Ha ha ha ha. ROTFL. There is discord in everything talked about on Twitter. If there were people talking about making 18th century thimbles, they would be making death threats at each other. That is the nature of discourse, or lack of it, today. Suck it up Chamblee.

I’m thinking that golf should ban Twitter, not because it is interfering with the practice of the game but because it is interfering with the civility of it. Twitter may have originally been a burst of inconsequential information but it has turned into 140 characters of kindling, burning civility to a fine crisp. I can understand the discord involving politics, religion and war but what is there to argue about in golf, I mean besides the fact I am still paid to talk about it for a living?

Maybe he could try forming better opinions, taking more care with his own words, and being less focused on contrarianism solely for the sake of contrarianism. :dance:

LOL - Hey Brandel if twitter bothers you so much all you have to do is turn it off & not participate or view.

Twitter needs a 6 hour delay then.

Twitter is like any medium of communication. When used properly, it can be an amazing tool.

Has anyone ever tweeted Brandel on why he didn't last that long on tour?

Brandel only gets the "twit" part.

He brags he has 20k blocked. I hate guys like that who talk smack but can't handle any themselves.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

      By iacas ·

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      Wordle Daily Puzzle

      By p1n9183 ·

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
