    FORE!

    I seem to be one of the only sports fans on earth who pays very little attention to the differences in announcers, but what is the complaint? If I’ve ever heard Furyk announce any golf I haven’t noticed it. Is he bad? Or has he not announced and you just think he’ll be bad? I barely even...

    Where Do You Get Your News?

    I read our local newspaper in Ashe County front to back with coffee every week. Did the same with The Pilot twice a week for years in Pinehurst. I'm sure some of it is because of nostalgia, but honestly I just find it easier to read a paper than articles online. Same reason I prefer a book to...

    RIP Dolly

    Man, this one sucks. Dolly represented all that was good of an America that feels less and less like the one we grew up in everyday. My Mom went to a Dolly show one time in the late seventies. Dolly head a Q&A at the end of the show, and a fan asked her if she thought it was OK for couples to...

    FORE!

    You have to have them for television purposes. It would be virtually unwatchable live with that much dead air between shots. They used to always have a consolation match for the Dell Match Play for the same reason, and even that left a lot of time to fill with only four golfers on the course...

    FORE!

    Welp, good timing for this discussion. The Tour officially announced today that they're incorporating Match Play into the Championship starting in 2028. Cliff's Notes... - One final stroke play event will determine the Top 90 (of 132) players in FedEx points. Those 90 will qualify for the next...

    FORE!

    What would y'all like to see the Tour playoffs/Championship look like going forward, and what do you expect it to look like? They've butchered this thing about as poorly as you possibly can. Playing your playoffs in August in Memphis, St. Louis, and Atlanta is inhumane. Personally, I think...

    FORE!

    Twelve Top 4's with only two wins is crazy. Can't imagine how frustrating that's been for him. Was listening to NLU this week and they made a good point about how they appreciate that Scottie never mails it in. If he shows up to a tournament, he's going to grind for four days. Came up because...

    FORE!

    Scottie doesn't have the wins this season, but even with his approach play dipping this year his floor has been absolutely absurd.

    Unfortunately, @egr2teup drop-ins are becoming more and more rare. I'm hoping he's healthy and doing well, and this is just a byproduct of a ZZL that has virtually no board traffic.

    FORE!

    Playing two of the three legs of your Playoffs in Memphis and Atlanta in August remains the one of the dumbest things the PGA Tour has ever done. Rickie Fowler is currently doing a walk and talk with a towel draped around his neck while holding an umbrella saying he'd rather be at the pool. The...

    FORE!

    Spieth ended up making par here and is currently T3, but is his current form the lowest point of his career thus far? Feels like he's never going to win again.

    FORE!

    The next 6 months are going to be fascinating to watch for LIV and its relevant players. They're going to have to declare bankruptcy, and I can't imagine there's any way they sell Rahm on staying with an equity deal after that. BDC will be more interesting. There's a realistic scenario for him...

    FORE!

    Ironically, the strongest argument for blades is how well they fit the eye. I think that would be a unanimous opinion among pretty much all golfers that blades just look sharper. Whether I could game them or not is an entirely different story...
