Also, why the gently caress is this broadcast rocking that extreme narrow focus camera angle? What good is that? I want to see the green where the player is actually aiming. It’s not football, Jesus.

Who has volunteered at an event before? Since I live five minutes away from Orange County National, who is hosting a LIV event next month, I got an email looking for volunteers (marshal, supply distribution, hospitality access). Figured it could be an interesting way to spend a few hours

How do people feel about swing training tools? There seem to be some really common ones like the orange whip and speed ball. I'm really struggling to feel what an inside out swing (or just even plane) is like, and if there's anything in the sub $50 range that's legit I would definitely try it.

This is the healthiest the Cat has looked after 3 rounds in what feels like forever. Gives me a bit more hope we see him again before the Masters.

Added a bunch of pics and video from today at Riv: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vDDUAQiLv5gTxrYX8 Homa made it interesting mid-way through the round, but that tee shot and 2nd on #13 killed his momentum. We just happened to be talking with Max's father as he hit both of those shots, so that was wild. Other highlights were nearly getting hit by both Homa and Mitchell's drives left of 15 fairway. Rahm is a beast though, drat. This week was the best weather they've had for this tournament in years (it almost always rains one or two days), but the course was playing insanely firm and fast because of it.

I played just a little golf today   Definitely changing groups though. I had one of those want to quit golf rounds today(one par) in a foursome where the C player was a 5hci. I can't hang with that group, nor their teebox. The one monster par 4 I went driver 3 wood. Went driver hybrid on another. I couldn't get it to the monster par 3 with driver Those guys made 3 birdies each on the front! I spent most of the way trying to hit small fast sloped greens from 165+ when I hit a 7 150. Getting out driven by 50+ yards hosed with me something horrible. Dudes hitting PW as far as my 8 iron didn't help either. By the turn, I was convinced I was the worst player on the entire course. Turns out, that foursome contained the three top players there. Man, my expectations are so out of whack. I really had no idea. I'm looking at 6-8 foot putts like I have no business on a golf course if I can't make those. I would change something every time I missed to the point where was chunking everything. Still love the club. Lots of very very nice people, not a Karen to be found. My best friend grabbed me after the round and we played the first 5 holes again from a shorter tee while sharply questioning my approach to every shot. I went birdie par par bogey par. The first 5 holes on my course are definitely the hardest too. Bless that dude

Stay with that group for another round, but play appropriate tees. Playing with better players who aren't assholes is helpful to me. But, don't try to compete.

Bernhard Langer tied Hale Irwin for most wins on the Champions tour (45). 65 years old. Hit driver off the deck on the last hole even though he was up by 2.

I would say just swallow your pride and play up a box. I'll play up a tee if I'm working on something or I know I won't have a good time on approach shots. You'll thank yourself, and your playing partners will (or should) be happy you're playing better and therefore faster.

Learned a new skill today In winter, our typically bermuda fairways go dormant as hell resulting in lies tighter than dick's hatband. Using lob wedges on this is a surefire way to chunk one, as I learned last weekend. Spent a whole session with an 8-iron hitting 40 yard bump and runs and wow that's easy. You don't have to put near as much on the ball to get the distance and it does not dig in at all. Bunkers are still an issue but seems to work well on elevated greens too where you can bury it in the side of the hill to take most of the roll off. Neat.

Apparently Koepka (Brooks obviously) is having some big regrets about moving to LIV because he took the bag when he was injured and unsure if he'd ever play well again, and welp, turns out he can still play.

Sally Jenkins has an article in the WaPo where she just eviscerates the LIV tour. This is the opening sentence: "The airborne toxic event called LIV Golf is slowly dissipating, and soon all that will be left is the mere faint scent of its portable toilets."

So forgive my ignorance (I kind of dropped golf when covid hit) but what changed with regards to LIV? I thought a lot of posters here loved the idea of a competing league and that they were way ahead of the PGA in terms of streaming and technology.

The broadcast was offensively bad and it was just a confusing hodgepodge of random things happening due to the shotgun start. I would’ve kept it on my work laptop in the background week to week if it wasn’t so stupid and terrible
