  1. Got picked again this year, 2nd time in 6 years. This time for Wednesday. Fucking stoked.
  2. 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.
  3. I love the look of cherry. What did you finish it with?
  4. 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.
  5. And 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.
  6. The next two opens are at pinehurst and oakmont. Huge properties will have massive crowds.
  7. Looks like there are some low numbers to be had out there today. Tom Kim went out in 29.
  8. They have been causing Rory & Brooks to wait constantly all fucking day. It’s been a beating following that featured group.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 9 shot swing today.
  15. 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?
  16. I disliked Brooks long before LIV was a thing.
  17. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.
  18. It’s surly. Every sporting event is over every lead change.
  19. Wind is up too. Gonna be some balls in the water.
  20. You can stream it from the app to your tv
  21. Boom. 2 shot swing to start the day.
  22. You can watch every shot of every player on the masters app for free.
  23. And he just dunked one into the pond on 16. I’m sure the last thing he wants to do is WD at Augusta but man he’s got to be disappointed about the cut line slipping to let him in.
  24. I just don’t see it as a bomber’s course. I think it’s very lenient off of the tee which gives it the perception of being a bomber’s course. And it definitely opens the door for a bomber. But I see it as much more of a 2nd shot course. For every DJ there are 3 Spieths, Zach Johnsons, and Hidekis. Hitting it a mile off the tee isn’t gaining you as much when there are tiny sections of the green you have to hit on your next shot. If you look at the list of winners you can see that you can win at Augusta without being a bomber off the tee, but you can’t win it being only a bomber off the tee. But if you’re a lefty and can bomb it, you have a distinct advantage.
