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

FYI, Twitter will never be a good proxy for the real world. I follow way too much college football, and 90% of it is overdramatized BS to gain clicks and views. I would assume anything regarding LIV, is 90% BS.

Did LIV Golf pros cross an “etiquette” line last month at the Masters? Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington has a thought.

I do not mind cursing. I rather see some emotion on the course and honest reactions to bad shots or what not. I didn't catch it being a TON of cursing in this Masters. It was not noticeable.

You advertise LIV as "golf but louder"
You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place.
You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors.

What type of behavior do you expect?

120x120.png 'Indefensible' comment from LIV pro blasted: "100 per cent loser

LIV Golf's Talor Gooch was the butt of many jokes after Tiger Woods was handed a special invitation to play in...

Taylor Gooch continues to show what an assclown he really is. I wonder if Greg Norman thinks his attitude is representative of ‘growing the game’?

Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

He also said he was too stupid to understand the concept of sportswashing. 

He could’ve just said “I’m too stupid”, period.

I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’

He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.

cropped-favicon-512x512-1-180x180.png Jon Rahm draws Golf Channel analyst's ire: 'I want to wring his neck'

After Jon Rahm declared he still supported the PGA Tour despite being suspended for joining LIV Golf, a Golf Channel analyst was irate.

Rahm's comments are stupid. Lost some respect for him today.

Watched the interview live and felt similarly before the commentators began commentating.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
