Not too unlikely when El Camaleón Golf Club (PGA Mayakoba Classic golf tournament) moved from being a PGA venue to a LIV venue.

It is was a big error on the LPGA. The CME CEO, Duffy thinks it was a snub. There might be more to the story and some drama ahead.

I can see why. The Honda Classic was getting railroaded by the high profile tournaments before and after. It will be interesting to see if Honda moves to LIV as a sponsor instead.

The M-Craft line are quality premium putters. I have the M-Craft wide blade. The milling is really top notch. The ability to adjust the weight is great. Big fan of carbon steel putters, but not a lot of putter companies using carbon steel. Carbon steel has more of solid feel to me. I just wished Mizuno M-Craft had a larger rounded mallet putter.

Wow, impressive. The CNC milling looks excellent. That gold color is stunning.

I always wondered if a car ding repair kit would fix those dings. I bet someone has tried.

I like Jack's strategy for hitting in to greens (Tiger followed the same strategy). He would aim for the middle of the green and either draw it or fade it depending on the location of the flag. You really have to command of you ball though.

What kind of golf skills machine is that? Never heard of that.

I thought the rangefinders were a success. Most players I saw were using them. Caddies were not taking time to pace off yardages. Pace seem steady for a tough major with really tough conditions. I can see how pro caddies might not want them because rangefinders take away from their skill and preparation for tournaments. The caddies that work harder pre-tournament may have more accurate yardages. However nowadays, every player/caddie gets a lot of information from yardage books and green slope charts. That is a newer development. Still think rangefinders improve tournament golf.

Phil just played fantastic this week. Outplayed the field. Watch out for him at the US Open on his home course. Oosthuizen still impresses at majors. His ball striking is pure. If he could putt, he would be holding more major trophies.

Might be psychological, might be feel, might be technical, might be something else. Regardless if it improves your game it is worthwhile. Sometimes you just need an equipment change.

The top players in the world will not want to go unless much later in their career. The entire focus of the top players is to win majors because that is what their careers are defined by. However, to me more big money tour events is better around the world because the PGA tour and Korn Ferry tour is so impacted. There are some big names on the Korn Ferry tour that are major winners or multiple PGA tour winners. Not sure if the PGL or SGL is the answer, but I'm pretty sure a lot of players struggling to get on the PGA tour or back to the PGA tour would be interested in playing big money events around the world even if they are not on the PGA tour. There are still a lot of markets where golf hasn't really broken into.

Been playing for 40+ years since I was 5 and went though quite a few times where I felt that. The problem is I can't sit idle and always have to do something active so golf keeps driving me back to practice then to the course. Golf is constantly a roller coaster of a game.

Not a lot, but definitely a few times per round. If you play tree lined courses, sometimes it calls for a particular shot shape. It is amazing what some of the pros do and how they work it almost every shot.
