6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn PGA TOUR winner Grayson Murray passes away at 30

Grayson Murray, who won his second PGA TOUR title at this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii...

That's horrible to hear, 30 years old. I can only hope for his families sake at least it was from a medical issue and not something else. No cause of death listed anywhere, just articles that make it a point that he' was a  recovering alcoholic and battled with depression. RIP Grayson.

Tweets say that he was looking unwell and withdrew on the 17th on Friday. Sad to hear. Curious as to what the issue was, though.

Omg…what a tragedy. I wonder if he had an undiagnosed heart condition?

Was listening to Nance and Co report (I'm watching a delayed replay of today's round) and they reported that he had just had a string of bogies and when he finished the 17th he told his playing mates "I'm done" and went to the tent and WD.  Its sad that his life is over at 30 but maybe it speaks to the pressures that these guys deal with week in and week out.

Most likely  suicide as  he  had taken a  leave from the tour  before due to severe  depression. It  hits  many of  us for  many reasons

This is the  cutoff  part where he says  he  is taking a  medical leave. Godspeed

Let's not speculate on things like that.

Tragic. I can only imagine how the family must feel. There was a prominent lady golfer in my home town that won the State Am several times, coached the men's Jr College team and who was simply well thought of around here. Same thing.....battled depression and took her own life. Happened during COVID. For us that have never experienced serious depression it can be hard to understand. But it's a serious problem and happens too frequently.

I can not imagine what was going through his mind when he walked off the golf course and WD. Jesus, what a f'd up situation. His poor parents must be devastated. Sad thing he will be more remembered  for this than his Tour career. He was kind of an under the radar guy for me and maybe others. Not like his name is mentioned in likely winners of an event. I hope the network/ PGAT does a nice respectful piece on him. I'm out of the country so I can't view the event. I'm sure it's cast a dark cloud over this week's event. Two weeks now, two tragic stories. On a side note, I remember getting the annual suicide prevention classes every year in the Army. One thing a guy said was when you ask some one how they are doing, mean it. You never know when your words can make a positive difference. Well I'm rambling, just a horrible story. Take care all.

The  problem is  by not talking about  it keeps  it taboo. Hearing  what Murray himself said about depression he would  want it  talked about  openly so it  might  help someone else. Severe depression is an all consuming cancer.

I agree. This is one of those subjects that people are uncomfortable talking about. It's 2024 and it still feels stigmatized.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉.

      Long Iron

      By Micho ·

      speed blades don't have a 3iron that I know of. My 4 is already 20* . I love it as it is super straight. I went to golf Galaxy to try some hybrids and 2 iron my numbers and spin were bouncing all over the place. wasn't hitting good that day. I did hit the 4 ping 430 hybrid 215yds a  couple of times but never got consistency anywhere. It was all me mis hitting that day.The GAPR is something to think about and would like to try one sometime. in the meantime I had a 16* Adams Gold pro hybrid I was using. I took it out, choked up on it to hit it like an iron and hit it 185 into the wind and 230 with wind at my back. I am gonna ride with this awhile and see what I got. Looks promising from 1st outing.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By DaveP043 ·

      My home course is Stoneleigh GC in Round Hill VA.  The course would get murdered, from the back tees its only about 6800 yards, and there's really not room to stretch it out. There would effectively be no par-5s, and several of the par-4s would be reachable.  For contrast, local qualifying in my area is often held at Woodmont CC in Maryland, which played to over 7300 yards this year.  It took 134 (-8) to qualify for the US Open.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      If you like Taylormade, they have produced GAPR clubs for several years now. They are not-quite-hybrids... but close. They come in Lo, Mid and Hi varieties which vary in how much they look like an iron. The Lo is almost a chunky iron. The Hi looks very hybrid-esque. The Mid is somewhere in between.  Since they've made them for a while now and come out with new variations on them every year, you can probably get a slightly used one at a pretty good deal. They change the color and tweak them here and there, but they aren't that much different. If money is no object go get fitted for one that gets you your 200 yards consistently.  If the GAPR doesn't work for you Taylormade UDI and DHY might be more your cup of tea. These are slightly more iron-y than the GAPR's.  Incidentally Ping also makes a similar product theirs is called a crossover.  Basically, all the big brands have something like this. Just search out Utility Irons and you should get plenty of options.
