    Glad to see a slow play warning take someone off their game.   Speed it up.

    That was complete bullshit.  They got the warning because Bryson needed a rules official to make a ruling 2 times on back to back holes I believe it was.  The way the tour picks and chooses how to enforce that stuff is a complete joke.  I'm 100% on board with the slow play stuff if guys are just playing super slow but when you get backed up because you need a rules official to make a ruling???  Seems a bit much.

    Look at most other sports.  Football, baseball, racing, soccer, hockey.  They all require split second decision making (or at most 3-5 seconds). Golfers complain that 45 seconds isn’t enough when the ball isn’t moving.  

    Pro golfers are pampered.  Don’t feel bad for Harris at all.  Found something he needs to work on.

    I think that's what makes golf so difficult....the fact that it's not reactionary. Like Kramer once said, "The ball's just sitting there, Jerry, and I can't hit it!"

    This is true.  Pros dedicate their lives to it and can still be inconsistent.  Still, 45 seconds is enough time for a pro (who has a caddy to help) to make a decision and hit it.

    I can't stand slow play when I'm playing either.  I could care less if you shoot a 72 or a 102. Just keep it moving!

    Well I don't disagree. I'm an outrageously fast player and cannot stand waiting around for the people in front of me, or the people I'm playing with.

    The thing is it shouldn't have thrown Harris off his game.  Call them out!  They weren't going to give anyone a penalty so do what you have to do.  Have they ever aside from the kid at the Masters like a decade ago?

    That said, slow play sucks

    Bump this thread back up.

    Nice to see Tony Finau finally win a tournament.  Women’s Open was a good one on Sunday.  Wish we had more Sunday morning golf like the Open and the Masters a few years ago.

    I am starting to watch a lot of YouTube golf channels and people playing different courses. Full on addicted.  Played 30 rounds in July.  Some people don’t look forward to retirement.  I do if I can play 30 rounds in a month again.

    Nice to see Finau finally get that 2nd win.  I bet him at 12 to 1 before the final round started yesterday so had a nice little payday.  Dude was lights out on the back 9.  Guessing he just put himself on the Ryder Cup team with that performance...

    Listened to the first 30 minutes of No Laying Up this morning and it didn't disappoint knowing the Finau debates over the years

    Handicap went from 10.5 to 14.0.  Did not get better.

    Interesting. I find that when I play frequently, I don't play all that well. But when I haven't been out in a month and a half, and I expect to suck, I usually play pretty well. Strange.

    Haha. Damn. The tough courses would be accounted for in the slope and rating. Is that a basic handicap or a true index?

    It would be the true index.  Tougher courses definitely did a number.  Going from mid80’s to rounds at 100 at tougher courses (and poor play) really hurt it.  I think I need to practice some versus just trying to fix things on the course when they go haywire.  

    Have three 83’s though in my last five rounds.  Irons are much better.

    Another 83 today.  I really hope there is a sub-80 round in my future.

    This just in: Bandon Dunes, would recommend.  First time there.  We got perfect weather.



    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Looks like Sheep Ranch in the first picture.  I want to say #6 on Bandon Dunes on the second photo.  Trails #3?  Wait, that is probably the Preserve.

    where are you staying?  Where did you fly into?  I was there in July and heading back Christmas Day.
