What about VR Golf? Virtual reality golf is different again.

Nope. The windiest city is North America is St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, We're an island in The North Atlantic. If you don't like playing golf in 25-40 MPH (40-60 KPH) winds most days or at least for portions of the day, you don't play golf here.

Your next game changer is an electric push cart. I used to carry my clubs, then I got a ClicGear. I had it for about 12 years, made a couple of repairs on it like a brake cable and the handle broke. When it was time for the next fix, I decided to buy a new one or get an electronic push club. I decided to go with the electronic cart. That was a game changer. You can walk with the cart or let it go ahead of you. Wow. what a difference. I live in The 3rd windiest city in the world so not having to push the cart into the wind was a bonus. Now I can just hold onto it and I don't have to push it. They aren't that expensive for a regular one. They can get expensive if you want but mine was only about $500-600 US. Definitely worth thinking about. At my club, most people are changing from manual push cart to electronic push carts. You're never too young for a push cart.

So basically, they are ranking the whole of the golfing world and they are the Overall World ranking points? They are not doing what their name implies. They do not rank The whole world, do they? IF you honestly believe that DJ is # 247 in The world and there are 246 better golfers in The world, fine. I find it hard to believe that anyone who knows golf would say DJ is the 247th best golfer in The world which is what the World ranking is supposed to do. The system is broken IF their mandate is to rank The best golfers in The World because they definitely aren't doing that. The rules of golf are updated every 4 years but the World ranking points can't work out to to include some of the best golfer sin The world. Tiger's 20 man invitational tournament gets full world ranking points. There is no criteria fro that tournament other than Tiger invites you. SO they can do it if they wish. They don't wish to do it. That's my issue. Explain to me how a 20 man invitational tournament get points, no other criteria other than Tiger invites you. He does try to get The best field but again no criteria but LIV doesn't? Sorry makes no sense to me.

That's hard to believe that 1/2 of the major winners in The last 6 1/2 years play on The LIV tour. That's crazy but it's a fact.

I think The starting point is 75% seeing they play 3 rounds rather than 4. Then points get reduced for a closed field and the no cut. They are already inconsistencies in the rankings now. The biggest one is Tiger's tournament that is a 20 man invitational with no cut gets full points. I know it took that tournament a number of years before they were awarded points but that precedent has already been set and if a 20 man invitational gets full points, I don't think it's a stretch for LIV to get partial points. The other one is a PGA tour event that only plays 3 rounds. I know that most times that happens there has been a cut but sometimes they isn't. If you are going to give points for some tournaments that are run by The PGA Tour, then tournaments that LIV play should also get points.

Well said. The OWGR could make it work IF they wanted to. I'm glad the PGA Championship & The Masters have invited at least one person. I believe that the US Open & The Open could do the same but with that said, the LIV golfers could try to qualify through The qualifying tournaments so there is an avenue for them to play those two majors. I don't think they should have to qualify if they're good enough. Dust Johnson is now #247 in the world. If anyone golf fan thinks that there are 246 better golfers in the world, I think they're nuts. There is no way that DJ is the 247th best golfer in The world. THat's crazy. Unfortunately the World ranking aren't ranking everyone so the system is flawed or change the name to Ranking of some golfers.

I think LIV should get World ranking points but at 35-40% of the PGA Tour. Some of the tours that do get World ranking points are only 3 rounds, not 4. The name is The WORLD ranking points. The object is to identify the best golfers in The world. At this moment, it doesn't. That's The bottom line. You have Rahm, Koepka, DJ, Niewmann, Taylor Gooch, Louie O, Cam Smith, Reed and a few others that were always within the top 50 or at max the top 100. Now some of them are in The 200s and lower. Did they suddenly become lousy golfers? NO they didn't. As the name say it's a World Ranking system. Well in actual fact, It isn't a world ranking system anymore. It needs to change. I would love to see them all on one tour again but even the majors aren't getting the best players anymore. They are getting the majority of them but not all. It looks like the Masters and the PGA Championships have figured that out and have, at least, one golfer who doesn't qualify through World Ranking points. There is a solution but to do it, the World ranking system must rank all golfers, not just ones that have a major influence on the board, the PGA Tour. Golf is forever changing, The rules are updated every 4 years, The equipment we use keeps changing, The clothes we were on The course changes by evident that we no longer have to play wearing a suit. SO the time has come for the World ranking system to rank The world. I did not watch LIV but since LIV started, I'm not really interested in watching the PGA Tour either.

I'm retired so I play in the morning between 8-9 if possible. I find the game is quicker the earlier you tee off. I play every day I can.

Given that, I would have to choose between, St. Andrews because of the history, Augusta because it the course of the Masters and I would say Cabot Cliffs in Nova Scotia. A true links course on the North Atlantic.

Dpersad, I have played the Whilst courses and I would rate them as Big Sky, Nicholas North, Chateau Whistler and Whistler golf course. Big Sky is flat but with Mount Currie in The background is amazing. Chateau Whistler is a true mountain course though. You're playing on the mountain. Another course that you play if you like ocean side is Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs on Cape Breton island in Nova Scotia. It is a true seaside course and it's they are in the top 100 courses of the world and both are in the top 3 of Canadian courses.

That is correct. If you won the amateur and then turned pro, you can't get into the Masters as the reigning U.S. Amateur because you are now a pro. Once you turn pro, you have to earn your way as a pro and not a the regaining US Amateur.

I don't have a bucket list of courses to play. I can't afford to play any of the well known courses because the price to play the courses are out of my income bracket.

ckeller52, one of The guys we played with sometimes also doesn't take gimmies. He basically plays tournament golf everyday. That's not me, I'll take a gimme.

Yes, playing for money or a club match, the distance may change to be a shorter distance but generally playing with my regular group, you knock the ball back to them or tell them "Take it away or That's good". IN a money match or a club match, you judge by how good the person normally putts or if it's someone you don't know, it's how good they are putting that day.
