If you grouped Tiger with two random club pros, you still wouldn’t be able to put together a group using the rest of the field that could equal his group’s majors or PGA Tour wins totals.

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.

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.

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. :-)

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.

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.

      Local Rule Mlr E5-5 in Comps - Thoughts?

      By iacas ·

      I don't know what you mean by "middle of the fairway." No, the relief area goes 2 club lengths into the fairway (and extends away from there). Also, I don't know why "obviously" is in quotes. I didn't use that word, nor is it relevant here. If your ball is lost or known to be OB, you can use the MLR if it's in place.

      Day 7: 4/27 Session 9/24 of Full Speed Spectrum Training. Tied for my second highest speed of this program. Good session but I feel like I am leaving a little in the tank!

      By Stryper ·

      So even if a ball is obviously OOB? What constitutes "obviously". Let's say the person hitting says "I think that stayed in". The other three disagree and say it was obvious it did not. He cannot be forced to take a provisional can he? So this rule essentially offers the person hitting the ability to not have to risk going OOB again and hitting 4 from the middle of the fairway where the ball went OOB. Or am I reading the rules incorrectly?

      Lots of clubs institute this MLR. Even when conditions don't lead to a lot of lost balls. I see no problem with it. It does mean you're hitting your fourth (if your tee shot is missing), of course.
