@jamierkennedy @PortsalonGolf is a sleeping giant and @CountyLouthGC is absolutely world class, @Cruitislandgre1 is a magical place, The other 2 courses are badly in decline recently.

You travel to Ireland and end up leaving with more courses to play rather than less.
So many great conversations with folks last week and sounds like I need to get back to play...
🇮🇪 Cruit Island
🇮🇪 Donegal
🇮🇪 County Louth
🇮🇪 Nairn & Portnoo
🇮🇪 Portsalon
Anyone played them?

@chadmumm @TJF924 @ireland_links I had him today with said rangefinder (it’s some weight💪) Send me a DM and I’ll pass on his number

Final day in Ireland and we're at the #1 ranked course in the world, Royal County Down. The gorse is in full bloom and the body is beginning to break down. There's nothing like the last day of a golf trip.
It's Vlog #6, lock in! @ireland_links

@TheSun @TalkTV if you think this is acceptable from one of your employees or contributors then shame on you.

So impressive that they can do this, what with all the genocide and famine going on around them. The struggle is real ✊🏻

"I tell you, I wasn't going to come to Belfast. I said, 'Sod this! I've had the rain of Cork and Limerick. I'm not going back!'
"Cowboy turns around and goes, 'You're going to get your big Polynesian behind up here!' And I'm like, 'Oh, crap. Here we go!'" 😅

@lad_golf @WestwoodLee @LIVTracking @arlowhite @Luke_Elvy @flushingitgolf @PepperellEddie @talkSPORT You obviously don’t listen to the pod then
English
I like Eddie, but he was vehemently anti LIV from the outset, we haven’t heard a squeak from him in the time that the league has been getting established, and as soon as there’s a meaty LIV is dead story circulating, there he is, on the gravy train espousing his negative opinions 👎
English
How ofter does the CGM get lapped by independent reporters these days?! All the big media companies waste hours speculating what Bryson DeChambeau’s going to do next year, Tom from Flushing It gets it straight from the horses mouth.
Why anyone still trusts MSM is beyond me.
Flushing It@flushingitgolf
Bryson DeChambeau has been the face of LIV Golf since joining in 2022. He regularly faces media and has been the most outspoken player in regard to how much he believes in the product. Now with reports that the PIF are cutting funding at the end of the 2026 season, how committed is he? Speaking to Flushing It Golf after LIV Golf Mexico City, Bryson said: “There's a lot of moving parts like in any business. It’s a startup, right? And so there's going to be times where we're squeezed and punched. This is one of those moments. But I'm going to do everything in my power to make it work and I really see the value in franchise golf. “And, you know, another reason why I'm doing this is not just for myself and the team aspect that I really believe in on the Crushers side. It's for Michael LaSasso. It's for Caleb Surratt. It's for Josele Ballester. It's for David Puig. “Jon, Phil, DJ, myself and the guys that have been here from the start, we’re okay. It’s now our responsibility to take care of these kids that believe in us. That’s why I'm really doing it. There's so much value to squeeze out of this whole thing for golf in general.” LIV Golf has been well funded since inception. Spending enormous amounts of money to sign players to upfront contracts, hosting lavish parties, having massive build outs and offering the largest event to event purses in the sport. But now the blank cheques are coming to an end, things clearly need to change. After reaching out directly to officials familiar with this aspect of the league, they insist they are focused on securing more income and funding, rather than cuts, and appear bullish with how that is trending. League sources say they’ve doubled revenue in 2025 from the previous year and have added more than $100 million already in the 2026 season through the first 5 events. 10 franchises will be profitable, as well as 4 events, and their ticket sales are up over 130% year over year. CEO Scott O’Neil said on last week’s broadcast, “we have never been in a better position.” If outside investment comes in, particularly to the franchises, as a byproduct it will help address the obvious issue of having one owner for all of the teams. The competitive aspect of the league has been flawed since the start, with more focus on building brands than the actual performances on the golf course. Results will suddenly matter more than they ever have. “I think that’s the best part of it,” Bryson said. “In my opinion, it’s not just some gimmick, it’s like, okay, we’re here to be competitive.” No matter how much the revenue increases, a sports league is not sustainable without star players. Bryson DeChambeau is the definition of that. With his current contract up at the end of this year, how are his negotiations going for a renewal? “We're still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I've put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I’m going to do, we’re going to make this work.” When asked what happens if they can’t make it work, he doubled down: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.” There’s been much speculation about Bryson DeChambeau’s future over the last few months, and now you have it from the man himself. Pay attention to those who widely shared “reports” of Bryson looking for options outside of LIV Golf but don’t aggregate these quotes. They are not trustworthy news sources. @brysondech @Crushers_GC @livgolf_league

@MMcEwanGolf I was lucky enough to be there in 2022. Loved walking past the queue every morning. Went in once at around 6pm, empty, had a wander round and came out without a thing. 😏
English
I've been saying for a couple of years that the lust for Masters merch was threatening to become a problem.
If people would rather queue for a gnome than watch Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson hit golf balls IRL, I fear we may have crossed that threshold.
Alex Perry@byAlexPerry
That's the quietest I've ever seen the Honorary Starters ceremony at the Masters. Usually 8 or 9 deep around the 1st tee. (The queue for the Golf Shop is just over an hour, though.)

@metoffice @metofficestorms seems to be out on a limb with #stormdave 15mph higher gusts than every other forecast in Co Down & Belfast anyway. Clarification would be 👍👌
English
@barrabest Been keeping an eye on Dave, and all my apps have max gusts around 45mph for Belfast peaking around 7pm Sat, except @metoffice seem to be on a solo run with much stronger gusts coming later. Any ideas on that @barrabest ?

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night.
Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

@HollyHNews A friend of mine was dropping his Mother in law off, slowed down as wasn’t sure where to go, stopped for 18seconds, no one got out, and got fined. He fought it for ages, ended up going to local press and they eventually relented.

I’d love to know how many have fallen foul - I appreciate it’s different if you’re flouting the rules on purpose and picking people up on the road.. but many people just seem to be desperately lost and ending up stopping to reverse and find their way
English
I’m at @BELFASTCITY_AIR A LOT. So I know how to navigate the labyrinth… but every time I’m there I see drivers struggling to follow the route to the correct carpark and inadvertently breaking the stringent rules on stopping. (£100 fine) It’s merciless. You’re set up to fail.

Great to welcome Kate Nicholls OBE from @UKHofficial to Westminster this week. She and UK Hospitality are doing incredible work representing the needs of the UK Hospitality sector.
Pubs, restaurants, hotels and cafés support jobs, tourism and local high streets. But the sector is under real pressure:
➡️ Rising business rates
➡️ High energy costs
➡️ The threat of a tourist tax
We discussed how the Government can back hospitality businesses so they can keep investing, employing and serving our communities.
I will continue to champion the sector and make the case for North Yorkshire's brilliant hospitality industry in Parliament.

@MrAndrewCotter Had a fiver each way on him in my Paddy Power basket at 500-1 on, but they suspended my account pending id confirmation. Obvs didn’t bother 😤😤😤, but so chuffed for Eddie & TTJ

While totally aware that it matters very little in the grand scheme of things, am delighted for Eddie Pep and TTJ today - final round 64 for 5th place in the South African Open. Gets him into Joburg Open this week as well. Pod recording will be fun tomorrow.
