Running 2020 PGA Tour thread

What's wrong with it?

 

I don't think it's hideous, but it's awful busy for my taste.

 

Kevin Kisner apparently went to the Skip Bayless School of compassion and warmth.

 

We have a new folk hero in golf...his name is Harry Higgs

Pro ends his round with an epic shot and an epic celebration

Hits a walk-off double-eagle for a 62.
To get into contention at a PGA Tour event.
Has fun celebrating it.
Signs the ball and gives it to a volunteer ("because I'd just lose it).
And he looks like a guy who pulls up to your threesome at a muni on the fourth hole with a beer in hand and two empties already in the back basket and asks if he can join your group.

 

He wouldn't look as fat if his shirt wasn't tucked in (crossthread).

 

I dig Higgs.
Tour needs more of this.
Like a young Daly.
Hit it. Find it. Hit it again. Don't take it so seriously.

 

Played with DeChambeau at SMU...couldn't be more different in their approach. I hope he was the guy in college telling DeChambeau "lighten up Frances."

 

Rex Chapman put up a tweet that he has a parent whose parents both died, his own parents have been sick and his kid tested positive. Kisner tweeted back something like “I guess they didn’t follow protocols”.

Shipnuck might have a picture on his twitter feed.

Edit:

 

The exact quote from Kisner is "Guess they can't follow the guidelines." Kisner removed the tweet, issued an apology and the Tour issues a statement that condemned his very Bayless-like sensitivity. The fact that the story was on the PGA Tour's web site is a good indication that Jay Monahan was pretty pissed at Kisner and is letting him twist in the wind a little.

Kisner apologizes for insensitive remark

Initially, Chapman told Kisner to stuff his apology up his ass. He was more conciliatory later. The cruel little joke is that Kisner is on the Players Advisory Council that helped set the Tour protocols on playing golf under COVID restrictions.

 

Do I know Kisner? No. But having lived a bit, his facial expressions on TV and in interviews don’t convey compassion.
