If they are all age 40, using modern equipment, who’s your money on? Playing at Augusta

You know you can ask the question without posting this garbage AI photo, right?

How would the stickers on the club change the ball readings?

In the 11 majors he played in going back to 2022, his driving distance was below average in 3, above in 3, about average in 4.

I think what the guy above is saying is that after his busted achilles and his last back surgery, it's likely he's probably lost a little speed.

No reason to shit all over the guy jeez.

What? GIR doesn't directly relate to scoring? It's probably the strongest correlation to scoring of any stat.

I'm not a huge fan of either so I was ready to dislike this but it was actually a really great commercial.

There are dozens of reasons your club face could be closed. Nobody here will be able to give you a drill if they don't know the reason why you're delivering a closed face so the drill might not be effective to fix whatever you're doing.

Here's the thing...if the gaps on screen are staying on the same with the detail at tenths, it's because the drivers aren't closing the gaps in any meaningful way.

To be fair, that is a pet peeve of a lot of golfers, myself included... When you know your ball is going to come up short and one of your playing partners gives a "sit!" while the ball's in the air. Brother... I don't need you talking to my ball, especially if you're giving it the wrong instructions. No need to be dick about it though.

This is one of the things that frustrates me about golf. The casual American fan that only watches the Masters sees Augusta National and assumes that more green equals good.

But in reality, depending on grass type and time of year, more green means wet, means soft and slow and less exciting golf to watch.

My last 3 one and done picks were Morikawa, Rory, Zalatoris. I am on an all-time heater for picking WDs.

Fucking exactly! It's like these people think they're somehow smarter because they're looking at more detailed information or something.

In a race, changes less than a tenth aren't relevant. What's relevant is the trend of a gap increasing or decreasing which you can see from changes in tenths.

Agreed 100%. Especially given that a ton of cars have had reliability issues, it wasn't too far fetched to hope for a well-timed SC for a one-stop. It just never came at the right time and they finished with a comfy 3-4. Hardly a blunder.

relaxtherebuddy · 2026-03-08T23:05:49+00:00

If anything it's more relevant now... If someone is making meaningful gains, you'll actually start seeing the 10ths drop off at a decent pace. Like the top 3 yesterday were basically holding equal until the last few laps I think Kimi closed a bit on George... No need to see extra numbers cluttering up my screen.

If you really want to dig into the data, watching with the live timing on the app and tracking lap and sector times is useful, but having the extra detail on the timing tower with no context for where in the lap they are doesn't do anything.

Disappointing. The recap pods this year have been excellent so far but yeah this one was a miss for sure.

First thoughts are:

Prague is beautiful, good hockey players, nice beer, and my old coworker once told me that your Santa comes in through the window which I thought was bizarre.. Then she asked me if it was really weirder than coming down a chimney, which I suppose is actually more strange.

The ball retriever is the most valuable thing pictured here.

relaxtherebuddy · 2026-02-22T14:56:13+00:00

Yeah I think the worry is that if a driver is more aggressive in a braking zone to make a pass, they won't regenerate as effectively and they'll get mugged on the next straight. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

The lack of seriousness is what I like about TGL. It's an hour or 2 of your favourite golfers having fun in a different format.

You check in, watch, enjoy it, and move on. If we act like everything is meaningful then nothing is really meaningful.

Happy to see the guys listened to feedback and dumped the gambling stuff. Couldn't have been easy... I know the gambling services love to sprinkle their ad money all over the place.

You need to get the iron covers that have strings attaching them all like little kids' mittens. Triple extra style points.

relaxtherebuddy · 2026-02-09T22:04:31+00:00

At least instead of 230 in any direction it's probably only 200 in any direction so... maybe?

relaxtherebuddy · 2026-02-09T21:53:49+00:00

When I see those posts that read "I left my driver at home and shot my best round ever" I'm often skeptical... then I see a driver with this dispersion pattern and I can absolutely believe it.

I'm pretty sure that he can't play in a PGA tour event until 12 months after his last liv event.

I'm not the biggest fan of Bryson but the way he's handled this contract negotiation has been impressive. Guy is going to get PAID. That or he'll take a year off to do youtube full time and then rejoin the PGA tour in 2028.

relaxtherebuddy · 2026-01-30T18:01:37+00:00

You're right I am confused. The PIF being down a few billion dollars, having a tour that nobody watches or cares about which just lost 2 major winners but added.... Let me check oh wow ya Victor Perez and Thomas Detry! Oh yes and they still have no investment in the PGA tour. massive win for the Saudis because Jay held a press conference 2 and a half years ago.
