I enjoyed golf more without the fans. The roars for big putts and such are nice but they don't outweigh, for me, the shitheads that go to events and say and yell dumb-ass ****.

i'm also in the no crowd camp like KJ seems to be. US golf fans are stupid as **** and i don't want to hear their spew.

i often wonder if the people doing that stuff bet heavily on the other side

Yes I hate to generalize as I know it's a minority of people acting like jerks... but why can Euro tour fans act normal while so many US fans feel the need to act like absolute idiots? I just don't get it.

count me in the "no fans" group. vocal minority are just soooooo annoying.

i did think it was cool when the only fans were the people that lived on the course. they seemed nice and polite. although they were probably just relieved that there houses weren't in danger of being hit for a week.

Couldn't the tour just start tossing fans who yell stupid stuff? It seems like people would get the message before too long and things would settle down.

JB Holmes finally makes a cut (barely), fires his caddy (Kip Henley) Friday night, then proceeds to play way worse Saturday and Sunday. I get there's a lot going on with that relationship; I find it pretty interesting.

In Kip's words, "our personalities couldn't have been more different."

Cink played better after firing Kip, so I guess it was worth a shot.

next chapter of the drama: JB hires Cink's son

GB&I not out of this thing.

Players are making short work of this course.

Was watching Greatest Rounds on golf channel last night and it was the 1999 PGA championship at Medinah (Sunday when Woods won but Sergio stole the show) and the fans were straight up booing at times. Jim Nance and others called it embarrassing. Guess my point is it hasn't really changed much over the years. I do eye roll at the constant "it's so great to have the fans back" rhetoric.

SPEEEF with the 55 foot eagle on #18 to tie for the first round lead.

in the battle of the harringtons, who had paddy ahead of scott after the first round?

Could be several players -30 or better, crazy

are both related to action dan or just one?

Cool story from the Euro tour, 48yo Richard Bland was winless in 478 previous starts, finally got his first win today.

i was watching the British Masters this morning when it happened. saw him bomb a big birdie putt on 18 to get his final total, and then he has to wait around for over an hour to find out he was going to be in a playoff.



Migliozzi was in one of the last groups and tied with him going into 18, hits a poor tee shot and plugs in the rough just to the right of a fairway bunker. he gets relief in thick rough and proceeds to hit a hell of a shot from 210 out over water into a greenside bunker, and gets up and down to finish tied.

Bland hit his drive on the first playoff hole (18) just off the edge of the fairway and it settles into a divot. he plays a 5w and the bottom of the club was barely at the equator of the ball. this was the result:



the winner's interview. as they said, he had one bogey in four rounds at the Belfry...such impressive stuff.

I was watching the British Masters, Was rooting so hard for him (I'm from the UK) ... That 5 Wood was awesome to watch though came out like a bullet.

Them playing on Wednesday to Saturday completely threw me off, I kept on thinking Friday was Saturday and Saturday was Sunday

Can't really tell from the gif, did he skip it over the pond?

no

yeah, apologies about that gif, it's really choppy

Watched a good chunk of the coverage Thursday and Saturday, glad to see a lot of video of Speef. For whatever reason, watching his swing does good things for my own.

Not nearly as interested in yesterday's TV, I guess the only time I really enjoy watching golf being played in the rain is at the British Open/Open Championship.

Can someone tell me why Sammy Burns is 60 to 1 to win the PGA? Shouldn't he be much shorter than that?

I’m seeing 40-45/1?
