Had a dude play through me and my buddy walking today, guy merged with the 2 guys in front of us then held us up the whole back 9. 🙄 It's a golf problem.
Concerning slow play, I’ve alway s wondered this; 2somes are obviously quicker than 3somes so why do some tournaments pair in 3somes on the weekends? The events in Florida are always 2somes; that speeds up the round quite a bit; west coast tournaments seem to always be 3somes; why is that?
The groups may play faster in twosomes, but with more groups it takes longer to complete a round. With 69 players (the field at Heritage and a typical number to make the cut), starting times for threesome spread out over a bit less than 4 hours while twosomes would take more than 5-1/2. And the West coast events more often use threesomes because a 6PM Eastern finish time (typical for an event) means the round has to finish at 3PM in California.
I see pro golf as a civilized form of Darwins law where the fittest survives. I wish even the signature events had deeper fields eg. 150, then a cut after 36. Then it would create more opportunities for up and comming players. As it is now its ”easy” once you are established and really hard if you are not even if Aon swing 5 give others a chance too. This is the main reason Im not watching LIV even if there are a lot of really good players at LIV but for me its just a show, works for some but not me.
while Rory's vision for the future of golf may not match mine exactly, i can say that i welcome the chance of having him on the board again, and his contribution is greatly valued.
@@jimiverson3085 You know the soft yacht owners who already got their career earnings from the murderous Saudi prince. Then, they retired to 54-hole team tournaments while losing their edge. Now they are unable to compete in a real 72 hole man-up toournaments. Those guys we never see anymore. You know, the LIVers. The ones that Scottie eats for lunch.
@@TerlinguaTalkeetna They may do a bit better. One thing that may have happened is that the LIV guys hadn't played much if at all on courses with sharp teeth - most of the setups were pretty pattycake. Then they hit Augusta with a bunch of wind and the greens playing hard and fast - miss a shot by a little and very bad things were going to happen, especially with Augusta's greens. Valhalla isn't likely be quite as razor's edge in its setup. It will probably still be tough but without having shots that are misplayed by a yard or two ending up 40 yards from the hole.
@@jimiverson3085 I always LOVED to watch the US Open and the British Open when the weather and course conditions beat up the boys. Even par after four days wins. The younger golfers and audiences love these 20 + under rounds. Boring to me, when everybody makes birdies? You are right about PGA setup, but narrower fairways and bigger rough does help shake out weaker play those 4 days. Weather will also bite you in Ky, in May. Of course we shall see.
A terrible move. Smacks of some kind of desperation to stay relevant because his game isn’t capable doing the same thing. He rubs people up the wrong way too much…too self centred. Only child syndrome or something….
This is simply Rory trying to fool people into thinking he didn't just have a close deal with LIV for $850 million fall through 😅 If Rory won The Masters he would be flying down to Adelaide right now as we speak 🤣
He didn’t! You think he would give up his relationship with tiger!? You’re confused. You forgot about his investment in TGL next year!? rory already has that much money
