    Well done!  Any idea when the West Palm Golf Park renovation project will re-open?  I've been hearing a lot about it.
    Was just down there golfing for the weekend...sadly not a local.  But I did just look into that West Palm golf park and it sounds great.  Will definitely be a spot to hit on our trip down there next year.

    That's awesome man!  Closest I've been is a few inches.  A couple of times my shot looked REALLY good...got up to the green all excited, and no ball was there.  Check the cup...nope.  It's off the back and in the sand.  hahaha

    A few years ago Nick Taylor stared down Mickelson and won at Pebble Beach. Then he disappeared, dropped out of the top 200 world golf rankings. Now he is staring down Scheffler and Rahm at WM.  He is an enigma.

    Having said that…finish it off Nick! 🇨🇦

    It is interesting that they talk about growing the game and getting more eyes on the PGA Tour.    The answer is so incredibly simple and they are too stubborn to do it.  The investment to grow ad revenues 30% in one year is a few thousand dollars.  What is it?   It is called a golf cart.  And they should give it to Tiger Woods.  

    Tiger probably knows he makes little money from the PGA Tour and will clean up on the TGL Circuit.  He already wins the top PIP money anyway.

    I think Tiger would refuse the cart.

    Has anyone seen the Netflix show yet? Hoping to start it tonight...

    Yeah Tiger has said repeatedly that he won't use a cart in competition.  Maybe he will when he's eligible for the senior tour?

    Watched the first 2 episodes of Full Swing last night.  It's pretty good I guess.  I'm really into the whole golf scene already so feel like I'm not going to learn much from it but still entertaining.

    I have really low expectations of Full Swing.   Seeing Ian Poulter throw something in the locker room isn't great tv.  These are golfers that had privileged beginnings and have a team around them making sure they don't screw up their swings and their images.   VH1 Behind the Music would be a lot more interesting I bet.

    I have no interest in anything Brooks Koepka and his wife have to say.  

    I know Tiger said he wouldn't do it.  I include Tiger in the stubborn group as he and Rory are pseudo VPs of the PGA Tour.

    I've only watched the first half of the first episode so far. Not really that into it, but I'll keep watching here and there. It's a little contrived. For example, Justin Thomas and Jordan Speith had a phone conversation at one point where the cameras are on Jordan at the course as he calls, and on Justin at home as he answers. I'm anticipating a lot of stuff like that. But it seems like it could be a good behind the scenes look at pro golf, and I'll be interested in the Tour vs. LIV stuff.

    What a week for golf. Tiger!

    The Netflix show is what it is. These dudes aren’t all that interesting but at the same time, have you ever seen a professional athlete as vulnerable as brooks in episode 2? That’s as far as I’ve gotten and he seems super spoiled but idk, that’s as honest as I’ve see a professional athlete?

    Also, according to shipnuck, maybe not correct, brooks wants back to pga

    First episode was okay. A bit cheesy....but yeah I'm gonna binge the whole thing. Looking forward to the LIV stuff.

    Caught the last 6 holes last night. Boy am I glad I did. Awesome stuff.

    The Joel Dahmen and Tony Finau focused episodes have been the best so far.

    Last 3 holes for Tiger were something to behold. Great putt on 17.

    47 years old with a broken body and he's hitting 180 ball speed off the tee.  Incredible.

    Most men would be canceled for doing that. Tiger is made of teflon.

    Tough finish over last few holes for Tigger today, opposite of yesterday.
    Probably misses cut.

    Pretty damn incredible though to be one shot from making the cut in his position.  

    Leaderboard is awesome.
