions

Zero chance the winner isn’t starting the day under par. I’d be really surprised if it’s not one of the guys at -5 or -6. The early returns look like the course will be gettable. I think -8 gets you in a playoff -9 to win.

Here are the lofts on Bryson's irons vs. "std" lofts of Titleist T100. 4iron 16/24, 5 iron 19.5/27, 6 iron 21.5/30, 7 iron 25/34, 8 iron 30/38, 9 iron 35/42 and PW 40/46 His numbers mean nothing. I remember Nicklaus' 1 iron being 17 deg.....
I was thinking when they were talking about Bryson hitting 2 clubs less than brooks into one of the par 3s that Bryson’s clubs are likely so adjusted that the stamped number means nothing. That confirms it.

Disclaimer: I don't know the course that well.
But when I see par is 70 for some of these courses instead of 72, esp. at majors, I always get the feeling that it's just a way to artificially inflate scores and keep guys from getting to -20 or something ridiculous like that.
Still, it sounds like this course is tough no matter what.
Pretty common to turn a short par 5 into a long par 4 for the pga and us open. Oak hill is par 71 for the members, the short par 5 17th turns into 4 for 70 for championships.

Fuck brooks for a lot of reasons. But not for taking that bag. One of the honorary starters has Aramco on his sleeve and no one says a word. But I'm still glad he choked.
I don’t care about him leaving for the cash, more about him being a coward, thinking he couldn’t compete. The guys that were over the hill, I get it. You don’t have it anymore and want to take some easy money. Guys like brooks and Bryson, just cowards.

9 shot swing today.

Why does the broadcast think a players score to par on the round is more useful to the viewer than what hole they are on?

I disliked Brooks long before LIV was a thing.

He's not in the top 10 of douchers...I'm actually good with Koepka winning. I just think his putter starts to go.
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.

If The Master's wants to take our money, here goes :
Charge people $20 a day to watch every single player on every single hole.
ESPN taking the first 2 days of every major has screwed up everything.
You can watch every shot of every player on the masters app for free.

They operate 737s out of that airport, just not fully loaded. Teams will just send equipment on a separate plane.
USC, Arizona, Oregon state, sdsu have all managed to get there for football games before.
