I do agree with Azinger on him telling Cantlay to “stop walking” on 14. Seems like it disturbed Bryson more just to mention it, and Cantlay made birdie 5 minutes later. As a golf fan, I really loved Bryson’s performance, but he didn’t make any friends with telling Cantlay off and keeping silent the rest of the way. I hope they shook hands, didn’t even notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The ugliest swing in Canada! Just kidding, I’m making lots of progress. Decided to actually hit a bucket for the first time, after playing a dozen or so rounds since late June. Got lots of feedback, I would hit 15 balls, check the footage, and go back. The weight has to come down much further, and the flexibility has to be increased, but my distances went way up in this session. Anxious to get on the course again, was very depressed after my last round, but that’s what happens when it’s 100F outside, and you don’t take a cart or enough water.…The cooler weather coming up, I will play much better FullSizeRender.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Tour Championship leaderboard….I’ve never really liked this format, but I guess it’s geared to reward the previous 11 months of play and almost ensure the winner comes from the top 6(or so). No doubt Cantlay is looking good, but it’s early….🇨🇦 Conners -3 on the day so far, will take a miracle but oh how a win and that $15M would change his life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just heard on the broadcast that even though Patrick Reed is playing, he could have died from COVID/pneumonia and is still having his oxygen levels monitored. Doctors were telling him to text his family regularly, in case he took a turn for the worse. Scary stuff…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Just saw some controversy in the Solheim Cup. Nelly Korda hit a winding putt that just stayed out, and as she fell to her knees, the Euro player just picked up the ball as a concession. The official then ruled because it seemed to be hanging on the lip, and Korda is allowed a full 10 seconds before she walks up to tap in, the “interference” means that putt is deemed “in”and results in USA winning the hole. My $.02…if it hadn’t dropped after 7 seconds, it was NOT going in- look at my photo. But why did the Euro lady just not leave it alone??? Definitely a mental mistake there. Especially with USA playing at home, seems like a very biased call that was just confirmed 5 minutes later. I guess in match play you eventually will see it all, and the rules are very important- stroke play a player would never touch another’s ball, period. Anyway it gives the USA a 1-UP lead, could be pivotal BTW, I had heard of Charley Hull 🏴, but after seeing her Instagram, wow! Great golfer with the looks to go with it Edited September 4, 2021 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you…..those greens aren’t Augusta, and when a ball DOES fall after a long wait, it’s when a good portion is hanging over…..the official said “some part” WAS. I don’t see that. Anyway, USA won 1-UP, so that BS cost Euros .5 point. Euros should be leading 6-2 or so, it’s only Day 1 though and every point still counts. Hope they give the Yanks a good thrashing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they give the Yanks a good thrashing Yup, it was summed up when she said, I would never dream of picking a ball up that was close to falling into the hole. Golf rules are built around whether a player gains an advantage in a situation, clearly with the US being well behind a biased decision was made. Oh I wonder where it is being played........ I too hope Karma plays it's cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Just saw Korda being interviewed, she kept insisting it was 100% the referee’s call. If the Americans had any honour, they would have conceded one of the next 5 holes to even things out. That ball was never going in, personally I know I would never want to win that way. Went to Twitter to see the comments and 95% of people agree, the other 5% are just diehard American fans who want to win at any price. The Euros won’t be vindicated by the media either I’m afraid, Golf Channel broadcast and American analysts Edited September 4, 2021 by Golfingboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euros won’t be vindicated by the media either I’m afraid, Golf Channel broadcast and American analysts We have honour in our football here, if a player is injured the oposition would put the ball out so that the player can get medical help, on restarting the game the other team that had the ball would give it back, there has been an occasion where this has gone wrong and a goal has been scored. In that case the ref has to award the goal, but on restart all of the players would stand aside and let a player run through to an open goal to score to balance it out again. Long may the sporting spirit rise above the result at all cost. The Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

Golfingboy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 5.5-2.5 Euros, but still a long way to go, and that 1/2 point could still be a factor. Hope they dominate tomorrow and almost clinch it before Monday singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Oh my there are some stupid people at golf tournaments. Bryson had a bad day and is out of it, and hits a wild drive on 18. He’s convinced it’s in play, and at first I’m thinking “sure Bryson”, because often he can’t accept when he hits a bad shot, and in this case it was a driver way offline. Well Bryson was right to be confused, the ShotLink satellite camera caught a fan picking up the ball, and pocketing it. He got a drop and launched an iron to the green, 2 putting for birdie.

So now they saying that if a put is given from 2 feet away they can claim it as dropping? Like I said before, the US should be asamed of themsleves.

Watching The Golf Channel’s nightly 7 pm Golf Central, first story was still the Tour Championship, now they are spending some good time on the controversy. Brandel Chamblee, who I’ve always respected for his golf knowledge and brutal honesty, is the only one of the 4 American commentators to definitely side with Sagstrom…..Bravo Brandel! How Brandel kind of summed it up is, the 4 players were fine with just leaving as is…..the official (Missy Jones) decided to interfere and overstep her bounds. I have a feeling that she will be in the spotlight now and hopefully loses whatever job she has for future competitions. Shouldn’t be an official anymore IMO, turned a non-issue into a victory for her home team Edited September 4, 2021 by Golfingboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
