Yup.  Gets called out for trolling, and then quadruples down with total nonsense.  Brooke Henderson is just one example of a professional golfer who chokes up on the grip, and doesn't have "vibration issues".

T136

 

Considering there's only 130 players that's not too good.

To be absolutely fair 😉 he is T136, but only beat 2 players out of 144 (now 143 due to a WD).

 

Scorecard of the Macau Golf and Country Club is interesting... Nearly 100 yds SHORTER than Hong Kong GC at 6637 yds (par 70).  Some long par 3s on the back.

Well, excuse me for thinking out loud....I guess we'll have to rely on your every word as the gospel truth...🫡

We all know that is not what is going on here.  Feel free to back up your thoughts with facts though.  The poor attempts at deflecting are not working for you.

Second round 70, +4 overall, tied 129th, together with fellow Livers Lee and Chacarra.

This was always about revenge....

Found a steath shot of AK on course.  This is a needle mover?  Really?

Serious Q, if he's struggling at 6600 yards, what's he going to do at Doral which is....1,000 yards longer?

[ahenderX]

Just read a Golf Monthly article which stated it was AK’s first missed cut in 12 years.

Struggle even more.

 

EDIT: That was a serious answer.

What professional golf course are they playing at 6600 yards?

The one they are playing this week is 6637 - sorry I rounded down because I couldn't remember the exact yardage off the top of my head when I wrote that.

Prediction:  what Doral is set up to play for that event won't be close to what it should play for a pro event.

 

Second prediction: I won't invest any time verifying Prediction One.

That's fine. I'm just trying to figure out if they get ranking points for playing this tiny obsolete course.🙂

[Hawkeye77]

Stated Tour average for 2024 = 7344 yards, only two under 7000.  (LOL, Google took me to an article from a betting outfit, so pretty sure they have it right, lol). 

 

I really don't care how long the courses are other tours are playing or LIV sets up for its events, but definitely a fair point as noted above to keep yardages and setups in perspective.

Fair enough. But if other people are right that he's very short of the tee relative to the rest of the guys - and he's struggling to get out of the bottom 5 on very short courses - I think its reasonable to wonder if thats going to get better when he's playing 800-1,000 yards longer.

I will be sure to triple check my notes and references next time I think of a random musing...😇

AK would be perfect for my golf league, 6,200 yards max. He'll be able to string up 3 wins in no time at all...

As long as he gets to play the same as you as a 16.9 handicap.

I understand why AK out there and most of the others 

 

But why GMac there? For owgr?

 

He ranked #710

 

Not like he gonna get any substantial points for this and if he did, what would it matter?

Might be mandatory, who knows.....seeing as how a lot of 54ers were in the field.

They may have to rep the brand on some off weeks.

Because these dudes have now clearly outsmarted all of us. 
 

LIV paying them to go miss cuts? Big money to go play 36 holes and then GTFO?

 

Brilliant!

Yeah and don’t forget they get to spend more time with their families

 

It’s not like Macau is much of a hike or anything
