@fried_egg_golf Seems like a good hole concept! Too bad this one is on ‘Unfortunately, It’s A Golf Course’

"Walking the grounds during the tournament, I kept noticing elements of Muirfield Village — another venue that places a premium on ball-striking — in both the design and presentation. Though the two golf courses play and look quite different, they share a common characteristic in this iteration of TPC Sawgrass: You can find fairways and greens, but offline shots are met with steep penalties. When that criteria is met, the cream tends to rise to the top. "Thick rough alone is not a recipe for a proper test. At Muirfield Village, the primary design tactic is the combination of thick rough and penalty hazards in front of greens, essentially forcing players who miss the fairway to lay up short of the hazard. Otherwise, they risk finding water or going over the back of greens into more thick rough, leaving a treacherous up-and-down save, especially when the greens are firm. Thick rough may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I’d prefer if golf courses could provide a stout test without resorting to six-inch rough, but it was a proper, challenging setup at TPC Sawgrass over the last four days. And the players most equipped to handle the test revealed themselves." - @JosephLaMagna in today's newsletter

@JosephLaMagna First Canada loses, and now I have to explain this tweet to my coworkers. Tough scene for me.

Chins up, Canada. You still have TPC Toronto

@YoungerGolf @Topgolf @CallawayGolf Looks vaguely familiar…. #IYKYK

“Fourth caddie? That’s a fucking record now!” - Shane Lowry, with a beauty. Al Riddell is local, great guy. Nine holes to go. Was watching on TV and came right over.

@scottcwheeler @adam_stanley This would have broken our brains permanently in 2015.

@adam_stanley Two Mackenzie Tour legends, you love to see it.

A long time in the making, and an incredible accomplishment by so many folks I’ve been lucky to know behind the scenes. We’re celebrating today 🏆

A treat to get a behind-the-scenes look at @HamiltonGolf for today’s @RBCCanadianOpen Media Day ⛳️ First class show run by @DanPino22, @BryanCrawford40 and team. Buzzing with excitement for this year’s event in just a few short weeks.

@acaseofthegolf1 I will not stand for this Paul Barjon erasure!

In 2019 on the Canadian Tour Jake Knapp and Taylor Pendrith dominated. They finished 1-2 on points list, each had two wins, both had a runner-up, and both finished over $120K. Now they are battling it out for a win on the pga tour.

@michaelgrange @TPC_Toronto Hey Michael, I hear you. Sent you an email and happy to chat offline.

@TPC_Toronto It’s a real shame that three wonderful, walkable courses now have mandatory cart fees. If people want or need to take carts that’s totally fine. But charging players for what they don’t want — and which is unnecessary — is a huge disappointment to this longtime customer.

New Season. New Clubhouse. New Carts. Included in all green fees this season, check out our brand new fleet of EZ-GO RXV ELiTE carts.

@TronCarterNLU Mr. TC, just wanted to log on and say that your 'torpedo right to Charley's Hull' bit didn't go unappreciated. Thank you.

Media Man back in the wild this week. Big day ahead with @PGATOURCanada to cap off an action-packed week at @TPC_Toronto. 📸: @TheRealCFry

No shame in finishing third to @TheRealCFry in a nice photo contest. I was pleased to see this shot make it into @SCOREGolf last year and very happy to make my first @GJ_AC Awards list yesterday. Here's the snap (pre-clubhouse construction... 18 looks a little different now!)

Play suspended has me thinking back to this minor key rendition of Augusta @dylan_dethier unearthed in 2020 lockdown days 😖

@NoLayingUp FWIW we could watch it on TSN in Canada. Didn't even know it wasn't on everywhere. Damn.

Almost certainly this is an Augusta thing and not a CBS thing (I'm sure they would have LOVED to have come on the air early), but man, this is TOUGH.

Sooooo CBS was recording and commenting these past few hours and they just weren't showing it live?

10. Rory in the cabins 11. Mize chip-in 12. Jordan in '16 😖 13. Phil thru the trees 14. Phil enter in '10 15. Phil near 3 straight eagles in '10 16. IN YOUR LIFE 17. Tiger under the Eisenhower tree?? 18. Clutch Weir "not like this" par saver

Love this idea. Here's mine: 1. Ernie 6-putt 😖 2. Rory stuff/missed eagle bunny '18 3. Schwartzel dunk 4. Safari Phil dink off grandstands '12 5. Rory skip shot out of bunker '18 6. Tiger "be perfect" slinger 7. Tiger dunk 8. Tiger slinger 3-wood '11 9. Tiger insane 2-putt '19
