    I don't see it as a diss (it's relatively tame compared to some of the shit posted on this website), but I find it a very tenuous connection that reeks of grasping at straws to confirm a preconceived notion.

    it totally could be, and i admit that. but that's why shaggy was founded in the first place- the freedom to post and say exactly what you think and feel. this is nothing more than one man's opinion based solely on conjecture.

    And that's fair.  I don't follow DO on social media - or anyone for that matter.  That's part of why I read / post here, y'all do and post the shit I would want to know / see. But back to DO, I think it would also be fair to tap the brakes and see how he performs over the next month or so.  I mean, the dude was hardly recognizable last night.  And I'm not just talking about his hair.  The dude has lost some serious weight.  I've never gained or lost that much weight but I would think it has to effect your game?  Maybe for the better but might take some time to learn to play within your new body composition?  Maybe he's just a bit lost right now trying to figure things out? 

  2. If I can't host, I can't host man. If I'm cheap, I'm cheap. I mean … simple as that. It ain't about that... I mean it's... It's not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean... But it's...it's easy … to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about not having enough chicken. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the host, and we in here talking about  chicken. I mean, listen, we're talking about spontaneous get together, not a planned dinner, not a coordinated meal, not a planned dinner, we talking about spontaneous get together. Not a planned meal. Not, not … Not the planned meal that I go out there and die for and spend hours in the kitchen cooking like it's my last. Not a planned dinner, but we're talking about a spontaneous get together, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about a spontaneous get together. I know I supposed to be a good host. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important to be a good host, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about a spontaneous get together with a bunch of kids man. What are we talking about? A spontaneous meal? We're talking about a spontaneous meal, man.

  3. DeChambeau plans to leave flagstick in for putts in 2019

    Leave it to Bryson DeChambeau to find a creative way to capitalize on the upcoming changes to the USGA rule book.

    The governing body has a number of significant changes planned for 2019, including the elimination of any penalty for hitting the flagstick when putting from on the green. While such an action is currently a two-shot penalty under Rule 17-3, starting next year players will have the choice to leave the pin in for putts of any distance.

    DeChambeau, who has previously defied convention with tactics like side-saddled putting and using a compass to double check pin positions, indicated on a recent Golf Channel podcast that he plans to leave the flag in for putts starting next year, and he amplified that stance in a recent Golf.com report.

    "It depends on the COR, the coefficient of restitution of the flagstick," DeChambeau said. "In U.S. Opens, I'll take it out, and every other Tour event, when it's fiberglass, I'll leave it in and bounce that ball against the flagstick if I need to."

    According to DeChambeau, the thicker, metal pins at a U.S. Open will force him to adjust his strategy, but typical fiberglass pins will offer "a higher propensity for it to go in the hole" when struck by a ball.

    Up to No. 6 in the latest world rankings, DeChambeau is the highest-ranked player in the field this week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Still putting with the pins out, he opened with a 5-under 66 in Las Vegas and sits three shot off the early lead set by Peter Uihlein.
