Throwing the hat and book down as makeshift toys as you desperately try to buy 2 mins to do something important is an elite dad move

- Scottie Scheffler: "My identity isn't a golf score. Like Meredith told me this morning, if you win this golf tournament, if you lose by ten shots, if you never win another golf tournament again, I'm still going to love you, you're still going to be the same person." 🥺
- Someone forced an AI with the intelligence of a starfish to teach itself how to play golf. Only three conditions: - Incentive for generating power - Incentive for swinging club on plane - Disincentive for moving club off plane Here’s the golf swing technique it cooked up 🤣
00:00 - Maybe the stupidest thing any American has done this week is getting Tommy Fleetwood's caddie anywhere near a heated confrontation. The guy is like 6'6", a Scouse and an absolute unit. And also, it must be said, a very lovely guy.
- Just to put this in perspective: England's manager makes $4.6 mil a year. Iceland's is a part-time dentist.
- My favorite part of those Rory-Collin bunker shots is watching how excited they were for each other.
- Swing path looks good, but clubface is WAY shut
- "If you're swinging 127 mph, more power to you. People are running faster now too, so what, are they going to make the length of a mile longer so the fastest mile time doesn't change?"
- Scottie the last player on the range. Was testing a new driver head, which he ended up swapping in to replace the old one. This was the exact moment he made his decision (wait for it…)
00:00 - Happy Gilmore, 2024 (58 years-old) vs. 1996 (30 years-old)
00:00 - Rare, colorized footage of 29 year-Ben Hogan's golf swing from the Hale America Open in 1942. Never seen this before, pretty incredible.
00:00 - I'm sorry, but having to hit out of a divot like this is so dumb You've striped your drive into the middle of the fairway. Having to hit out of this massive divot isn't fair. Should be a free drop from ground under repair. Players get free relief for far less
- I heard rumors that the club spent a bulk of last year testing experimental strains of rough to see which one grew the thickest. It’s ridiculous and I love it so muchSupposedly this is a picture of the rough at Oakmont. At what point are we not even really playing golf anymore? Pitch-out rough is boring. I want to see people still TRYING to get their ball to the green from iffy lies, not "well, let's wedge out sideways" lies.
- 43 year-old Justin Rose’s score counted on 15 of the 18 holes, then he single-handedly salvaged a half on the final hole. That was legitimately one for the most impressive Ryder Cup performances I’ve ever seen in my life.
