Let’s make golf more appealing to a wider audience, we’ll blare out music get the fans sloshed and while #growingthegame. Sometimes it’s best to leave things as they are and keep traditions such as decency, manners and respect at the forefront of the great game of golf.

@GOLF_com He took 16 shots on the 2 easiest par 5's, that takes a while 😆

“He is a little perturbed with his playing partner’s pace of play. It is glacial, to be kind.” John Wood on Matt Fitzpatrick, who is currently tied for the lead and playing with Adrien Dumont de Chassart. After Brad Faxon followed up, Wood said Fitzpatrick hit his approach on the 11th first, even though he was closer, and walked up to the green, where he waited about 3 min before Dumont de Chassart hit his approach. Rules official Orlando Pope said that Fitzpatrick talked to an official, and they have decided to give Dumont de Chassart an official warning after timing him unofficially since Fitzpatrick’s request.

@turfmonkeyboy @TronCarterNLU Jay understood all facets of golf including playing at a high level. Never worked for him but lucky to play a lot of tournament golf with him. Jay and the monkey man, what a duo!

Packard deserves most of the credit but people should really thank Jay Overton and yours truly over a quarter century ago. Jay truly believed da COPPERHEAD co I ld host a major. It was that good. It was my first real superintendent job and interned the year before. Jay took a shine to me when he wasn't yelling at me. He would pick me up with a couple beers and we would build tees and bunkers and move trees and paths. It was cray cray pace. We did greens irrigation in house 18 holes in 21 days and took 3 days off. We planted washed TifEagle sod from California on California greens mix, meaning there were no ammendments just straight sand. The sod trucks were supposed to be refrigerated and came at all hours of the night. On 15th hole below the refrigerator in the truck broke in Mississippi and the driver showed up at 8:30pm. The grass was full of pythium mycelium and flys feasting on the dying turf. I decided to plant it anyway. The sod install company quit the entire job. 4 of us worked until the wee hours planting 15 green, sprayed the grass for the disease. It turned out as one of the finest greens we had. Also the in house sodding turned out way better on subsequent greens. Grow-ins and construction are full of untold stories. da COPPERHEAD and @GolfSugarloaf were movie worthy experiences for this primate.

May need to move a future PGA Championship to Innisbrook. Larry Packard’s double doglegs are living rent free in these guys’ heads!

@BoltsJolts Tyler is clueless

Kucherov is THE hardest working player in the entire NHL. Absolutely braindead take here.

@Newsh8T @nielsonTSN1260 Tyler is clueless

@nielsonTSN1260 Kuch might be the laziest Art Ross winner theres ever been

Three Quick Thoughts 1. Kucherov takes over the race for the Art-Ross & he's not gonna be giving it back. 2. Give a damn level was better. 3. Oilers are so very lucky they are in the worst division that we've seen in a decade. What you got tonight?

@WHLeavitt A 💯

Floridians PACKED the Indian River County Zoning Meeting to shut down plans for a Muslims-only “EPIC City” (complete with Sharia Law enforcement) and prevent Vero Beach from becoming another Dearborn-style enclave. Do you back banning the Epic City? A. Yes B. No

@turfwidowwife As a PGA Professional who works similar hours, I am unable to do my job well if the dirt guys don't do theirs. I have nothing but respect for them and their spouses

@dblkgolf Right? Ive always said grass growers are a different bread and it takes a very strong independent spouse to hold it all down, while they go play in dirt 😆

Things no 1 warns u about when you marry a golf course superintendent: • Rain = bad mood • No rain = worse mood • “I’ll be home in 30 mins” = 2+ hours • Weekends? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 somehow you’re expected to understand what a “dew whip emergency” Turf wives… am I wrong?? 👇

@PGATOUR @ValsparChamp He also leads the field in pars

Players were allowed to customize their caddie bibs this week @ValsparChamp. Alejandro Tosti saw it as an opportunity. "I offer a lot of good stuff. I love cooking, I can fly airplanes, play golf and have fun" ❤️

How has noone been arrested yet? The corruption is staggering

@Mike_kim714 Sunday and I'm in Odessa only 15 minutes away

Very cool program that Valspar is doing. I can invite one person to be my honorary observer each day! (Inside the rope experience) I’ll pick a follower that live in the area and can drive over. Comment below which day you want to come out.

@BretlNick @acaseofthegolf1 Very proud. Kid puts the work in and has plenty of talent. He's also one of the most sincerely nice people I've ever come across. Great upbringing coming to fruition

@acaseofthegolf1 @dblkgolf you should be proud KK, he’s a Tampa Palms kid.

Multiple delays at the Valspar Monday Q yesterday. Whenever there are delays at a Monday Q, there is a lot of WDs. But this might be a record (some of these WDs are prior to teeing off as they got into the field)

@acaseofthegolf1 I'll need to find someone else to man my golf shop as Tyler will be busy changing his life this week. His ball striking is SOOOOO good he has a real chance of competing not just playing the weekend. Dude prepared for Mon by helping me run our Member Member this past weekend. STUD

@acaseofthegolf1 if this isn't a sign for a Corey Conners Sunday charge I'm not sure what is. Canadians love their golf even during Mid March. Sent from a fellow Canadian club pro who is still sunburnt from his round @TampaPalmsGCC

Danger lurks in the shallows @TampaPalmsGCC during final day of Member Member. Ball hawkers beware!

@ShaneRyanHere If it's Bermuda NEVER put the divot back but if you fail to fill it with the sand provided then F YOU and all you new golf converts who have zero etiqutte

Strongest Golf Opinion: "Don't fill your divots"

@acaseofthegolf1 Playing for millions with no wind, perfect artificial lies and no chance of rain, if you hurt yourself that's on you, if grass golf means more don't FAFO

What idiot started this discussion?!?!?!

@turfmonkeyboy @PlatinumTE @USGAGrnSection Data driven results can't be beat

Thinking about @PlatinumTE yesterday. I was wondering why other courses don't consider it for greens grass ever really. We actually increased smooth, true and firm for an outside group in the afternoon. Intentional speed reduction with the hope of more putts and fun being made for our out of town guests. I got so many great comments on course prep and presentation at the after party from the guests and even our members who play them at a quicker pace normally. This range of the Paspalum performance would not be possible without paying attention to the metrics from #GS3. #DATAMATTAS

@515ideas We carry, much easier

Did 9 of the 18 with a pull cart today. Honestly, not sure how y’all walkers do it.

@acaseofthegolf1 No head cover option but we tried

Come on golf community, let’s fill this firefighters Etsy store with orders. She was badly injured while helping cut down the Christmas tree for Oregons Capital. It crushed her legs and lower back. She knits a bunch of stuff including club covers. Let’s order a bunch.
