Padraig Harrington's win at the Dicks was more impressive than high shoulders win at the Travelers.

Why can't these guys get rain gear that fits? Watching the british Open today and it seems every other pro out there is wearing rain pants with legs that are at least 6 inches too long. Even Tiger when he wears rain gear looks like a shlub.

When you put it that way, I guess it doesn't matter lol 🤣

I think the rain gear works in those conditions, cool rain. But I find rain gear defeats the purpose when it’s warm. @billchao @jamo and I played in Hartford a few years back and it was 80F and raining. If I put the rain gear on, I would sweat so much I would get soaked anyway. So we all just dealt with being wet.

I guess with the veclro/adjustable straps and the materials, it's not easy to alter the length.  I know that mine is too long, too.  Seems like they make the length disproportionately long compared to the waist size, across the board. Noticed it again w/Harman this weekend.  If anyone ever needed alterations, that would be the case.

I just saw that on GolfWrx. I bet he is neighbors with Patrick Reed.

WOW, that was a very deliberate action with absolute intent to cheat.  I'm not against him asking forgiveness but the scripture quote is a little much and also this was such a blatant cheat it makes me wonder if it was the first time he cheated.

The article said that if they didn't catch it, 13 players would have missed the cut.

Well, he'll be a perfect fit!

He might be my sworn nemesis, but Brian Harman gets my vote for best first pitch. Also, you can see how tiny he is here compared to Bat Boy (not sure if real name) who is towering over him

First, I never knew there was a crime specifically named "Strongarm Robbery".  Second, having had 2 heart transplants is irrelevnat in relation to the allegation of domestic violence.  Were they trying to generate sympathy for him?

Since he has had a rather lack luster career on the PGAT they have to come up with something to give him some sort of name recognition. Kind of like when Tommy Gainey got busted in an undercover hooker sting a while back. No real PGAT glory only a Big Break winner and the fact he wears two gloves. "Bottom Tier Tour Player Beats Up His Wife" doesn't have pizzazz, have to throw in the 2 time heart transplant angle. Probably will sign to LIV in the coming weeks.

It that were the case then is this is a disability and he needs to be accomodated instead of being held accountable?        Nah, Don't think so.
