Phil is looking good. Never heard about the players not liking Phil . Why not ?

I know there's been some controversey over clubs and putting recently, but how do you cheat in golf? You swing, you hit the ball, hopefully it goes in the hole. It's not like the ball is corked or anything.

I’m guessing you’re not a golfer, there’s so many ways to cheat, golf is the one sport where you really can actually cheat. Maybe not as much on Tour but lower levels and recreationally it’s very easy.

Moving your ball out of the way of an obstacle, adjusting your lie out of rough/sand, not counting all your strokes, dropping a lost ball and not taking strokes.

and not so much “cheating” but I’ve played with a lot of people who just give themself 5-6 foot putts that they would miss a decent amount of time like they were tap ins

Phil's got a reputation of being arrogant in the past. I think guys generally like him these days though.

This is all cheating 100% on tour and worthy of penalty, but unless you are playing serious recreationally or competing with a friend it isn't a big deal.

When I golf I don't even keep score and routinely improve lies and don't putt out. I'm just having fun, not trying to tweak something muscling a ball out of deep rough.

I know Brooks isn't 100% but the guy's going up against a senior citizen how is he folding to him lmao

Ill move my ball off cart paths, tree-roots, rocks, and some other hard-pan lies, mainly because I don’t wanna scratch or f*** my clubs up. Other than that I try to play it as it lies and be (somewhat) honest.

And If your ball rotates a Revolution in the rough when you ground or take the club back, who gives a f***. I don’t take a stroke for stuff like that.

Only thing that irks me is when people who say they shot this great number and what not doing the things I originally mentioned, when their scores aren’t really legit at all

 

[Hall of Faber]

Lol we posting about moving balls and look at what happens

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Tiger could do it on one knee, Brooks can't, that's why Tiger is the GOAT.

ye, when I go with my friend and he's like I shot this, yeah but you had multiple gimmies you didn't score.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I know there’s been a bunch of crazy multiple shot swings, but that’s it for Brooks.

Insert golf twitters favorite gif ‘Vince Carter it’s over’

The Par 5s absolutely killed him

 

[Maestro84]

I bet Tiger is inching to get on tour seeing what's going on right now. If Phil (who's 5.5 years older and an inferior golfer to him) can come out and do this at his age, Tiger has to be liking his chances if he can make a full recovery from his injuries from the crash

[Dr John Carlson]

It's to the point where Phil's really gotta blow it not to win...

I'm not a golfer, which is kinda why I asked the question.

Whoops

apologies if it came of condescending.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Not at all. I've actually been thinking about social activities one can do post Covid and lockdowns and I keep returning to the whole Golf thing. Also, my friend is a golfer. I'm probably going to really suck at it, but I am looking for ways to be more social, and there is always golf.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I've really enjoyed the scenery of this golf course this weekend. My closest course is Pebble Beach and that is always fun, and seeing this course reminds me of Pebble quite a bit. Maybe this one is a lot more out in the open, but with the ocean in the background it's really picturesque.

Back to back bogies. Trying to make it interesting
