@Dutchy1010 @mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest I had both those holes in my shortlist. They are beauty’s

@SimonAndrew71 @mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest 14th Kooyonga > 7th Id add 4th Lost Farm also

My Top 10 Par 3’s Aus 5 RM (W) 10 Kingston Heath 7 Barnbougle Dunes 7 Royal Adl 11 Yarra Yarra 15 Kingston Heath 7 RM (W) 2 Peninsula Kingswood (Nth) 17 Woodlands 7 Kooyonga What have I missed? *several courses I’m yet to see @mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest

@krisrodrigues14 @mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest Love 5 but 17 has a bit more variety with length and wind direction/ strength and demands a well struck iron every time

@mikeclaytongolf @SimonAndrew71 @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest 17 at Woodlands over 5?

@mikeclaytongolf @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest Ah yes, 15 Commonwealth is great hole. 16w highly underrated Haven’t seen the others

@SimonAndrew71 @AndrewKirbyGolf @EvinPriest 9 and 15 at Commonwealth. 2 and 14 7MB 7 at Victoria. 16w 4e 16e RM.

Tom Doak absolutely hitting the nail on the head!

@EvinPriest Cracking leaderboard. Will be a great Sunday. Aussie summer of golf is back!

Plenty of tournaments around the world would love this mid-Saturday leaderboard

@mikeclaytongolf Stood on the 15th green yesterday and admired the view of 13 and the fairway bunkering. A marked improvement as is the removal of veg on 14th/7th. Outstanding.

I’ll never understand those who revere hole to hole isolation. Removing a wall of long-neglected ti-tree opened up this view - including the indigenous manna gums lost amongst the ti-tree. Left of 15 fairway at Woodlands (Melbourne Sandbelt) looking through to the 13th green

Club Drs determining concussion is an outrageous conflict of interest. AFL can’t be taken seriously until there is an independent analysis on high contact incidents. #aflbluesbombers

@krisrodrigues14 I too have hit plenty of forehand winners….. using my driver 🤦‍♂️

Playing off scratch from this position. Incredible athleticism.

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Definitely on the right track… Using linear extrapolation of course!

@SimonAndrew71 @jakehower Scheffler may be the outlier like the true elites

All the people saying that the floodgates would open on Rory major wins now Hmmmm Let’s see

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Speith, Thomas and possibly even Scheffler. There are no certainties

@SimonAndrew71 @jakehower 💯 But it’s done a lot Let’s take David Duval at the point of his first and only major and apply linear extrapolation

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower Not a great sport for linear analysis 😂

@SimonAndrew71 @jakehower 💯 people apply linear extrapolation Given it took 11 years to get his 5th 🤷🏻‍♂️

@AndrewKirbyGolf @jakehower People underestimate the difficulty of winning Majors. Only 3 players from the 21st century are represented in the top 15 all time Major winners - Phil, Tiger and Rory. For him not to win another is a reasonable assumption, despite his talent.

@jakehower Let’s see I’m in the no more majors camp

@krisrodrigues14 @LouStagner There’s good reason I’d chose to get up and down every time! 😂

@SimonAndrew71 @LouStagner You already hit it 300 off the tee and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you *not* hit an iron pure

@LouStagner would love a statistical deep dive on this for a scratch golfer and the difference it would make on their scoring. I’m definitely taking getting up & down!

@LouStagner Is there any data on the average handicap and hole length for a hole in 1. My theory, higher handicaps have more Hi1 as the roll of the ball on the green from a lower flight has more probability of going in! Would love to see some data on this!

Would you count this hole-in-one? Got a DM from someone that has one of those "19th hole" par 3s at their club (to settle bets, etc...). It plays 110-120 yards over water, surrounded by bunkers. Someone made an ace on this "hole". Does it count?

@TomBond_Golf @Luke_Elvy @MattVincenziPGA @SharkGregNorman Both years have had no wind which is extremely rare and the courses main defence.

@Luke_Elvy @MattVincenziPGA @SharkGregNorman They could also use the back tees. Playing 30-50 metres forward on a heap of holes. Also play it in Feb and you could get the greens a lot firmer which is how Grange should be. They definitely have set the course up for low scoring the last couple of years.

Idea: @SharkGregNorman makes Adelaide LIV’s major 1. Elevates LIV’s standout event 2. Gives players blackballed by OWGR something to strive for 3. Acknowledges Greg’s Aussie heritage *sure it’d take time to grow, but did Bobby Jones know what The Masters would become in 1934?

@krisrodrigues14 @rippergc_ @livgolf_league Was so good to see how excited he was! What growing the game is all about.

Happiest kid in the world tonight @rippergc_ @livgolf_league #LIVGolf #LIVAdelaide

@mike_w61830 @chambleebrandel US Ryder Cup team (inc ZJ) combined +46 Pretty good showing from the ‘stars’….

@chambleebrandel 3 in top 10 despite just 15% of the field. Math is hard

I have no doubt that this rumor was started by Saudis/LIV… to benefit Saudis/LIV after such a poor showing, as a group, at The Masters. I’d be very surprised if this turns out to be true.

7. I shudder at what I’d spend in the merch tent given the chance. 8. Can someone please confirm how good the Pimento Cheese sandwiches are.

5.Vijay Singh didn’t get enough credit for making the cut at 61 years old. 6.How good is golf when all the best players/ personalities are competing in the same event and the prize is bigger than $$

#Masters2024 thoughts thread 🧵 1. Scheffler - generational talent, great temperament and a ball striker not seen for a long time. 2. Can’t recall a Masters where so few putts dropped. Greens were firm, fast and treacherous.
