Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

So stating facts is now immature?

Go ahead and watch the tournament.  It's the putting and scrambling that's winning

Lowry's approach not so good on that one either.  Yikes.

Stating facts isn't immature by any stretch of the imagination.

But that isn't what you're doing.

Ugh, what is with Dustin's distance control on his wedges today?  His approach to the 4th also wasn't that great.

Third (or fourth??) times a charm?!?? ;)

I love the slow motion divots flying after a shot. DJ's looked like a asteroid floating away.

So what is the difference between being called Ireland for god knows how long and now its the republic?

Expand  

Some people use "Ireland" for both "Northern Ireland" and the "Republic of Ireland."  They're different entities, and the prefix can disambiguate them.

Oy, Landry... short par putt, now a longer bogey putt. :-(

... and Dustin doesn't capitalize. :-(

Also there are odd things that combine both countries. For example, the Ireland rugby team contains players from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. However, only Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain, so actually, Northern Irish athletes can choose which they represent at the Olympics. All very confusing, admittedly!

      Would You Rather…?

      Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.

      Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.

      Would You Rather…?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.

      Would You Rather…?

      By dennyjones ·

      Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite.
