Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
I watched this morning's broadcast and they were only showing shots from about 4-5 players. It was pretty much just Koepka, Fleetwood, Spieth and Scheffler on repeat.
I'd also like to know which dipshit suggested they bring Faldo back for this. He brings nothing to the table from a color commentary standpoint.
I've been watching McIlory, Rose & Rahm all day. They'll hit a tee shot and switch to the camera up the fairway/green and the person on the camera has no idea where the ball is. It's terrible, but it's expected from Peacock. [Reply]
Justin Thomas just absolutely butchered 18. This was his 5th on a par 5.
��️ ➡️ ��️ Bunker to Bunker for Justin Thomas. He would go on to make a 9 on the par-5 18th. Shoots a round of 82 (+11). #TheOpenpic.twitter.com/rVN82yaLzm

Anything that brings unnecessary luck into play, I am vehemently against. Such as these bunkers. You are better off chunking it into one so you have room to maneuver instead of barely getting in it and getting stuck against the dumb elevation.
Also all these courses with long native grass that you get varying lies based on LUCK. Just stop it. Just make everything a hazard. If you go in, it's a stroke for everyone. [Reply]

Luck is a factor in any sport, including golf. Gust of wind, hit a sprinkler head or cart path, a lucky bounce off a tree or spectator, etc. Hitting into a bunker isn't bad luck, it's a mistake, and mistakes should have consequences - especially in a major. A standard bunker is meaningless to a golf pro, might as well just remove them. [Reply]

Simple. You don't want to play out of the bunkers, don't hit into the bunkers. [Reply]
Brian Harmon elite in the world at everything except hitting the ball hard.
Great putter. Great at not making bogeys. Super accurate off the tee. But he only hits it 289 yards. I wonder if you just gave him 40 yards more off the tee if he would win like 12 majors?
Incredible round he had today. The wind was still whipping 15-20 mph most of his round this morning. [Reply]
Why do guys like Justin Thomas even come back Friday after shooting an 82? You aren't going to make the cut. Why go play for free? WD, fly home, get some other shit done. Life is too short to play shitty golf man. [Reply]
