I suppose if you were to poll a certain type of person they would say that. 
 

A poll like that would not be substantiated. 

Guessing if you had been polled you would have said everything is just fine, thank you.  Well, you're in your own smallish minority.  What if I told you the poll was done by Breitbart?

Moderators:  If I'm getting close to a warning in this politics-related thread please advise me.  I am trying to hold my tongue as best as I can.  😁

I won't watch a tournament played at a course owned by a known golf cheater.

The key to this thread is not to think of it from a political perspective, but a business one.

In this case its the business of the PGA Tour.  The PGA Tour doesn't want to only sell to conservatives or liberals. It wants to sell to both. So the question, is what to do about a major tournament at a golf course owned by a controversial figure. Even the biggest Trump supporters will make necessary decisions in this case.

That decision, probably, is to move the tournament and eat the contract.

There are not two versions of facts.

The PGA ≠ The PGA Tour.

I don’t know that they’ll have to eat the contract.

Don't know how they draw those things up, but I'm sure our litigious commander in chief will do his best.

I think we're getting trolled

The guy has posted quite a bit, so he's no stranger to the forum.  Personally, I wouldn't call him a troll.  But I would suggest he's a bit mislead.

Perhaps there's something in the contract about 2nd impeachments or 25th amendments.  That was in my contract when I bought my house.  So far I've managed to avoid breaking my contract.

If you are at risk of either of those consider me impressed. It is very thoughtful of the sellers to have included that.

Yes, the bank was very forward-looking.  They took one look at me and insisted those items go in the contract/mortgage papers.

Correct me if I'm wrong.  Isn't there a precedent for this?  I seem to recall a tournament being moved from Doral (owned by the person we're referring to here) to Mexico some years ago.

I've read most of the excerpts from that book but I didn't want to get too political.  So, as I usually do, I followed a moderate path in my discourse.

In Scotland you have to putt them all out.

What makes you think Scotland would have him?

Well, even though there's an extradition treaty with them, I think he might want to escape there and play golf (at his own course) where he's less accessible to the Southern District of NY.

The 2022 PGA should be moved. The country will be in full swing for the 2022 elections, likely to be highly contentious.  Can you imagine the crowd at the tournament? Likely more a political crowd than a golf crowd.  It could be difficult for the players and difficult to broadcast.  And certainly a poor look for the game.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
