That’s fair.  It I don’t mind that stuff. It’s lucky sure. But it’s not being so far offline you get trampled grass. Or so far over a green you hit the grandstand and it stops you and get a free drop. Etc. In tournament golf, you’re gonna have massive breaks. I don’t mind the rules.


Clark was in that unplayable stuff on 9 or 10 (I forget…I’ve watched 10 hours of sports in my chair today)…felt like he should’ve taken an unplayable even though he just missed his target) he either whiffed or hit it 2 inches and thought he might have to take an unplayable but he whacked it out and saved bogey.

They hit equal shots …I know over 72 holes so many breaks happen.

I hate the drive down the middle that lands in a divot….it doesn’t bother the pros much but I’d tip your golf cart over if I had to play out of it.

I think any shot not in the fairway or green (outside if a ball being in the grandstand or in a bag chair) play it as is…if you can

Rory has been good with the golf God’s…I don’t mind that, I don’t know that Clark and many others are good loyal dudes as well.

Unplayable and embedded are 2 very different things. Embedded it has broken ground and plugged, which the rules explicitly state is only to be enforced within a hazard. Outside a hazard, you are entitled to a golf ball that is not buried in the surface of the earth.

Man I know….the two guys hit the same just miss shot….one got out of it due to the embedded rule and the other didnt

I really thought Clark would crack…he showed good fire holding it together at the very end of round 3….he scrambled his ass off today

Now 2 putt young man and make everything else today a moo point.

This is what makes golf so hard to dominate….tennis you beat who is on your side of the bracket and as it goes you have to take down the best competition…..but in golf you have to beat everyone. Rory is dominant, but he didn’t win…Clark was better. Scheffler is also dominant but he hasn’t won much because it’s so hard to beat the entire field without 1 or 2 great great world class players beating you.

And then there’s prime Tiger

Congrat's to Clark ........... he wobbled a bit but made several clutch shots.  You can tell it means everything to him. 


I liked the course, pretty interesting track.

He’s such a good guy….after he finished 18 and Clark sealed it he hugged him and said “your mom was with you the whole way, she’d be so proud”

As Phil Mickelson put it “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change how the PGA Tour does things.”  I don’t know that a more noble cause has ever existed.

I know that.  I was making fun of Phil’s rationale for his going to LIV, suggesting he was doing it to better the PGA  Tour.

Imagine what he'd do if he were even an average putter.

Yeah…imagine what everyone else could do if the rest of their game was as good as his
