It is the morning after the PGA and I was very pleased.Β  The tournament was excellent and even the coverage was good.Β 

There was suspense well into the back nine with many great shots by many different players.Β  Since the leader board was tight they showed many different golfers instead of just a few leaders and "Big Names".Β Β It is nice to see the talent of those that are not in the final group but still a part of the tour.Β  I think I saw more shots of different pros in this tournament than in any other.

As for the coverage, they avoided the worthless interviews such as earlier this year when they interviewed Bill Murray and Pres. Trump.Β  Instead they focused on golf.Β  Having Phil join the booth was enjoyable.Β  Maybe they should try to get a different play join for an hour each tournament.Β  That would let us get to know the other players that may not get as much media attention.

I may go contrary to many but I liked that there were no fans.Β  When showing the course you could easily see the surroundings and not just a line of fans along the fairway.Β  It gave me a very different feel to each hole.Β  Also, I did not miss the shouting of "Mashed Potatoes", etc. after the shots.

The only thing I did not like was that I needed to purchase ESPN+ to watch the early rounds. Fortunately it was only $5 and I can cancel so really not too much to complain about there.

I thought it was just me. I think the coverage is way better without fans andΒ you don't have to listen to the mindless "BABAΒ BOOEEE!" or "GET IN THE HOLE!"Β

Since those guys are drunken cretins it stands to reason they don't read much.Β  Therefore they're not reading these comments and saying, "Ooh, that's me, I need to fix my behavior."

Some of those "Yellers" are so sharp......like when they yell "Get in the Hole" and it totally misses the green.Β Β

I think you are taking them way to seriously. He is having a friendly dig at some his playing colleagues. IfΒ there are not able to take a bit of light hearted ribbing from a fellow competitor, they shouldn't be playing professional sport.Β 

I agree with Rory’s take.Β

Disagree. His comments were petty and disrespectful to the other players. Then he proceeded to drop his pants and get schooled. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.🀣

His comments about having more majors than DJ were faintlyΒ reminiscent of Colin Montgomery's comments before the third round of the '97 Masters about experience, when he was paired with Tiger.Β  The difference, though, is that Brooks hadΒ already proven himself, whereas when Montgomery opened his yap, Tiger already had more PGA tour victories (3) than Montgomery would ever get (0).

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I'm rreally bugged by how much better ESPN is at golf vs CBS.

CBS does not do the game any favour without creating a good tv product.

They can’t blame the PGA Tour either.

Agree. If they ever have children, they will be born with golf clubs in their hands. She played college gold too.

Yes, to state the obvious you are hung up on what he says, I am looking at what he does/has done. And it's one poor round.Β

Right...it goes both ways. Brooks talked trash. Fine. Then he got schooled so it’s 100% acceptable to ride him for it. I like DJ and the other guys on the leaderboard. I’m not a fan of Brooks at all. It’s sports. Has nothing to do with being hung up on anything. When a team/player you don’t care for loses ...ya rib β€˜em. πŸ˜›

Welp, one thing we can agree on.. would have loved nothing more than a DJ win yesterday. Although, sometimes you wonder he wants it as bad as others want him to want it. That rolling stone won't ever gather any moss...πŸ˜•Β

DJ to win again? No thanks. That guy isn't a story. He's not interesting.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Lol.

Edit:

Question: What's the difference between DJ (Cardboard box #1) and BK (Cardboard box #2)?Β 

Answer: Cardboard box #2 can give you a paper cut..πŸ˜†

There's a picture of the two of them from last year's Open that is absolutely adorable.Β  I'm not sure if it's appropriate or not to link, so unless I'm told I should, I'll refrain.

They might be my favorite celebrity couple right now.Β

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.
