This week's Thrash Talk deals with Colin Montgomerie's career battle with winning on United States soil and also major championships. Here are a few questions to get your interested, but be sure to read Thrash Talk in the morning.

1. Is Monty the best golfer ever to have never won a major?

2. Will Monty ever win on United States soil?

3. Will Monty end up in the Hall of Fame?

Alright, there ya go. That should get you all pumped up for some Colin Montgomerie discussion.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

1. Not even close.

2. Not likely now. His best chance was yesterday.

3. Can't really think of a reason why he should.

Monty seems like a really personable guy who is normally more charitable to us yanks then we often are to him. Doesn't deserve most of the crap he's been given, but as a golfer he is simply very, very, good. Flashes of brilliance don't get you into the HOF.

1. Is Monty the best golfer ever to have never won a major?

No. Sergio Garcia, Adam Scott, and a LOT of other people top Monty. Kenny Perry could beat Monty eight times out of ten.

2. Will Monty ever win on United States soil?

Nope. Unless you count the Ryder Cup, in which case he already has. But as an individual? No, he's washed up. This year has been a final day in the sun.

3. Will Monty end up in the Hall of Fame?

No, and I already voted that way

in the poll . We do have polls here, Cody.

Pretty hard to pick.

Yet Monty has won in Europe so many times......... Seven Time Order of Merit Champion says a-lot.

I think if he'd have done a full US season, he'd have atleast won one event. Plus, he's got a darn sexy swing.

    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
    • I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
