Running 2022 Golf Thread

Haven't played this year. Still rehabbing shoulder tendinitis and a nagging oblique/back strain. Also have a "trigger finger" that needs a cortisone shot.

I feel like DeChambeau.

 

Yeah, that approach to 18 used to be one of the coolest images in golf. Now you can barely tell there’s a lighthouse there.

 

Anyone catch the 30 for 30 on Norman last night.

 

FWIW bought a mallet putter for first time in my life and ….it was game changing. Always hated look but damn it’s easier to putt on line.

 

Have not, but will catch it on demand at some point. Honestly, his collapse was my entry point into golf. I remember watching it at the student newspaper office when we were working, and I sort of got hooked on golf after that.

 

I ordered my first set of clubs from the Edwin Watts ad in the back of Golf Digest while watching him take apart the course in the third round. Told them to delay shipping until I got home from college, which they did. Problem was my mom was home that day from work and still intercepted the giant box they came in. It was her fault anyways. I had hand-me-downs from my uncle that she sold at a garage sale a year before.

 

Agreed. Nothing on Jack. And, much more shocking given the network producing the series, nothing on Mr. Woods.

 

Golf Channel has presented multipart documentaries on both Arnie and Jack. The tone of both, as you might guess, verges on worshipful. My guess is Woods keeps a tight hold on rights to his life story and when he feels the time is right, he'll produce it himself for somebody.

 

The Frank Chirkinian-Peter Kostis story about the final round is wonderful and also unsurprising.
