English Turn so much cooler a course than tpc. Tpc probably more suited to pro competition in every way, but ET is the prettiest course in the area.

 

How is that course? I heard a while back it had fallen off. The first time I went to this tournament was at EnglishTurn almost 30 years ago. Saw Greg Norman and Phil and got to meet and talk to Stewart Cink for a bit.

The lore of English Turn runs deep.

leaders', at -11, back 9 is all messed up birdie at 10 to get to -7 birdie at 11 to get to -7 birdie at 16 to get to -9 birdie at 17 to get to -8 and finally birdie at 18 to get to -9

Just saw Shane Lowry's birdie putt on hole 2 and it looks like he is using a TM Spider putter and not his usual Odyssey putter.  I haven't seen anything about him changing putters.

It's beautiful. And as the starter likes to tell people, "water is in play on all 18 holes."

The neighborhood is interesting, kinda big house cc look, some really nice some kinda funky.

Well kept for the New Orleans area which I lovingly call a third world banana republic in some ways.

Paired with Keith Mitchell, what would you call Joel Dahmen's cutoff hat?  A Vucket or Bisor?  

[Justsomeguy]

Shane Lowry making Rory look good. Looks like they're gonna cruise.

I would take Scottie and some random 4 hdcp to win easily.

An empty bucket

[PedronNiall]

Dahmen's hat game has to be the most damming piece of evidence ever for those who say there's just something wrong with people who play golf. If they played clips of him in those things during interrogations even the most hardened criminals would talk. Those pate-covering atrocities and their predecessors likely caused the War of 1812, the Hatfield & McCoy fued, and all those satellites falling out of orbit as they tried to purge the ghastly sight from their high powered sensors.

Ya gotta let the salad 🥗 breathe 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Ouch. Fitzpatrick brothers just 3-putted from about 3 feet. 😳

[mosesgolf]

Maybe it’ll catch on like Martin Kaymer’s scarf did lol.  Not!!

[jimecherry]

wonder if lowry's back is starting to hurt even par thru 16. someone should tell him to lift with your glutes 😉

I didn't notice what putter he used last weekend, so I wonder if this is a change he made this week.

A mistake 

[SnowbirdTom]

I gave up trying to follow the main feed yet again.  ESPN+ just quit, couldn’t get Peacock to televise it.  “Your coverage will start

shortly.” on screen for 15 minutes. *click*

Main feed ended 45 minutes ago, my friend. 

 

It's on Golf Channel now. 

[NormanFan]

I much prefer alternate shot to four ball.  So funny to see guys put their partner in bad spots and shrug.

Good for the Golf Channel. Done spending money chasing the PGA.  Just so happens my ESPN+ is up for renewal.  Bzzt!  Scratch one viewer.

Fair 'nuff. I have Hulu Live TV which not only includes Golf Channel but also bundles ESPN+. So I don't really think about it much because I view it as I'm paying "for TV" not "for golf streaming", and the excellent golf options are a bonus. 

 

But if I had to look at ESPN+ as a marginal expense, and didn't have a cable/streaming live TV solution which included Golf Channel, I'd be hard pressed to consider golf content as worthy enough to cause me to pay more for it.
