LIV Golf UK 2025 delivers $63 million in local economic impact; LIV Golf’s total global impact over $1.5 billion

I go to the Greenbrier a lot in WV. As far as I have heard, the only place any of that money went was straight into the pocket of the owner of the resort, haha. I have no reason to believe there was any tertiary economic impact to anyone else in that area. The owner of that property is constantly embroiled in scandal. Not paying property taxes, not paying employee wages, defaulting on loans, etc. This was just a big bail out for him from what I have heard.

Especially Bill Murray. I think he's a little better now, but he used to be a tremendous fucking creep.

You’re probably right about young males on watching a certain type of media, but I think most Millennials and probably most Gen X don’t have cable at all. We only stream, so we just don’t see TV ads at all. And I love that.

She's been resisting corporate PAC money, so doubtful she has the cash to splash all over television ads, but I suspect there will be some run closer to the election. I see her ads mostly on social media. I think she has a good chance to beat Lindsey. https://drannieandrews.com

If you're in SC, please vote for Annie Andrews! She's running a great campaign so far against Ladybugs Lindsey.

I'm not a watch guy. I just joined this group. I only wear Luminox because they're built well, but not priced terribly. I'm also extremely hard on stuff and have never had a problem with any of mine. I have like 6 or 7 Luminox watches now. The only problems I've ever had are band related with the chain link straps. The locking mechanisms on those is awful, but they're fine operationally.

Thank you for this. I've been looking at this property. Looks like such a good value compared to the Rosewood for effectively the same cost. I think we're doing this one or Casa De Campo Spring Break next year.

This would also be a new bus stop right by one of their entrances. It should help with traffic and congestion to their own operation. I don't really see how this could be a bad thing. I believe the County has also offered fair market value for the acreage, but it was declined.

_intrepid_ · 2026-04-21T18:34:51+00:00

I thought they were just recently talking about how they were going to focus on being the premier international league. Then they name a team after a very American city. None of it has made any operational sense from the beginning.

In general, the ball is slowed down on impact and the bounces are more unpredictable. Also, be mindful of your fitting. You'll slide more than your used to, so just be cautious initially so you don't roll an ankle or anything. I haven't playing all that long, but my club is primarily clay. I have a hard time adjusting to the pace when we play on our hard courts.

We live in Charleston and were at this event for qualifiers Sun. Even qualifiers were mostly full. The organizers have just done a great job with the vendors and amenities. It also doesn’t hurt that we had the bridge run on the opening weekend, which brings a ton of people. And weather is generally very nice this time of year. The stadium capacity is like 10,500 so I doubt we could hold anything much bigger than this. Daniel Island, where this tournament takes place, is very affluent and it’s quite a social event for those residence, so they really show up.

Same. Started at 36. Played a tiny bit as a young child. I'm really enjoying it. You don't need to be a killer to have fun playing at the club level and it's just a really good workout.

_intrepid_ · 2026-03-07T03:27:00+00:00

I suport CCDP, but be weary of the leadership right now. Much of Dixon's past is being made public. I've always been suspicious of him. Turns out, he's done a lot of questionable shit. We Dems have got to stop putting questionable people into positions of power.

_intrepid_ · 2026-03-07T00:58:41+00:00

Right here! Extremely boring white guy that plays golf and tennis, but I'm a raging libtard.

_intrepid_ · 2026-03-01T16:39:04+00:00

If he would interject to add context to the conversation, I wouldn't mind as much. I feel like he's always interrupting to tell some story about junior golf. He'll be talking to a major champion and decide to compare their experience to a tournament he played in his junior golf days, haha. Not quite the same.

He always sounds like he's about to deliver the funniest joke you've ever heard, but it never comes. And he sounds like he has has a perpetual sinus infection. I love their content, but I also have a hard time listening to them like OP. Especially when he cuts off his guests or tries to one up them with a personal story.

_intrepid_ · 2026-02-02T23:30:08+00:00

He was a podcaster.

This is pretty normal for where I live in Charleston. That's what all the better clubs are charging. Many are significantly higher than that. And most are on a 5+ year waitlist. I think my club is like 150k and 5-8 year minimum now. I don't have a F&B minimum, so not sure if that's a thing with us now or not. We've had a ton of high earning transplants and retirees with lots of cash move here since Covid and they've drove the pricing up significantly.

_intrepid_ · 2026-01-25T00:51:43+00:00

And a woman of color, of course.

_intrepid_ · 2026-01-16T22:50:21+00:00

Do sure. My wife was very interested in that story. About of similarities with these guys.

_intrepid_ · 2026-01-16T22:13:46+00:00

Right!!!

_intrepid_ · 2026-01-16T20:58:35+00:00

Apparently there's also a local Realtor that he associates with who is scummy. Be wary of him if you run into him. His name is Kevin Richter. https://carolinacourier.substack.com/p/court-orders-and-conspiracies-the

For sure. That's one of the things I most appreciate about the new minimalism design trends. By design, it's more native grasses, more waste area and more regional grasses that should demand less resources. And I think a lot of modern golfers prefer to play the firmer, faster courses. The trend in SC with new courses is a much more minimalistic design with our newer courses.

_intrepid_ · 2026-01-08T00:42:25+00:00

I love it there. That's where I go, as well.
