    Jerry wasn't the owner, in my youth.

    Now this is a good looking course that is also awesome.

    Sorry Tommy Fleetwood.  Gotta get it up.  Love false fronts.

    I don't get the hate on Bryson.  He's had a pretty damn good year.

    I don't like his approach to the game.  It is very technical now but he takes it to the extreme.  His swing is annoying to watch as well (not that I even have one after 8 years of playing a lot).

    His driving range meltdown at The Open is an instant classic.

    Well his approach seems to be working pretty well....won 2 tournaments this year with stacked fields.  There always seems to be such a resistance amongst golf fans and writers when anyone tries to do things differently.

    So the final four gotta be tiger, Phil, Bryson and Finau, right? Barring a win from someone on the edge replacing finau?

    Not the biggest Bryson fan. Seems like a bit of a baby to me and his shtick kinda annoyed me but he’s clearly doing something right, so good for him.

    It is like Formula One versus NASCAR.  Formula One is very technical and from my limited knowledge seems like the "engineers" on the computers win the race versus the driver.  NASCAR seems more about the grit of the driver.  I know the parallel isn't exactly perfect, but with golf Bryson would be like Formula One (dull and clinical) versus Tiger/Spieth types that want to beat the opponent at all costs.

    But he doesn’t talk about it that much.  His creativity is off the charts.  They all have to be technical this level except maybe DJ.

    I am about half way through this and it is truly insane.  Puts how much crap happened in perspective
