Simulator Build 1
Start with a double garage that you can't access with a car (too complicated to explain).
5m X 5m X 2.4m.

@capturehappy Do we think he'll be a David Duval / Johnny Miller / Jordan Spieth type of talent?
Burn very brightly for 4 or 5 years and then stuggle to replicate the same heights.

@DPWorldTour Did he sue her afterwards?

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@carters_golf @bryanbrosgolf @TheOpen Finally...

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@capturehappy Easy Fix
Make all the player wear shock collars.
They have to finish each 9 hole stretch in 2 hours otherwise ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Would be entertaining for the spectators as well.

@capturehappy @MrShortGame @YourGolfTourYGT Everyone thinks they deserve a part of the action if there's money involved.
Sadly, I wonder if money will kill YouTube Golf as the relatability will go away.
Not to mention that the Barstool thing last year was a dumpster fire of controversy.

@bunkeredgolf Another promising career that had peaked far too early and has now literally sank into oblivion utilising all the latest 'innovations' LIV brought to pro golf (rather over-clocking the irony here).

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@capturehappy Yep, it's not a test for these guys, has no business being a @PGATOUR venue
If there was a place for meaningless low scoring tournaments on courses set up for minimum difficulty, LIV might have survived.
Actually they wouldn't survive but you get the idea.

@PeterFinchGolf Question that maybe a collab with @DJSnM could answer.
Can carbon fibre driver faces really hold their properties?
Carbon fibre is not great under compression and molecular bonds break
Metal has a memory
Is this why TM's staffers struggle to find a consistently performing club?

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@GolfChannel Scottie is brilliant, but is this really the sort of challenge the best players in the world should be competing on?

Might as well go full LIV soft course / easy pin mode.

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@capturehappy Couldn't agree more...

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@SkySportsF1 Hmmm. no-one else seems to be struggling, it's always been adapt or fall behind and no-one has benefitted more from reg changes in recent years.
And you can only get away with conning an FIA official to throw the rulebook away once...

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@MMcEwanGolf Yep, another jackass removed.
Let's hope that this is another step towards civility in the professional game.
The next step is how to get @rydercup tickets in the hands of Golf Fans and not 'Sports' Fans.

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

It's amazing that you can run into a @RyderCupEurope legend like @mcginleygolf at a golf club and he will still assume you don't know who he is.
Legendary but unassuming and a credit to Golf.

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@AlanShipnuck Working title 'Let LIV Die'?

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@SkySportsF1 No, bit of youthfull over-enthusiasm.
Great to see the aggression but George can't make his car disappear and was always going to get thrown sideways off the curb.
Kimi will learn and get better.

While there are many people celebrating the demise of LIV, for far too long there were far too many mute mouths about the cancer that LIV was and is.

It tilted the game towards greed. It muddied the meritocratic aspects of golf. It’s likely that the philanthropic foundations of this game will, to some extent, be eaten into to fund the future equity of PGA Tour players. It stalled, or killed, the trajectory of hall of fame players. It divided the game.

The only win, as I see it, is that LIV sought to launder the atrocities of the Saudis, but instead it further highlighted them.

As LIV players sold their autonomy, the whole sport seemed to be in the throes of transition, from professionalism to authoritarianism.

But the golf world knew that the Saudis were not interested in golf and that sport has norms that are worth preserving.

Money, not for merit, but for the murky purposes of sportwashing crowds out those norms.

It is in the striving to get better that one gets richer, that is the transformative influence of sport; both the athlete and audience benefit from the norms of competition. Sportswashing, what MBS/PIF were attempting to do with LIV by paying athletes for their celebrity to confer legitimacy on their murderous regime, reverses this process because it is only ostensibly about the competition, it is primarily about the obfuscation of the horrors of the regime. Both the athlete and the audience are robbed of the transformative influence of sport and what they are participating in and watching is merely a facade, a base amusement.

So it is no surprise that almost nobody watched.

Good riddance to the Saudi backed LIV.

@GolfDigest Great players depend on great caddies.
For those who loop for reasonable players, they rely on cuts made to have more than a basic living income.
Having an unprofessional boss who seems unable to take responsibility for his actions and costing you money must be hard to accept.

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@GolfDigest Quick lesson in corporate finance, all business plans show a path to profitbility
No business will raise funds with a plan that says we will be burning cash forever.
Even worse are the idiots out there who still fall for obvious money bonfires like Open AI

[Kevin Tinmouth @KevFlamingo]

@GolfDigest Does close mean 'if Rai was forced to play another Par 3 there could have been a play-off'
Close is a shot, not an entire hole.
