@cjdaudelin@Cam_Jourdan I know what he’s “dealing with” - but he got the tumor removed.
Like - take a Lexapro and get on with it.
He doesn’t have to bring it up in every press conference every time he gets “triggered”
everyone is dealing with something
Gary Woodland revealed he had a moment this week where people behind the ropes got too close to him and he got hypervigilant.
"I'll tell you this, if it wasn't for Tour security and my security, Zach, this week, there's no way I'm sitting here right now. I was a wreck the last 10 holes of that day. I got into scoring, Zach got close to me, Tour security was visual so I saw them so they calmed me down. I got into scoring, I bawled my eyes out, I reset and was able to come back out and take care of stuff after.
"Coming out, talking and asking for help, I didn't do that last year. I didn't do that early this year. If I wouldn't ask Tour security, they wouldn't have been there for me like that. I'm extremely thankful for them."
@declantine22@Cam_Jourdan Can’t blame you for thinking that if you don’t know the back story. Read up a bit and you’ll learn the stuff he’s been going through, pretty wild.
Seve was Nike's first golf athlete and at the 1986 Masters they'd given him some shirts to wear but no headgear.
Going into the final round Seve was tied for second place and both he and Nike wanted the benefit of the publicity that TV would provide. So, he bought a Masters visor, cut logos from two of his shirts and glued them over the Augusta logo.
@mokid03@Sierra_rak After doing some research it sounds like a curler can release the stone and then touch it like he did as long as it’s before the hog line. Is that incorrect?
My 13-year-old daughter wrote an entire novel.
Not for a school project. Not a short story. A novel.
She is a voracious reader and always wanted to write her own novel. So, she did.
She just published it.
She started two years ago while in 8th grade and finished it in 9th grade. She'd sit down and write for hours straight, then go on walks with me and my wife to tell us about all her plot ideas and character development.
Then she would go back to her computer and just keep plugging away.
The dedication I watched from her was something else.
It's on Amazon. Link is below.
I'll be back to golf tomorrow.
Today I'm just a proud dad.
@_JosephManning@ButchStearns@dandrews61@bhoyer7 This is pathetic. Firing for someone who deserves it isn’t a hard decision. This is business and it’s not personal. If he looks at this franchise as a public trust, certain decisions need to be made for the good of the organization, and this wasn’t a hard one at all.
#Patriots owner Robert Kraft talks about firing Jerod Mayo and hiring Mike Vrabel:
"I would say that was one or two of the hardest decisions because to fire a guy after one year--by the way, it was very expensive, cause there were not only his contract, but 25 other coaches. It was the worst financial implication since we've owned the team....That's on me. Jerod's a great guy, but I just didn't want to go through a continuation of what happened, and I really believe that hiring Mike gave us a chance quickly to put the team where it was."

For me, Matt Stafford blew the MVP in the 2 games vs Seattle and especially in the MNF disaster at Atlanta. I don't care how many TD passes he has thrown. Congrats, Drake Maye.
@thesportspo11@TyBrandonn@SharpFootball The pressure drop in Patriots balls was predicted by the ideal gas law before the game. That’s physics, not cheating
Tom Brady on feeling the PAIN of LOSSES:
absolutely loved how Brady shared his experience here 🔥
“I always felt like you should sit with that pain. The flight home should be painful. It should be disappointing. You shouldn’t try to escape it. You shouldn’t make excuses for it. You need to feel it… and then you need to have some actionable items to GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I think naturally the human nature part about all of us is to say ‘oh it’s just one game or one season’ and make excuses. And then when you live in those excuses, you don’t live in the solutions. And those solutions are to get back to work, let’s care more, have more discipline & better practice habits.”
What is a "pressure putt"?
What data do you have on all these players in those situations?
How do each compare to the field?
Tiger's career make rate from 7'0" to 8'11" was 52.0% (shotlink era).
From that distance on the back nine of the final round his make rate dropped to 44.9%.
Does that make him a good or bad pressure putter?
@Th3MetaM1nd@goodgood_golf@Internetinvite To be fair there are some intense elevation changes at the courses they played. Big advantage to have it on imo, one less thing to worry about.
@goodgood_golf@Internetinvite It's 2-5 yards different on a regular hole. On the regular course, it's inconsequential. None of them are that good that they are hitting into those tight of windows. There's no proof he had it on. Maybe time for people to chill and move on, he didn't win.
@KVanValkenburg He should make the decision that he feels gives the team the best chance to win, period. Then he can relay that feeling to the media and simply live with how it unfolds without regret, knowing he truly did what was best for the team.
Keegan Bradley wanting, more than anything, to make the Ryder Cup team for a decade and finally playing well enough in a year when HE is the one who has to make the mature decision to leave himself home is some "Are Greek Gods messing with me?" stuff. A wild test of humility.
the closer we get to Bethpage, the closer I get to “you can cherry-pick any stat, home course probably matters more than anything, just go based off vibes and promise we get to put the losing captain in the Wicker Man at the end of this”
@ThorbjornOleZyn Not fair. Rory is just trying to be honest without trying to throw TM under the bus. He’s probably contracted to play the latest model driver and doesn’t hit it as well as last years model. Give the guy a break.
One of these guys is considered to be the one who “gives us everything, is almost too open, doesn’t owe us anything more with how much he’s given us” and the other is considered “whiny, blames his equipment instead of himself, petulant, spoiled”
can you guess which is which?
Situation: You are appointed king-for-a-day of the @USGA. The 2026 U.S. Open venue has been decimated by locusts and cannot host the event. The USGA has tapped you to pick the new venue. Here are the rules:
1. The course has never hosted a professional major championship.
2. Logistics, such as the weather in June and the ability to have stands and fans on site, does matter (so no Pine Valley).
3. But profitability doesn’t, so far away locations are fine and it doesn’t matter if the event makes money.
4. Whether the course wants to host or not is irrelevant - you have the golf equivalent of eminent domain powers.
5. Protecting par is not an objective - quality, entertaining, exciting golf with a fairly determined winner is the goal.
Offhand, I think I’d go with:
1. NGLA (the Walker Cup was amazing, and even though the winner would be double digits under par, I’m fine with that)
2. Friar’s Head (some logistical challenges here, but nothing that would be insurmountable)
3. Cal Club (would be really fun to see the pros go at this place set up for an Open)
4. The Creek (same as NGLA - the nerd in me would just really like to see an Open at a killer C.B. Macdonald design)
Just for fun and giggles, where would you have such an Open, and why?
@BrandonBohning@NUCLRGOLF@BrysonLegion I don’t see what about a ball rollback will stop Bryson for trying to hit a 130mph club head speed. That’s a choice he’s making
🚨🔎⛳️ #NEW: Bryson DeChambeau says he needs to find a golf ball that will fly straighter and says it will be up to manufacturing on whether he can address this need before the U.S. Open. @BrysonLegion
“What I really think needs to happen, being pretty transparent here, is just get a golf ball that flies a little straighter. Everybody talks about how straight the golf ball flies. Well, upwards of 190 like Rory and myself, it's actually quite difficult to control the golf ball…”
“I’m going to work my butt to have make that happen. It's all up to manufacturing. We'll see what happens but I'm keen on finding something and I'm keen on improving. I'm excited for that.”
