PGA TOUR Statement regarding Jon Rahm On the evening Monday, May 31, the PGA TOUR notified Jon Rahm that he was subject to contact-tracing protocols, as he had come in close contact with a person who...

Pretty wild situation.

I’ve had two friends die from COVID in the last month. So I find your opinion disturbing. Rahm had his chance to get vaccinated and chose to delay. I have no sympathy for his WD. I’ve know quite

Had 54 hole tourney record, on pace for the 72 hole record, up by 6 strokes and loses a potential $1.67 million. Unreal. Never been a huge fan of Rahm but this really sucks.

How is someone in his position not vaccinated yet? I've been vaccinated for weeks now.

I think he's been vaxxed

Also, is there a reason he couldn't play alone?

Kind of a odd occurrence, on many levels, plus I sure hope he wasn’t vaxxed  better for us, and all I see on golf channel is the mornings test was positive so they retested the same sample, I understood they do that but why not get a second sample to test? Plus yea for a million bucks and a course record let him play alone.

Not vaxxed, no official release but reading several stories that the protocol that he was following is that of someone who has not been vaccinated.

Players play, tough players win!

Even if he was... if he was in close contact (which is how they’re saying he got it) you can still get it if you’re vaccinated.  They probably wouldn’t have found out though as they wouldn’t have tested him daily

Don’t forget a whole bunch of vaccinated NY Yankees got covid. The strength of the vaccine is it pretty much guarantees you won’t die and you’ll be a lot less sick.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

They waited for the extra test to confirm it.

Let him play alone? Sure. Maybe just give him a round if 65 and be done with it.  No need for protocols and rules to apply to him. He’s a professional sportsman. They’re much more important than plebs like us. 🤨

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He was not. If he had been here wouldn’t have to get tested.

Absolutely not.

Not familiar with the USGA and PGA COVID protocol but is he in danger of missing the U.S. Open?

He’s supposed to isolate until 2 days before it begins.  Not much time to practice, but wont miss

But if he was vaxxedd, he wouldnt have been a part of this testing program that flagged him

If that's true than I kind of feel like it's on him for taking that risk.

Is it possible he was tested only because he was in close proximity to somebody who had tested positive?

Why not? To “send a message?”

What?! No. It’s a f***ing sport with rules.

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve seen.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
