If I had to carry those bags, I’d wear shorts in winter. I’d sweat buckets otherwise.

Ok sure, some people run hot, but you know there's times those guys are just trying to be tough when it's an early tee time with 46° with 25 mph winds at the British Open

Oompa loompa doompety doo

If you like golf here's something for you

Oompa loompa doompety dee

Golf is hard so listen to me.

What do you get when you slice off the tee?

A taste of a life that you didn't foresee.

How do you swing so the ball will go straight?

Maybe you should try to shift. Your. Weight?

I don't like the looks of this.

 

Oompa loompa doompety da

If you swing fast then the ball will go far.

You would live in happiness too.

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do!

Nice write-up on the strength of the PGA Tour:

GettyImages-1473066406-scaled-e167867659

Scheffler ran away with The Players Championship on Sunday, vaulting himself back to No. 1 in the world.

Good point: "Worth considering, it might be wise for those players complaining about the tour siphoning off the lower parts of its totem pole to at least pick up the pace. And perhaps some premier players could hurry the hell up, too. When play was suspended at 4:47 p.m. Friday, 71 players remained on the golf course despite there being no prior delays. As noted by AP golf writer Doug Ferguson, in events played on a single course, the tour has not completed the second round of a tournament on a Friday since Nov. 4 in the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba."

Hmm.. let's see. Mike Weir is on the Champions Tour. Paddy H. too while we are talking about it. JV has been playing, just not making it to the weekend too often. I think he did at the Honda Classic. Hunter is semi retired I think, heard him on NLU podcast. Don't know about OS. I guess I could look each one up but don't care to enough. 

You could have thrown Sean O'Hair on your list.

Well, two of your four are pretty darn old… and the other two, just aren't terribly good at golf right now.

That's what I thought. I remember the name from an NLU podcast from their Callaway days talking about the increased ball speeds from the flash face technology, and they also joked about how good his hair was.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that. 
    • Day 2: Speed training session
    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
