Stumbled across this comment thread yesterday and it fucking sent me. It’s such a wonderful moment in the history of the game.

We just walk around the house saying bang to each other now. Kiss on the cheek, “bang”. Slap on the butt, “bang”. Passing a cup, “bang”.

“Ray, people will come Ray. They’ll come to Canada for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your golf course not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at the tee box as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won’t mind if you look around, you’ll say. It’s only $20 per person. They’ll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they’ll walk out to the lake; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the fairway, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been golfers fkn sick of drunk golfers slow play. Canada has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But pace of play has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh… people will come Ray. People will most definitely come”.

The Tarnasky Tussle is the best thing that’s happened to golf since Tiger Woods.

Tee times are up 1000% at this course now.
Welp, I can see reddit rallying to turn this into a bench with a proper bronze plaque.
