IbanezJem Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 You`re right, goose, whatever has happened to A/S? Is there another meaning for A/S that I`m not woke enough/not QAnon enough to know, so they had to replace it to tied? Tied is a result, not a status after one hole :rage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dormie" is out as well, replaced with "these guys are so far ahead they can't lose but could still play bad enough to afford their opponents a tie", which is rather catchy, I think.

laughedatbytime Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I don't know what's happening to golf; I've watched for two straight days and not one reference to a mashie or niblick. Ouimet is rolling over in his grave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Pretty compelling singles play going on, with DeChambeau driving greens to put a front-nine squeeze on El Nino, and Scheffler putting a 3-up beat down on #1 player Rahm so far. Morikawa, Cantlay and Johnson are following suit. Europe needs a big turnaround if a Wonder in Wisconsin is to take place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There`s nowhere near enough matchplay around at the top level (if you can even count some of the Europeans as top level). It`s such a unique course and awesome to see the views across the water, so I`ll be staying on the sofa even if it gets to 19-9 :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team outcome is settled, but the day's person to person battles going right now on are still fun to watch unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Steve Stricker may have set the new template for how to captain a US Ryder Cup team. With DJ being the oldest player at 37, Stricker's "let them do their thing" handling of a young team was just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The giant-killing that is a European win is only possible when your guys are being the archetypal selfish golfer. We need more players to play on the PGA tour all the time to raise the standard and get used to real crowds, and whilst they`re there, try and get your players to hate each other too. Thankfully, we`ll have a massively different team in Italy, without players as old as me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Bryson vs Koepka in "the match" on November 26th. Look for fisticuffs between Morikawa and Schaueffle at the first tee in Hawaii this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Bryson vs Koepka in "the match" on November 26th. Honestly, I'd rather re-watch Shell's World of Golf Snead vs. Nicholas at Pebble Beach on YouTube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
