Anyone catch Nick Faldo drop the S-bomb on the Congressional telecast today.

I was on my laptop half watching and heard it. "Huh?"

I grabbed the Tivo controller and confirmed I heard it right. None of the other commentators acknowledged it.

He later apologized using "a word he shouldn't have". Nobody commented on that either.

All I have to say is, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?!?!

So today is Thursday, weren't the kids in school. And if they weren't, they must have been hardcore young golfers to have been watching. If that's the case I'm sure they have heard much worse on the course. I KNOW they hear and say worse in school. I love when Tiger drops the GD bomb on TV! But only because it shows a passion for the game.

Hilarious! i thought i heard that too, but I was only half-listening. After the fact I thought I misheard him and he was saying something different.

The 's-word' is allowed on TV as the FCC considers a random use of it a 'fleeting expletive'.

Yeah, I heard it. It sounded like he caught himself in the middle of the word, but it was too late.

He also apologized later in the telecast. Regrettable, but likely not even in the top 5 worst things the kids heard today. EDIT: My favorite golfer's vocalization so far this season came from Morgan Pressel. She hit a so-so shot and she screamed out "good- NESS GRA-cious". It made me laugh out loud. Not "f---" or "s---". Not "crap" or "dammit". Not even "poop". But "goodness gracious" . It made more of an impact than any expletive could have. I guess because it was such a strong contrast to what most players (ahem...Cristie Kerr) scream out. Dirty words don't bother me at all, but "goodness gracious" just seemed . . . classy . Well done Morgan.

What planet/country you from Stacy? It is the middle of the summer. Kids are out.

Sorry, if you couldn't tell but tongue was firmly planted in cheek . As the late, great George Carlin said, "F*** the children. 'He didn't just say F*** the children, did he?' Yes I did! F*** the children!"

Good for faldo.. keepin us on our toes..

But i must ask, who decided that the s word was bad word to say? what differs it from saying, "crap"?



I have no issues with players saying it.. if they are into it enough to clurt stuff out..thats their right.

adn who can honestly say that when speaking publically or to a superior, you havent said something you shouldnt have?

Yeah my bad, I don't have kids so I don't keep up with that....lol. And I'm right with you with the tongue in cheek. I cuss like a sailor on the course. And love it when the old codgers at my course do too. I think it's cause their wives won't let them cuss at home.

Well, like I said, stuff like that doesn't bother me. But the reason it matters is because talking

is his job. It's sorta like the fry cook at Micky D's not washing his hands after using the can one time. It's probably not gonna hurt anyone, but it just ain't right.

For you Big Break watchers I couldn't help laugh out loud when the young girl (name escapes me) would say, "Oh sugar!"

She's living on the edge, that one.

I can't remember the exact sentence, but I do remember it was right after DJ Trahan hit an approach shot that he was visibly upset about. Flipped his club at his bag and made his caddy flinch. Then the ball lands within 15 ft.

Faldo and the others couldn't believe he was upset and Faldo let it slip out. Edit: Something like, "He shouldn't worry about that shit" or "You shouldn't be bothered by shit." Damn, I'm going to hell...

      Tommy Fleetwood is Overrated

      He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area.

      Course Ratings and Slope, Difficulty, and Hole Stroke Index

      By iacas · Posted

      That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂
