The music is an interesting topic.  Guess I could see it for the range, but on course seems very odd and certainly distracting to me as a viewer.  I can't image the idea can from the players. So who is the brain child beyond the idea?

 

They obviously read GolfWRX.

 

"Hey, anytime anyone posts about playing music on the course, it gets a TON of responses! Often the thread gets locked! So we should crank up the tunes during the golf!"

If you watch any of the Bryan Bros vids with Jon Rahm, he says over and over he regularly plays golf with music.  In fact, they can't play music on YT because of copywrite issues, so he comments on it regularly about how quiet it is.  

 

This is yet another old crumudgeon GolfWRX topic that gets brought up every single event.

here's a quote i like  "if your good you dont have to tell people they'll tell you" niemann should put that on a shirt and wear it at the masters ;}

The whole tour needs to learn this ... Quit pimping yourself constantly and just let the good golf speak for itself.

Just because Rahm does it doesn't mean we all have to like it. 

 

But you are correct ... It's there, everybody knows it's there, why do we discuss it every event?

because they never play the music i like ;}

I'm distracted by the music but I like the different courses, the format, the announcers and most of my favorite players play on the LIV

With the amount of land available in Hong Kong, from the looks this is a very claustrophobic course. As to AK, all I would like to see is improvement from last week. If his game rounds out enough to start shooting par or better over the course of the year, then the comeback is on target.

[tatertot]

Wow ... Another self-serving "op-ed" piece interrupting golf. 

 

LIV really is taking on the personality of Norman ... Self-promoting "victim" who always deserves more (in their own eyes) because of over-inflated egos.

Replay is on CW now, checked it out for a few min. Music more noticeable this week. Too much good college hoops on this weekend plus Willy Z! 

[geauxt]

I might be imagining it but it looks like Wolff’s backswing is much more exaggerated on his actual swing than his practice swings (which is almost backwards of what you’d expect).

 

just an observation

I watched parts of the second round on free YouTube for breakfast, together with 9.000 (!) other enthusiasts. I love the old style layout of the place. It’s not too hard for the good players. Attendance was so-so, the bleachers on 17 and 18 look massive but there are not too many people in there, it seems. 
 

I asked myself two things: 

 

Why do they keep playing loud music? This doesn’t attract younger people, it disturbs the viewer‘s experience. The atmosphere is like when they play a golf tournament next to a State Fair. 
 

Second: Is is just me, or does it seem that none of the players really seems to care what he does out there? The only one who seems pissed if he hits a bad shot is Jon Rahm. No celebrating good shots, no swearing when they miss. They all just plod along, like in a practice round. There is no there there. 

I think it’s just you. They’re trying.

And they all start every time with “I just put it on for a moment to see what this is all about. Is it just me, or…”

It's golf, but louder 🎶

[jimecherry]

ak's birdied 2 of his first 4 holes today bizarro times

[Pops99]

Foltz: "Numbers don't lie. Unless they're part of a golf ranking system." lol

 

I thought they'd dropped this issue, as per King Greg's orders.

They need to wear anklet pants and no socks just like Justin Thomas. Showing your ankles makes you play better. 😉

[mosesgolf]

AK making a Sunday charge -3 on his round.  I’m liking his upside once the rust wears off and he gets his groove back. 

[notsohard]

AK playing well....going to script...(conspiracy theory)..Rippers doing well. Cam getting in the groove for the Masters...another conspiracy theory. Sport betting houses should offer odds on LIV/PGAT boys winning Majors. Adds to the fuel, us vs them.

Anthony Kim will be playing in an asian tour's International Series Macau next week

[ashortgame]

This is pretty good coverage. I think the commentary is a lot better too, they seem to making Arlo White take more of a back seat. The less of Arlo White the better IMO. 

[ashortgame]

What happened to Tyrell's putter?

Yes, one of the 17 tournament invitations. Good on him.

[notsohard]

AK -5 so far...a big win.
