3 weeks agoI watch the Masters every year on Sunday to see who’s going to make birdies & possibly eagles. I record the US Open and watch it at a later date, a) to fast forward through the commercials, and b) to see who’s, not going to make the occasional birdie, but who will screw up. Cannot think of any other sport where a single event is so changed by the powers that be (the USGA) to affect THEIR desired outcome. Watch, since they can’t make many courses longer, they’ll just make the short par fives into par fours now. The USGA had their head up their ass the past 20 years while all the equipment improvements wete going wild. Now I love to see the dumb looks on their face when asked why some classic courses are obsolete.

3 weeks agoThe PGA Tour is driven by ratings and TV revenues with outside sponsors for income. Like most televised sports.
Many viewers watch to see the best, being their best with the desire to achieve some similar performance themselves. Therefore, when the course setup drives up scoring, for me, I begin to lose interest in spending four hours of what is no better than a WWE match.. I greatly enjoy the science approach that I see from some because that explains and provides a procedure to get better. if I consider what I may do, within my physical limits. Therefore, PAR is of little interest to me – doing as well as possible is the joy in playing, on a day. As a former professional football player, I recall the premise that on any play I have 30 seconds to get over the disappointment and joy of the prior results because the game goes on. A life lesson.
A footnote, I wish the TV personalities would shut up and let the the voices of the players be heard rather than their nonsense chatter. TV chases the players with camera and mics, give us the actual views in the moment.
Thanks, JT
