Bryson DeChambeau apparently has some “big news” to share later today, as he hinted via Twitter on Monday afternoon. He’ll share such news at 3 p.m. ET. “Excited to share some big news at 3pm ET today,” DeChambeau teased...

 

Okay what do you think the "Big News" will be?

Bryson DeChambeau keeps on changing the game. This time, he’s doing it off the course. On Monday, the bulked-up bomber who has been on a unique quest for more distance became the first golfer to re…

You realize the 3PM thing was for Monday, aka yesterday right? He already announced it and it's the NFT stuff that @krupa mentioned.

Can anyone explain NFTs to me? I think I get the general gist, but I don't get why people would pay lots of money for them. I don't want to be the old man who yells at cloud, but I really don't get them at all.

I have no f***ing idea why someone would want to "own" something like a video clip or whatever. It's not yours to sell.

I'm aware that NFTs can represent real-world stuff, like real estate, and then you can "give" that NFT or sell it to someone else.

But that's not how it's being used mostly, from what I know, right now.

NFT's look like a pyramid or ponzi scheme to me.  Or maybe it is like the pet rock thing.  It can only last for so long before it becomes worthless

To me an NFT item is like a patented item - idea, thing, digital file, whatever. The original owner ID is maintained/tracked. As far as paying money for it, it is same as paying money for patenting something.

I get why someone might be interested in collecting NFTs, but I'm not. I don't know if the Venn diagram of NFT collectors and Bryson DeChambeau fans is a very large population.

This Ali G Ice Cream Glove skit came to mind for some reason.

I think it is more like a copyright than patent. I have three patents and it protects the idea and concept from copying for commercial purposes, not necessarily the image or “art” of the patent. This sounds more like a music or film copyright that is for sale to the general public. I have music copyrights for a number of songs that are protected from someone recording them to make money.

I believe they can be sold, that is part of the idea with the "Blockchain", to track who actually owns the NFT and who has the right to sell it.

I'm a little taken back by NFTs as well.  A "Digital Trading Card" is simply a digital picture with a "Code" that stops it from being able to be copied and to identify it as "Unique".  I would guess they will likely end up like all of those Beanie Babies from several years back.

Well, music and digital 'art' is where it started and has had the highest need for obvious reasons. But really can be used for any digital item you don't someone else to profit from as an original.

Why? The idea of protecting originality is not original. Virtual media has value, even if it is lame to some.

It is not the idea of protecting originality that gets me.  I fully understand protecting music and the ability to pay royalties to the writers, that makes perfect sense to me.   What I do not understand is why anyone would pay thousands+ for a digital trading card.  OK I admit, it is not all that different than paper trading cards.  Some of those NFT trading cards are selling for big bucks.  That is what I am taken back by.

Does anyone care about BDC enough right now to pay for one of these things? Apparently someone cares. This "card" is going for over 5K

This NFT is limited to just one edition. This NFT commemorates Bryson’s raw power and the distance that comes along with it. With his newfound distance, Bryson can attempt shots that most cannot. In addition to winning...

 

Seems like a stupid way to spend money.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
