The Thread Where We Discuss Golf

[Baddar]

So happy for Jason Day. 

[Meacon Keaton]

So, no interest in the PGA Championship then?

Pssh. Another major?

I was following, but the thread has been dead for the last couple tournaments, so I never even thought to come in here and discuss it.

Jason Day might still be crying.  Those tears of joy.  

[Baddar]

Tbh I only get time to watch the Majors. And I always find time to watch The Players, plus the odd event the week before a Major. I rarely keep up with the FedEx Cup so the next big event I'll watch now is likely to be The Masters next year. 

Never mind though, it's pretty stacked in 2016. The 4 majors, Olympics, and Ryder Cup. Looking forward to that already!

In terms of returns from the PGA, I only had place money for Koepka. Finau finished 10th in the end.

[Baddar]

So the WGC is this week and it's finally starting to feel like golf season again. Adam Scott is leading McIlroy by two shots. 

Not sure how much I'll get to watch for the rest of this weekend, but I'll be keeping the diary clear between the 7th and 10th April for The Masters.

Green, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, green

[Meacon Keaton]

This has been a great final day. Shame Rory kind of dropped off. Adam Scott about to put this home.

[Baddar]

My fiancée was glad that Rory didn't win because she doesn't want him dominating again like a few years ago. Even though Spieth won two majors last year, we don't seem to have him shoved down our throats as much in the Sky coverage. Other than that, I have nothing against Rory.

I like Adam Scott though, and it's good that he was able to quickly adjust to the new putting rules.

11 yr old from my hometown hit the first hole in one on Tiger's new Par 3 course ... as Tiger watched.  It's all down hill from here kid ...

[Meacon Keaton]

I love that video. And the fact that he had a perfect school attendance record until that day and he gets "rewarded" with a hole-in-one makes it even better. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Commercials work, guys. I want that TaylorMade M2 Driver more than I've ever wanted anything.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm taking the clubs out this weekend for the first time since last Fall. It's going to be good to get back in the swing of things. 

I'm still not sure if I should try to get to the US Open for a day or two this year. @damshow, do you still have any interest in going? 

[gunnar hendershow]

Probably not. It's a regret of mine I didn't go when it was at Merion or Congressional. It's in New York 2 of the next 5 years I think so I'm eyeing one or both of them. PGA is also going to be nearby the next few years.

Truth be told if King of Trios dates get announced early enough where I know I can't go I might use one of those PTO days on going to the US Open this year, but that'll be cutting it really close.

[Baddar]

Pay for my flights over @Meacon and I'll join you!

[Meacon Keaton]

I love match play tournaments. I wish they had a couple more of these throughout the year.

[Baddar]

They're really fun. 

I've had the odd accumulator bet throughout but one or two have always let me down.

Glad to see Koepka playing well. Him vs. Day in the quarters should be great. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Jason Day vs Rory is the best possible Ethan of semifinals.

[Baddar]

Nerves of steel from Day. It's Day v Oosty in the final.

Kind of fear for Cabrera-Bello a bit in the consolation match. He hasn't had a great morning. Fancy Rory to take that with 3 or 4 to spare. 

As for the final, they've both played really well all week. Really could go either way. 

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm gonna be pulling for Louie Louie just so we get something different than the weekly Day victory.

[Baddar]

Day won, then. Although watching some of that final made me realise just how slow of a player Day is.

Anyway, my main point - Butch Harmon will be on Sky for all four majors and the Ryder Cup this year. I love me some Butch.
