@MatthewHokie @adplacksports totally agree. but a 30 yard miss shouldn’t be penalised less than a 3 yard miss.

@nerdfaced @adplacksports Modern golf courses (which are shit) are full of out of bounds. They build them through real estate they're trying to sell. Old school courses built on real blocks of land down have natural OB everywhere. And they shouldn't fabricate OB.

The problem with venues like Aronimink isn't the pin positions, its the penalty of small misses vs. big misses. Surprisingly, of long players, short players, accurate players, and inaccurate players, the group that performed the highest above their baseline at Aronimink were inaccurate players, which doesn't really necessarily past the eye test if you are watching coverage, because there was a clear penalty for missing the fairway by a couple yards. Yet there were countless instances where super inaccurate players were in less peril with a 30 yard miss than a 3 yard miss (15th hole is a good example). Inaccurate players performed a whopping 0.68 strokes higher than their baseline last week. This doesn't mean that accuracy isn't rewarded, it just means that you want to live in either extreme- a concept I talked about on Bet the Process last week. The PGA at Oak Hill and US Open at Torrey Pines (amongst others) have had the same problem, and I unfortunately am not sure I have a solution for it that doesn't compromise the walking ability of fans.

@MatthewHokie @adplacksports and……out of bounds. why is there almost none of it anymore?

@adplacksports You know what does a pretty good job at rectifying this? Big ass oak trees.

@Bigmamacookin @KVanValkenburg @Skulledwedge @TheStroker83 right. golf is an individual sport. on any given week, anybody can win. that’s the beauty of it. aaron’s a good dude with a great story who grabbed this thing by the horns on the biggest day of his life. real golf fans should appreciate that.

@KVanValkenburg @Skulledwedge @TheStroker83 I think Tiger fucked up a lotta things. Rai is 'getting in the way' of Rory, Rahm, Scottie, Spieth etc. from being diet Tigers that we want. Sometimes you get a Wyndham, a Rai, a Webb or Weir. Wish it could be enjoyed for what it is instead of what it "should" be

Alright, I’m not a fan of Rai’s aesthetic either. But what is up with golf being the sport where performance doesn’t matter, only names do. No other fanbase in sports hates underdogs more than this current crop of golf “fans.” No other fanbase is as quick to wrongly jump on the “This does nothing for x sport” train either. If that back 9 didn’t get you interested, I highly recommend you stop wasting your time trying to be a golf fan, because you’re not a golf fan. Rai played an amazing tournament, and closed it off with a flawless back 9. No one else came close to doing that. If you were a golf fan you’d realize watching an underdog close it out without breaking a sweat on the back 9 is awesome, aesthetics be damned.

@fried_egg_golf legit

Decent board

@Papi_Golf @Sentletse worst take of the year right here

@Sentletse China is The Master of Ilussion when if comes To Quality of Protect! They will Gloss Up Expensive Looking Finishes and Technical Gagets To Death to Impress You. But Underneath it All is a Bubch of Cheap Ass Plastic that will Break in 0-90 Days! The Chinese Model To America Is?

The NIO ES9 There is absolutely no way western car makers can compete with China.

@morellifit @FudPrinter @AIGuide_ the cost for said things is too high for most people though.

@FudPrinter @AIGuide_ I am. I’ve been on TRT for 9 years. 150-200mg per week. That’s where I talk about hormone optimization … being critical

This is probably the best piece I've ever written on getting in peak shape in 90 days. Block out 10 minutes and read it slowly, sit with it, and don't skim the peptide section.

@Puz11725 @sunisuni369 @RealDanODowd @elonmusk Correct. “Overly optimistic” is a nice way of saying he sells a future that doesn’t arrive. When people are paying thousands for it, that’s not optimism, that’s misleading investors.

@sunisuni369 @RealDanODowd @elonmusk They charged more for FSD functionality, but that functionality was never delivered. It seems like fraud to me. Maybe not in the legal sense, but a lot of people certainly believed, him, otherwise they wouldn’t have paid the $5k extra for nothing.

BREAKING: @ElonMusk admits that "Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve Unsupervised FSD". 7 years ago, Musk said HW3 Teslas had "all the hardware necessary, compute and otherwise, for Full Self-Driving. He repeated this for years. Musk defrauded millions of Tesla customers.

@DutchAmerican @aakashgupta also his tweet is ~70% real science wrapped in 200% drama. Yes, macrophages trap ink and lasers break it down. No, it’s not some endless immune “war” or $660K saga. It’s biology, not a movie script.

Pete Davidson is on pace to spend $660K removing his tattoos, and the reason it costs that much is genuinely one of the weirdest things happening inside the human body. Tattoos are permanent because your immune system is actively holding the ink in place. White blood cells called macrophages swarm the ink, try to eat it like bacteria, fail because ink is chemically indestructible, and then just refuse to let go. They sit in your skin with the pigment trapped inside them, for life. The tattoo you see is a grid of immune cells frozen in the middle of trying to destroy something they can't. It gets weirder. When one of those cells finally dies of old age, a nearby macrophage grabs the released ink before it can drain. Then that one dies and passes it to the next one. The tattoo is a relay race of immune cells handing off the same ink particles for 50 years. Lasers are not erasers. They fire pulses so fast (one trillionth of a second) that they create tiny shockwaves that blow the ink into smaller pieces. The laser doesn't remove anything. It just shatters. Here's the cruel part. The second the laser shatters the ink, fresh macrophages sprint in and swallow the pieces before your body can wash them away. You are paying a laser specialist $500 a session to break ink apart faster than your immune system can re-eat it. And where does the ink that actually escapes go? Your lymph nodes. It piles up there. Women with tattoos have ink in their armpit lymph nodes. It shows up on mammograms. Surgeons have mistaken it for cancer. Pete has 200+ tattoos. Each one needs 10-12 sessions because each session only wins a tiny fraction of the war. He's not buying tattoo removal. He's buying a decade-long siege against his own immune system, paid in installments of $500 shockwave blasts, while white blood cells inside his body sprint back and forth trying to eat their own ammo. $660K to starve the cells that refuse to let him forget who he used to be.

@zenofpuck @MMcCarthyREV also the delay on some things was unacceptable. scottie was in the bunker on 3 before broadcast even acknowledged him finishing 2.

@MMcCarthyREV I’m curious, was there a new director or producer managing the broadcast? Aside from the disastrous coverage on 18, and missing key shots, there was also a number of odd/reverse angles that were tough to watch. Maybe the worst Masters production I’ve seen in decades.

CBS is peerless in its Masters coverage. But network mangled its coverage of Rory McIlroy's win on 18th hole. The network lost the second shots of McIlroy and Cam Young. Then they blocked TV view of the McIlroy's winning putt dropping into the hole. frontofficesports.com/masters-sunday…

@TronCarterNLU valid.

I’m all for establishing a narrative and showing shots on tape, but the broadcast is like 8 minutes behind on Scottie and Burns. It’s wild.

@NoahRyanCo @CalisthenicKyle “Enter your bloodstream immediately” — fast carbs are fast, but not instantaneous. Sucrose has to be cleaved into glucose and fructose first. The effect is real but the framing is a bit hyperbolic.

@CalisthenicKyle Dual carb pathways are great for endurance I find the rapid spike from pure glucose to be more noticeable however

Always saw the biggest guy at my college gym eating sour patch kids inbetween his sets and my underdeveloped brain could not comprehend why a man so jacked would eat something so taboo (this was peak low-carb era). But now I understand. Fast carbs (glucose, dextrose, sucrose) enter your bloodstream immediately. Working muscles sucks that glucose out of your blood via GLUT4 transclocation, independent of insulin. You bypass the usual metabolic bottlenecks and feed your engines mid-burn. High intensity training is heavily dependent on glycogen and glycolosis. Burn through your glycogen stores and your performance suffers. Less explosiveness, no pump, more cortisol. Keeping your muscles fueled mid-workout gives you everything you want and need. Glucose has an osmotic effect. It pulls water into muscle cells and hydrates you at an intracellular level (very anabolic btw). You get better bloodflow, bigger/fuller muscles, better contraction. You can sustain peak output for the entirety of your workout. Its not just your muscles that are being fueled either. Your brain is a glucose hog. Low blood sugar during long sessions is the leading cause of fatigue and poor motor output. Hence why glucose microdosing is beneficial for cognitive tasks as well (especially hybrid psycho/physiological tasks like martial arts, sports etc.) Better yet, exogenous glucose blunds cortisol-induced tissue breakdown. Extremely anti-catabolic. You perform better, you feel better, you recover better, and you leave your workout less fried than you otherwise would. All while giving you a perfect excuse to get your sugar fix in guilt free.

@Mike_kim714 So do you expect someone to go out and rip off like a 63, 64 with this set up?

Some commenting on how 4 and 11 are tricky. When pros look at pins, we look at how aggressive one can be but also if there’s an easy bailout. 4 and 11 are very difficult to birdie yes but they present big bailout to the right I can hit it to. Lots of times, on hole 11, the hardest pins are those among the right because the bailout right presents a tricky up and down. Same thing with 4. The front pin is super hard because either bunker presents a tough up and down even though the hole is shorter

LOTS of birdie pins. 3 5 6 17 are tricky but other than that, they’re mostly funnel pins

@KobeBennett24 @mcds_rewards @nkulw Totally. But when pressed on why, all he had was religion. Fine believe whatever you want. But faith doesn’t fix healthcare or infrastructure. You can be devout and still vote on how the world actually works. Those aren’t in conflict unless you’re using one to avoid the other…

@nerdfaced @mcds_rewards @nkulw Totally agree he's just getting slammed by liberals for something that a feeling a significant portion of people in america have including several of the people attacking him. I’d venture to say we are better off acknowledging how polarized we feel than to pretend we aren’t

Really funny when his cohost tries to bail him out but then doughboy says No I’m Being Stupid, Let Me Cook

@KobeBennett24 @mcds_rewards @nkulw Sure, both sides do it. But when your political identity is stronger than your ability to question it, you’re not a voter anymore, you’re a mascot. And mascots don’t think, they just cheer.

@mcds_rewards @nkulw Tons liberal people are the exact same way btw

@kriskepley @KVanValkenburg he’s incredible.

@KVanValkenburg I had totally forgotten how good he is around the greens. Unbelievable.

Regardless of what you think of the man, Patrick Reed's short game is as fun to watch as any skill in golf.

@dorismunchesbox @NiceUpandDown @BowTied_Golfer My take, as harsh as it sounds: this is what happens when you try to package tradition for a new audience raised on loud, low-attention, content-first sports culture. At some point the line between sport and spectacle disappear and with it, what made it special in the first place

@NiceUpandDown @BowTied_Golfer Once they got a tv contract, it could be argued they never needed member revenue ever again. It’s also the most unusable national membership out there. Just a flex at this point, and private destination for all golfers

Spot on read here. The cornerstone event for proper etiquette, behavior and traditionalism has become a circus. The par 3 tourney was unwatchable today. It felt more like a Twilight Zone version of what LIV golf thinks it is. But who is at fault? At a club with a benevolent dictator, shouldn't this type of pandering be avoided? If Augusta and the Masters fall victim to unbridled consumerism, which it seems as though they have, then where does the game go from here?

@AustinHoyt3033 @Papote_T @NeverNewsom50 @nypost yes while illegal to decline said test - his attorney will now simply say “there’s no physical evidence he was on drugs” it was smart.

@Papote_T @NeverNewsom50 @nypost

Shocking moment Tiger Woods arrested after failing field sobriety test trib.al/lEWDPPT

@KevinFeaster5 @CRUEL_K1D @SHistorians silly question: how do you know this? (the he likes the boss candy claim) like, is there proof or evidence?

@CRUEL_K1D @SHistorians His jaw moving way too weird for him to say he’s not

@GolfKolo @TeeTimesPub Think Joel wrote a great piece on this topic for Golf Digest: golfdigest.com/story/tiger-wo…

@TeeTimesPub Agree but hard to do after surgery upon surgery. He needs to manage the pain and I do believe his desire to play some form of golf is healthy because great champions can’t be just let out to pasture. He needs to find happy medium and not have the constant ask, when will you play?

This is phrased a little aggressively for my liking but it’s basically how I feel. Happy to see that some are openly discussing Tiger’s clear issues, but that’s easy to do right now. Will they be talking about this stuff next time he’s gearing up to play an event? Or will they go back to ignoring clear signs of ongoing issues? It’s time to stop treating him with kid gloves because people are desperate to remain in his good graces. From the “no divots” thing, to the nonstop sweating, swollen face, numerous examples of slurred speech, and more. There have been signs of this for a long time, and I get relentlessly attacked if I bring it up. It’s not that I want to be right, in fact I’d give anything to be wrong, but I refuse to be a part of the problem. It’s also not an easy thing to solve. His body is battered and he’s going to need to manage the pain for the rest of his life. But he needs to do it in a way that doesn’t endanger himself and those around him. And I’ve seen no signs of that being possible while pursuing professional golf. Step away and get healthy, properly healthy. It’s the only way forward at this point.

@utahgetme2two @TeeTimesPub honest question: whats wrong with paragraphs?

@TeeTimesPub Why do all of you keep writing paragraphs like you're in his family and are running the intervention? It's getting weird
