A couple quick thoughts/questions..........

First.....was Thursday/Friday televised?  I looked yesterday at the GC lineup and saw only the seniors tourney....if GC wasn't televising, who did?

Second......I think big frenchy moves the needle a bit, no?

Question.........Scottish Open or John Deere?......my answer is both, but that is a cop out

It might just be me, but does anyone else find themselves actively rooting against Bryson DeChambeau?  :whistle:

Roger....I figured it had to be on GC and was floored when I could not find a replay last night...

Yes, I do.  I'm not usually a passionate person but I really hate this guy and can't bring myself to watch/listen to this event or read golf websites because he'll be there. And that goes for future tournaments as well.

I hate the whole "golfing scientist" BS.  He didn't name himself that, but he actively embraced it.  He is not a scientist.  He's a college drop out with a few years of under graduate science courses.

Hard not to root for him after that finish.

Golf Scientist has it in the bag now. No need to hit balks. You could tell Rodgers was leaking oil behind the sunglasses.

Congrats to Bryson...I know some don't like his methods or attitude but you can't deny that he deserved it with that finish.  He's played well his last few tournaments so this wasn't a total shock.

Curious to see what this brings down the stretch...

Fairways and Greens.

No he didn't.

In 1935, a rabbi in Princeton showed him a clipping of the Ripley's column with the headline "Greatest living mathematician failed in mathematics." Einstein laughed. "I never failed in mathematics," he replied, correctly. "Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus." In primary school, he was at the top of his class and "far above the school requirements" in math. By age 12, his sister recalled, "he already had a predilection for solving complicated problems in applied arithmetic," and he decided to see if he could jump ahead by learning geometry and algebra on his own. His parents bought him the textbooks in advance so that he could master them over summer vacation. Not only did he learn the proofs in the books, he also tackled the new theories by trying to prove them on his own. He even came up on his own with a way to prove the Pythagorean theory.

270 yard 3-wood out of the rough onto the green to put for eagle isn't too shabby even for a scientist.

He didn't graduate from college as you've noted. He is not a scientist or physicist as some have eluded. That title goes to folks who've put in the work.

As a follower (and sometimes critic) of the OWGR - I was somewhat surprized to see that DeChambeau rose up to 81st in this weeks OWGR, the amazing part is that he has only earned points in 19 events. If you go to a players owgr page they list the top 20 events in which they have earned points for their career. And for Byson his 20th best owgr event is his 2017 US Open missed cut.

Players play, tough players win!

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
