    Rory not wearing a hat is really throwing me off.  I know not many care about golf in the olympics, but you can't beat prime time golf...this course in Japan looks amazing.

    I think he does the same during the Ryder Cup for some reason.

    You don't get to show of your sponsors in the Olympics/Ryder Cup so there's no obligation to wear one.

    Heading to the Palm Desert in between the two Ohana weekends.  Anyone play desert golf outside of winter?  It may be 100 degrees and the course is brown, but only paying $59 to play PGA West Stadium course at 7am.

    Yeah.  It's not worse that Florida in my opinion.  Just drink a ton of water even if you aren't thirsty.

    I read two things why.  The cynical reason why is because the gear is adidas and he's Nike, which is probably the reason.

    He said it's because his head is so small and the standard hats don't fit him and that his weekly hats are custom made.

    But he's still wearing that Adidas shirt.  Either way, playing golf without a hat and/or sunglasses is psychotic.  I have headache just thinking about it...

    haha, well true. though I don't think he has a choice on that one.  Yeah that's nuts.

    The top of my head would look like a ripened tomato by the end of the round if I attempted such nonsense.

    The outfits that golfers wear during normal events are all scripted and selected by their sponsors. They may get to decide which outfit they wear which day but Nike, Adidas etc tell them what to wear. 

    In the olympics you don’t get that. They wear their countries uniform so whoever the country has the deal with is what they get.

    Palm Desert has some awesome courses. The whole Coachella Valley does actually.  I’ve played there a ton and have played from March - June. May and June are hot as shit. Haven't played in late September. That course will be bright green regardless of time of year. They water like crazy. Great golf course. Enjoy.

    Great.  I'm really excited to play some desert golf for the first time.  Hopefully I can keep it on the grass. 

    Booked a trip to Bandon Dunes on 12/25 to 12/30.  The rates are significantly reduced and the weather is 39/55.  I've heard of some getting lucky with 60 degree days.  It may be some true links golf - cold, windy, raining.  Only bummer is the days are shorter and may not get two full 18's in. But a $50 replay isn't that bad for 9 holes on those courses.

    Bryson is an anti-vaxxer.  Shocking.

    Watched the women’s Olympics last night.  I think the women’s game is more entertaining than the men’s bomb and gouge.
