I just listened. He said "104 last time right?" Meaning his wedge shot after he laid up on the playoff hole.

Yep. Was just about to post that. I was able to replay it on the BL website. Good call. Glad that’s resolved...lol.

So… controversy avoided for Joey.

Because it's entertainment. When I go to see a movie, "it doesn't matter in the end…" except that I'm entertained for about two hours.

my point is that this match was just dumb to begin with especially it being paper view. I mean this wasn't like a heavyweight fight.

Ok. Then maybe you don’t need to bother posting on something you feel was a waste of time. Yeah?

For you.

Others felt differently. Look at Twitter - plenty of people were watching #TheMatch.

Also… uhhhhhh…

🤦‍♂️

So was he.

Dude, you're new, and you're throwing shade.

He has a point: you felt it was a waste of time, and not worth $20 for five hours of entertainment, but you're on here wasting your time commenting on it.

Your two cents was spent already. We get it. You didn’t like it.

It was $20. I’ve had a lot worse things occur having spent $20.

For some reason I paid $24.99 with WOW here in Ohio.

I know it's not. But the point is that why you would you pay anything for something that doesn't matter in the end? Unless you're doing it for charity. 

If you don't care, then why are you posting in this thread? I enjoyed it. It wasn't the Masters or US Open, but it was fun to watch and relaxing on a cold Friday afternoon.

Overheard this but wasn't watching. I remember during one Open Championship, Woods teed it up a little higher on a par 3 and flagged it. I believe it was a 9 iron.

Does he change tee height based on the shot he wants to hit or is it always this high?

[yankee777]

Did they actually pay Natalie Gulbis?  Talk about obvious token eye candy.

Well I watched and as I expected, it was entertaining.  Worth the $20 in my opinion.  I was a little disappointed in that neither played as well as they are capable of but, a $9M purse is a lot of pressure, even if it isn't your $9M.

Who?  The credit card company or the socialists.
