I think a dominant Scheffler is awful for the tour, just check this thread, basically went dead the last 9 holes, just not very entertaining unfortunatly

 

Same as any sport. 
 

Every baseball game doesn’t end in a walk off HR. Most games end like 5-2

 

Same with football soccer and basketball 

 

Someone it’s a fantastic finish. 
 

Most of the time it’s not

If a gator comes from the water at 17 and takes Scottie's clubs you think someone might have a chance with him having to finish the round with only his 56?

He woulda won with only the 56° and if the gator 🐊 took his left foot!

Everybody was too busy watching an amazing display of golf.  Didn't want to miss it spending time posting.

 

Isn't that why we watch golf?

Man, as soon as SS has a good tournament in SG putting he laps the field (total tournament was SG 10th putting (and obviously SG1 in tee shots, 12th approach, 1st around the green, and 10th putting).  If the Spider stays and thats the change he needed, everyone else is just playing for 2nd at about every tournament this year.  It's just amazing.

lol ... people wanna act like they were part of a 100 page thread when tiger was coming down the stretch with a 3 shot lead on sunday ... if they were even old enough to have watched it ...

There's not one single person on earth that hits the ball better than Scottie does. If his putter was always there; he'd win every event he showed up to. 

 

 

Congrats! You are a finalist for freshest take of the day along w/the guy that just posted a few hours ago that AK looks horrible! 
 

*you will be noticed via pm if you win.

Scheffler on his game is simply great to watch. I like the guy, he seems to be a decent person, and his game, wow. When his putter is halfway on he‘s the man to beat. Oh, and welcome back Will Zalatoris. Nice to see him play well again. And Clark is no fluke, he just happened to run into the Scheff. 

[tiderider]

starting with last year's sentry open, he's played 26 tournaments and finished out of the top 12 four times ... no mc,  4 wins, 16 other top 10s ...

Four hole playoff in Puerto Rico, much more entertaining …

[geauxt]

s*** maybe I need a mallet putter

Bet if he worked out and told everyone about it, he'd have dropped a 59 instead of a 65! 😂

They said Rory suggested the mallet putter. 

[Ronnie Mundt]

I went from half mallet to full mallet with a single bend shaft and haven’t looked back. It is more forgiving. Harder to slice putts (those that suck like me can slice putts).

[NevinW]

Great golf courses with heavy rough, reward great ball strikers.

Lower on the leaderboard I’m slightly worried for Hovland. All around a very average performance for the standards he set for himself last year. Hopefully he can find a spark soon and start challenging.

I am also a bit concerned about his start to the season. I wonder if coach hopping has messed him up or he is just not firing on all cylinders yet?

Ferg is not worried.     He knows his man.    And putter. 

Wrong yet again.  Not buying any lottery tickets for a while.

He could go with the Westwood tactic.

 

 

 

Great idea. But not enough room for me.   Eg. 7 iron: 145 - 170.    And I will never write 218 on any club. 😀🤓🏌🏼‍♀️

one of the leaders just got relief from fire ants anthill

That happens nearly every foursome round here in Austin.

 

Little f*ckers (they’re tiny, about 1/8” long) like to get me when I’m greenside in the rough studying a chip, or waiting my turn on a tee box. Feel a little tingle on your ankle, look down and see 50+ all over your shoe and ankle, and they all start stinging at once after their chemical attack signal is released. Three days until the welts stop oozing/burning/itching.

 

Or another fun way to get attacked: pick up a putter or wedge from the rough without paying attention, they’ve crawled up on the grip, and now you have ten of them stinging your hand. That’s happened to me a few times. Fun times.

 

After a big rain, we’ll see dozens of big ant mounds on every fairway. After a few years of experience, you learn to spot ‘em and to mostly avoid ‘em. And to carry a tube of After Bite in your bag.

This is 100% true. 
 

Same goes for donating to charity. If you don’t tell people did it even happen?

Same here. I swear the Carolinas are one big ant mound. Lol.

I disagree.  Tiger was never bad for the tour. He just made -some- people mad.  Parity is never a good thing long term. People want to pull for champions , and underdogs.  If everyone is a champion. Nobody is a champion.

Impressive win at Bay Hill for the world’s #1. Congrats, Scottie.
