Anyone else a little turned off by golf media fawning over DeChambeau’s long drives?
As if distance off the tee has ever meant anything in regards to your final score.

He was already good, top 10-20 in the world, so those extra yards do indeed mean something. It's that close at the top.

Played Shepard’s Crook up in Zion yesterday. Nice track that’s fairly wide open and forgiving, but with pretty undulated greens and difficult pins.
Shot an 83, but definitely left a few shots out there.

Played out at Mount Prospect in the heat yesterday, first time since they renovated it a few years back. Honestly, the biggest circus greens I’ve ever played with all their tiers and undulations.

The dead trees are gone for the most part and some of the holes are now realigned. Nice course and very scoreable but the greens are now impossible to putt on.

Sunday I made a tee time in Byron then text my buddy to show up. For some reason I was thinking Timber Point in Poplar Grove, so what happens? We both show up at the wrong golf course at the same time. No communication between us, just plain dumb luck. Had an eagle, shot 3 over. Got drunk. Not in that order.

Nice shootin Tex....Organizational skills, not so much.

Super close finish to the PGA Championship. There's about 8 guys who could win it and we have about 5 holes to go.

-6 on a Sunday to win is a hell of a round, the best player won.
Glad it wasn’t DeChambeau or golf media would be unlistenable this next month.

Played Highlands of Elgin yesterday. Beautiful course but it was gale force wind levels combined with an already dry course. Greens were near impossible to putt on.
Heading to Pine Meadow in Mundelein today, hear it’s one of the nicest in the area.
