What’s up, golf sickos? We are live in the doghouse. I wanted to talk to you guys. There’s a lot on my mind. I’ve got some uh some get off my lawn golf takes that I want to get out there. Uh I had an incredible incredible experience last week playing Cypress Point. Wanted to tell you guys a little bit about that. Talk a little bit about Tommy Fleetwood about these heartbreaking Keegan Bradley comments that he made. His first public comments since uh the disaster at Beth Page. Uh so, let’s hop into it. By the way, we got these hats, these Golf Sicko hats. Uh they’re in the description or they’re in our bio or whatever it is. I’m loving these hats. We got the little dog logo here on the back. You can see Dan on golf. Best way to support the mission uh which is to bring you more of this sort of content uh is to buy one of these hats and signal to the signal to the world that you are a golf sickle. I’m going to switch hats because I’m going to tell you guys about a very special day that I had last week. Six days ago, I got to play Cypress Point uh with my dad and with my brother-in-law and with my sister’s boyfriend. And uh just wanted to tell you guys a little bit about the experience cuz I realize how lucky I am to do a lot of this cool stuff in golf and we’re a community here. Uh I want you guys to feel invested. Uh I miss the lives. We’ll be back with the lives uh starting in the new year where I can interact with you guys in the chat. But uh I want you guys to kind of live vicariously through me. So my dad hit me up a couple months ago and said, you know, I know that you’re traveling all the time and I know the last thing that you want to do is travel more uh during your sort of off season. This is kind of my off seasonason as far as travel goes. We’re still filming some stuff. Uh we went up to Stanford last week. So went up to Stanford to film the first episode of season two of Scratch University, our college series, which we do over on the Scratch YouTube channel where we go tour the best college facilities, the best college programs. We talk to the coaches, we look at the facilities, we get to play with a lot of the best players. So, uh last year we did Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. So, we were all SEC. We’re trying to be a little bit more uh we’re trying to get out of the SEC a little bit this year. So, we went to Stanford, which is iconic obviously with Tom Watson, Tiger Woods, and even more recently, Michael Thorjornson, uh, and Carl Phillips. Um, and we’re going to Florida State in a couple weeks, but we went to Stanford. So, had a great day at Stanford. Played with three awesome kids. We played with Nathan Wang, I think is his last name. Uh, lefty, who actually transferred from Cal to Stanford, which you don’t do. That’s like going from the Red Sox to the Yankees. So, we had some fun with that. Uh Dean Graaserman who’s part of the Grazerman golf dynasty. Uh you might be familiar with the Summer Haze Golf Dynasty in Utah with you know Preston and Daniel and uh Boyd. Uh but there’s a Graman golf dynasty in New Jersey. Max Graaserman who you guys obviously know if you’re following this. You’re you’re a golf sicko. Five second places on the PJ tour already in his first 53 starts. Uh just finished second in Japan I think it was. Yeah, finished second in Japan to Xander Schoffley. Great player. Uh top 50 in the world now for sure. might even be top 30 or top 40. So, we play with Dean Graaserman who’s his younger brother and there’s an even younger one, Reed Grazerman, uh, who plays at Princeton and, uh, he just won the St. Andrews intercolgiate, the little event that they do. I think there’s only like four teams that play at St. Andrews we play with. So, Dean Graaserman, Nathan Wang, and then uh, TK, his name is Ratchinon, Chatanowat, I think I pronounced that right. Probably not. He goes by TK, which he was telling me everyone in Thailand has nicknames because the names are too long. 18-year-old kid. He’s a sophomore. Uh he’s I think the youngest winner ever of an Asian tour event. He won an Asian tour event when he was 15 years old. He also played in the first live event when he was 15. So he was telling us stories about that. So went to Stanford, had a great day at Stanford, then drove about hour 20 minutes down to uh the Carmel Monterey area and got to play Cypress. Um we were unaccompanied, which they they do a lot of unaccompanied play in the mornings. I think there was like three or four unaccompanied groups. Um, so didn’t get to use the range, but showed up there about 25 minutes before the tea time. You know, you’re unaccompanied at one of these places. You don’t you don’t want to hang around too long. It’s a place for the members and, you know, you’re a guest and you want to be differential and and treat the place with respect. So, we got there, hit a couple putts. I haven’t been shaking like that on a first T-shot in a really long time. The first TE at Cypress, if you watch the Walker Cup or if you’ve been lucky enough to be there, um, it’s a pretty it’s a pretty simple T- shot. You got to hit it over this tree on the right. There’s a little hedge right off the uh right off the T- box, which my brother-in-law actually hit it into, but uh which was a little embarrassing, but uh you just got to hit it over this tree. But I was shaking. My hands were shaking. It was cold. It was probably 52 degrees, 53 degrees in the morning. Typical uh Monterey Peninsula sort of Pebble Beach weather. I flushed it down the middle. Flushed it down the middle. And I was uh you know, I said to myself, I wrote I wrote on my scorecard, I said at the beginning of the day, which I would advise you guys to do. It’s a nice reminder. I uh I like to walk and I have a little scorecard keeper so I can make notes in my scorecard and doesn’t get all jumbled in my back pocket. I wrote, “Be kind. This is a privilege.” And what a privilege it was. Um it’s uh you know, it’s different than a lot of these. I I I’ve been lucky to play a lot of these incredible courses and a lot of them just kind of kick you in the teeth repeatedly. They’re so difficult. Cypress is not like that. The greens were fast and they’re hard and you can make big numbers out there, but it’s only like 65 6600 yards par 72. uh you can really get after the first 10 holes. There’s I think four par fives in the first 10 holes and I was just in heaven all day. Uh the the obviously the the holes by the water get the most attention. 15, 16, 17. I’ll tell you how I did on those in a little bit here. But the inland holes are incredible. There’s this big dune, this massive dune. I think it’s behind the 14th green or 13th green somewhere there. But the caddy, my my caddyy was this guy Sergio, 32-year-old, played college golf at San Jose State. amazing guy. Uh and he was telling me that the course historian had uh written that every the Cypress course historian that every hole except for one or two I think go toward or away from that dune. So I thought the inland holes were you know you naturally you compare it to Pebble Beach because it’s right next to it. One of them is public, one of them is private. Thought the inland holes were a lot stronger than the Pebble Beach inland holes. Think about that eighth hole, that ninth hole, that drivable par4. Even the tenth hole is tough. Kind of slight dog leg, right? Uh I just had an amazing day. I had an amazing day. I wasn’t going to let my play dictate how I felt about the golf course, which I’ve become better at in my in my old age old age. I’m going to be 31 in a couple months. I’m feeling old. Um but it was it was amazing. Um I bogeied three of the final four holes to shoot four over. So I was playing really well. I was even par through 10. Um, unfortunately I uh I bogeied both of the famous par 3es on the back which I was thinking about those the whole round and I bogei both of them. The first one uh was playing only about 135 yards and I hit a pitching wedge that I just delofted a little bit. I don’t know if I was juiced up or adrenaline. I hit in the back bunker just a just a dead spot and I actually hit a remarkable bunker shot from there to get it to about 3 ft and because I’m a ball and hole guy and that’s going to be kind of the next thing we talk about. Uh obviously I wanted to putt it. Missed it. Missed it. Didn’t even hit the hole. So uh bogeied 15 then went to 16. Took that amazing walk through the trees to 16. I was expecting 16 to play like 220 215 225 in that range. I was expecting to hit be able to hit a 4 iron. I was wrong. It was playing all of 245. And the other thing that’s interesting about 16 is, you know, you always see the view from behind the player where you’re looking at the whole ocean. It’s honestly built more like a short par4 than it is like a par three. There’s a whole fairway down the left side. And because Cypress, you know, a lot of wealthy old members, it they don’t have a 230 yard carry in their bag. So they hit driver or 3-wood left and then they wedge it on the green. If you look at the hole from behind the green back toward the tea, it looks like a short par4. So, I hit my driving iron off the tea, made just the most standard bogey in the world. Uh, hit it in the left rough, hit a very meh chip to about 12 ft, didn’t make the putt. Um, but then I I was watching my dad tee off and he had a 3-wood and and he was playing one tee up, so it was only about 15 yards ahead and I’m thinking, “This has got no chance. This got absolutely no chance.” He he hits it. He picks his tea up right away and I didn’t even realize that there was a fairway dead on the left side. He was right in the middle of the fairway. I think he also made a bogey. But, uh, just an amazing amazing experience. Um, you know, speaking of of ball and hole, I’m going to take the I’m going to go back to the golf sicko hat. Actually, you know what? Yeah, there’s a little bit of a hat line here. So, I’m going to cover it with the golf sicko hat. We’re just switching hats today. Um, I I posted a video uh just today about sort of my five offseason golf takes, my get off my lawn takes, you know, getting deep into my 30s. So, I wanted I wanted to get off my chest five takes that I had and and one of them is is no gimmies. That’s the first one. So, I’m going to give you my five kind of offseason golf takes that are are sort of get off my lawn a little bit little the older the 30s, Danny. Number one, gimmies are lame. They just are. I mean, I I I never understand the the logic of you’re playing a sport uh where, you know, there’s a there’s a tiny hole. It’s about this big. 450 yards away. 400 yards away and there’s bunkers and there’s water and there’s rough in the way and you do all this work to get the ball within 3 ft of that little hole and then you pick it up. I mean, it just makes absolutely no sense. What what ends up happening is you’re going to miss a lot of those. So, you end up getting a handicap that is too low, which I have been guilty of in the past before I had this awakening. I really had this awakening in Ireland with the gimmies because they just weren’t a thing. like it’s just not really a thing in Ireland. And you know, I felt like my handicap was too low. I’ve gotten so much better at golf and my handicap’s only gone down like a shot. I’m down to a plus one even though I’m five shots better than I ever was. I feel like because I’m actually putting them out. And you know the if it’s so close that you’re not going to miss it, just go up and knock it in. And if you’re saying, well, you know, I need to take Kimies for pace of play purposes. It sounds like you’re playing too slow everywhere else. That would be my take on that. So that’s number one. Kimies are just lame. You’re lying to yourself. I promise you, play the next month without gimmies. See what happens to your handicap. But also see what happens to your soul. You’re going to feel cleaner. You’re going to feel more unfettered. You’re going to feel free because you’re not lying to yourself about what you shot. Go out there, shoot a number. It’s golf. No one cares what you shoot. It’s all about yourself and feeling good about yourself. Number two, no pros and amateur events. No, I should say no reinstate. Obviously, there’s no pros and am events. No reinstated pros and am events. Uh this this topic has been getting a lot of information. I’m curious your thoughts. I’d love to hear them in the comments. Because the US Midam was the failed former Tour Pro open is what I called it. Six of the eight quarterfinalists, including the winner, reinstated touring professionals. That is not the spirit of the amateur game. Bobby Jones is rolling over in his grave somewhere. Look, I think turning pro should mean something. If you play pro basketball for a couple years and then you flame out of the NBA, you don’t you’re not you’re always a professional basketball player. You played pro basketball, you’re a pro basketball player. I don’t see why it’s any different in golf. And the Midam has a real problem on their hands. You know, I’ve been talking to some of my friends at the USG. I’m like, “You guys got to do something about this because it’s it’s become the the failed tour prophecer finalists are guys who tried their luck at pro golf. And when you play pro golf, you are practicing every day. That is and you’re practicing for multiple hours every day and you’re playing in all these competitions. It’s just different. And that just because you’re not playing as much doesn’t mean that that part goes away, right? Like let’s say you’re a a former tour pro and obviously Colt no said that he’s trying to get his amateur status back which it’s nothing personal against Colt 199 starts in the PJ tour 4.3 million in earnings like if he’s going to get his amter status back we might as well just amer status might not even be a thing anyone can play in amer events if you want to just say you’re an amateur I don’t think that should happen obviously um but like a guy like that you know oh my game’s not good my game’s not good you give these guys a month to practice for the US Midam and that proness comes back. It doesn’t just go away. So, I think it’s pretty simple. If you turn pro, you should I have no problem with you playing in club events. You know, clubs can make their own rules if they want to let pros play. If you have a handicap, I got no problem with you having a handicap. There’s no rule against pros having a handicap. So, you can play and you can leave it up to the clubs if they want to let you play in the club championship. But, you should not be able to play in USGA events. If you played as a professional golfer, you should not be able to play in USGA amter events. I think it’s pretty simple. Number three, no long putters. I’m talking this. I’m talking the arm lock. The USGAA tried to get rid of this a couple years ago by getting rid of anchoring, but people found a way around it. The arm lock is I don’t understand how that’s not anchoring. It’s literally anchored to your wrist. And then you’ll see guys who have their left hand so close to their chest that you really just can’t tell if they’re anchoring or not. It’s um it’s a loophole. It’s lame. I think there’s an easy fix here. Just have a maximum length that a putter can be. 39 in 40 in gets rid of that problem. Number four, stop cutting down all the trees. And this is going to be something we talk about in a bit here when we recap the DP World India Championship. It’s such a trend in world golf and I get it. You know, you look at a plan, you look at the original photos of a golf course in 1920 and it doesn’t have trees. Well, trees grow. That’s something that they do, especially in big, beautiful, fertile places like golf courses. I think trees are amazing. I’m very protree. I understand why they’re getting rid of them. You know, opens up the vista. It makes it easier for the members. That’s why I think a lot of members like it is because they can kind of just hit driver wherever they want. But especially for professional events, trees are really important to challenging the best players in the world. I think trees are fun. They provide shade, which is awesome. when you miss it, you get to try to hit it under a tree or around a tree or over a tree. I’m just tired of watching golf courses where you can just step up there with driver, hit it as hard as you can. I remember what Rory said when they went to Philly Cricket for the uh truest this year. He was like, “Look, when you play these old golf courses that have been uh renovated or or restored is the word that they use, you just hit driver everywhere and deal with it later.” And uh I think trees are are are an asset, not an enemy. And again, I I get it. You know, better growing conditions. I think if you’re a golf course by the ocean, you can get away with it. A linkx course, but getting rid of all these trees from these parkland courses where there’s trees everywhere else, they just it leaves them looking naked. And then my last one, my fifth one of my get off my lawn chapter of this of this uh video here is let’s get no cut events stink. They’re becoming way more common with uh live golf starting with their, you know, 54 holes, no cut, everyone around for the weekend. The PJ tour answers with their signature events. A lot of those have no cuts. I think it’s lame. I think one of the great parts of our game is the meritocracy. Everyone’s starting from zero. We said it a million times in the first season of uh full swing. If there’s this thing called the cut, the 36 hole cut. And if you don’t make it, you leave with nothing. Everyone starts from zero. I think it’s a really unique part of our sport. I think the best format for a golf tournament is 10 something players and a 36 hole cut. It becomes a tournament of its own. Top players hate missing cuts. You can see it. They grind it out. They fist pump. and guys who are trying to keep their status or trying to you know establish themselves as pro making the cut is a is a huge notch in their cap. So uh and and the argument for oh you know we want the with the stars around for the weekend that’s why there’s no cuts. Number one the stars don’t miss that many cuts that’s why they’re stars. And number two if they’re 15 shots back are they really moving the needle? And also I think it’s a lesson to kids. You know you might say oh well what if a kid buys a ticket to you know a kid is coming to see Rory Mroy play on Saturday and uh he misses the cut and the kid doesn’t get to see him play. That’s a lesson to the kid. You got to earn your keep in life. Nothing’s handed to you. Just because you’re Rory Malroy doesn’t mean you have some god-given right to play the weekend. So, uh, I’m over no cut events. I’m over a lot of things. This is a lot of me complaining. That’s what I said it was going to be. This was my the get off my lawn chapter. Okay, let’s jump into the news. Tommy Fleetwood wins the DP World India Championship. This was an incredible event to watch largely because of the trees. This was the anti-Oman. This was the anti- Philly cricket. There were trees absolutely everywhere to the point where Rory Moy, I don’t know about the the last three rounds, but in the first round, he didn’t even bring his driver with him to the golf course. That’s how tight it was out there. Um, it was fun watching guys play for position. It was fun watching guys, you know, not be able to just step up there with driver, whack it, and figure it out after. Uh, amazing year for Tommy continues. It was a great scene. Frankie Fleetwood, who is sort of growing up before our eyes, you know, Frankie Fleetwood, Charlie Woods, uh, Bennett Sheffller. We’re were we’re watching these kids grow up because their dads are in the public eye all the time. But that was the first time I think that Tommy was able to celebrate with Frankie on the on the final green. So awesome scene there and and what a year for Tommy. What a year for Tommy. So top point earner in the RDER Cup. He was 4-1. I think he’s 11 and three overall. Amazing Ryder Cup record. Obviously got his first PGA Tour win. Won the FedEx Cup. Uh he’s in the top five with the World Rankings. He’s actually moved up to number two in Data Golf behind only Scotty Sheffler. He’s ahead of Rahm and Rory. Uh obviously those that data golf algorithm is heavily weighted toward recent results. But Tommy’s been probably the third best player this year, you could say. Um behind uh Scotty and Rory, which is going to be an interesting player of the year conversation. We’ll see how Rory fares in the Middle East trying to win another race to Dubai. But it was awesome watching Tommy get the win. Uh one of the more uh universally liked characters in our sport. If you don’t like Tommy Fleetwood, that’s a you problem. and uh you know the major a major championship is the next thing on his list. I think he’s going to win one in 2026. I think he’s got the monkey off his back as far as winning in the United States. Um he’s got that confidence now, that swagger. There’s no more scar tissue there. That’s all away. And uh we know how good his game is, how solid his ball striking is, and how good he’s been in the majors recently. All right, next thing I want to talk about, Keegan Bradley. So, Keegan Bradley, uh, losing RDER Cup captain, which will be next to his name forever, lost the RDER Cup at home. It’s a tough one. It’s a tough one. And this is what he was talking about. You know, he said, “If you win, when you take this job as a RDER Cup captain, you’re really putting your neck on the line a little bit. If your team wins, you’re a hero. If they lose, especially at home, especially in New York where everything’s just kind of bigger, it’s a stain uh forever.” And uh, I felt bad. So, he’s making his first public uh comment since the RDER Cup. He’s speaking at the Travelers Championship media day with Chris Burman with Boomer, which is electric. Love Boomer. One of the reasons why I wanted to get into sports uh broadcasting in the first place. And uh and he said he’s never going to get over it. Let’s uh let’s watch this clip. The stakes are, you know, you win, it’s glory for a lifetime. You lose, it’s you I I have to I’m going to have to sit with this the rest of my life. There’s I can’t there’s no there’s no part of me that thinks that I’ll ever get over this. You know, when you take the job, you know, you know of a couple different things you’re going to have to do. You’re going to have to make those calls to the guys that don’t make it. And you know you know that you’re going to have to deal with whatever comes in. And and that’s that’s part of what comes with being a captain. I’d love to play in another one. Who knows? I I I this effing event has been so brutal to me. I don’t know if I want to play. No, I do. But I uh it was um it’s it’s it’s such a weird thing to love something so much. It just doesn’t give you anything. So, it’s tough. Now, you can tell that this is this is weighing on him and and I think back on the RDER Cup and I was looking at the score. I was looking at sort of the breakdowns this this morning as I was getting ready to do this video and 1513 doesn’t tell nearly the story. The story is those first two days. Let’s not forget going into Sunday it was 11 12 to 4 and a half. And that’s what Keegan said. Those first two days were a nightmare. They were as bad as it possibly could have gone. Not just the score, but the the fans making a fool out of themselves largely. The golf course playing like TPC Beth Paige, not Beth Page Black. No rough. Greens were pillow soft. It was unrecognizable. I remember being there and a lot of people in the crowd who are New Yorkers who they were like, “This was easy. This course was harder when I played it. Why is it playing easier for the pros than it is for me and my buddies when we camped out to play in the morning? And but this is the this is the the plight of the RDER Cup captain, you know, it’s it’s a difficult job because you win, you’re the man, right? Luke Donald is a hero. He’s a hero now. He won two. But let I mean, if if Russell Henley gets one of those putts to the hole on 17 or 18 and the and and Europe collapses like they they really did collapse. They won one match on Sunday. Lud Viggoberg was the only one who won a match which was kind of amazing when you look at the stats and the only person who left Rome without a point was Rasmus Huygard who was a European and that’s because every American except for one except for Patrick Hanlay who lost to Ludvig got at least a half a point on Sunday but the more I think of it the more it’s this is a player issue and I don’t think that the reason that the US missed all those putts was because of Keegan Bradley but that’s when you’re the leader of a team you take you take the credit when they win and you take the blame when they lose. And you know, I I I said this a lot this week. I think it’s the players. I I think the the the RDER Cup captaincy is one of the more overblown positions in our sport. You know, your job as the Rder Cup captain is to get your players to care and I think Keegan did all he could. At a certain point, the players have to look inward. And you know, I think just looking at the way the Europeans talk about the RDER Cup, the way they act at the RDER Cup, I think the fans fired up the European team big time. I think them being so personal, it made them feel like it was us against the world. And it was, if you were on the grounds, it did feel like it was Europe against the world. Um, but I also just look at the posts afterwards and a lot of the US players were posting like, “Yeah, it was great to represent my country, you know, thank you to everyone at the PJ of America.” There was no like, “This is heartbreaking. We can’t keep losing this.” It just seems like it matters a little bit more to the players. And I don’t know that Keegan can just snap his finger and make the players care more and try. Not that they weren’t trying harder, but it it certainly seemed like the European players lean into the cap, lean into the team aspect of it more. I mean, the Americans dominated in singles. They’re clearly much more comfortable in singles. When they’re playing in forsomes, it’s almost like, I don’t really know what to do with my hands. I don’t know. You saw these Europeans and they were grabbing each other’s faces. They were going crazy the whole time. There was just more of a team spirit and I think that comes from the players. So hopefully a new generation of Americans, you know, looking at the Oshayes, looking at the Luke Clintons, looking at the Jackson Koans, you know, hopefully these guys uh feel differently, feel feel a little bit more passionately about the team competition part of the RDER Cup. But you know, players make or miss the putts and that that was the story. Um now, why do they do that? Why do our players keep underperforming? Maybe they’re maybe they’re not quite as motivated as the Europeans, but again, I think that’s really hard for a captain to just snap his fingers and say, “You guys need to care more. I think it needs to come um from from internally.” But I feel for Keegan because, you know, he said he he was talking and maybe we can play this clip, but he was talking about, you know, I’d really love to play in another Ryder Cup. And then he almost caught himself and he’s like, would I really love to play in another RDER Cup because this event has kicked me in the balls repeatedly and it has. It’s it’s a Shakespearean almost tragedy, right? Like he he gets passed over for the RDER Cup in Italy. Then because of how passionate he was and how heartbroken he was and because we all saw it play out on Netflix. I think that was one of the reasons, if not the main reason he gets the captaincy for New York, then he plays so well that if the the captain was literally anyone else besides himself, he would have been on the team. he has this really difficult choice where he either lays down his arms, right? And probably knew that he was one of the 12 best Americans, but decides, you know, am I really going to be the first one since Arnold Palmer to be a playing captain? And I think if Keegan had the resume of a Tiger Woods or even the resume of a Scotty Sheffler, I think he he’s more likely to play, but I think putting himself in the same sentence as Arnold Palmer made him uncomfortable. So he he tries to do the good guy move and then they lose. And then they lose at home. He’s 39. He’ll be 41, I guess, at the next RDER Cup. You know, it’s hard for guys in their 40s to keep up. He played amazing this year. But I think maybe there was part of that was because he was the captain. And you know, there was he seems to thrive in the chaos, which is why I said, “My dog’s trying to break in now. It’s not going to happen.” Which is why I said I thought he should have played because I thought his game would fall off a cliff being made the captain. I thought it was too much. But I I think he he thrived in the chaos and I think that arena between the ropes was a sanctuary for him and it gave him this calm and he had this incredible year and who knows if that’s going to happen but I just felt for him and I feel for any losing Ryder Cup captain because it’s not their fault. It’s just not their fault. I mean there’s a certain level of competency that you have to reach as a captain which I think Keegan absolutely reached. At the end of the day it’s on the players. Um, but it’s hard not to feel for a guy who clearly feels really deeply about this competition and about his country and tried to do the right thing. And that sport sometimes that can be very, very cruel. So, looking forward to this weekend. We got the Black Desert Championship in Utah. I’ve been talking to a couple players. They say it’s one of the best golf courses that they’ve ever seen. They’re loving it. They said this course is absolutely beautiful. It’s brand new in Utah. I’ve been meaning to get out there. Uh, looks amazing in the desert there uh at elevation. So, I expect the scores to be super super low this week. um getting to be crunch time in the FedEx fall. Guys are playing for their livelihood. I’m looking at Joel Damon, 103rd, I think, in the standings now. We need Joel to have a good week. I I need Joel to have full status next year.

  1. Love the no gimmie take. Some of the most heartbreaking strokes in tournaments for me have been short putts that would have been gimmies when playing with buddies. Gotta practice those shots too

  2. I am with you on the no gimmies Dan. However as a blue collar working stiff I usually play public courses sometimes with shit greens.. My handicap went from a 4 to a 6 this year with no gimmies.. I miss more putts, but I feel like a better putter, more birdies and more bogeys.. I actually played Pittsburgh fall golf yesterday after work and shot a 4 over 76. I shit you not I only hit 3 greens. Definitely could not have done that last year with gimmies…

  3. I was thinking if the schedule isn't set yet for scratch U maybe a visit to one of the top d2 golf schools. It would be unique to scope out their facilities.. my brother played d3 and they had shit on campus..

  4. I’m genuinely interested to know why people care about long putters. Apart from maybe Bryson with the armlock most players that use the long Putters are not that good or getting really an advantage from what I can see all. the best putters in the world use a standard length putter hence as long as the rule is the same for everybody doesn’t really matter?For the record I use a 35 inch so not in my interest to ask the question just genuinely interested in the conversation.

  5. i dont think someone who played pro can be an am period. once you are a pro you give up the right to be an am

  6. I don’t understand how the “Bryson armlock” is allowed. I’ve never tried a long putter, or an armlock. But I would imagine that you can control the face better with the armlock, Then the banned anchor putters.
