Balls spinning backward at The Open! Travesty! The Open setup currently is both awesome and way too easy. The fairways are so good. Firm and bouncy. Rough isn’t punishing enough. Greens too soft. Wind picks up this afternoon let’s hope!

What pro golfer has the craziest golf swing? Has to be Brooke Henderson. Watch the giant, across the line backswing. Then watch the drop in the transition. Then perfect impact position. Incredible body rotation. She just had 3 eagles on Sunday at the Evian. Mad game.

Gary Woodland just hit 196 ball speed on the golf course. 360 yard drive. Thats 5MPH faster than Bryson’s “Beefcake” year average when he added 40 pounds to get longer. Gary is doing this at 42 without looking noticeably different than he ever has.

TPC Craig Ranch spent $25M on a full renovation. One of the goals was to challenge the pros more. Si Woo shot 60 today 😂. -18 after two days. (This is his missed putt for 59.) Guys when it rains and gets the course soft, there is nothing you can do.

Watch this crazy angle of Scottie Scheffler hitting a difficult pitch. What do you notice? I’ve watched it like 10 times and am now ready to go try this technique. My main takeaways: Face OPEN. Like way more open than I normally would have it. Steep takeaway. Keep it in front. Steep down. Hit the dirt! Don’t be afraid to take a divot on a short pitch. Aim conservatively. He was playing to avoid the big mistake. Lower expectations when out of position. This is a good result.

It’s the middle of June! Imagine coming up 18 on the Old Course and playing through a snow storm. That’s just what happened yesterday. Feel awful for the guys who lost their round. But for the ones who finished liked this, what a memory!

Matt Fitzpatrick’s winning iron on 18 is an advertisement for proper golf course strategy. He admitted later that it was a pull. So often we see balls land near pins and assume that was the target. These guys aren’t aiming for pins 90% of the time.

Is Renaissance Club (host course of the Scottish Open) the most underrated golf course in Scotland? I think it is. (Crail also a contender.) Why does it get underrated? It’s modern. Tom Doak design from 2008. It’s private, truly private. Most Scotland clubs allow outside play. Its gorgeous holes on the sea were added after its founding. So it didn’t initially get the attention and social media love sea holes get. The fescue turf is firm and fast, consistently amongst the best in the country. The land movement is great, despite a few holes being very flat. The greens are bold and challenging. It has everything a links course should have. It’s just an absolute blast to play. Can’t wait to see it on TV this week!

“Golf should be held to a higher standard”. Bravo, Rory. The fans insulting his wife and interrupting his swing should all be banned for life. And all “Mashed Potatoes!” yellers should be lobotomized. (I mean that literally.) Also let’s send “Get in the HOLE!” guys to El Salvador.

This just reaffirms my belief that alignment lines on balls should be banned. Takes forever. And even for a video can’t even align it correctly! (Most players can’t.) And the tests show it doesn’t make players make more putts. Complete waste of time.

Is The Sphere the coolest artificial feature at a golf course? The Wynn Golf Course in Vegas used to be known as just expensive and amazing conditions. Now it has a true attraction. Everyone wants to hit at the smiley face. Worthy the $750 green fee? In Vegas, that’s a good deal.

I blame Keegan. I blame the PGA for making him captain. But…as it often does…the Ryder Cup is a putting contest. Euros gained 8 strokes putting. 8!!! USA did better tee to green and got destroyed. Drive for show, putt for dough is real!!!

Wow. Bonkers. The Jordan Spieth cliff shot from an angle I’ve never seen before. All the people saying “He wasn’t even close to the cliff” can now apologize. Anyone who has been to that cliff knows how crazy his shot was. It was truly insane.

Sahith Theegala took a 2 stroke penalty for brushing sand at the Tour Championship. Called it on himself, not even the camera could catch it. Lost $2.5 million. A reminder that Patrick Reed once claimed this egregious act wasn’t a penalty. A lesson in character.

Scottie Scheffler hits his 3 wood 324 yards to pin high. Scottie isn’t even known as a super long hitter. (Top 50 in that department.) It’s okay to marvel at the player’s athleticism and brilliance, while also asking if enough is enough.

Ever seen someone tee it up this high? With a low ball flight! If I did this, my clubhead would be damaged beyond belief. A friend of mine is an absolute cracker of the ball. Hits an awesome drive over and over, 250+ yards, wonderful ball flight that stays out of the wind. And tees the ball up an inch over the entire clubface!

Patrick Cantlay FIRED UP after this eagle! Rumor has it that he’s been re-motivated after hearing that Fleetwood got the Blackstone sponsorship. He has set a personal goal to get KKR or BlackRock on his bag. That’s his true major championship.

Okay, let’s talk about Rory’s “illegal” driver he may have used at the Masters. For those who haven’t heard, Rory’s driver was deemed non-conforming before the PGA. Haters are using this as proof he had an illegal driver to win the Masters. That’s not what it means at all. Driver faces wear over time. After thousands of high impact swings, they can become non-conforming. The governing bodies test a portion of drivers at each event. Every time some drivers are found to be non-conforming. A driver can literally be totally fine one swing and “non-conforming” the next. That’s how tight the tolerances are. It’s impossible for a player to know. A “legal” driver could be fine on the 15th hole and not on the 16th hole. It’s possible Rory’s club was non-conforming at the Masters. It’s also possible it became non-conforming after. Also, it’s guaranteed that other players were playing non-conforming drivers, because they always are. It’s just a bad system. Every driver should be tested every week, simple as that. This half measure just leads to this nonsense. BTW, your driver at home could be non conforming as well. You would never know.

My son has to have the best golf swing for a 20 hcp you will ever see. 115 mph swing speed, 290 carry. But he never played enough to get good and now plays just a few times a year. I tell him if he commits to golf for a season he will be killing me no problem.

Some of the worst TV coverage in golf history. Sam Burns ties the major record shooting a 62 at Royal Birkdale. USA viewers basically didn’t see any of it. Somehow the production team didn’t think we should see one of the lowest rounds ever.

Scheffler misses a 5 footer to lose the tournament. IMO he lost it when he hit the better iron shot in approach. All the pressure went to him. Hovland gets to putt and if he misses, still alive. Scottie was putting for survival. You sensed it.

8th win in LIV for Joaco Niemann! Probably $100M in total earnings. If LIV folds, these wins may mean nothing. But that money will still be there. And if not going to win majors, the money is better. Better to be forgotten and rich than less rich.

“Bomb and gouge works best” “The reward for hitting the fairway is not that great”. Scottie’s thoughts on the PGA setup are honest but not exciting to hear. Deep rough lined fairways promote distance, not accuracy. This is counter intuitive to most.
