Rick if you need some nutrition help I’d be happy to give you some instruction, all kidding aside. Been in the business for 10+ years and studied nutrition in college etc. I wish I could say it helps your golf game a ton to eat well and be fit but here I am doing all I can to break 100 each week.
Harman was the only player to shoot under par on every day. A fully deserved winner.
I think most fans of the sport (not personalities) appreciated it. It was quite a show from my perspective how he picked apart the course with strategic execution, and the guy doesn’t hit it as far as the Rorys of the world. It was reminiscent of how Tiger did with hitting irons only years back.
Im also disappointed how much commentators kept talking about his height and calling him "little man". Pretty derogatory, irrelevant and he's only an inch shorter than McIlroy. He was the best golfer by far.
This awful Open (least watched in a decade) is all on the R and A. If the wind isn't blowing these links courses are far too easy to be sticking weekend pins in the centre of wet greens. Harman had all the pressure taken off him with how they set the course up. Not nearly difficult enough for a major.
I do agree on the team element of LIV feeling a bit under played, but only for US or UK fans.
Take Stingers, 4 South African Players, playing against the rest of the world. All SA LIV fans wholeheartedly support Stingers, becasue there is that Country support element. Maybe something to explore, if you support, Phil, Bryson and Dustin?? 3 different teams? Who should I support?
As a South African, Stingers all the way, makes the team support easy.
is there any exception to play the JCB course? I would love to play there as it's only down the road from me. I'm going to the JCB Championship on 5th august! can't wait
I'm glad the farmer won!
regarding the R&A limiting air time to LIV players, had they have done so it would have been incredibly hypocritical considering they've come out and said they're open to Saudi money being invested in the pro game….the "merger" situation has basically legitimised SA funding….I don't understand why you guys keep bringing this stuff up, it's a dead horse long flogged and its tiring, please move on
Awesome – one of the best Opens ever. Great to see an unheralded golfer show the British kingdom who's the boss.
You guys love to D ride certain players, give the man his props
Rick, you seem to be spending an uncomfortable amount of time talking about Ruffles looks.
So happy to see Brian win, I found it riveting, and highlights making courses longer favours the big hitters, make courses tighter is what's needed, and golfers of Brian's stature can shine.
This is lefty hate at it's best. learn to love the lefties
I want to know next pod if you actually Burgerism 😂
The Tiger and Rory simps
Just seen this stat whilst scrolling through insta listening to your podcast, 'over seven of the last eight majors, Rory has tied or beaten 993 of 1019 competitors (97.4%) without winning' 🤯🤯
Rory standing over a putt always makes me nervous, tee to green theres no one better and unfortunately on the day Tommy seem to match him putt for putt
Its his twitch, thats it. Other than that i like him.
It seemed as Harman was the only player with a game plan ….like Tiger had . 👍
Rick the amount you eat is not your biggest problem just cut out the drink you will be a new man in no time
My only problem with Harman winning is not putting a tenner on him 😩
It's funny that we want certain players to win the majors but when you have a master performance from a golfer that has earned his card & been on tour for years there seems to be a bit of a MEH reaction cos he is not as popular as others,well the others struggled our favourites struggled & Harman made it look easy,not a big guy or big personallity but a top golfer.plenty of others would want to win but he smashed it well done B HARMAN…
The final day was boring but that had nothing to do with Brian Harman. There was just no drama or tension and very little memorable shot making. Add subdued crowds under grim skies and it just was what it was
Guys LIV chat, if you watch many or all events you get more and more into the teams, i felt that after the last event. Maybe early days in the teams life
