one yard wide fairway.

I’ve said it before, but the European DP tour creates great content.   Amazing that they hit the fairway,   But their dispersion pattern was fairly wide

Recycling something I posted on Twitter:

I'm thinking the DP Tour should just release videos of nothing but Tyrrell Hatton trying to do almost impossible things. Land a shot in a golf ball sleeve. Do sudoku puzzles with the minimum clues. Whatever. It's just enjoyable to watch him lose his mind.

Other things I'd watch Tyrrell do:

• Use cheap plastic wrap without it getting stuck to itself
• Plug in USB cables the first try
• That tee game at Cracker Barrell
• Follow groups that don't repair ball marks
• Try to set the world record for club speed—for a thrown club

I agree 100%.  Thats was just great! I wish some more PGA guys would go and play European Tour events.  I hope they find a way to make it thrive.  The DP Tour also used to do the 500 ball challenge to get a hole in one on a par 3.  It was awesome, guys would get so mad even though its so hard.  Watch a few!

Not sure if PGA has followed suit, but I like how they talk to players mid round walking down the fairway.

I've seen that type of stuff posted on here before and on various social media channels.  The DP tour is leaps and bounds ahead of the PGA tour for social media content.    Some to the manufacturers do this type of content; primarily TM.  The hit 500 ball challenge really shows how wide their dispersion is even when repeatedly hitting from the same spot with no pressure.

Have i said how much I love Hatton! Amazing and so funny go see all of those guys at it... Awesome video.

That was a fun video and I was shocked to see one land and stay on. It was just amazing to see shots hit the strip and roll off. 

I've seen the 500 shot challenges and am really impressed by the social media presence the DP TOUR has. I'm definitely going on Twitter and giving them a follow after this. 

Thanks for sharing!

Hatton had the best comment to Morikawa when he was getting frustrated: "Throw it.  It doesn't make you a bad person."

I mean he isn't wrong... Would kinda love to see Morikawa go full Hatton/Rahm or Sergio but just can't quite picture it.

I hope the USGA doesn’t see this.  They might use it as a guide for setting up the course for the US Open.

It actually does suggest what to do if you're on the side that thinks the ball goes too far: pave the rough. Preferably with moguls. Make it so that if you miss the fairway, you literally have no idea where your ball might end up.

I'm not saying it's a good idea. But I am saying that it would put a premium on hitting the fairway.

Meanwhile, the PGA seems to be having issues clarifying who won last seasons PIP booty .

We do know who finished out of the top ten and earned $0.00

Rumor also has Tiger as #2.   and per Pat Perez; who things the program is BS:   

Perez, 45, spoke of how Woods "damn near killed himself" and posted one swing video which attracted more than 10 million views. 

"If that doesn't win then I don't know what does," Perez said, later adding: "I think the PIP is an absolute joke."

I agree with Mr. Perez .
