You should be proud regardless. You just used all three forms of the word "to" in a single sentence, and all properly.

Listen, fall back, take several seats because I can take you to school on this issue, so don't push your luck. Taking what I said as an insult to "your" country shows a certain level of ignorance on i

Ugh...and some people want to call this a major?

Don't forget the names of people like Andy North, Steve Jones, Lucas Glover, Todd Hamilton, Ben Curtis, Shaun Micheel, Rich Beem, Trevor Immelman, to name a few.

And those aren't just names on the leaderboard of all of the other majors in years past ... those are all winners .  Don't lose perspective and put those tournaments up on a pedestal as if they are always star-studded events.

Are you saying that the likes of:

Na, Grace, Hearn, Merritt and Stroud don't move the needle for you??

Na is the most interesting guy in this list.  Others are shrouded in mystery, has no merit, can't earn a win even if he tried for the grace of god.    (Sorry)

Do we need a separate thread to reminisce about how great Tiger used to be?

Then we can keep all this crap out of the weekly tournament threads.

BTW - the next major that Tiger wins will be like Jacks win at Augusta in '86, all about nostalgia and how great things used to be.

Now back to The Players Championship - shaping up to be a great weekend.

Local player from mid-michigan, Brian Stuard won't be playing on the weekend as he put 3 into the water on the back 9 today.

I wonder which player sent the most into the drink over Thur/Fri. Someone hit 2 into it on 17 yesterday.

Players play, tough players win!

I stated in the other thread that the Players does have a nice champions list (despite Perks and a couple others) and probably will continue to after this year as I expect Rory to eventually charge ahead and take this thing. But in the past (and so far this year), it doesn't create the greatest leaderboards. What we have this year is pretty common of the Players many years. The one thing I will say for the other majors is despite getting a no-name here or there, the last few years they've had a lot of impressive leaderboards. I know the streak is overdue to come to an end, but over the last few years if you look back at all 4 majors, it's been nothing but big names garnered at the top.

Golf is hard.

I like Na, he's a solid player, the board may look very different come Sunday but I can see him hanging around.

Love the Phil quote. Sad he missed the cut.

I will say this though ... even though I think the guys on TGC and the guy who started the thread here made great points justifying it ... I'm finding that yesterday and today, my interest in watching is fairly low.  Not totally sure why ... but I guess I don't mind it not being a major if I don't even really care that much about it. ;)

Rickie Fowler, bruh.

Every friggin' time I think he's on a roll...he puts one in the drink.

F*ck it, if Rory doesn't win, I want it to be Jerry Kelly.

That second shot, if going for it in two, on the 16th, is SCARY. (The shot that Rickie just dunked.)

Imagine if Rory were to win this. That would make him the Open Champion, WGC-Bridgestone champion, PGA Champion, World Match Play champion and Players champion. Now I know he's no Tiger Woods, but at the same time...damn..... that would be mighty impressive.

      Day 2: did my Evolver drill in the mirror.  No club, just did the motion. And this time I am confident I am doing it correctly.

      Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.

      Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.

      I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.
