God what a beating. I’ll bet Scottie was happy to get off the course today. Had a little fun on ChatGPT.

Alright, here’s the roast version — why it’s painful to watch Patrick Cantlay play golf:
• Watching Cantlay line up a putt is like waiting for paint to dry… if the paint also had to check the wind, re-read the grain, and call a rules official.
• He doesn’t “play golf,” he commutes through golf — slow, joyless, and always stuck in traffic.
• By the time he pulls the trigger, you’ve had enough time to order food, get it delivered, and watch a Netflix episode.
• His pre-shot routine has its own back nine.
• Even Jim Nantz has run out of synonyms for “deliberate.”
• At the Ryder Cup, European fans started chanting “Hit the ball!” — and half of Team USA joined in.
• Cantlay’s highlight reels are longer than the Lord of the Rings extended cuts… and contain about the same amount of action.

I'd like to buy a beer for the guy who just yelled "HOOK'EM HORNS, SCOTTIE!" while walking up 18. 

Yeah, Scottie smiled when that happened... 🤘

The Ryder Cup is in a few weeks, these two guys are definitely going to be key factors in it, and yet everyone is pulling for the Brit today.

I'm not...I hope fleetwood shoots 73.

There is something I find unnerving about looking at Keegan Bradley. I can’t describe it. Like something is just different. Uncanny valley, etc.

He’s very twitchy. His body language tells you nothing.

Cantlay FINALLY got put on the clock.  They're about 2 whole holes behind the next group.  He even walks slow.

That short par 4 where they both needed rulings put them way behind.

Same. There’s also probably nobody in the field I’d like to win less than Cantlay. 

I don’t really mind Cantlay but his slow play is aggravating.

He is a damn good player though.

he definitely pushes it to the limit.  They should penalize him in a early in the season.  I'm sure they have stats for all players.  just make a point to warn the bottom 30 slowest or so they are gonna get penalized and then do it and be consistent.

They ended up being about 1.25 holes behind the group in front of them.

Cool to see other players waiting to congratulate him.

Well, not cantlay, who shook his hand on the green like a perfect stranger of a playing partner then skedadled up to the scorer’s table where he had put his card in front of fleetwood’s seat and appeared to have said nothing to him as he finally got there and passed over his card. 
 

It’s not like he lost to a fluke or last hole score, and he did win a couple million dollars just then I believe. Not a bad result for a week’s work.

Cantlay did nothing wrong.  he congratulated him when they shook hands.

Eh, his demeanor at the scorer’s table was pretty lame, but Cantlay is one hell of a competitor, and if he’s already shifting into Ryder Cup focus I can certainly understand.

Quite the talent to be able to judge someone’s demeanor on maybe 2 seconds of video of him looking at the score official.

He is the golfer who won 12 PGA Tour titles after breaking his arm so badly that it never healed properly

Calvin Peete

Quote

The PGA Tour has played host to some incredible golfers throughout the years.

From Arnold Palmer, to Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, fans have witnessed greatness at numerous times throughout the existence of the PGA Tour.

Those three golfers mentioned above had astronomical impacts on the game of golf in general, and all deserve huge credit for the behemoth that the game has become today.

However, there are many other less well-known golfers who left indelible marks on the game as well.

One of them in particular has a story that must go down in history as the most remarkable of all time.

Tiger Woods may have changed the face of golf, but one man did a lot of the groundwork, and his story is a truly unbelievable one.

Calvin Peete won 12 PGA Tour titles after breaking his arm

The legendary Calvin Peete sadly passed away in 2015, but he left a truly remarkable legacy behind.

When he was only 12, Peete broke his left arm and elbow after falling out of a tree.

Due to the fact that his family was so poor, he was unable to see a doctor and as a result, his arm and elbow healed incorrectly.

However, the amazing thing is that the way his arm eventually morphed into shape made his swing one of the most solid, consistent and repeatable motions on the PGA Tour.

Incredibly, he went on to win 12 PGA Tour titles after breaking his arm.

The biggest triumph of Peete’s career was winning The Players Championship in 1985, after he beat D.A. Weibring by three shots to lift the highly-coveted trophy after a truly exceptional performance throughout the four days.

He was the second African-American golfer to play in The Masters way back in 1980, after Lee Elder became the first in 1975.

It was the likes of Peete and Elder before him who opened doors for many young African-American golfers in the future to showcase their talents.

Peete’s incredible golf game and unbreakable spirit helped break down barriers of discrimination in the game of golf, and beyond.

And that is a legacy that anyone would be proud to leave behind.

Calvin Peete’s incredible driving stats and how his broken arm helped him

Peete was well known as the straightest driver in the game during his time at the top.

He led the PGA Tour driving accuracy statistics for 10 years straight from 1981 through to 1990.

To this day, he still holds the record for the straightest driving season on the PGA Tour. In 1983, he recorded an exceptional 84.55% of fairways hit.

That will more than likely never be beaten. The thing with Peete was that he was no slouch off the tee either, so what made him so accurate?

Well, the answer to that question, unbelievably, is the injury he suffered to his arm and elbow.

Due to his arm never healing correctly, he had limited mobility in his back swing, and his left elbow remained incredibly close to his body on his back swing.

This ensured that his swing was one of the most compact movements in the game. With his left arm tucked in close to his body, his swing followed more of an inside path on the backswing, and that allowed him to bring the club back to the ball in the perfect position time and time again.

What happened to Peete as a child was obviously a very harrowing experience and one that you wouldn’t wish on anyone.

However, it clearly ended up being the incident that made him who he was as a golfer, and he will forever be remembered for the transformative impact that he had on the game of golf.

 

Love this story about how his broken arm injury helped his golf...
