My golf course was closed for public play last Monday for a regional Pro-Am.  I used to play in those many years ago, but the price has more than doubled since then.  Anyway, I went into our only golf store in our area today looking for shoes (didn't find any I liked).  The owner played in the Pro-Am and showed me a picture of his signed scorecard.  He shot 61, missed a putt on the last hole for a 60.  Oh, and he rarely ever plays my course.  And he's a lefty.

Got two tests to study for that I have on Monday. One is the scheduled test and one because I failed one by 4 questions two weeks ago. Studying for 2 opposite tests is a pain but gotta do what I gotta do.

What's up with Bryson? Seems to always be a blip on the “is it illegal” radar. First the side saddle putter, now a compass? What's next? Helium filled golf balls?

Gotta be hydrogen. No “mad scientist” uses helium these days.

The compass was ridiculous! That's gotta be illegal, right? That's similar to using a range finder for yardage's which isn't done on tour.

IMO, a compass is no different than a green map, which tells you every break on the green. Those should be illegal.

Anyone who gets bent out of shape over Bryson's use of a compass and doesn't get bent out of shape over Phil's fiasco last week or Jimmy Walker admitting to helping fellow competitors cheat should give up the game, immediately! 

 

I would venture a guess that most people aren't familiar with the style of compass he was using anyway.  He's not Red from Shawshank Redemption!

 

But that's just my opinion.  I can be pretty cantankerous sometimes!

That too! But combining a compass with the green map can give you the exact distance of putts just like when you are working through a cartography map. Get rid of all of that crap and make these guys actually read putts.

 

(This probably will also move to the rant thread)

Should have made its own thread!

Probably, but it's more just me yelling for these pros to “get off my lawn.” Which is weird because I'm generally in favor of people using technology and brain power as much as possible to their advantage.

I'm not sure there's anything wrong with what he was doing. His explanation was that the hole location sheets are sometime off just a bit so he was charting where the hole actually was back to his green map. None of that is against the rules. At the moment anyway

The one neighboring town of mine had a festival this past weekend. The party name was called the Hootenanny, it sounds like something out of the Ole Grey book.

I truly love golf and this is a great forum.Just noticing a trend whenever I search online.Im noticing most online forums have really gotten slow traffic the last few years Any topic I've searched that has a forum

 

Is it because of Instagram and other social media outlets?

Keep it in the short stuff

I'm just trying to figure out how a compass that is used in 1st grade mathematics to make circles could be illegal. How can that possibly be a competitive advantage for him. Taking numbers from a provided pin sheet, and then charting them exactly to his own yardage book and greens sheet. I don't see an issue. The same with Phil's putt, how is there an issue, the rule says 2 stroke penalty. That's what he took and placed a 10 on the scorecard. He broke a rule, and took the penalty for breaking said rule. What else was there to do.

Watching the European Tour this morning on Golf Channel... the French Open.  Fun listening to the different type of commentary that we get from US broadcasts.  

 

Announcer:  "He didn't get a correct strike on the ball."

Translated by Kenny B:  "He chunked it."

 

Announcer:  "He played that bunker shot to perfection."

Comment by Kenny B:  "He was lucky he got that shot over the lip."

 

Announcer:  "We've been waiting to see Sergio putt consistently."

Kenny B:  "I'm still waiting"

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”
