I've come to accept that 90% of American tour players are going to give God as the reason they win any tournament. He does come across quite well. It's a bloody low bar mind you.

Poulter has always been a prick but his Ryder Cup stuff gives him a free pass with many. I watched him pretend to take a phone call rather than sign autographs for kids after a practice round at St Andrews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Watched the first one, and I really am a fan of Jordan and JT, but betting $200 on practice round holes, to the 40 minute private jet for a practice round is a bit off the scale. The rest will annoy me, Poulter especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing you do Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) My tickets are booked to Mayakoba for the LIV Golf kick off! Arriving Friday, tickets for Saturday and Sunday and booked a cabana on the beach in Playa del Carmen to stay in. The PGA dont come often to Mexico and its not the best field necessarily when they do, so fancied heading down to LIV as the course is next to the beach and pretty dam nice for a place to watch Golf. Flight, Hotel and Tickets all in about 650 Quid for a 4 day trip. Edited February 21, 2023 by That thing you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the team elements has scores locked in each day. So every day counts towards something beyond the individual scores. And the score counting changes too. Day 1 its 2/4 members, top 2 count. Day 2 is same and Day 3 its 3/4. Anyway, I have tickets for the last two days inc Sunday hospitality and Ill be watching Golf at one of the most beautiful courses you could wish to see.

OBE Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Doe's it still matter, with an eclectic ranking system, if there is one, who cares? If a tournament pitches up and displays pockets of the worlds alleged top 100, punters will still pitch up and watch in awe at the golf on display. @That thing you do, enjoy your trip...I'm sure you'll be entertained on and off the course.

luckyBatistuta Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Just had a great wee trip up to St Andrews. A round for my wife, myself and my two boys around The Kittocks, an overnight stay in The Fairmont and then a round for the 4 of us on the Old Course the next day. A wee panic at the tee when we arrived, as we had a 10.30 tee written down, but were informed that we had missed our 10am tee off. Thankfully we still got our 10.30 tee off😅 Great trip and now away to save to do it again. Never cost me a penny too, all paid for by sister and brother in law😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pros played college golf in a similar way. Absolutely!! I was very fortunate to be invited to Gleneagles in 2014. Even luckier to be in the Tay hospitality suite Saturday and Sunday. We hadn’t even got in to the course and the hairs on the back of my neck were bristling. You could literally cut the atmosphere with a knife. Electric!! Our fans behaved impeccably whilst simultaneously backing every drive, chip and putt with enviable vigour. I have heard time and time again via captains and players the importance of the crowd and honestly didn’t believe it. After those 2 days I witnessed first hand just how important the crowds can be. The players really do thrive on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are uploading via phone once you have selected the photos you want to upload ( add files then select from library )at the bottom of your screen it should give you the option of “show select”. From there you should be able to change it from “actual size” to “medium”. This will make the file size smaller and allow it to be uploaded.

That thing you do Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 So, after 2 days of golf heres my honest opinion being there. The team element is much more pronounced this year. More players wearing the team badge and there were groups of fans for specific teams. I like the team element alot. Crowds: id estimate around 15 to 20k over the 3 days. Pretty similar to mayakoba PGA tournaments. Fan experience: Fun, but much more could be done especially engagement beyond the tournament. Course: Stunning. Best Golf: Great long put for Birdie by Brooks Keopka we were at front of Gallery Best Moment: Raccoons stopping play on 17. Following Poulter and Smith on Saturday. Some great shots. Broadcasting: moved from You Tube to Live Golf Plus App for free viewing. It is televised in 20 countries now inc via Claro in Mexico. Go again: I would. My wife preferred the experience here to The Open at Carnoustie. More the weather and backing her team than prestige obviously. I do think theres more for fans to do when you include the free concert in the evening and interactive games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
