The Millennium Bridge cost £18m. In my experience it is thronged all day every day. This suggests to me: 1. It was an amazingly good investment; and 2. London should almost certainly have more bridges than it does at the moment. Is this right, and if so, where should the additional bridges be?

@AntiToxicPeople Wow that vest really brings out his skin tone

@_LFGolf The shot of whiskey at the turn. 100% success on that one.

If you had to pick one golf shot you know you can pull of with 100% confidence, what would it be? Can't be a tap-in putt

@DCBarno Hell no. That’s one of my absolute favorite sports-fan memories. Most of my MD sports memories are far more painful 😂

@JustMike14 We blew the next two games and missed a bowl game for the 10th straight year. And there has never been one second I’ve looked back at that moment and thought hey maybe we shouldn’t have rushed the field that day.

Few things irritate me more than the weirdo gatekeepers of fan celebrations. Only time in their lives these Maryland students have experienced rushing the field. Let them enjoy the moment. We did it my senior year too after a huge comeback over unranked NC State. I lost a shoe.

@scottgolfs Send me that first one, I’ll game it for the next 20 years and tell everyone where I got it 😁

Thoughts on these putter designs? Would you game one of them?

@OrsonRosas No, but you can say you drove through then green.

Par-4, reachable off the tee. You hit driver. You get to the green. You see that the ball mark is on the putting surface, but the ball came to rest on the fringe. Can you say you drove this green?

@MidwestGolfJake 79 to 104 - 25 stroke spread. Been keeping a spreadsheet of my scores since 2004 and this year has the highest std deviation of them all…by far.

So far this year my best score is 70 (-2) and my worst score is 91 (+21). I think that's the biggest spread I've had in a number of years. The fact that we can have swings that large in this game is wild! I can't think of anything equivalent in other sports to the wild swings we see in golf.

@LouStagner I most enjoy the game walking. Better rhythm, fitness benefit, time to enjoy the views and chat with other players, etc . With that said I understand we all enjoy the game in our own way and do not judge the healthy player who makes that sad, lame, weak, morally repugnabt choice

How about we just let people play golf however they want to play? As long as they are respectful to the staff, other players and the course, why should you care if they choose to ride? The post below is exactly what golf needs less of. ⛳️

@EliteGolfDad @PegFrenchy From 146, tracking, ended up 4” right of the cup. We saw it kick to the right at the hole…so it either hit the pin or lipped out…meaning the ball was OVER THE HOLE, slow enough to stop that close, and still didn’t drop. Glad I already have one or that would haunt me forever.

Tee shot on par 3 last night never left the stick. Hit just short, spun off the lip back to a couple feet. Everything but in the hole. Bummer. I have one hole-in-one. They’re really hard to make unless you’re @PegFrenchy Tell me your hole-in-one story or near misses.

@MidwestGolfJake Three-putted 18 the first time I broke 100… and the first time I broke 80 😂. Can’t remember the first time under 90.

A little reminiscing this morning. I'm thinking about the first time I broke 80. I'd love to hear your stories of the first time you hit a milestone score. For me, 80 was the hardest one to break because 1) I'm mental, and 2) it's just hard to hit the ball less than 80 times! I had several rounds where I had come close and shot 80 or 81, but I always buckled at the end. The day I finally did it, I shattered the barrier. I was in high school and was playing my normal daily summer round of golf. I went out in 40, which for me at the time was a good front 9. The front 9 at Meadowbrook in Rapid City has always been the more difficult 9 for me. So 79 was in the back of my head. I started the back 9 solidly with 5 consecutive pars, but then bogeyed 15 and 16 to go to +6. I was cracking under the pressure. 17 is a medium length par 3 and the pin was forward, so I went with a 7 iron and I flagged it. Had a two footer for birdie which I made. So now I'm strutting to 18. The 18th is a par 5, so I was pretty sure I could double it. I hooked my tee shot into the trees and had to punch it down the fairway for my 2nd shot. I was left with 153 into the green (don't ask me why I remember that). I choked up on a 7 iron and hit a beautiful 3/4 trap draw to 3 feet. I made the putt and posted a 76! Shattered the milestone. 30 years later and I still remember it like it was yesterday! Golf is an amazing game.

@LouStagner Reach it in 3

You’re on a par 5. You can’t reach the green in two shots. What should you do? 🧵👇

@kclairerogers Typically I’m chipping in from 10 yards out to salvage that 84 😂

8-10 handicaps, this one’s for you

“He made an up & down on 18 to shoot 84”

@Cackalacman Guess there’s a difference between being really long and knowing how to manage your game. Not like I have either skill 🙄

If you are accustomed to playing the tips, do you guys feel cramped when you move up a box to play w/ your playing partners. I usually play from 6800-7k. I moved up yesterday (6400) to play w/ 3 friends and it felt way different. Course just seems so compact and cramped up there. Am I the only one that feels the course opens up from the tips?

What’s your absolute must have non-golf item that’s in your bag? Mine is chapstick. Honorable mention is a speaker of some sort.

What do you use to mark your ball? (and please don't tell me it's the ridiculous little marker that came on your glove)
