Golf: All Purpose Golf Thread | 2017-18 PGA Tour schedule in post #1

[Dr John Carlson]

That post inspired me to go through this thread for a few minutes and find any horrible takes in retrospect that I've had. Forgot all about this...

I'm hoping Captain America wins a major next year. He's been a very good servant in team comps, I'll make sure to root for him in them next year, besides my favorites.

Your support is greatly appreciated. It definitely won't happen at Augusta because his ball-flight is not neutral enough. It most likely won't happen at the US Open because he's too inaccurate a driver, unless they keep going to 50-yard-wide fairway courses like Erin Hills. Other than that, who knows.

1st at Augusta, 4th at Shinnecock. Yikes. I found a post I made earlier that said Reed's driving/approach game was Web.com Tour-tier. Probably too spicy in hindsight but there's no doubt that he's clearly improved a ton in those aspects.

Ratings were pretty much an embarrassment. Same score as the API final round. A non-major. Valspar ratings destroyed US Open ratings.


US Open Ratings: Weekend Overnights Up, But Low - Sports Media Watch

With so many stars missing the cut, any increase is good news — but weekend US Open ratings remained at historic lows in the metered markets.Sunday’s final round of the U.S. Open earned a 3.6 overnight rating on FOX, up a tick from last year (3.5) but down 5% from 2016 (3.8).
Brooks Koepka‘s second-straight win, which peaked at a 6.1 from 6-6:30 PM ET, tops only last year and 2014 (3.3, NBC) as the lowest rated final round of the tournament on record.
This year was the fourth of the past five in which final round coverage had less than a 4.0 overnight. From 1989-2013, the final round had at least a 5.0 each year. That 25-year run included a 6.1 five years ago and an 8.5 ten years ago (when Tiger Woods won in a playoff).
The U.S. Open was not the top sporting event of the weekend. The Mexico-Germany FIFA World Cup match had a 4.3 on Telemundo (and a 3.2 on FS1).
Third round coverage on Saturday drew a 2.8 overnight, up 8% from last year (2.6) and the highest since 2015 (3.4). The 2.8 is the fourth-lowest third round overnight on record.
All four rounds of the tournament posted an increase over last year.

No casual fan wants to watch relative no names struggle to break par (yes I know DJ and Rose etc. are names to golf fans, but they aren't to casual fans).

I know some of you saw my post about Boots in the US Open thread... if I don't get good news in the next couple of days I will probably be gone indefinitely just so nobody wonders...

Just absolutely shattered at the moment...

You & Boots continue to be in my thoughts & prayers.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

There are 9 majors tied for first place right now.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Looks like J.Spieth got his groove back today. Shot a nice 63 & tied for the lead with Crybaby Zack Johnson.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

You & Boots continue to be in my thoughts & prayers.

Thanks...

I have to let her go.... she's my everything and has been the most important part of my life in every way..

She tore both ACL's and at 10 vet said there was nothing to do...

I'm beyond devastated. I don't even want to wake up tomorrow. Perfectly healthy and to lose her like this I can't even process don't think I'll ever be able to

Oh my god that's awful. I'm so sorry.

thanks wobbl...

my heart and soul has been ripped out and it feels hopeless but thank you

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm really sorry to hear that, as well. Obviously there's nothing I can say or anyone here can say that will improve the situation, but I want to send my condolences, regardless.

 

[PanthersPens62]

I am so so sorry. I know how much you love her from all the times you spoke about her. I know this won't comfort you, but at least she won't be suffering anymore. She was so very lucky to have you as her "dad".

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Thank you PP62 & Pavel... I appreciate it so much.

So sorry man. Putting down my last dog was one of the saddest days of my life. May Boots go to a better place.

Bubba Watson and Paul Casey at the Travellers. Where have we seen this before?

We've been slacking. Didn't even realize Tiger was playing today. Shot an even par 70, t49. 7 strokes off the lead

A good fight back though from a double on the front side.

He could've knocked himself out of the tournament, but didn't. Not a really impressive leaderboard. Get within five by the end of tomorrow, and he's right in this.

I didn't even see highlights or his scorecard. Did see this is his 6, first round, in a row not being below par to end the day

 

[PanthersPens62]

Tiger is -4 thru 12 holes

 

[Cody Webster]

Looks like he's having himself a day. 5 under

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

-5 round. As I said, get within five by the end of the day and we are right in this.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Nice round from Tiger.

Hossler having himself a good tournament and good season.

Who has the better career: Hossler, Cantlay or Niemann?

Considering there's a 6 year difference between Cantlay and Niemann, its not a fair comparison. I'll take Niemann, but I do like Hossler. I think he's going to be very good.

True. But I am kind of lumping Cantlay in with the other two because he missed a couple seasons with the injury and tragedy.
