The level of camaraderie and sisterhood among us is truly inspiring, demonstrating the power of unity and solidarity in advancing women's rights and equality.💚
TIGER SHOULD PLAY THE SONY, IF HE GETS HURT THEN HE HAS 90+ DAYS TO RECOVER…..HE'S GOING INTO HIS LAST PGA TOUR SEASON…. HE' WANTS TO PLAY UNTIL 50….
THIS JUST IN: You CANNOT learn to play better golf in the gym; IMPOSSIBLE. I hate it, i WANT him to win again…
The irony is that Tiger appears to have a game that suits LIV …. 13 games a year(?), 3 rounds per tourny
Tiger contending? You're drunk
🤠 Boyieezz sfter 36 yrs in Da Golf Game after over a hundred thousand dollars in tee times, buckets of balls after work 4 days a week, buying E bay used putters, drivers and irons, buying a thousand different golf balls, buying hotdogs and golf course hamburgers, ive finnally got to 8-9 handicap, and i changed my swing many times, i tried to copy everyone from Snead, Hogan Sergio, Trevino, chi chi, Tygga, to Scotty, and i made it with not much backswing, if you ever seen Sr player Allen Doyle swing thats exactly me, Boyieezz what a tremendous journey its been, only 4 Eagles in my journey and only 2 actually on the putting greens, freaking 50 yd chip shots for the other 2 Eagles, would i spend da monie and do it again, 🥶 Haeull yea, currently hittin old set of Cleveland TA7 irons, old FT 5 driver and Wilson Duo 40 compression ball, keep hittin em Boyieezz.
Scheffler has not yet broken 70, is 5 strokes behind the leader, has never had a top 7 finish at The Open, had the better weather draw, and yet is somehow magically 3/1 odds on to win this tournament……anyone who puts that bet on is a complete sucker. Ya'll overrate Scheffler massively and the prime Tiger comparisons are cringey, half of the top players are on LIV so that makes it MUCH EASIER for Scheffler to win more PGAT events.
Way too much randomness in the course which honestly doesnt reflect on their ability to play as shown by the 5 of the top 10 not making the cut.
Imagine a poor little golf course bringing golfers to there knees its okay try harder😂 just kidding
What's a good word for Troon maybe knarly
The PGA is giving out special exemptions so why not create a major/big purse tournament that only allows the players the PGA and R&A with no cut. That way, the media is happy and of course the sycophant fans who only think certain players matter–Woods for example. Not Woods fault and the PGA just gave him special privileges with regards to those tournaments where there is usually no cut and about 70-players. I also think the US Open will invite him into the tournament next year and why not let him into the Fed Ex playoff. The top 70 plus with the PGA telling those who don't like it to pound sand. Once again, the media will be happy plus the sycophant fans.
EJECTIONS???
I admire Tigers ability to play golf and his so impressive accomplishments. But, his infidelity and lack of righteous morals have tarnished his legacy.
Tiger not making the cut again no surprise there
If McIlroy can't adjust his swing to change flight, that says he is severely limited as a player. Did he never learn how to hit a punch or a knockdown shot? Seriously???? The ability to adapt is part of golf – Nicklaus was the premier high ball hitter of his era, but adjusted for the Open enough to win 3 times and finish second 7 times.
Really, no big surprises; rory is twisted, Bryson doesn't have a game for the myriad of adventure that is the Open, Smith doesn't play tournament golf anymore, just a basket of fruit.
Winds brutal Friday, hurrah! Had a lot of fun watching Bryson, he needs to spend time learning how to play links.
Great mini pod.
