Let the guys talk ffs….
Soly looking for support on his awful TIO argument and getting it thrown straight back in his face was hilarious 😂😂😂
I'm 5 minutes in, and I can't wait to hear what TC has lined up for the Block(ie) Party this week at 'HALLA!
Bryson's gonna propose to a racehorse on the 18th on Saturday for the content.
i will never understand the "why cant i get rules like that when i play?" argument regarding TIO – sir there aren't grandstands and shot link towers out there when you play…????? Hate to say it but Soly is 100% right on that take
“Glory’s Last Hole”. Heard that, Soly
Reminder that Scottie has not won a tournament on the PGA Tour after the Master's within a calendar year yet.
1:03:42
Bubba was referring to the water being on his club face and not being able to move the ball the way he was used to hitting it. Pretty sure it was after he hit the ball in the water on 18 on Friday.
Don’t ask me why I remember this 10 years later. Unhealthy sports brain.
Rory getting a divorce? Man is about to win 11 more majors.
Playing the Omega ad brought a tear to my eye. Legend of Rory.
Incredible point from Neil about pga champ memories sitting with you until the next major in the past.
The breakdown of the 2014 PGA was great. I started watching golf when Rory started winning majors and that was a great memory. I’ve been waiting 10 years for another one and I haven’t given up yet! Get it done, Rory!!
Rory filing for divorce…better or worse for his chances?
Also, dogs breakfast in terms of selection policy for the field. Some bits of Datagolf, some OWGR, no rationale to it. Quite a few inside top 100 on DG not selected, makes it an asterisk major
Scottie winning is the biggest story?? That's the most boring storyline
Phil yelling at the cameraman in that spot always reminded me of Shooter McGavin lol
Rory is only half done winning majors.
CT Pan gets an invite but no Abraham Ancer?? You guys let yourself down by not addressing crazy discrepancies like that
To touch on the TIO discussion, I’m a firm believer that there needs to be free relief from grandstands, shot link towers, etc. but it should not be line of sight, only if it interferes directly with stance/swing path (this is the same way that the regular immovable manmade object works). If a grandstand is in the way but not affecting club path or stance, then they can go over or around it. This is sufficiently penalizing to not allow players to aim at the grandstands while still maintaining the ‘intended’ course design.
Great stuff, guys. Thank you.
Soly needs to take his ball and go home with his TIO take (but we won’t give him a penalty and he can drop it in line of sight)
Does Neil know you only have to file your taxes once a year? Seems like we’re giving away a lot of money filing so often.
