So,if Greg Norman follows through with his idle, off the cuff remark about having a 4 man team of regular Joes try to qualify for a LIV event, would anyone here give it a whirl?

It wouldn't be difficult

It is Greg Norman, Jr idea. PGA Tour eliminating Monday Qualifiers in coming years. So those 4 Monday Qualifiers spots could theoretically be open by LIV each week. It is not really Averages Joes, it is the usual fringe PGA Tour Pros.

It would be more interesting to watch than anything that takes place on the Blood Money Tour to date.

Hard to believe people cheer for Team USA at these events

Tough Sunday in golf for Buffoon Cain.  His spankbank gal loses to Nelly by shooting +1 today and Rory wins the Race to Dubai

Winding up...  I did not travel to golf this year.
Titleist GT2 driver is like cheating.
Cleveland CBX wedge (52) and RTX6 (56) were large forgiveness upgrades over the Vokey SM6's.

I did not discover any magic, unknown, golf balls.  There are golf balls that don't impress me as much.  But, over the course of a round, barring outlier conditions, I score the same with a DUO as I do with a Pro V1.

The swing tip that may have helped the most was to keep my weight on my front side and turn without swaying on my irons.  If my weight is never on my right side, it can't stay there.

The glitch is sometimes getting too close to the ball, not leaving room for a full, free swing.

I hope everybody got out and played.  I hope everyone found a swing thought that worked for them.

Which drunken scoop golfers got their butts whipped by one guy out in Arizona?

Powerful indeed. Life is complicated, so are people. Human nature makes us want to be judgmental, put people in a box. I'm sure some people who encountered Grayson Murray when he was struggling held pretty harsh opinions of him. Thanks for sharing an article that is honest but also kind towards a guy who deserves it.

[Herman Cain]

Australian Open Golf has Woman and Men playing tournament on same course at the same time.

The Grayson story is very sad. Mental illness is a serious struggle and it is hard on all involved. The article was well done and I hope his family and friends can find peace in their lives.

He hasn't exactly been tournament ready for the majors he has played in either.

Who won?

[tower912]

I forgot about it.  Apparently, Rory and Scottie.

PGA players dog-walked the LIV guys. And while I love watching these type of events the personalities involved made watching about as interesting as I'd imagine one of the meat summits would be.

I wonder what lesson they'll learn from this event?  Men's golf is probably the least relevant it's been in decades.

LIV is a bust.  The Tour is losing sponsors and viewers.  Players on both tours have no idea the product sucks and don't care.  The players that do care on the PGA side are dismissed unless they care solely about money. 

Without the majors, the sport would be on the level of bowling
