@realDonJunk @CaptainCons There’s a lot of downtime in golf

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons It's a pain in the ass to do in mini-golf. And it's absurd that they still have to do this in The Masters. It would be like the players at Wimbledon being forced to announce the score prior to serving and being disqualified if they got it wrong.

How about no? It’s part of the game. Not to mention adds to the mental aspect for players. You can probably avoid looking at a scoreboard. You can’t avoid writing your score each hole which plays into your psyche on the course It’s so much more than keeping score imo

@realDonJunk @CaptainCons You are encouraged to take multiple pencils or you can grab one at the end of the game and fill in your scores. But yes, recording your own score manually is a very nice feeling and is done from Ocean Putt to Augusta

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons So it's the same thing I'm getting at, say, Ocean Putt, in Cape May? Like, they don't have refillable pencils or something a little more sophisticated? What if the tip gets worn during play?

@paulswaney3 Since when did people think that looping in HR is beneficial to them...

Gen Z This muppet is your competitor There has never been a better time to excel at work. There is limitless opportunity in front of you stop complaining about housing prices and just shine.

@paulswaney3 man the name drop there was insane

Over or under this muppet finally stops mailing me? One of the worst cold mail sequences I’ve seen

@realDonJunk @CaptainCons They're mini wooden pencils. They are quite nice - best golf course pencil on the market

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons Do they use those mini-pencils like they have at putt-putt? Are they filled with lead instead of graphite to make them more traditional?

@realDonJunk @CaptainCons Ah yes marking down a score is a bridge too far

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons I'm not "offended" by it. I think people need to get over themselves about it. "Gentlemen" ... lol! Golfers ...

@realDonJunk @CaptainCons It's a gentleman's game - you call penalties on yourself. That's just the way the game is played. If it offends you, you don't have to watch. The Master's isn't for casuals.

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons Why make the players officials? Lol! This is ridiculous.

You don't have to force your culture in other's. It's not her culture, you're not respecting her culture or her art. If she was at an Arabic wedding then she would be in the wrong. You're at her show - you should act as the 99% of her fans.

@realDonJunk @CaptainCons You are the official - that’s part of being a competitor. You mark each others scores, you agree on rulings, and the “officials” are only there to guide you and ensure you don’t make a mistake

@johnsplaining @CaptainCons I'm *playing*. Why am I writing *anybody's* score down, ffs? This is a championship event. Where are the officials?

@CaptainCons Yea but you marking your own score is just for you. You marking their score is that players official score

@johnsplaining Most guys do both

@johnsplaining Model tight 32.2% Cam 31.6% Rory 36.2% Field Probabilities compressed No clear favorite Continuing observation

@EthansAnalyst What's the model reading for victory?

Amen Corner 11-12-13 Where it breaks White Dogwood Pressure Golden Bell Precision Azalea Decision Winners hover around even No margin for +3 Leads tested Mistakes amplified Not where you win it Where you lose it Model aligned Continuing observation Sent from my Mac

@LJS527 I highly recommend you play AL only fantasy baseball with some moderately sharp individuals if you believe this to be true. Then you see Josh Naylor getting paid $37m and bat .140

If I had $275 million the Yankees would never lose a game. (Just kidding, but this shit would not be acceptable)

@replies_guy He is exempt into The Open Championship

Jordan Spieth is not currently exempt into the PGA Championship or the US Open. Only got into the Masters as a former champion.

@ShaneRyanHere There's no real reason to imply 65 on Saturday at the Master's could be bad - just a bad headspace question - it was awful

No clue what Scottie was thinking here or why he responded this way beyond general disdain of media, but I've decided people's reactions to this are a great way to judge them. If you're mad about a reporter asking a simple, common question that players themselves talk about all the time (how good or bad their score could have been based on their assessment of their play), and sometimes generates an interesting observation or two, you're an idiot. Looking for the grievance weirdos going "CLICKBAIT QUESTION GOOD FOR SCOTTIE" to find the dimwits.

Cam Young betters this morning #themasters

@AliceFromQueens why do you assume they'd "get away with it"? The raw materials and supplies would be very easy to track by purchase. Deliveries, shipping, credit cards, even crypto isn't THAT hard to track. It's not like 99% of young men naturally have drones.

I wonder how long it will be before the jilted young men who normally go to jail for murdering their lovers in a frenzy, will do it from a distance, by drone, and get away with it.

No one tell her about Islamic nations...

@JamesSurowiecki They always have been - like what are you talking about. It’s why they have security

So we're just accepting that all government officials are fair game for assassination? It seems like a bad idea to legitimize attempts by foreign governments to, say, assassinate a prime minister or Defense Secretary.
