I find this much more interesting than BDC. Hope he makes it.

100% agree. The videos I’ve watched where KB films his rounds....he’s got a pretty good game. I’d definitely follow him on the tour.

What's impressive is how often Kyle drives the ball onto the fairway despite his crazy length.

Expand  

Well he could probably get around many courses teeing off with a 5i....lol.

Why? BDC is a proven winner. KB just makes ball go far haha. I’ve watched several of his course vlogs, and they are fun to watch though. I just think it’s cool to see a guy change everything to go after distance and play at the highest level. Pretty interesting to me.

It will be fun to watch for sure. My Evolvr instructor uses Kyle for some of my drills.

Because BD is a bit of a douche and KB is cool.

Eh I think that card is overplayed. I don’t know any of these guys personally. Tiger cheated on his wife with troves of women and no one cares. BDC made a dumb comment toward a camera guy about his brand. So what? I try to give the benefit of a doubt and reserve judgment unless I know the person personally.

This is true though it seems. I like his videos.

I’m not a BDC fan. I find him whiny and entitled, and his “different” approach to the game strikes me as obnoxious because it seems at times done just to be different.

So is Patrick Reed. Couldn’t care less about him, either.

My sentiments exactly.

Benefit of doubt can only be given until someone does enough things to prove doubt is no longer warranted. You don’t have to know someone personally to gain an understanding of their character.

He’s a proven cheater though. There’s a difference. That character flaw is measurable as a violation of the rules.

Seems like taking a page out of Jamie Sadlowski's book. Good luck to him. Absolutely 100 percent welcome.

He would certainly add color if not depth to the tour, but who knows, might turn out to be an absolute magician with the putter.. 😂

This is kind of the Tony Finau route, no? Finau had lots of distance, not KB distance, but dialed it down for control.

There's a video at the end of the piece where he doesn't do the rocking thing.

I bet some of the USGA folks are like, gawd, I hope he doesn't get anywhere with this.

I kind of want to see him succeed just to dispel the notion that big burly people have no touch, finesse.

I didn’t realize whether or not I liked a professional golfer needed to be vetted by the Rules of Golf.

BDC is a repeat offender of 5.6.

He’s listed as 6’3”, 215. He’s not that big.

I agree with you there.

However, I’m not going to be so quick to judge a person whom I don’t know just because they play slow, the media portrays him as a “mad scientist,” or he screwed up once in how he dealt with a camera guy.

To me, it’s no different than that one guy at the drive thru that got your order wrong once or like a poster on this forum, like me 😂, who went off and got warning points. Haha. I’d hope we have a little more compassion, or at least patience, for each other than that.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By Elmer · Posted

      I played in a league in which the rule for lost ball was 1 stroke and you drop anywhere along the line in which the ball traveled (no closer to the hole). This also counted for lost balls OB, in rough or even fairway. I believe the rule was suggested by the course. The league had 60 members and only a 2 hours to get everyone out on the course. So the course itself promotes fast play. I am not even sure that the starter or ranger would let you walk back to the tee!

      Does Anyone Else Use a Staff Bag?

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I have a Titleist one that I use with my electric trolley. Fits perfectly on there and I don't care about the weight because I'm not carrying it or pushing it. I have room for everything I could need and when it's hot I have plenty of room for lots of water.

      Would You Rather…?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      Quick question for you. If you had Tiger Woods hit all of your full shots and you just did the chipping, putting and sand shots what do you think your handicap would be?

      Does Anyone Else Use a Staff Bag?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      So yesterday I happened to find myself in a Play-It-Again sports and they had that very Cobra Staff Bag for $150.00.  It looked to be in perfect or near-perfect condition. I immediately wondered if the guy I saw using it on Wednesday had hocked it at Play-It-Again. 😁

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      See you Saturday at Reserve Run.  I have to confess, even thought it's a long way out. I'm pretty excited about next year end of April. The tournament I play every year for the better part of 2 decades is moving to Paiute Golf Club in Las Vegas. We'll get to use The Wolf and Sun Mountain courses for our tournament and get to do the Horserace on The Snow Mountain Course. I'm already looking forward to it.
