Running 2024 golf thread

Just catching up after a busy day. First I’m learning off the beef between Finau and Tosti.

Golf drama!

I’m a bit of a Finau fan, for no particular reason other than I like his game and he owns an unusual and highly effective swing.

Know nothing of Tosti. Rookie.

Anyway, juicy, as far as golf rules disputes go.

Waiting list of 40,000 volunteers for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage, according to a friend, a former LPGA player.

 

Scheffler couldn’t hit the ocean if he putted off the side of an aircraft carrier. Geez.

 

As good as Scheffler is from tee to green, his putting is absolutely sickening to watch. 6 feet for birdie to force a playoff and doesn’t touch the hole.

 

My wife and I were watching.

her: If he makes this it’s a playoff?

me: yes, but it’s just far enough out to be in his head and miss but close enough to make Jaeger figure he’ll be in a playoff.

Gagged it. WTH is with his putting?

 

His putting actually has been pretty good the past 3 weeks, he was inside the top 10 for the week in Hou. He missed, that's golf.

 

I mean, he's been Win-Win-T2 the last three weeks. Some putts are dropping.

Other guys play, too.

 

And he's already won one. Look, you always bet the field. But he's miles better than everyone right now, and has been for a while.

 

Man, I’m looking forward to the Masters.

I didn’t expect it, but I’ve watched way more of the PGA Tour this season than in recent years.

The late-night replays on Fri-Sat-Sun have been my wind-down viewing.

Really enjoyed the risk-reward Houston course. Tons of balls in the water.
