Of course not. He's currently in prison.

Colored Golf Balls

F. None of the above. I play yellow in the winter—easier to see on the fairway that time of year. Switch to white when the fairways green up in the spring. Switch back to yellow when fairway color fades in the fall. -
Nope. You’d be an employee. Or contracted agent, or something like that.

Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography… by Alan Shipnuck
Missouri Swede replied to iacas's topic in Reading Room
I haven't read the book and don't intend to. But one thing I do recall from the Feherty show interview with Phil, is that Phil repeatedly would say "that's just the way I roll." (So much that I found it annoying and still remember it.) What you wrote sounds similar. -
I don't know. Seemed to work in Breaking Bad.

PGA Tour events usually have some charity associated. Any such affiliations with the upcoming LIV events?
-
If they resign from the PGA Tour, as Na is doing, wouldn't that prevent disciplining action?

Angel Cabrera is still in prison (for assault, among other things) as far as I know, but looks like his Masters, US Open and Greenbrier wins are still listed as wins. Jim Thorpe went to prison for tax crimes, but still has his wins listed. So at least for US majors and for PGA Tour wins, looks like felony convictions aren't enough for retroactive loss of the win.

Everything.

It's my understanding that the events will be broadcast on YouTube. Do we skip watching it, so as to not support it?

Insane Hole Location in Iowa Girls Championship

Or better, do what he should have considered doing: unplayable lie. Replace ball at point of last stroke, and get a chance at the putt again. Maybe would have helped the first putt in the video the most. -
Birdied the 7th hole yesterday evening. Repeat for me this year.

Yes, it needs to be in tournament mode. This question came up on the Facebook user group a year ago. I didn’t think it was a difficult question, but I emailed USGA about it. They replied that use of a device that provides the information of the type in caddie mode is not permissible under the RoG and renders the score unacceptable for handicap posting purposes.

Interesting how we take somethings for granted. I imagine that at some time in the past, being able to visually estimate your distance was considered part of the skill of playing.

7th hole. 9 of 18. Also birdied 17, but that’s a repeat for this year.

Umm ... good riddance, don't let the door hit you on the way out?

What Is the Deal With Courses Going Cart Only?
Missouri Swede replied to Quack's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
It seems odd that a course could prohibit the usual practice for the PGA tour, where walking is expected. I know that exceptions have been made (Casey Martin, John Daly), but the norm has been that they walk. I even found a thread here mentioning that tour pros "understand how integral walking is to the game." (However, I think the context there was "the game" being professional competition.) Still, it's considered important enough to golf that it went to the Supreme Court. I gave up another outdoor sport several years ago, and golf is now my main source of regular outdoor exercise. I'll rent a cart for a few circumstances: (1) weather makes it a safety issue (heat/humidity, possible threatening weather that might pop up), (2) the first time I play a new-to-me course, or (3) the course is such that walking is almost out of reach. (I recall one course where there was a 10-minute-ish cart drive between different parts of the course.) But for my home course, I'll almost always walk. If I couldn't walk my home course, I might give up golf. But my perspective on that might change as I age. Anther benefit came to mind as I played yesterday evening. I don't have to check a cart in at the end of the round. The clubhouse can lock up and close when it's just a few of us walkers finishing up the day at sunset/twilight. That doesn't help the course finances at all, of course. The way most cart-riders use their carts, I also disagree. I'm almost always easily keeping up (and waiting on) cart-users ahead of me. (I know that there are those on TST who know how to properly use them and could leave me in the dust.) -
12th hole. 8 of 18

A helpful video that summarizes what's going through my mind on my downswing:

Playing hooky from work for a couple of hours this morning. Open the browser on my living room tv to the masters livestream, select featured groups, play. Big screen, the tech is working, coffee. Nice. ☕ ⛳
