@CarnoustieCad I was one of those once in a lifetimers. Three trips later, I can’t wait to go back. Having a pint or two at Caledonia is the perfect finish to the day. I sure wish I could get Tennent’s in Texas!

Golfing in Scotland is better than you can imagine.
Many things in life promise everything and deliver nothing. Scotland promises everything and somehow over-delivers.
The town of St Andrews is electric — the architecture, the textured history, an atmosphere very few towns can carry.
Dornoch is spectacular. Every view is breathtaking. You feel like you're at the edge of the world.
Carnoustie — my favourite place in the world. The town of 4,000 that took the game to the corners of the earth. Golf's greatest test. Beautiful and beguiling, tempting and devious. The most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Edinburgh, my favourite city on earth. Bagpipers, a nearly 1,000-year-old castle, bars, restaurants, and more atmosphere than it knows what to do with.
We Scots love to show off our wee country. You'll be welcomed with open arms as long-lost cousins.
But be warned. Over the years I've watched countless bucket-listers arrive for their "once in a lifetime" golf trip. Then I see them again a few years later. And again after that. And again.
Scotland gets under your skin. The 11pm sunsets. Beers on the rooftop bar looking over the Old Course. Family, friends, and the sound of someone who thought they were coming once, already planning the next trip.
The question is whats stopping you?

@CarnoustieCad That is amazing. Scotland doesn’t right when it comes to golf. We should learn from them here in the USA. And I really like the etiquette requirement. We have way too many knuckleheads here that are new to golf.

Q: "I read that you were inspired when you were in Scotland to one day open a golf course where kids could play for very little and really encourage them to play." Ryan Gerard: "Yeah, I was over here maybe 10-12 years ago, there's something really cool about the culture where there's a pub, then there's a kid's course that's either free or like five pounds or whatever it is. That's not a model we really have in the United States, and I think it would encourage a lot more people to get out there and get involved if that were the case."

@CarnoustieCad I absolutely love Carnoustie. I’ve been blessed to play it 3 times, and every time it was like a whole new experience. Absolutely magical!

Carnoustie is a Cathedral of golf
My in-laws arrived in Scotland today from Latvia. I took them for a drink at the Carnoustie Hotel.
Golf isn't a thing where they come from. My mother-in-law was struggling.
Translated conversation through my partner.
Why do people travel here. Why do they pay so much. What makes it special.
I tried a few answers. Nothing was landing.
Then it hit me.
Carnoustie is a cathedral of golf. If you love football or baseball or speedway, you can't play Wrigley Field. You can't step onto Madison Square Garden.
You can only watch from the stands.
But if you love golf, you can play Carnoustie. You can play the Old Course.
You can walk the same ground the greatest players in history walked.
You can hit the same shots they hit.
That's what people are paying for.
Not just a round of golf. A chance to actually stand where history stood.
She got it.
What courses do you think are American Cathedrals of golf?
English
@ScottishOpen Why isn’t there tv coverage for the entirety of the round in the USA?

I’m not kidding, I wouldn’t be surprised if Texas Tech is in the SEC sooner rather than later. Seems like them and the big 12 are fed up with each other and tech has the money to pay their way in. It will be up to if Sankey can be bought out or not. Idk how I feel abt it but I think it has a decent chance of happening.

Texas Tech's Joey McGuire: "If you're a Texan & you're a fan of football in this state, then why would you go outside the state to play non-conference games. Because you have such good football in this state. I would love to play Texas, Texas A&M & SMU because I think it's great for the state of Texas"

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.

@nickshirleyy We would be better off as a nation if California just went away. Secede. Be your own nation. We don’t want you. And take NYC with you. Good grief what a bunch of fools.

🚨 Today the California Senate Committee held a hearing on the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” known as AB 2624. This bill will criminalize and punish anyone from looking into fraud inside immigrant communities in California.
This bill was created only after I exposed billions of dollars in fraud throughout immigrant communities in the US. “Immigration support services” have become a billion dollar industry in California, and now that the fraud has been exposed, they are trying to criminalize those who look into the fraud.
The bill has passed through the California Assembly and is set to pass through the Senate and then to Governor Newsom’s desk. This bill was created by the Attorney Generals WIFE and will allow him to go after citizens if they film nonprofits and “immigration support services providers”.
Welcome to Califraudia.

Germany did not lose the World Cup yesterday. It was robbed from a title by Americans.
Some insane info from people close to the team:
1. German players could not sleep the night before because of gunshots outside the hotel
2. Hotel manager kept offering fentanyl to German coaches, when they refused he called them "eurocucks"
3. Many players got sick because hotels had AC blasting extremely cold
4. Hotel staff kept playing loud African-American rap music at 3am
5. The German hotel was a 5-hour drive from the stadium
6. Players were served only chicken nuggets
7. The water cost $12 + tip so the team was dehydrated
This is what happens when you let a country with no culture host the world's biggest sports tournament

Witnessed this while I was in Lubbock last month
I’ll say this…the access they’ve had during the Sorsby ordeal was pretty surprising & could lead to some fascinating content

Paramount+ is doing a four-part docuseries on Texas Tech football. The series has been in production since January. What could they possibly have to document?

Keegan Bradley was asked about the treatment of Wyndham Clark by the New York fans at last week’s US Open:
“I think that golf is in the process of leaving just the golf world, where people are coming to tournaments that are sports fans and that's how, you know, people in New York cheer on the Knicks or the Giants or whatever. And they're coming to tournaments and they're sports fans, and they're golfers, but I think that we're entering a time where the game is really growing in popularity. I think people are coming to golf tournaments to have a good time.
“I found it a little surprising, considering Wyndham's American, and at the U.S. Open, but Scottie Scheffler's a really popular player going for the Grand Slam. Unfortunate, but hey, I mean, Wyndham won, so he handled it really well. I think it's just, we're in an interesting time here where golf is really taking off and we're seeing a different group of people coming to these tournaments.”

Keegan Bradley says the new PGA Tour format in 2028 will be “extremely competitive”, with “extreme consequences”. He also said you can’t rely on a good year two years ago, you’ve got to prove it every single year: “I think the stuff that Brian announced is sort of what we've been hearing, confirmed what we're going to do. It's going to be just extremely competitive. Golf has always been a sport where you have to earn what you get and, like, this is going to become even more so with that. I mean, you're going to see players that are, you know, top, top players that -- you know, I think a lot of the Europeans that don't get to play a full schedule out here, where they're playing 14, 15 events, because -- they better play some solid golf in those, because the consequences now are extreme. “You're going from playing the biggest tournaments in the world to you're not in 'em, which is going to be really, really intense. I think the membership is very aware of that and golf is now even more so becoming a result-oriented sport. Can't rely on, I had a good year two years ago, you got to prove it every year, which I think is great.” The PGA Tour Championship Series is without doubt going to become more competitive and cutthroat. If they follow through with the current plans, there will be no place to hide and if top players have a bad season, they’re going to be relegated, regardless of how big of a name they are. That’s going to be really fun to watch. Keegan was also asked if it was strange the PGA Tour hasn’t been to the big markets of Boston, New York or Chicago in the last couple of years: “Yeah, very strange. I think if you spoke to everyone of the membership they would all sort of agree that this is like the best place to play golf for us, especially as the season, end of the summer into the fall. Who knows how the schedule is going to evolve, and maybe there will be a swing in the northeast. But I think it's really important that we play golf courses like The Country Club, like the golf courses all over New York, all over Philadelphia. These are just how, you know, I grew up playing courses, tree-lined, rough, I think that they're great for tournament venues.” @PGATOUR @TravelersChamp
