@Nickolgolf Draws

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

6-2 Notre Dame
• Best win: #19 USC
• Lost to Miami

7-1 Louisville
• Best win: #18 Miami
• Didn’t lose to Miami

Going to Miami and losing, then choking at home to Texas A&M, is 5 spots more impressive than going to Miami and winning and only having 1 loss.

Makes sense.

There's one really simple way to drastically improve the FedEx Cup Playoffs without completely blowing it up...

💡Get rid of FedEx Cup Points in the playoffs:
Top 50 in Memphis move on.
Top 30 at BMW move on.
TOUR Championship played straight up.

⬇️ Long post coming...

1) This ensures all golfers play every event. If they skip an event, they are out. Fans, sponsors, the TOUR all benefit from the best players teeing it up in the playoffs.

2) From a competitive angle, if you can't advance in the top 60-70% of a field over four rounds, you don't deserve to win the TOUR Championship anyway.

3) Imagine the drama when we get a 5-for-1 playoff to see who advances to the next round.

4) The final standings actually mean something. Who finished 5th in the 2024 FEC Standings? No one knows/cares because the system is convoluted. This would create an easy hierarchy of a "successful season" or not. Think Peyton Manning and his first round exists. Now imagine asking Rory McIlroy why he hasn't made it out of the first round in three straight years! 🥵

The whole "blow it out" thing probably isn't going to happen with how many stakeholders there are. This is a much more reasonable answer that should improve the playoffs for everyone.

[Monday Q Info @acaseofthegolf1]

Ok, I'm not writing and having someone edit it. Off we go.

Andre Chi just Monday Q'd for the Valspar. He was an ok junior golfer, but only got d3 offers. His freshman year at Methodist he averaged 77. Played 2 events.

Improved each year, won the D3 National Championship his Senior year.

Always dreamed of pro golf. But didn't have the financial means to do it. His dad is a dental tech, his mom works part time as a nanny.

So after school got an assistant pro job at Deepdale in New York. Played a bunch of section events, had some small wins.

Tried Q-school last year, missed by two. Came down to florida for the winter. Living by himself, playing section events. Going broke.

Signed up for the pre-q, put it on his credit card. Shot 66 in the pre-q. Today shot 67 in 30mph wind. Gets through.

Besides section events and state opens has never really played a legit event. A friend of mine is at the Monday and says call Ryan.

He calls and I say congrats. He says thank you and then "what do I do?" He has no idea how anything works, where to go, where to park, how to registers, etc.

I walk him through that, then ask where he is staying tonight. And he tells me is $1500 in the hole. Has $60 left in his checking.

I get him a hotel for the night.

This is why Mondays are great. This doesn't happen in any other sport. None. He's a "nobody" (and I mean that in a good way). An asst pro of a club in New York. He played D3. He's never played an event on a legitimate tour.

And on Thursday he's going to play on the PGA Tour.

God Bless Mondays.

I still don’t understand how this wasn’t a TD. Possession and he’s down. Play is over at that point.

Since the @Avalanche fans had "stand with Naz" signs, on Friday do @StLouisBlues fans need "we limp with Jordan" signs?
