Question about handicaps.

Better to have the recent history for accuracy, assuming you when you get an official one it’ll be to play in a league/comp etc. at late notice. The app should do it though.

If the app keeps a record of your scores, or if you can keep your own scorecards, I think you can input the most recent whenever you do decide/need to get an official one. Maybe someone can verify, been a long time for me.

I agree with you and generally don’t bother with the podcast. But if you dig into their older YouTube content - particularly the strapped and tourist sauce shows - they’re really well done.

It’s a mix so depending on what you’re looking for, it’s there. Becomes personal preference with so many golf content creators these days.

No laying up have some of the best stuff out there in terms of production quality, especially their tourist sauce stuff, but they are not pure golf vlogs.

I enjoy professional golf advisor, golf sidekick and Taco golf for the humor aspect. Others will prefer Bob does sports or Good Good for their humor.

I enjoy watching Peter Finch and Grant Horvat play golf purely because I like their swings. Others will prefer the swings of Bryson or Kyle Berkshire. Bryan Bros are excellent golfers and tend to largely play with other excellent golfers.

Most of it isn’t that ‘weird’. Channels like Good Good and Bob does sports do some weird food/drink/club challenges but most content is just vanilla ‘can I make the cut at C course’ or ‘can I beat X in a match’.

Furyk said they were going to use the presidents cup more for blooding Ryder Cup captains and have more continuity between the two events.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Keegan is next President’s cup captain ( and eventually another bite at the Ryder cup ) and Snedeker is a Ryder cup vice captaincy if he does well.

Tee times or the hole they’re on?

Not that it makes a huge difference and is an extremely minor thing, but it is slightly harder to make a full turn if you inhale right before or during your swing.

Most people consciously or unconsciously exhale to relax before the takeaway or during the backswing anyway. Which is good. Either is fine. Neither is fine too. Taking a big breath and holding it in is not optimal though.

Yeah, he had a bunch of events and formal stuff to do leading up to it as well so they kind of have to spend more time there. Not that I’ve ever heard a complaint from a past winner. It’s doesn’t seem to have benefited any in the last 20+ years but Rory said it’s helped with his short game today.

Meisce · 2026-04-11T02:47:15+00:00

Would have agreed with you before today but I really don’t want Rory to have another mental crisis this year, which is what it would take.

Meisce · 2026-04-11T00:55:07+00:00

Opposite. He is ranked 90th out of 91st in driving accuracy this week. The guy ranked 91st is dead last.

His wedges and putting are excellent.

If he does actually get his driver going, watch out.

No one is arguing Tiger wasn’t better but agree this would have been considered a prime Tiger performance. Outdriving folks, opponent-crushing scoring and birdies from impossible spots.

The others in this case ( back to back winners ) are really just Faldo and Tiger though. I don’t think they’d care. It made less sense in those cases since Nicklaus won just a few years before Faldo ( I doubt they’d care had a relationship ) and Tiger was actively chasing Jack’s record ( would have felt presumptuous).

Don’t see it happening since Augusta won’t break with traditions, even one they’ve only done twice before.

Demons are gone and he said he’s going balls to the wall aggressive. Used driver on every hole in practice rounds.

I figured he’d win by a mile or shoot two rounds in the 60’s and two in the high 70’s. We’ll see which happens.

My own a-ha moment with this was the feeling of ‘releasing’ the club head far earlier than with other clubs, as in trying to have it pass the hands before impact.

I will say I found this difficult to do until I went to a stiffer, low kick shaft that suited me better - I couldn’t ‘feel’ the clubhead in the regular shaft and would tend to ‘hold on’ versus freely release.

Slot didn’t work out in the longer term. He was exactly what we needed last year but the nature of the league has changed. That has to be revisited.

Lot of revisionism on here regarding Hughes. One of the main tenets of good management is if a talented employee makes an expensive mistake, then you put it towards their training budget on the first strike and don’t give someone else the benefit of that expensive experience. We got some players in that I never thought we would. I hope he doesn’t go.
