Bifurcation is, sadly, the answer. It will likely not happen, but pros and elite amateurs play a different game than us. They don’t admit it, but they play different equipment than we do already, legislate that.

Look I’m a 57yr old cancer patient, I hit the ball as far now as I did before hip replacements, I know it’s wrong, but fighting for a rollback is old. Make the drivers smaller, harder to hit. Make the ball spin. Put consequences on length. But bitching about feckless governing bodies is tiresome

Taking the driver out this week is kind of refreshing to watch. It is now the easiest club in the bag to hit. This tourney is forcing players to think for a change. Complaining about the gate being opened long after the horse left - and who left it opened - is getting tired. I agree with you, BTW 🤷

It is a little sobering to know that I have watched his career in its entirety. And I am in the process of doing the same with Rory - and Scotty - if I live that long. Tiger was something else, like Seve and Jack combined and on steroids. If he never plays another tournament, it’s ok

I feel for the guy. He made a mistake that the bro culture will never let him forget, never mind that most of them will never get out of their parent’s basement.

PTI guys still calling a Yankees victory. lol. Such respect. I don’t think they know more than 5 guys on the Jays lineup.

Well phrased. Sadly, although the US rightfully gets the lion share of blame, adolescent male obscenity exists everywhere if it is allowed to…and if the US team somehow manages to play well in Ireland, it will be interesting to see how fan behaviour devolves despite Rors’ pleas. Hopefully, it won’t

Golf is only as honourable as the people playing it. The rules expect honour - after playing in hundreds of amateur events, reality would suggest otherwise

You’re correct, the actual answer of whether the data was wrong, or the interpretation of the data was wrong, will ever come out. The first two days were a disaster for the US, and someone will have to wear it eventually.

The US media seems to be right in lock step on this one.

I just turned on the proceedings after my morning round, only to hear that the ‘fans’ have smuggled in squeaky toys to use in the Euro’s backswings. I’m out, this is a farce.

This ridiculousness was predicted at least 6yrs ago. If you talk about it for the better part of a decade, what do you expect to happen?

Unfortunately, it will take a few generations to get through this. A polio epidemic, a measles epidemic, a smallpox epidemic - we lose a lot of stupid humans, the smart ones will remain vaccinated. That reality is horrific, but what other outcome is likely?

Great article. Regarding the current state of the troubles, I had thought it was relegated to the past, but alas these fools remain entrenched. No Laying Up did a pod that (in part) identified the underlying problems still in existence

Scottie is the anti-Tiger. He is single handedly strangling the life out of golf. Tiger was exciting. Scottie is boring as hell. Great player - all credit - but not making anyone watch
