    Weird thing to say when mad about a putt.  I will string about 5 curse words in a row when I shank a shot but that one isn’t one of them.

    Remember when Reed did it a few years ago after not getting a putt there, but yeah, not something that should just roll off the tongue that easy these days

    Has anyone watched the Tiger doc on hbo yet? Watched the second part last night. Knew they were going in depth with his downfall. Didn't realize how in depth they would get. Makes you really appreciate the come back even more so after watching though.

    And if you haven't seen it yet, without spoiling it, here is the best part: "THE FUCK YOU DO."

    I've seen the first part.  Basically destroyed his dad.  Didn't really feel like we learned much of significance that we didn't already know.  I think you get a better appreciation of how abnormal Tiger's youth was and how difficult it would be for him to be a normal person socially as an adult.

    I watched it as well and agree with all of this.  Good summary of Episode 1.  Earl was a different kind of guy for sure and truly believed his son was a God-like figure that would change the world.

    Super curious where that Master's is going to rank on all time sporting events.  Where does it compare to 86?  86 probably has to be above it, all things considered.

    Watched both parts this week.  I thought it was pretty well done.  I always knew Earl was intense but holy shit.  Tiger was a real dirtbag in his personal life but he didn't have much chance of being normal with that upbringing.  The 2019 Masters win is absolutely incredible...he had no idea if he'd ever play golf again and then comes back to win the Masters at 43.  Insane

    I love having pga tour live on when working from home. Can't believe it's already Torrey Pines week. The Masters will be here before we know it.

    Never heard of this rule before.  Players making it sound pretty normal.  He wasn’t trying to hide anything.   Rory did the same thing without a rules official so I think this is all overblown.  

    Pros can find so many ways to get out of bad shots.

    It's because Rory called over his playing competitor,  according to the pros. It's not about whether he broke the rules.  PGA said he didn't.  Evidently he broke the code.
