If the Sonics came back tomorrow, what era jersey are you riding in with?

@Mike_kim714 The hardest hole in golf?

Thoughts from Pebble: -18th hole is the hardest hole in golf 😬🤦🏻‍♂️ -Really up and down week… Swing felt really good at times and really bad at times. I don’t feel like I’m too far off but not sharp either. Will work on my swing with Sean and try and get it going this week. -My short game was consistently bad though haha 😅. Couldn’t figure out the bunkers very well, and chipping was off. Not technique wise, just off with my touch. -Speaking of which, a tip for all you amateurs. You have to open the face when hitting bunker shots. The leading edge just digs way too much when you keep that face square. When you open the face, it doesn’t dig as much and you can release it more which is a better motion overall. -My amateur partners were great to play with. Thomas and Michael were both really nice guys and I hope they enjoyed their time. The weather the first two days were really great. Pebble in good weather is so so sick. -Good part is that my putting has definitely improved from last yr. I had a little trouble with greens being so slow this week but I’m finding my groove with my putting way more than last yr.

@Top100Rick I played it a week after the last US Open there and this is spot on. IMHO Rustic Canyon in Moorpark, CA is a far superior course. Public. Gil Hanse at his best and a quarter of the price.

Is Torrey Pines overrated? 15 years ago, Torrey Pines was beloved. A muni PGA Tour course and home of Tiger’s glorious US Open on one leg. But as golf course architecture ideas spread on social media, so did the hate on Torrey. Is it justified? My take on Torrey Pines: It’s an awesome setting for golf. The weather is amazing. The views are excellent. The fact that it’s public means so much, anybody can show up and play this major test. But the golf course itself? It’s pretty much just okay. You won’t remember most holes and you won’t be asked to think. You will try to keep the ball out of the deep rough and then you will hit it again. The incredible land isn’t used to its potential. The green complexes won’t spark any joy and your creative mind won’t be activated. It’s still golf at a great place and I’ll always have fun there. Golf is awesome. And public major golf is rare, Torrey Pines gives us that. Torrey currently ranks #40 on the Golf Digest top 100 public. Taking a quick glance, I’d put it quite a bit lower. (If trying to judge the golf course alone, not the major history.) Should you play it? If you love golf history, then yes. I am glad I’ve played it and will play it again

@PaulAustin3w 💯. It can be scary but overall crucial.

Psychedelics don't create permanent change. Instead, they catalyze a window for change. We call this "re-opening the critical learning period." If you don't take advantage of this opening, the brain defaults back to its original state. And you miss a golden opportunity.

@BowTied_Golfer 💯 as long as you are honest with yourself about your yardages. Which I call the "pick the club you know will reach the green or you cut off a finger". That clarifies things.

Gut instinct tells me a lot of amateurs would play better by simply eyeballing distances. For better or worse (in the moment) it's a good skill to build. Eyeballing forces you to build feel, and in some cases, get creative. Both are net positives.

@PaulAustin3w Agree. Ketamine therapy is crap. Dial up 5grams of Penis Envy and an hour on K is non-alcoholic beer.

Ketamine creates distance from your thoughts. Psilocybin mushrooms dissolve the thinker entirely. Both are called "psychedelics." Only one actually is.

@chadmumm 3. Right answers only.

You can only play one style of course for the rest of your life, what are you choosing? 1. Ocean 2. Desert 3. True links 4. Parkland

@RealEmirHan 👍

The opening of this film will haunt you “Children of Men” is unreal. It starts off quiet, with a news report about the death of the youngest person on Earth… then out of nowhere, boom. It pulls you into chaos, and you know this isn’t your typical film.

@DivotDoctrine Except the time I played I got my first hole in one with a 4 hybrid....

Hot take: a 4 iron is better than a 4 hybrid, not a debate

@NUCLRGOLF That is appointment televsion. Champions Tour should just give Block a card for 5 years. He'll contend every couple of weeks.

🚨🧱🐅 #NEW — Turning 50 this June, Michael Block says he will turn his attention to trying to get Champions Tour exemptions and wants to compete against Tiger Woods. “I had never even thought about that in my life, but I literally had dreams about me coming down the stretch at a tournament against Tiger.” Would you be ready for this duel? @TWlegion (Via @bunkeredgolf)

@Top100Rick 12 Augusta at Renditions in Maryland. I loved it. I've played Cypress, LACC North, Riviera and Torrey Pines. Tribute courses are fun.

What does X golf think about tribute courses? Can you tell which golf hole this is a replica of? (Some golfers don’t like tribute courses…I like them. 99% won’t ever play most famous courses, so let’s have some fun on replicas. Why not?)

@CinemaTweets1 LA Confidential. Right answers only.

Chinatown was recently named by the LA Times as the Best L.A. Movie of All Time. I like this decision. You guys know Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor, and this might be his best performance. The problem I’m having is I don’t know if anything tops Heat. That might be LA’s best.

@NUCLRGOLF 5 wood in the water on first try. A year later 5 wood down on the beach:(

🚨🌊🏌🏻‍♂️ #DISCUSSION — You’re playing #16 at Cypress Point which has been a lifelong dream of yours. 210 to the pin… playing 190… wind is swirling, water everywhere… What are you hitting?

@the_P_God 👏🍻💪

2026 Will be the year of drinking. The sober overlords will be overthrown. The dive bar and cocktail bar will rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Bonds formed. Stories exchanged. Memories forgotten but never lost.

@Matt_Pinner 💯

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point Would you back your child or grandchild's decision to attend trade school rather than college?🤔

@TourSwingsTommy My 20 year old Mizuno TP mills I bought for $20 in a bargain bin does the same....🤔

“My $200 putter does the same thing as your $600 putter.”

@TourSwingsTommy So did I. Hogan Apex Blades in 2005. I miss them.

I bought blades wayyyy too early into starting golf. Like within the first year of starting. However, the VERY OBVIOUS toe hooks and near-hosel slices helped me identify mis-hits immediately. I do think looking back it helped me develop faster. Not sure I’d recommend for everyone. What would you tell someone the general rule of thumb is?

@MidwestGolfJake I'm an 8 and I play 10 rounds a year and never practice. I'm a fucking rock star...💪👏💪👏

We need to normalize that being a single digit is good. I see so many posts where we say "I'm an 8, so this is good for me." An 8 is really good. Outside of the Golf X bubble there aren't many single digit caps. If you're a single digit you play this game well! I see you 👀

@TheGhostofhogan Loved that ball. The Strata was next.

I used to sell this ball as the Maxfli rep in Oregon. Nicklaus played the Revolution. Great name and great ball.
