I’m outraged by this hateful, anti-Muslim attack in our city. No one should be targeted with slurs, threats, or violence—ever.
Muslim New Yorkers deserve to move through this city in safety and dignity.
Islamophobia has no place here, and we will not tolerate it.

@DatBoyCanGolf69 @ScottONeil @SharkGregNorman Totally agree. The new leader board for 2026 is a major step backward.

Day 5 of my unrelenting campaign to compel Mr. @ScottONeil to restore the vividly illustrious leaderboard & stately exhibit all birdies & eagles on the primary broadcast, as masterfully stewarded by Mr. @SharkGregNorman. This is no request. Compliance is mandatory #FreeTheBoard

@GolfloverUK Pedantic much? We created a US Open, therefore we Americans needed to distinguish the two. Now we’re being language policed by ESPN and a defeated empire. It’s the British Fucking Open. Deal with it.

No such thing as the British Open just Americans calling it by the wrong name.
Claude is clear and is the bastion of truth
“The Open Championship was indeed simply called “The Open” from its very first edition in 1860 at Prestwick. It was the original open golf championship — open to any golfer, amateur or professional — hence the name. There was no need to specify “British” because at the time there was no other Open to distinguish it from.
The “British Open” label crept in largely through American usage. As golf expanded globally and the US Open was established in 1895, American broadcasters, journalists and fans needed a way to differentiate between the two events for their audience. Calling it the “British Open” was a natural shorthand — it told American viewers exactly where it was being played without needing any further explanation, although they didn’t need to, one is the Open and the other is the US Open.
Over decades that Americanism became so widespread, particularly through US television coverage, that it stuck with American audiences — even though it was never the official name and was always considered incorrect, or at least imprecise, by purists and the R&A.
The R&A have been pretty deliberate in recent years about pushing back on it. Their branding, broadcasting deals and communications consistently use “The Open Championship” or simply “The Open” — and you’ll notice the on-screen graphics and commentary on the official broadcast now strictly avoids “British Open.”
So it’s essentially a case of an informal American nickname becoming so embedded that it outlasted its usefulness — even as the R&A reasserted the original and correct name. For anyone who knows their golf history, “British Open” is a bit like calling Augusta the “Georgia Masters.” Technically communicates something, but misses the point entirely.

@bubbleboi Same with Boston. Just did it last week to and from airport. Not ideal.

@smajmj95 @JoshACarpenter It had literally just poured rain for an hour prior to this shot. The course was very nice.
English

@JoshACarpenter Nice rough. That is the course they choose to hold a tournament at? Looks the goat track they played at in Orlando.

@Cernovich Dude, yo’re way overboard with this Joe Kent defense. Not going to end well IMHO.

It’s so sad that @DataRepublican did so much investigative work on the funding and ties to left wing terrorism in our country and instead of chasing those leads, Joe Kent watched Candace Owens all day.

@ChefReactions As a former USAF aviator and airline traveler, I can assure you it’s much worse to shit in a plane that’s in a sporting venue. And I’v e done all of the above.

@ChefReactions I call it “getting a road win”…Have shat at several sports stadiums, including, but not limited to: second ever game at Busch Stadium in STL in 2006; Keybank Center in Buffalo; the ass stadiums in Nashville and Jacksonville, and many more that I’ve forgotten. Thanks for asking.
