PGA Tour Golf thread

Whilst I do agree the breaks are annoying and yes totally agree that the open on the bbc, free to air is how it should be....to say sky have killed golf is a bit silly

In fact if iirc when it was on the Bbc the coverage didn't start till late in the day, certainly on the first two days, where as sky have had it all

[Buzzo]

I didn't mean literally

They've just made it difficult for the part time arm chair golfer such as myself.

BBC golf coverage was pretty good imo.

[PTP]

I know

But it was about the 20th time I've heard someone say sky has killed golf haha

I did similar on the 18th green the other day

2nd shot - A beautiful second into the green (par 4), took a big bounce and ended up at the back of the green on an awkward downhill lie.

3rd shot - Fatted my chip onto the green about 40ft away from the hole

4th shot - decent long putt, knocked it about 6ft past the hole

5th shot - knocked it about 6ft past the hole again

6th shot - knocked it about 6ft past the hole AGAIN

7th shot - left if short

8th shot - Tapped in (5 puts )

I'd played well as well, had a run of 3 birdies in 5 holes (incredible for me) and in completely wrecked my card

[Shaggy]

I'd be launching clubs at that point. Not sure I've ever five putted. Four putted plenty.

[Pablo]

It honestly made me feel dizzy at the total totalling them up. I was only +4 after 11 holes and on my way to break 80.

I ended up +15 +11 for the final 7 holes.

Bottled it, although my excuse was I racing against the fading light to finish and had to rush (jogging inbetween some shots ). A couple of the shots I lost completely into the sun as it was so low.

Jack Nicklaus outing himself as a Trump voter

[Shaggy]

So depressing - but not at all surprising - how many golfers, usually wealthy golfers, are right as wing as ****.

[Shaggy]

And how depressing is that? "I've learned to look past" the racism, the misogyny etc. **** off Jack.

[Buzzo]

**** off Jack.

Trump is more into Golf than any of the other things so getting a few golf pals to wade in was probably easy. SO thats Jack Nicklaus and the Taliban in favour.

Thankfully most people who know who Jack Nicklaus is will probably already be Trump supporters. I think the die have been cast now. Everyone who is going to vote surely already either has, or knows what they are going to do.

Yes that's my logic/hope too

The comments below the tweet suggest this has not gone down well with his followers.

Some suggestions that this may have also assisted in Nicklaus making the decision.
