@LouStagner Let’s think about how the game was created…there’s a hole and a ball to hit it into…figure it out. Same concept exists to this day, whether your ball ends up in a divot or not. Let’s not make up rules that arent fundamental to the game. If you believe otherwise its not golf

What do you think? My friend thinks you should NOT be allowed to use anything other than putter on a green. Not me.

@BrentleyGC So is his brother? Do we have another Teder situation to root for later this morning?!

Estonia’s Richard Teder is scary long

@JohnStrege @Evan_Schiller @TheOlympicClub @USGA Well placed ad sir…you win

@Evan_Schiller @TheOlympicClub @USGA Where Nathaniel Crosby won the U.S. Amateur in 1981, one of the most memorable U.S. Amateurs ever, recounted here in his book: amazon.com/18-Holes-Bing-…

Next week the US Amateur returns to the Lake & Ocean courses at @TheOlympicClub with the match play part of the tournament being played on The Lake Course...The 2025 US Amateur will be the 91st @USGA championship played in California and the 12th at The Olympic Club.

@Cutterthecaddie @Golfingbrock I feel bad for that turf

@Golfingbrock A lot going on there

How would you react if someone in your group did this?

Dear pros who Monday Q, I have hopefully helped some of you thru the years of this account. And now I need a small favor. I need three Monday qualifiers to win on the Pga tour in 2025. (four seemed greedy) The ultimate middle finger on the way out the door. Thanks.

@acaseofthegolf1 @flygriz Clearly a man for the small guys just trying to fulfill their dream…wait a sec!

@flygriz I have no idea.

* Posts picture of a mini-check. “You have been an open opponent of LIV, contradiction at times amazes me” I'm sorry, what?

@Cutterthecaddie @bayareabasketb And probably an easier up and down from the right bunker. Where you at @LouStagner?

@bayareabasketb I don't disagree, but there's sand on the left too 😉😎

CUTTER TAKES THE HIGH ROAD Sometimes, as a caddie, you can't win. In todays' example, Cutter's player is on hole 13 and is 175 yards to the center of the green. Cutter explains that the shot will require an extra club for the uphill and an extra club for the wind. It is also conveyed that the preferred line should be left of the pin towards a tall palm tree. The player hit a solid shot, but roughly 10 yards right of what was talked about. Cutter explains that it might be possible that the ball ended up in the green side bunker. It was. Now the player is miffed that Cutter didn't tell him that there was a bunker over there. Next hole, the #1 handicap, par 5 14th. A strong par 5. Cutter articulates that the drive should be at the tall chimneys on the house ahead and NOT over the bunker that was visible on the right. After hitting towards the chimneys, the hole will dogleg to the right. The player hits a solid ball over the bunker that Cutter said NOT to go over. Cutter explains that there is another bunker beyond that one that is visible and it's possible he might have found it. Again, the player gets his panties in more of a dander and scolds Cutter for not providing a full description of what lay ahead. Cutter reminded the player that he was told NOT to go over that bunker, yet the player stated equivocally "if I would have known there was a bunker beyond the one in view, I definitely would not have hit it over there!" Both Cutter and player barked at each other for a couple more seconds and then that was it. Time to let it go. Cutter explains the layout on the 15th hole to the player. Cutter's instructions were "aim at the bunkering you can see down the right side of the fairway. Those bunkers aren't reachable, but the bunkers down the left side of the fairway are reachable". The player drives his ball hard down the left side and finds a fairway bunker. Now the player had just stated that if he'd known there were bunkers in certain places he would never hit there. Yet here he was, fully informed of the landscape before his tee shot and he still found his way into the hazard. Cutter took the high road by not bringing that up. The player knew it and our spat had ended in the middle of the last fairway. Time for the business at hand and not petty bickering. 🤜🤛 Cutter has been looping there for 26 years. On week one...Cutter learned to say "my fault sir". 😆😆 To a point...😎

@the_fried_egg Gotta love the first tee gallery “fore left” calls. Wouldn’t hear that in the states

If you are up in the middle of the night watching this disjointed, commercial-laden Peacock coverage of the first groups out at the Open, you're a mark. However, you are not alone, and I support you.

@the_fried_egg Is Matthew Jordan already this tournaments Michael Block?

Open Championship Q&A What burning questions do you have? Course Qs? Need a hot gambling tip? In/Out/Alternate?

@the_fried_egg @sd_cooper Banana ball off the 195 sprinkler. Think stinger slice

The first group is on the third hole, the members' opener. If you want to hit your drive more than ~270 yards, you have to aim over the corner of the OB berm, and you'll also risk running through the fairway. A brute—and I genuinely have no idea how I'd play it. 📸 @sd_cooper

@RiggsBarstool Head to head bets, fall asleep after 9, wake up to scroll through the losses…best way to start to the day!

10:35pm local time here in Arizona and I’m about to watch the opening tee shot of the British Open. Should I just stay up at this point? Forever??

@acaseofthegolf1 Played with Luke day before US Open sectionals last year. Guy qualified while carrying his own bag and we watched with him as he found out he made it. Couldn’t have been a nicer guy! LET’S GO LUKE!!

Luke Gannon is one of my favorite stories I’ve done. His dad is a pastor. Luke worked at church for years as the maintenance person and janitor, including his first few years as a pro. Luke Monday Qualified for the KFT event this week.

Do work Eddy!!

@SISportsRadioKC our guy @eddyrai17! Let’s gooooooo!!!

@acaseofthegolf1 Shoulda called in the local…we’d have em dialed in no time! If it looks like it’s breaks…it won’t

This is why if you can go watch practice rounds. Nellys caddie marked tomorrows pin w a tee. Then threw some balls into rough and she chipped from there. Then he threw balls on the front fringe. He wanted to see if they would stay there. Then they got together and discussed where the best miss was for tomorrow. You get to see the work and discussions that happen before the discussions that happen on tv before a shot.

@acaseofthegolf1 @Golf_Ryno @CeliaPalermo @KornFerryTour live stream FTW!! Looked good the whole way🤙

@Golf_Ryno @CeliaPalermo No

Omg Scott Gutschewski just made a 40- foot bomb on the Korn Ferry Tour to win at age 46. It’s his first win in FIFTEEN years. And his interview w @CeliaPalermo is awesome. He’s bawling. He’s been at it a long time. Battled injuries. Now finally back in the winners circle.

@NoLayingUp #witness

@SISportsRadioKC @tcgillis May have to use this move in our next Armageddon match😂

@tcgillis Awful. These are terrific players who have played in many tournaments growing up. What happened to golf etiquette

No way!

@GolfweekNichols I’ll take course record holders for $500…who is Rose Zhang

Alright sports fans, who gets added to the wall this summer?

@GolfTravelerJoe 17 on #2…Deuce coin ✅

Ok picture time y’all, show me THE best par 3 you played for the first time this year.
