Almost all Japanese are anti-vaxxers. MMR is Japanese for Tuskegee

Airfare to Japan has been CRAZY low for the past six or so months. Like, taking my family of 5 for $1600 RT. I've heard that Japan has been more cautious approving vaxxes, NOT that the populace is anti-vaxx.

Yes the populace has a reason. Not batshit crazy conspiracy theorists like Americans.

Here’s another view. Maybe the guy didn’t know that you are not allowed to steal one of the player’s clubs and make like you are going to hit his club head cover off the 10th tee.

AAh, one of golf's many unwritten rules.

First off... Um, security?

Maybe not for every pair, but you'd think the top player in the world, plus one of the most famous, might have at least someone with walkie talkie plugged into security would be trailing them.

In terms of the golfer and caddy reactions, I don't have an issue with that. It's a golf course. The guy wasn't being threatening, just fucking off the charts weird.

You see a homeless guy acting like a lunatic in the park... You going straight up to that guy and confronting him?

Good day for the hockey player. TJ Oshie knocked the cover off the ball for longest drive.

Seems odd that Annika gets to play, but it's not like she is running away with it. I guess the yardage is the issue.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sat Jul 10, 2021 4:42 pm

Yeah I'm not sure what it says that David Wells is somewhat in the ballpark of her score. Are handicaps applied?

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sat Jul 10, 2021 4:55 pm

Annika pulls into the lead!

I think the most compelling version of this would be for Phil to play, but he has to spot the field 10 points a round.

JR smith has asked ncaa for waiver to play college golf. He never went to college and therefore has eligibility technically in non basketball sports.

This playoff for the BMW Championship is nuts. Starting to think Patrick Cantlay is a witch.

Definitely a witch.

Cantlay is not a real person. Good grief.

Appropriate that the Solheim Cup is ending on Labor Day because the US is getting worked

DJ is the most interesting name here, since RBC sponsors his left arm, and because he has some significant Canadians in his family. The rest of this is pretty meh.

For context, Tiger Woods leads the all-time money list at ~$120 million.

I know golf crowds are supposed to be quiet, but I'd love to hear these guys booed mercilessly at the US Open

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jun 01, 2022 12:56 pm

You can afford pretty good earplugs for $125 million.

Post by **brian** » Wed Jun 01, 2022 1:07 pm

US Open might be the only chance you get to boo DJ any time soon unless you're making any trips overseas.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Jun 01, 2022 1:10 pm

Maybe I just don't understand money in that stratosphere, but how is present day Dustin Johnson worth anything close to $125MM?

Most of this season's events are in the USA. I don't know if that is the plan long term.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jun 01, 2022 1:33 pm

I definitely want to know the structure of that $125M and what strings are attached vs. what's guaranteed.

Wow, mention paying way too much for a 37 year old in 2022 and look who jumps in.

Leveraging a team to the hilt upon purchasing it is slightly more palatable to sportswashing a dictatorship.

Would USGA uphold PGA suspensions (for something like this)?

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jun 01, 2022 3:53 pm

I really doubt that the USGA would give effect to another organization's ban in setting eligibility for an open tournament. Augusta is another story since they can invite and disinvite whoever they want. But whether they ban or not, a lot of the criteria for a Masters invite or an exemption from Open qualifying involve amassing points on the PGA Tour or wins in PGA Tour events. If you're not on the Tour and you haven't won a major before, your best bet to qualify is probably OWGR. I wonder how the OWGR will treat LIV events. Even if they stay neutral to the politics, how do you compare the two competitions?
