Dottie Pepper | My Take on LIV After what seems like 6 months of non-stop talk about LIV, here’s my take in writing.

I can and do. I have friends who were murdered in the 9-11 terrorist attacks.  I believe I'm aloud to condemn you if you murder my friends. I can draw the line any old place I want. I c

Still not watching LIV.

Same, ^^^. Just can't get excited to see the same guys, for the most part, play every tournament.  And not seeing Patrick Reed play golf, is a plus.

Maybe I'm officially an old fart.

I don't like the shotgun format. I also kind of feel like the announcers are "trying too hard" if that makes sense. In terms of trying too hard, I feel the same way about the teams thing. That really feels forced to me. 

Don't get me started on the flash mob. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I think he might be betting on the merger. Then he gets to have his cake and eat it too.

I get that.  Still disappointing.

Have to say this has been an interesting week of news tid bits....just saying.   Is this the next step toward to a new face of professional golf?  With the supsected leaving of Jon Rahm to LIV, the ball rollback that is to begin in 2028, Tiger "managing" another return (for how long) - makes me wonder if there were similiar rumblings within golf when Tiger came on the scene in the late '90's, drivers were suddenly made of metal and ballooned to 460cc, grooves were redifined....just pondering.

I'll now actively root against Jon Rahm.

Which, let's be honest, will be like 4x a year, because I'm not going to watch LIV crap.

I’m almost 60 and don’t consider myself an old fart but shotgun starts suck, unless you’re playing a scramble.

Rahm went from being one of the more articulate pro golfers to coming off like a LIV bot spewing out the same old talking points - grow the game, team golf, new format, innovation, best choice for my family, etc.

LIV is practically unwatchable, and Rahm doesn't make it any less so. Outside of the majors, and a few other events like Ryder Cup I have almost zero interest in men's professional golf. If there is some sort of LIV/PIF/PGAT merger in the future, I don't see myself regaining any interest.

I don't see what the long game is here, from the perspective of fan interest. Feels like men's pro golf is intent on destroying itself.

I might watch the majors and the Cups next year. And some LPGA Tour stuff. I already watched more LPGA Tour stuff this year than non-major men's events. By like a 2.5:1 ratio.

I think I might have added a clause to my contract saying I don't have to take any cheesy pictures with Greg Norman when I sign.
