Are you speaking of Peter JACOBSON, the actor? If so, I find him delightful, and think he has a good range of skills, but comedy is probably the weakest. If you're speaking of Peter Jacobsen, the golfer, I find him a little troubled. I'm sure he's still haunted about what happened at the Lufthansa German Open in 1985, buy that's food for another thread. Funny? He has some moments.

Ha, good one... You and Jacobson should take your acts on the road...

I don't find him particularly objectionable, but I also don't find him funny.

The problem for Jacobsen/Feherty/McCord is that professional golf is just not funny.  I mean can you think of one golfer ever that is a funny guy?  Maybe Lee Trevino.  But he was bitter/funny, not ha ha funny.  Professional golf is just too damn serious.

The "funniest" thing that we see all year is Bill Murray wearing a stupid hat or the caddy races at the 16th hole of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Hillarious! Not exactly Richard Pryor.

The funniest stuff happens about 10 levels below professional golf.  My round has more humor in 9 holes than i see all year on the tour.

well, I think Woody Austin was funny as hell! I loved watching his bizarre on course behavior! reminds me of some of my wacky stuff I have done. He seems funny too. Not a boring, robot like...Kutchner, Duffner and many others.

Jacobsen is a character.  One of the years that I marshaled the 17th hole during the International at Castle Pines, Peter missed the cut, but stayed for the weekend.  He spent Saturday and Sunday in one of the corporate boxes in back of the 17th green, getting a bit lubricated and talking to and harassing the players as they walked from the green to the 18th tee, and kidding around with the fans.  He was a one man floor show, and everyone seemed to get a kick out of it, including the players who were the targets of his ribbing.  I got the feeling that he just likes people and the whole Tour scene, regardless of whether or not he's playing or how well he's playing.

some golfers are funny to look at  --- but golfers do tend to take themselves very seriously, even fans.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
