Outside of declaring local rules to prevent certain paths - really not sure what the Tour can do... Fans may just have to be on the lookout - be aware of their surroundings. O b lines would help.

bostonlager 2,465 Posted July 4, 2021 Not Bryson related, but we don’t have a golf thread. I myself, have wondered what type of magic is infused into these, considering the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She games PXG. Every manufacturer is right on the razors edge with USGA requirements. It would be different if it was "anything goes" with club tech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bostonlager 2,465 Posted July 7, 2021 Thoughts on The Match Phil Mickelson - love him or hate him, he makes these things fun. It is his antics and needling of the competition that put life into this. I doubt Bryson or Rodgers will be invited back. Both are dry as toast. (although, Phil did try to get Bryson to talk, it didn't work). Off the top of my head, Spieth would probably be good. Morikawa, maybe? Tiger if he is healthy. They made mention of possibly DJ and Gretzky teaming up, but DJ is half retarded and introverted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of curiosity, why would that play as a par 4? And there were other 4's where Brady and Rodgers were hitting it 30 yards short of the green. Course seemed gimmicky.

Super dry humor but he kept making fun of Phil giving all that instruction to Brady on each shot and he was making fun of Phils classic thumbs up. He walked a few putts in. I found him entertaining enough. Brady is actually weaker. Worse golfer and wasn't talking too much trash. I think one of the few times he made me laugh was on the phone with Gronk saying he was 30 feet from the leader of the Packers, "I think". Bryson wasn't good. As the other pro, you would have hoped he would have gotten the memo to talk through shots a little more. you could tell Phil was trying to get it out of him. Hearing a little of their thought process is one of the elements that makes these things watchable. Rahm! ...

fricker66 91 Posted July 8, 2021 On the pro side, most of the young guys are pretty boring when interviewed. It is golf, after all. And if you match up a 22 year old pro with a 35 year old QB, there is a bit of a generational gap that becomes an issue. The young guy may not be willing to needle the older superstar from another sport. So, I'm not sure who you would get. I like the suggestion of Rahm -- he's kind of an old soul. If Justin Thomas wasn't outed as a homophobe, he probably would have been a good choice, but he's not going to get that kind of slot any time soon. Ricky is actually kind of boring. Morikawa seems to have a little personality, but might be just a little too nice and not yet a big enough name. We need a Lee Trevino on the current tour. He would have been outstanding for an event like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
