@NoLayingUp Need some discussion on the pod this weekend about how badass Dundonald Links is. Really enjoying the Women’s Scottish this morning. The course & conditions are flashing.

A much, much more viewer friendly use of Playing Through. Audio stays on the broadcast and the ad is a lot smaller.

Even the color grading and saturation that NBC uses are pitiful. It’s wild how much better (and more natural/realistic) the world feed looks. The leaderboards and graphics have been a mess. Not to mention the actual substance of the broadcast. These people truly hate us. Meanwhile I’m also watching the world feed and it’s light years better (with less resources!) We’re at the point where golf orgs need to be willing to accept less money from NBC’s competitors. Choking the life out of 2 of the 4 majors per year, plus the Ryder Cup. Their mission is to further the game and put it in the best possible light, I just don’t know how you can keep giving them the rights.

It's 2023 Scottie all over again. 2nd in ball striking 73rd in putting.

(Grass) Crushers GC

Bryson now listed at -5.

I don’t know how many stages of grief we hit, but it was more than 5.

@jonfavs This was obvious with the incredibly weak explanation of the Nazi ratio. I’d say that you’re much too late to the party to have any credibility on this issue yourself.

Platner needs to drop out ASAP - these are awful, credible allegations. Said on the pod after the (also credible) June NYT story that his biggest problem going forward would be credibility. It's now abundantly clear that he just hasn't been honest about his past and can't be trusted as a candidate for office. Saving grace is that the party can find a replacement by the 27th as long as he drops by the 13th, which I very much assume he will.

So Much For Goodbyes. Arriving August 28. Preorder now. billystringsstore.com

Tired: not showing Scottie’s tee shot on 8 Wired: not even knowing where it went

Away from the US Open, Lottie Woad had this to win but lost in a play-off.

@TronCarterNLU And then Bones says that they’ve been warned on 6. Love it.

@TronCarterNLU *long before

Alright, need Scottie to really slow the pace down. Get them on that final group on the clock for the greater good. Chess.

NBC IT IS TIME TO START COVERING THE GUY IN SECOND PLACE LIVE WITH AN ON COURSE REPORTER

HERE WE GO.

Truly the only whiff of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock is just how early fans have to leave to catch the last train back to the city. They are just POURING for the exits right now and the leaders are on Hole 6.

@TronCarterNLU @0yOlives Said on the broadcast rhat they were rolled on Thursday & all double cut & rolled on Friday, except for 7 & 11 which were single cut & rolled 🤷‍♂️ I assume they were also double cut & rolled today to increase stump speed by a foot.

@0yOlives Bumpy. Just haven’t really mowed/rolled them all week.

USGA answered the bell today. Good setup. Toed the line well. Greens starting to show a little brown and grey - a welcome sight!

this is one of the coolest golf shots I’ve ever seen

@NoLayingUp @Paige_Mackenzie Can we talk tonight on the live show about how insufferable Dan Hicks is? Truly difficult to listen to him. Why isn’t Tirico the main announcer? He’s far superior.

Don’t wanna jinx it, but early coverage has been really solid. It certainly helps to have such a dynamic golf course. @Paige_Mackenzie has been excellent setting the scene for each shot with the Rory/Tommy/Ludvig group. I’m having a great time!
