Just got back from a golf trip in Hawaii. There were sharp, treacherous lava rock formations lining the course in places where water would usually be. And because you could easily cut yourself on the rocks, nobody ventures out there to retrieve their balls. You could easily see hundreds of thousands of balls all over the place. Great golf course but the pro shop was stupid expensive. $200 for a shirt with logo, so I settled on a $50 trucker hat.

Scheffler is a god damn stud. Best in the world, no question. Now he can ask 800 million from LIV, and probably get it.

Scotty hung tough and waited for the others to fail then he turned it up a notch with a near Eagle Birdie on #9.Then Birdie on 10. Not hurt by Bogey on 11 as that hole killed most others. Oh to be that good and he just seems like an easy going Dude, no controversy with him.

Some of you may disagree but Nelly Korda is officially hotter than Scottie the body Scheffler.

Some of you may disagree but Nelly Korda is officially hotter than Scottie the body Scheffler. Nelly weighs 50 lbs. Not hotter than anyone. Already a greater athlete than her Dad, Petr.

What does Scottie Scheffler think of gay people? His only flaw methinks.

LIV golf in Adelaide, Australia was pretty wild. The crowd was absolutely insane. Raucous, drunk and wild.
The team event went to a playoff (between a team of Aussies and a team of South Africans) and they were cheering and singing like loud drunken assholes as the South Africans missed a putt or if their ball rolled in the bunker. Dean Burmester yelled Shut the fuck up to the fans as they were singing something like "aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi" during his swing. Fans were climbing trees, buildings, throwing stuff at players, blocking areas of play. With pop music blasting out during play. They had a lot of police out there, because obviously the staff wasn't enough, or maybe they weren't expecting 10.000 drunk hooligans standing on the fairway, singing?
I wonder if the beer was free or if Australian golf fans are just like that?
In the end, the Australians win. The crowd erupted as Oosthuizen hit the bunker. It was a pretty fun atmosphere. I think if golf was like that all the time, more casual fans would tune in. And conservative golf fans are probably horrified at the bedlam in Adelaide.

Took my annual trip to Whistling Straits yesterday. We always go in April for the early season rates. Last year it was 44 degrees, steady drizzle, and 20+ mph winds. Miserable, but still pretty cool.
Complete 180 weather wise. It was in the mid 70's, sunny, but still WIND! 25-30 mph with 40 mph+ gusts. Just brutal. Standing over the ball with your shirt flapping up your back made it very difficult to concentrate, especially on the elevated tees. The course is already a visually intimidating mind fuck, but this was another level. I putt with a line, but the ball wouldn't sit still on the green so I had to adjust on the fly.
My plan was to be as conservative as possible. Club up, swing smooth and easy to keep the spin down and hopefully penetrate the wind. Bogies were the goal with the hope of sneaking a few pars. The plan almost worked to perfection. My ball striking was great and my putting was better than expected with the forced changes in my routine. I sank multiple putts in the 5-10 foot range to save par.
One disaster hole: my drive was stuck on the side of a mound. The ball was chest high. I tried to just punch/baseball swing it out, but I shanked it into a bunker and my third shot was played from my knees. I ended up with a 200 yard shot into wind. Instead of playing it safe, I pulled out my 230 yard club (5 wood) and tried the hero shot. It missed right and rolled down a 25 foot hill into a collection area. I blame my caddie for not talking me out of it, lol. More bad things happened after that and it led to a double par 8.
7 pars 7 bogies 3 doubles 1 blow up hole +17/89 but I played so much better than the score.
How do you post pictures on this message board?
