Thanks, Lenny, for the inspiration.   I played an entire round without a single practice swing today.    It hurt my chipping and lag putting the most.   But I did it.  So, thanks.

Nice going Tower!

I’ve never played a regular 18 hole round without any practice swings but 5 years ago I played 100 holes in one day to raise money for a charity. Started around 7am, finished at 5:30. No practice swings that day!

My practice swings are where I hit all my perfect shots.

Blood Money Tour spends almost $800 million on its first season's 7 events

From Sports Illustrated:

The formation and inaugural season of LIV Golf has been the biggest story in the sport this year, with money the underlying theme.

SI Golf's Bob Harig has followed LIV Golf from the beginning, including covering six of its first seven events in person, and he's in Miami this week for the Saudi-backed league's inaugural Team Championship. In a Sports Illustrated Daily Cover story published Wednesday, he details a wild summer of excess that has polarized professional golf and changed the lives of more than just the players.

Harig learned that LIV Golf's first season cost a total of $784 million, and $1 billion is the expected spend next year when LIV Golf rolls out a 14-event schedule with sites around the world.

“I couldn’t be happier,” said 46-year-old Pat Perez, who left the PGA Tour to sign a four-year deal with LIV Golf believed to be worth $10 million. “Look, I know I can’t beat those kids anymore. This was a great opportunity for me. I have nothing against the PGA Tour; they did a lot for me, but I had to earn everything I got out there.”


I'm sure Pat Perez couldn't be happier. He got $10 million just for showing up to lose; had he remained a PGA Tour has-been, he might not have made 1/20th of that.

What a roaring endorsement of LIV from Pat. I can't compete on the Tour, so hello LIV. Makes me want to tune in. That's golf, but Louder.

For Pat, it makes perfect sense.   The end of his current contract coincides with him gaining eligibility for the senior tour.   I assume the issues will be worked out by then.

No doubt. But, it would be better for LIV if Pat stops talking since LIV wants people to believe it's offering the same level of competition as the Tour.

I can't Tower.  Most of us cannot casually shoot 65's like you do three times a week.

In addition , Perez earned  an additional 8 million from his share of his teams and personal winnings over the course of the season . Good work if you can get it .

Excellent story on Morgan Hoffman . Budding PGA Tour star who was confronted with Muscular Dystrophy Diagnosis and is now living in Costa Rico. Trying to recover health and potentially try to get back on tour.

  a very "interesting", if not an unconventional approach to maintain a balance in his life despite the conventional odds.  great story nonetheless questioning the "matter over mind" theories and quite possibly turning them around.  good for morgan absolutely! if he is not successful in returning to some more organized form of golf, at least he seems to have found the balance many others fail to find
 
  my own little side note-looks like he has a pretty good golf partner/caddy who would be enough motivation for me(yowsa!), but wonder if the pga (or LIV) would allow him to wear his own "foot joys"  :D
