Christ, I played over 30 rounds and I live in the freakin' arctic.

Of course I play a fair amount of night golf too.

Night putting?  Putting at night?  With the 15 year old daughter of the Dean?

Alright, here we go..... Wow, what a day!  I was so stoked for the day, that over the last couple of days I've had to remind myself that things like this seldom really live up to the hopes and

I just got a call from GolfNow.  I was their top booker in the Orlando area this past year (it helps to book for a small group of nuts just like us) and they asked me if, as a reward, I'd be available

Alright, sorry for the delay, my daughter's birthday was this past weekend and I was tied up.  I'll see if I can't fill in some of the fun stuff now...... Graeme was a lot of fun to play with.

That's awesome, congrats.  You might be nervous on the first tee but I'm sure you'll settle down and have a good round.  Make sure you give us plenty of details on how it goes.

This. That's awesome! I want to check out Nona Blue some day. He seems like a really nice guy.

Watching Graeme play this weekend has been the most exciting golf BY FAR this year. Can he do it again today??? It would make my entire year if he won the whole damn thing!

It was a great match. Did anyone catch the expression G Mac displayed at the conclusion?

He appeared emotionally drained from grinding to stay in the match and then to become victorious.

That's why Match Play is such a great game !!!

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      By iacas ·

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
