@JDLuebe @LandmandG Look at the hole or where you want the ball to “die” during your stoke instead of the ball. Instant cure.

Scrolling through my camera roll while also Googling “how to cure putting yips” the morning of @LandmandG is a frightening exercise. Any last minute yips tips for me?

@Top100Rick You’d think concussions and broken bones and clubs would deter this kind of thing.

We need an international registry for golf dipshits. Lifetime ban from golf. #shrinkthegame

@mjpesquire @Top100Rick That’s my thought with photo 2 (top right). Makes a recovery almost impossible, even a great one.

@Top100Rick Yeah, but if you have a tree guarding the green, do you really need to put bunkers in directly behind it (as in photo #3)?

In defense of trees: Trees are being knocked down by the thousands on USA golf courses, for strategic, aesthetic, historic, and agronomic reasons. They have become villains. But in Japan, trees are venerated. They stand tall and proud. Tree removal is definitely happening, but appears to be very selective. Having strategic trees in play seems to be the norm versus the exception. Tree removal certainly has its place. But so do trees. Trees have spirit and life. Trees provide a sense of place. Trees can provide strategy and challenge. Trees can even nullify distance problems by making angles really matter. I’m not against tree removal when it fits the course history and the character of the area. But trees can be wondrous and beautiful. I think sometimes a middle ground would be the place to be.

@laz_versalles Because tradition is a good reason to stop people from trying something new.

Can someone tell me why Zach Johnson’s wife is involved in any Ryder Cup prep beyond the uniforms? Her Tea Party/Michele Bachman face should be a concern to American fans.

@reedsw0rld @caddietales Just don’t be a weiner. The odds for an amateur making a long putt with pressure on is pretty low anyway and transferring that pressure to the caddie is unnecessary and childish. Own your game.

@caddietales We're playing matches when we come to Wisconsin for our trip next summer. Will make sure I don't bother you with our presence.

I’ve come to dislike caddying for guys that are playing a match, which is odd because you’d think it would add to the fun. But inevitably it leads to a guy on the 17th or 18th hole standing over a 60 foot putt and saying, “Give me your best read. I really need to make this.” Usually that’s followed by a look of disdain after they don’t. Happens every match! Probably my biggest caddie pet peeve. And it wouldn’t have to happen if they’d only made any of the countless 3-5 footers they pushed or pulled on the first 16 holes. 😂 Here I stand, I will not waver!

@ftandru @abstrother There’s all kinds of things done on golf courses the members don’t want recorded. This wouldn’t be the worst of it.

How this stuff happens I do not understand. At a private club no less.

@abstrother @OttawaGolferSue Unless the pins stay in the same spot, that doesn’t look fresh to have been that near when done. Also, it looks like the club needs to have an education night on fixing ordinary pitch marks.

@OttawaGolferSue And 4 feet from the hole

@Hammbear2024 @laz_versalles Maybe the guys insisting on taking it out are being unreasonable, especially if they’re outside 15’ where the chances of making it are pretty low anyway

Last 5-6 rounds I’ve had one player in the group who putts with the pin in and it slows down everything. Let’s go back to pull the pin when you’re on the green.

@higdon2262 @BogeyBeGone @laz_versalles Every study does not show that. There are studies that show the opposite. In most cases, it simply doesn’t matter. The preference is the by-product of an antiquated rule and bad anecdotes.

@loope_cam I bought one for my wife, who said she wouldn’t use it, and she uses it at least twice a week now if not more.

Finally upgrading to some new kitchen toys. The Dutch oven has been on the list for awhile.

@LouStagner Scott Fawcett would be crushing it on here if he’d stuck around

For the month of July, X (formerly known as Twitter), paid me $710.72. My stats for context. I am seeing other people post their payouts and stats... Some of them have similar impressions to me, but were paid significantly more. When you scroll their feed, they are posting a lot of "controversial" Sh*! posts intended to drive engagement. A lot of bait meant to get as many comments as possible.

@Caesar33Jo38723 @LouStagner Not true because they are just unequal at different skills.

The woods are NOT full of long hitters. They are actually full of short hitters.

@BCOz70 @LouStagner They are also shorter because a straight ball goes longer even when trees aren’t in the way

@LouStagner You realize that the tee shots in the 🌳 are much shorter than they would have been, had they not hit the 🌳 trees 🌲. Truly don’t understand this statement. Short b/c it would be longer if hit squared in play?

@Kygolfnews It’s a pinnacle

To claim your ball name the brand and number. Also gonna need to see an employee ID lol

@PGALIVHotTakes Looks like he’s getting paid in Kohl’s cash

Tiger Woods is now added to the PGA Tour Policy Board. How does this effect the merger? I think it just means a big pay day for Tiger

@Vibe_Motif @scottaxe @MyGolfSpy Yep and that’s why they are spending loads on sponsorship of non-professional youtubers too

@scottaxe @MyGolfSpy Nope. Korda swapped hers for a titleist and shot 64 Mcilroy rather use sim2 Well documented Taylor made is worse on tour

If there were 🚫 no sponsorships on the PGA Tour, what do you think the #1 driver brand would be?

@lowlevelbuzz @LouStagner Not true. Kids just aren’t treated like adults because science says their brains aren’t developed to necessarily think like adults. Also, jail doesn’t work for most issues. Most people that show disrespect are ones that have been disrespected their whole life.

@LouStagner Our kids are repeatedly shown that actions have no consequences; that there is no personal responsibility. This is the result.

Someone should start a GoFundMe campaign. The money would be a reward for the info leading to the arrest of the perps. I would donate. Let's raise a bunch of cash. Then we spread this far and wide on social media. What course is this? Anyone know?

@freewilllyyyy @ncristea1985 @AmandaGolf59 Reclamation sites of many types unsuitable for housing unless they want to end up in a hole.

@ncristea1985 @AmandaGolf59 Tell me about it, I play on South Shore Long Island 😂😅😅

I hate these people ~so~ much

@the_transit_guy @RM_Transit It can’t just be faster. It has to be more convenient.

Transit that’s faster than cars is how we get people out of their vehicles. (@RM_Transit)

@the_transit_guy Public, but that doesn’t mean free. Children’s museums are public, but they sure aren’t free.

When you hear the term “green space”, do you associate it with public or private access?
