@LouStagner Congratulations on the Tigers performance at the Home of Golf! Enjoy the rest of your trip. Go Tigers!

Colt Knost getting his amateur status back is bad form. From the USGA website: "The Mid-Amateur, for amateur golfers of at least 25 years of age, provides a formal national championship for the post-college amateur, for whom the game is truly an avocation." "for whom the game is truly an avocation". Letting ex-pros, where golf WAS their vocation, play in the mid-am runs against the spirit of the event. Especially ex-pros that won many millions of dollars. In the 2025 mid-am, six of the eight quarter-finalists were reinstated professionals. Years of high-level reps and tour-hardened skills don’t disappear because the prize checks stop. Even if an ex-pro hasn’t played for money in years, the accumulated skill capital (elite and extensive practice reps, extensive tournament reps, elite coaching, etc...) persists. Colt wrote: "If a surgeon decided to take 7 years off and then come back to operate on you, would you feel as confident in that doc as one that did the procedure yesterday or the week before?" This is the wrong question. His analogy asks, “Is the ex-pro as sharp as before?” The question should be, “Does the ex-pro still have a big edge over true amateurs?” Even if they’re a bit rusty, a former tour player’s baseline skills remain FAR above a career amateur. And that baseline skill is there because golf was their vocation. Which is exactly the kind of player who the USGA says the mid-am is NOT for. Also, skill decay does not equal skill deletion. Motor-learning 101: Highly trained skills are retained unusually well, and reacquisition of those skills is fast. Years of tour reps don’t evaporate. There is not much practice time needed to get dangerous again. That advantage is exactly what makes reinstatement unfair to career ams.

Hey @Delta I guess four hours isn’t enough time to move luggage at ATL and get it w me to Dublin. Now you can’t do anything until I land so we guarantee at least 2 days without luggage. Thanks for your efforts to ruin a long planned trip to golf and attend the Open. Do better !

@PlanetTyrus Awesome show- thanks! More importantly thanks for the confidence you demonstrated pre election, I think it helped calm things down and get to a great result. Keep up the great work and good luck w the 10 year old!

Show two sold out and in the books thank you to the great city of Venice fl!!! #tyrussmash

It was an honor to work with Harvey at the Dolphins and call him a friend. They truly broke the mold after Harvey Greene- simply the best!

Montrose 1562 was a fun course

@GolfTravelerJoe Cabot Cliffs

OK so we are about halfway through 2024 so here is my annual question for this time of year. So far, what is your favorite "new to you" course you have played in 2024. As always, please just give us one course, we don't need to know every new course you have played so far. And remember pictures are always appreciated.

Retweet if your college is sending at least 10 Olympians to the #ParisOlympics for Team USA.

Dan Campbell could be Reacher. He looks the part.

Re tweet if you fancy a game at the home of golf in 2024 😍🤞🏼

@AndrewRiceGolf Best to Teri. I enjoy following you on X. We met years ago at Leadbetter and I was able to get you and Teri tickets to some NFL games. Look forward to visiting your school for some fine tuning. Best Bill Duffy

My wife just said she would rather be 10 pounds overweight and have the Dawgs win tomorrow, than be at her goal weight and lose! It’s a big thing in this house. #HBTD #GoDawgs 🤣
