  1. How the new PGA Tour-Saudi PIF deal ensures Tour will maintain control The PGA Tour's planned deal with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund has safeguards for the Tour to keep control. Here's a closer look.
  2. Senate hearing in about a month. PGA Tour officials to testify before Senate subcommittee The proposed plan to merge the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf sent shockwaves across the golf world earlier this month. No changes to RC according to Luke Donald. LIV Golf stars told "nothing has changed" with Ryder Cup after PGA Tour merger - Mirror Online European captain Luke Donald has provide an update of player eligibility on the back of the proposed merger between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and LIV Golf https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/06/22/pga-tour-nonprofit-saudi-liv/
  3. PGA Tour, LIV dismissed lawsuits, ending legal battle - The Washington Post The formal end of golf's costly legal battle is a major step toward the proposed new partnership. Saudi-backed LIV Golf, PGA Tour file joint motion to dismiss lawsuits | AP News The PGA Tour and Saudi-backed LIV Golf are asking a federal court to dismiss their antitrust legal action against one another. The motion to dismiss was filed late Friday. This was not a surprise. The PGA Tour and...
  4. What happens if this agreement falls apart? LIV goes on, PGAT runs out of money? Then what.
  5. This article is from last week, but provides a backgrounder on Yasir Al-Rumayyan. It's a gift link, so you don't need to be subbed to WaPo to read it. Below it is an interview if you want to get a feel for him in person. Yasir Al-Rumayyan poised to be king of golf under PGA Tour-LIV deal - The Washington Post The PGA Tour’s Saudi disrupter loves the game and is fiercely loyal to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. I'm trying to draw parallels to the Newcastle United purchase, not as familiar with football. That was like a half a billion dollar deal not sure exactly how much and Boris Johnson's cabinet whisked that through A Senator Explains Why He Is Now Using All the Powers He Has to Investigate Golf “We have the power to subpoena; I see no reason why we wouldn’t use it if they just stonewall us.” I took a gander at Golfwrx to see what its members had to say, surprisingly few posts. Maybe they're more like, meh.
  6. Barbarians - Birdie. Funnier than I expected. Better watched without knowing anything going in. And in a theater. Which makes it hard to say anything about it other than worst Airbnb ever. Tár - Birdie. If you don't follow classical music, the first hour is gonna bore you. Unless you're a big Cate Blanchett fan. Reviews will say it's about cancel culture. Other reviews will say it's not about cancel culture. Kind of both. Tries to have it both ways. Decision to Leave - Eagle. Shades of Hitchcock, Vertigo, namely. With a modern smartphone smartwatch virtual spin, a lot happens and you'll be trying to catch up.
  7. You just can't change that bit of the swing just before and after contact not thinking about the rest of the swing. Sounds counterintuitive. Another way of saying it's all about impact. I'm only 4:30 in though, you're asking me to devote 20 minutes to a video? Come on? I'm not made of time. Editing!
  8. The analysis is from a pro Andrea Zanardelli, not familiar with him, but his resume is a long list of work with many names you'd be familiar with. There's a lot here. You'd think with all the flex lead wrist grips at A4 you see on social media these days, that would dominate, but it's the opposite. That's the first thing I noticed. How Tour Players Grip the Club - HackMotion How do the best golfers really grip the club and move their hands? by Andrea Zanardelli PGA Teaching Professional The position of the hands...
  9. I’ve only been watching instruction videos on YouTube and rarely if that but if I do, AMG, Shauheen Nakhjavani, and Milo Lines. These days it’s mostly Instagram.
  10. It sounds familiar, amazingly I haven't heard it enough times obviously.
  11. I think it's gotten to the point where someone with a lot of athletic and technical IQ who needs to understand why things happen, understanding of the golf swing and movement and all that has accommodated more and more of said golfers and that's good. But instructors can still use all the reams of knowledge acquired especially recently, to keep it just simple enough but not reductive to help those who don't need to know every single detail. What are you trying to get accomplished in an hour though - it's just changing movement patterns, not teaching someone organic chemistry.
  12. Was just thinking about sports terms. There's nothing like football's clean sheet for tennis, obviously if would be impossible pretty much to not let your opponent score, although there is the bagel term for winning 6 love. I guess for golf it would be a bogey free round, not letting the golf course, "score"on you, just a stream of conscious thought why there isn't a more succinct term for a bogey free round which really fits the term, clean sheet. Yes, I'm rambling.
  13. Is there sort of precedence in rulings like in law? Since this ruling happened, does it influence what future ruling officials do or is it more a case by case individual thing? So let's say the same exact thing happens in the next Korn Ferry tour event. Pretty much depends on who the official is?
  14. The way he said "My version?".
  15. I quit Star Wars after that last movie, it was so bad. How many seasons of Star Wars tv shows have been made since, 5? Andor got me back watching Star Wars again, probably because it's the least Star Wars-y of all the new content that's been made. Veteran stage actors, practical effects, better writing, Nicholas Britell scoring. The first three episodes were good.
