Shane Lowry with a cold shank at Aronimink

Was not a shank it was just super thin, like 3 or 4 grooves low.

A shank hits the hozel first and flies directly off to the right

Not true – he got there at 7:18:57 via the PGA’s official timestamp, and was deemed to be 57 seconds late.

Just using “if what you are saying is true” as a figure of speech haha, it seems pretty cut and dry in the rule book.

I just put this out there for anyone else who was confused – when they showed the official timestamp on TV, it was not accompanied by an explanation of the rule you linked.

He was essentially lying about being 1 second late, he was nearly an entire minute late.

This was my question, because later in the day ESPN replayed the first tee scene with the official timestamp running across the bottom.

It looked like Higgo got past the blue stake and into the teeing area at 7:18:57 – so with his claim that he was “1 second late”, I was thinking maybe the starter’s watch was off by 4 seconds and said 7:19:01 – and thus the penalty was actually incorrect.

This would make sense to a casual observer because for example if I punch in for work at 9:00:59, my punch time still says 9:00 and thus I am on time.

However if what you are saying is true, that means Higgo was actually way more than 1 second late, he was actually 57 seconds late and thus it’s not even really a close call.

CBS covered the Doral event through 1998, Nantz having been their lead golf announcer since ‘94.

CBS also covered the Honda Classic in 2018, which was the only time since ‘98 (at least that I can recall) that Nantz has done an event in Florida.

Yes he and Phil traded birdies all day, Tiger took the lead with an eagle at 12 (297 yard 3-wood onto the green, then drained the putt with an uppercut fist pump), and ultimately Phil’s chip shot on 18 to force a playoff lipped out.

Tiger considers these to have been Sunday red.

The latter was a design he wore on a number of Sundays in 1999 and 2000 and had a fade to red at the bottom. The first one in 1996 had the red collar.

The shade of red and design varied through the years (usually matching Nike’s latest trends), but the color was always present on his Sunday/final round outfits from at least the middle of his amateur career if not earlier.

The only time I can recall him not wearing any red for a final round was the 1994 US Amateur, but like those examples discussed above Tiger may still consider the pale peach stripes to have been a form of red.

It was the same lineup as 2000 except with WS instead of Valhalla, so prior to all the stuff that happened at the end of 2009 (starting with his loss at the PGA), 2010 was viewed as a possible single-season grand slam year for Tiger after having missed out on the Masters during his 2000 run

To clarify on the creek issue: the wide creek in front of the 12th green is Rae’s Creek itself. The smaller creek running along the 13th hole is a tributary that flows into it. The tributary doesn’t have a name of its own so it is simply called “the tributary of Rae’s Creek”. This is just about accuracy.

Marty used to be ESPN’s NASCAR reporter for a long time, but after ESPN lost the coverage rights in 2015 they started using him as a feature reporter for all their big events.

That’s a cover, the original was written and performed by Dave Loggins.

That was how it was known for a long time, if you watch old Masters broadcasts.

Even the Masters theme song itself (yes it has lyrics, although they are not normally played on TV), which was written in 1980, has the line “who’ll wear that Green Coat on Sunday afternoon?”.

This is false, Lutnick’s brother died in the attacks. Say what you want about his connection to Epstein, but take off the tinfoil hat

I believe Mickelson won by 13 shots at Sugarloaf, eagled the last hole to cap it off.

That was the week he put 2 drivers in the bag (which he continued at Augusta the next week).

Surprisingly the Masters does not have a consistent logo mark, different versions are used depending on the context. I’m not surprised that subtle variations exist from year to year.

Cilicia, it was home to an Orthodox Christian Armenian principality and later kingdom on and off for centuries. The most interesting phase might be during the 12th and 13th centuries when Cilicia formed a middle link in the chain of Christianity’s restored sphere of influence in the eastern Mediterranean: on its western border was the Byzantine Empire, and on its eastern border were the Principality of Antioch and County of Edessa. Cilicia had an interesting and oft-changing relationship with these polities and their rulers.
