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.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
