The post with the Phil gambling statistics where is shows he once lost $143K on one day's MLB bets. Let's just say that isn't the total picture. He's lost 2-3 million in one weekend more than once.

Added a score from 5/27. Shot 88 and prediction is 85. This is a par 71 course.

Annual for me in Maryland.

I aspire to post as many rounds as DavePo43 and SJDuffers. 🙂

Congratulations !!!💥

I think this is really in the Pet Peeves category, but those threads are pretty old so I'll post it here. The category is Come on man!!! People at the turn who walk into the grill room at the club and order a cheeseburger. Come on man!

The picture incident happened this year and it was before either of them joined the LIV Tour. Could be lots of reasons for PP not to go into the details. One of them would be that PM could have easily deleted the evidence, and it would have been a he said she said deal at the end of the day.

The only thing true in the above is there was a picture. There was no practice round, Unless PP's practice round was when he left the room to go to the bathroom. There was no flirting on Ashley's Perez's part and what PM did (the picture) is gross and unforgivable. I can't fault PP for his feelings about PM. PM is just a sick, gross, lying jerk who hides behind that stupid smile. The golf media has been giving him a pass for years. Based on what I know, the caddie story is complete BS. BTW, you're instincts about not listening to the Pull Hook Golf podcast are spot on. Besides the two host just speculating and passing BS gossip as if they have some inside info, the sound quality is terrible. I couldn't listen to it for more than a few minutes.

PP got $7M for signing with LIV. 50% up front and then the rest when he showed up for his first LIV tournament.

The tipping started around or after the Civil War story is filled with holes. Tipping was occurring in the US as early as 1840, and unrelated to slavery. At least five southern states banned tipping at one time, but it was later ruled unconstitutional. As for tip sharing, that is standard practice in the restaurant industry. In some restaurants all tips are pooled, while at others the servers are responsible for paying out a percentage of their tips to the table bussers and runners who assist them. That is only right and fair IMO.

I have partial knee replacements in each knee in 2019. My game is just as good if not better than before the surgeries. I really can’t feel or tell any difference in playing other than the knee pain all gone. It was pretty bad before the replacements. Glad I did it.

Perez managed to keep his PGA Tour card for 25 straight years. Never lost it. He also won three times, most recently in 2017. Before leaving for LIV he was on track to keep his card for another year. He also already had his Champions Tour exemption earned. So it seems he was competitive. To be fair he wasn’t getting the LIV deal without his buddy DJ, but that has paid off quite well To the tune of $13M+ so far. He probably ain’t missing the PGA Tour.

Well in Sammy's defense he was Jewish, and he was drunk. 😆

Perez signed a four year contract. He received $5M up front and the other $5M when he played in the Oregon tournament. I can't imagine the contract would allow them to drop a player and clawback any of the money already paid. The LIV Tour what maybe 20 or so names so far? They fill up the rest of the field with basically no name golfers. So it looks like they have plenty of room to sign more PGA Tour players. Say what you will about Perez, but he is the most honest about why he signed. He already has more money in less than a month on the LIV Tour than he was likely to earn in four more years (when he turns 50) on the PGA Tour. He has never lost his tour card and has had to grind it out the past few years. Why shouldn't he do something that secures the future for him and his family? I know, the sports washing, but big money would tempt many people.

Are there any sports books taking bets on the pro-ams?

British Open champion Smith and Ryder Cup captain Stenson to join LIV Golf, reports say British Open champion Smith and Ryder Cup captain Stenson to join LIV Golf, reports say Newly-crowned British Open champion Cameron Smith reacted angrily when asked if he was on the verge of joining the highly-lucrative LIV Golf Invitational Series but reports suggest the Australian is among many...

I don't think any of the following has been previously mentioned: Pat Perez received $5M up front and then the other $5M when he played in the Pumpkin Ridge tournament. I assume the other players have similar deals. I originally heard it was paid out over three years The expenses for the caddies are covered. All expenses. So the caddies are also very happy The LIV Tour has a private 777 aircraft with all first class seating they use to transport the players( and wives and caddies) as needed. For example, they used it to get them to Ireland (I think it was Ireland) this week https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1545438581019316225?s=20&t=po7zvcTttatiTFvX8kPH-Q Perez got offered the LIV deal because of DJ. he and DJ are good friends and eat together with DJ's private chef a couple of times a week The LIV website sucks. and this includes the Leaderboard and information on it, not shot by shot info for example, it's just bad

One needs to make sure they are hitting the flag stick and not something behind it. My club uses flag sticks with reflectors, but not all do that. I remember on some course I played in CA the only yardage markers between the tee and the green were a specific type of small tree or palm tree that was the 150 marker. Nothing else. I got pretty good at eye balling distances and still am today. Still use my laser range finder though.

Well he is from Clovis. 😜

I've played in fivesomes at my brother's club (Indio, CA) and it is expected that you keep up with the group ahead. I don't recall that being a problem as we all played fairly fast. Seemed like it was standard practice for them. Nearly 100% sure we finished in less than four (4) hours. Probably more like 3.5.

Reading through this thread makes me glad I belong to a private club. But back in my muni days I can't say I ever encountered anything like the OP. Maybe people in Baltimore are just more polite. 🙂

It would not surprise me if the commissioner also had concerns that a player might go after a fan or day if the heckling continued to be allowed, ala “Malice In The Palace”. Personally I am tired of the jerks yelling after every shot. Their real goal is to hear themselves on TV. They don’t care about the player, or probably even golf.

Two weeks and a few days post surgery. Doc had to graft tendon as mine was in pretty bad shape. Had my arm in a splint @90 degrees and this was removed today. Replaced with a range of motion brace for probably six weeks. Currently set to let me flex to 90 degrees and extend to 30 degrees. No lifting or carrying anything with the affected arm (my right) for at least a couple of months. And then the worst part - no golf for six months. I am hoping for a very mild winter here in Maryland. Unseasonably warm. Either that or I will go live with my brother in La Quinta. 🙃

Not really, but I had been feeling some minor pain in the area for a week or so. Ortho said it was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back. It was a good shot though. About 75 yards and I put it about 5 feet from the hole. 😀
