@SeedOilDsrspctr We literally tried to warn you we would still try to kill helpless babies even if you say it’s bad.

@NoLayingUp Why is it so hard for these guys to go “I don’t know, man. I’m a golfer” about almost any question ranging from civil rights to moon landings and reproductive health … ?
I just don’t get why they own themselves so hard so often.
English

Honestly the fact that Bryson even thinks we landed on the moon feels like a bit of an upset.
Golf Digest@GolfDigest
Bryson DeChambeau says he doesn't think the footage of the moon landing is real. "I don't think the footage is real. But I think we did go to the moon. I don't know about the footage. It's quite wild." 📹: @katiemillerpod

@JeffEisenband @RobertDDamron Everyone hears 18 v 15 & thinks “ehh close enough.” But 3 majors is a Hall of Fame career. Jack’s an entire HOF career better than Tiger. He did it for longer. And he had more all-time greats as competitors.
It’s not particularly close. But early 2000s ESPN brainwashed the masses

@RobertDDamron Not refuting any of your logic.
But by that logic, should we consider Bill Russell a better player than Michael Jordan?

@JeffEisenband @RobertDDamron Those are team sports. This is not.

@Skulledwedge Ignore em, man. There a glut of casuals since Covid who just fire off hot takes because they’re mad their parlay didn’t hit or whatever.
Who cares what they think? Rai held off Rahm/JT/Rory with some exceptional play in tough conditions and won by multiple shots. Well deserved.
English

Alright, I’m not a fan of Rai’s aesthetic either. But what is up with golf being the sport where performance doesn’t matter, only names do.
No other fanbase in sports hates underdogs more than this current crop of golf “fans.” No other fanbase is as quick to wrongly jump on the “This does nothing for x sport” train either.
If that back 9 didn’t get you interested, I highly recommend you stop wasting your time trying to be a golf fan, because you’re not a golf fan.
Rai played an amazing tournament, and closed it off with a flawless back 9. No one else came close to doing that. If you were a golf fan you’d realize watching an underdog close it out without breaking a sweat on the back 9 is awesome, aesthetics be damned.
Matthew “Fairways are overrated” Fitzpatrick@MatthewFairways
Castle tees. Iron covers. Rain gloves Aaron Rai winning does nothing for golf Should have been Rahm or JT Never liked Rai, & I never will

@lporiginalg I wouldn’t countersignal him because I don’t care that he hurts feelings or even that he shot one. I support him and thought he was funny.
But he knew what could happen. He sought out this situation and it found him.
And “hope the ROMANS do something” …? Hah. Ooook.
English

@SchefflerLegion This is awful. Throwing away a major chance
English

@DanDrullinger Can’t believe he did that. The owner should have spoken with him………
English

@CamYoungLegion Yea… he could never win a big event like The Players or a Signature Event… what a bum!

@KVanValkenburg Who is in charge at ABC News that would want stories from 538 to go away?
English

So much valuable shit is disappearing from the internet. The benign explanation is someone looks at an Excel sheet & decides they don't want to pay for the server space. The more cynical explanation is powerful people would like it to go away so they can write their own history.

ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

@Mike_kim714 @garrett_TFE It’s not just distance and it’s certainly not just the ball. All of the equipment being easier to hit (and hit farther with optimized spin) de-skills the game.
If you went around Aronimink tomorrow with hickories and a wound ball, you’d have to think more.
English

@garrett_TFE @AndyMalone1966 Honest question, if the ball goes shorter, doesn’t the strategy get even more simplified?
English

Unstated here, sadly, is that if the only way you can generate strategic interest off the tee is by planting trees in the line of play and fundamentally changing the nature of a 100-year-old Donald Ross design, your problem is bigger than the tree-removal trend.

full quote... "The greens are the main focus this week"
English

@Mike_kim714 @garrett_TFE I think that’s his point. The problem eluded to here is the out-of-control equipment ruining the game.
English

@garrett_TFE There’s not much strategy off the tee in most courses because stats show driver is almost always the play. Idk if there’s that much strategy off the tee at Augusta even to be honest
