Beating the guy who one group before, eagled to go in the lead by one.

That's the Masters, sir.

OH NOES! Terrible mistake on my part.

I mean I think the 2020 Masters is fair game

A lot of your posts are even better when you read them, then immediately look at your avatar. This is a perfect example.

Lucas Glover just double eagled #10 at the John Deere.

One of my old lacrosse teammates played the pro-am earlier this week with Johnny Vegas and Adam Schenk

JT Poston becomes only the 2nd player ever to win a PGA Tour tournament going bogey free. (Trevino 1974).

I think Liberty National may be on my bucket list of courses I'd love to play.

It looked spectacular yesterday. And those views from the course are incredible.

I think you just start one?
But gofundme takes like 30%+

Claim you were robbed at your hotel while attending a Trump rally, get some breast implants, and post sexy pictures with a rifle.

He probably doesn't need the breast implants, his are perfectly fine, so that's gonna really simplify things.

I've been training my whole life for this!

The Steph Curry funding a college golf team is a pretty cool story. Hope they can keep the funding after 6 years. HBCU's have had some hard time with financial stability. Usually starting a team means getting $ for an endowment that then funds a program/big chunk of the program (i.e. Michigan & Utah lacrosse).

Also Tiger should take this as an example and then up him by funding golf for the entire HBCU domain in the south or such.

Wouldn't the analogy be Tiger starting a basketball team?

No.

Guys, Giff is definitely not OK.

Actually as I went to type out my reasoning I nearly talked myself into a "yes" provided you added one caveat. But no, I think a proper analogy would be another popular athlete : underfunded/underrepresented sport at HBCU. So badminton?

That's fair. I was definitely going apples to apples and, as I bet a lot of HBCUs already have basketball teams, it doesn't make sense. But again my original post was a strict interpretation and not even that serious.

I got that it was not a serious post...but in all honesty my posting of that was in response to this headline in the WaPo

Tony Romo shot two under on a pga setup today. You do that you’re a hell of a golfer (and of course still well below the level of a tour player).

Last I checked it was ahead of a whole lot of real golfers including Mickelson, Matsuyama, Furyk, Thomas. Like he can actually make the cut.

Well yes. But sample size and all that I’d recommend taking those guys over him for a full season.

Let’s just hope this tournament doesn’t go to a playoff, right???

Probably wouldn’t be able to tee it up.

70-78 is still badass.

So Woods kicks off his season with a terrible first 3 holes (Bogey, Bogey, Bogey) and then gets hot to start in the lead at -6 with Woodland. The Zozo championship is not the Masters, but interesting start after the skins thing he just did where he was pedestrian (for a pro golfer).

The Zozo Championship? Is this in honor of Zeppelin?

I just went to the website and have no clue what they do https://corp.zozo.com/en/

Tiger Woods won

Yeah!! Fuck you, Sam Snead!

One thing I definitely would be interested in doing is following Tiger Woods around for a post-victory celebration in Tokyo.

Tiger makes his captain’s picks for the Presidents Cup:

Tony Finau
Patrick Reed
Gary Woodland
Himself


Left out: Fowler, Spieth, Phil, and many many others

I would have put Fowler over Reed probably.

So Brendon Todd wins back-to-back weeks on the Tour. Moves from 2006 to 83rd in the world ranking. Gets the invite now to the PGA and Masters, but not the US Open because one of his events was not a full point event. Needs to be top 60 on June 15th for the Open or win another event or get through sectional qualifying (which he did last year)
