I recently passed a milestone number of golf courses played: 700 in my life so far. So I updated my all-time top 10 and broke it down a couple of other ways for @GOLFPASS

My #1 recurring golf nightmare is, I’m entered into a big event, usually the U.S. Open or the Masters, and my first-round tee time is approaching, but weird circumstances just keep getting in the way of me actually getting to the course to tee off. I never strike a single shot.

One of the most important lessons in life, I learned during fraternity pledgeship: Five minutes early is on time. On time is late. Late is unacceptable. Particularly embarrassed at this lax attitude from a fellow lefty.

D.R. Jr. would not have allowed a slight like that to happen (all conversation would be drowned out by his karaoke).

🚨🍴😅 LIV Golfer Martin Kaymer says someone from the PGA of America asked if he was playing this week at the Champions Dinner: “He asked me if I would be, if I still play….I'm not flying from Europe to here to have a New York strip with you guys..”

Being part of the Corebridge Financial Team trumps nationality it seems.

@BachelorGriffin My high school superlative was “Always On Time,” so no, but that 3-line rule solidified the trait.

@TimGavrich If he was on time he probably shoots a 3 over and we aren’t talking about him. You were 18 when you learned Lombardi time? Seems late, ha

@jack_milko Jack, how dare you put the long-term future of the game ahead of your own interests!

And this leads to longer, 5.5+ hour rounds
Which leads to players ultimately being unable to finish their rounds at the end of the day.
Solution?
Dial-in the equipment. Decrease driver head sizes. Roll back the golf ball. Even amateur players (me!) hit it too far now a days

The pushed back tees to accommodate for technology advances result in a lot of traffic areas like this one for a pro event at Aronimink.

@SirSportsman @Seventy2MX @JamieSlonis So the best golfers in the world should only have to face one 200+ approach shot per round? How soft have we become?
English
English
@JamieSlonis @Seventy2MX "Par 3 variety" is a drastically overrated feature of golf courses in the context of professional tournaments. A golf course is a set of 18 approaches. It's more important that the 18 exhibit variety than an arbitrary set of 4 out of the 18.
English
@TimGavrich @Seventy2MX I don’t mind a mid iron par 3. Having 225 into the wind, 240 and 245 on 3 out of 4 holes seems a bit redundant.
English
@Seventy2MX @JamieSlonis 245-yard par 3s have existed for a century or more. The task is still to hit the ball as few times as possible.
English
@JamieSlonis @Seventy2MX What's the alternative? Yet another approach shot where pros are hitting a short iron?
Keith Mitchell hit a fairway wood to tap-in range on 17. If you hit a brave, high-quality shot, you can separate yourself. Long par 3s are one of the last defenses golf courses have vs. pros.
English
@Seventy2MX They’ve stretched 3 of the 4 at Aronimink to silly lengths. At that point it becomes just try to get it in the middle of the green, make 3 and run.

Justin Rose should be knighted based solely on the fact that he's the first Brit to be cheered in Philadelphia since the 18th century.

@kylecotner @SecretaryBurgum But then I might end up paired with you.

@TimGavrich @SecretaryBurgum You must be used to trash courses, Tim.
I feel bad for you. Maybe one day you’ll be able to play a decent course.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.
Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

I think Garrick Higgo must be on the Presidents Cup team.

@TimGavrich my college lax coach used to say, if you are 10 minutes early, you are 5 imnutes late. I still live by that.
English
@kylecotner @SecretaryBurgum Not only did I see it, but I played it a few years ago. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with the definition of "trash."
English
@TimGavrich @SecretaryBurgum Umm did you see the course before this proposed update? It was total trash.

@KylePorterNS Someone needs to deliver some Stephen Hawkwing to his bedside table this evening

Higgo saying "1 second is tough to define" is an all timer.
It is literally the easiest thing to define in the entire world.

Annual reminder: if the PGA Championship theme music on ESPN sounds familiar to you, that's because it is similar to one of the greatest pieces of classical music...

Does the PGA Championship’s theme music sound familiar to you? It was bugging me earlier in the week and then I realized what it sounded like: the incredible Finale from The Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky. youtu.be/rYcz-g8WpMc?si…

Among several, one of the inherent flaws of tribute courses is that they almost never can keep up on the maintenance/design front, so their holes quickly slide into an uncanny valley. I applaud the Boyne folks for being willing to restart the clock on this particular hole.
Of course, that same course has a recently-restored Seminole "replica" hole that is no longer a replica, given that course's recent changes.
English
@TimGavrich I never once considered the implications for tribute courses if their famous inspirations get renovated/restored. That’s interesting
English
I haven’t played Aronimink, but in 2019 I played the Donald Ross Memorial course up at Boyne’s Harbor Springs property in northern Michigan. They were pretty quick to update their version after Aronimink’s 2016 Hanse & Wagner project.
