There's a picture of the two of them from last year's Open that is absolutely adorable.  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. 

You're passing on Kanye and Kim???

He’s got a year to get the other 3 majors.

...and 10 before age 30.

Then we’ll talk.

Classic TV with some interesting numbers on shots televised. Granted, tracking only started in 2014. I guess with The Masters on YouTube, one could record these numbers for a much longer time period but The Masters I'm guessing is an anomaly.

Quote

This resulted in an average of 1.69 strokes per minute which is by far the highest I have ever recorded for any golf major since starting this tracking in 2014. The previous high was 1.41 for the 2017 Masters. For comparison, the 2019 PGA had only 1.14 shots per minute.

... without the big belt buckle.  Nor the grip-up on his driver.

Anthony Kim didn't grip up, he gripped down!  

I miss him.

Those two are a great couple, no doubt, but have they ever produced a picture like this?

Oh, and look, he's got a noticeable belt buckle, to tie it in with your other comment. :-)

I forgot about AK. Morikawa has a great start but lets see how it goes.

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.

If only ESPN had an Amanda Balionis...

Why?  Because he is Asian American like Kim?  

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Ratings for CBS are good, but not as good as 2018 when Woods was in contention. ESPN fared better, relative to TNT.

Quote

According to Showbuzzdaily, the final round on CBS drew a 3.27 average Nielsen rating, and peaked at 6.873 million during the back nine. That’s up from last year’s first-ever May playing but down significantly from the most recent August playing in 2018 when Brooks Koepka dueled with Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, among others.

Quote

Sunday’s final round coverage, which aired from noon until 3 p.m. ET,  averaged 1,965,000 viewers, up 60 percent over TNT’s final-round  telecast from 2019 and the most-viewed final round on cable since 2010.  Sunday’s telecast peaked at 2.4 million viewers and was above 2 million  from 1:15 – 3 p.m.

Across all four rounds, ESPN averaged 1,659,000 viewers and 399,000  viewers in the ages 18-49 demographic, up 35 percent and 54 percent,  respectively, from TNT’s coverage last year. In addition to being the  most-viewed PGA Championship on cable since 2010, ESPN’s average of ages  18-49 viewers was up 40 percent over the past five years.

ESPN’s live coverage of the PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco finished as the most-viewed edition of the event on cable since...

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
