The best scramble rule is the 2 putt max. That cures all that what ball went in first nonsense. You are playing a format completely against the rules yet want to get picky about one rule on the green? Come on....

I think the comparisons to Europe aren't apples to apples. Germany for example is about the size of Montana. With the population density in Europe, it is easy to pay for frequent charging stations, but in the US, small cities can't and won't pay $400K-$500K EACH for fast chargers. The lines will be astronomical and a 30 minute stop for a charge (that you pay money for) can turn to multiple hours and a tow bill. Even the FORD ceo stated how hard it was for him to drive Route 66 with some stretches becoming impossible.

There is huge thread on golfwrx about it warning guys. It is just a handful of the premium balls, mostly colors. Sounds like they guy asked for a refund based on them saying they were approved when they really aren't. I think he was going to play them in some USGA event but thankfully checked prior to playing.

Probably been mentioned, but they "forgot" to submit balls to the USGA for quarterly testing so they can't be played in big tournaments. Not that anyone would, but it is worth noting.

I think a lot of the mystique around Hogan is that he "figured it out" on his own without a team or staff of helpers, Trackman and other technology. Basic clubs and hard work. Today's players put in the work, but it is easier for them to find success based on technology and the assistance it provides.

He didn't want to show up in front of any congressional hearings. Was his way to slink away from answering real questions in front of a crowd. It is honestly no surprise LIV got off the ground if that is how weak the PGA players are to allow him to continue to lead their organization. No wonder half of the top players in the world bailed.

Nah, he has a nose problem....his nose is so far up Monahan's rear end, he forgot that the reason he exists is to win golf tournaments.

How were the conditions at Bent Creek? Used to play it when locals could go out for $17. It went downhill and sold and closed for a while. Was hoping that new owners had gotten it back in shape. Think it is a "resort course" of a big hotel chain now?

This is the second "first post advertisement" for Halcyon travel. Care to expound on anything about the trip? Did you go on a trip? Offering deals for members here?

With the new news, does Bob dump the PGA/LIV tour too?

Honestly, until used golf ball companies can tell you how long a ball has been sitting in the water, it is a crapshoot. Balls absorb water and decrease performance, that has been tested and studied to death. As new as they can make them look, that doesn't tell you what is on the inside sadly.

I think the real issue at hand is the ruling body. They have constantly proven that they will stop at no length to make the game more difficult, not grow the game. Remember the groove rule....look up yearly PGA stats...you guessed it, proximity to the hole is now closer. All it did was cost manufacturing companies and consumers millions. As long as they set 100% of rules for .01% of pro golfers, there will be issues. They are trying to save about 10 courses that haven't adapted to the times and want to stay "classic" and that is fine, they can do that but they just can't host majors where level par is the benchmark. They can do what Oak Hills did and grow the rough and make a real fair test of golf.

Maybe 1 with Pat Perez. Kind of weird as the PGA has over 20 Saudi sponsors. Guess that is different though...

It was a great story, but let's be honest, he isn't some Make a Wish story. He has played in 30 PGA events and 5 majors. He isn't you average club pro. If not for having a family that he likely cares about, he would be on a tour of some level.
