Watched the Trump vid, fair play he's an absolutel golf nerd ๐ค
But he's not even within 10 shots of a 2.5 handicap slicing it 210 of the tee and putting like he's on a bouncy castle ๐
Haven't hit a ball for 9 months. Day off work. Beautiful day. Playing with top lads. Lovely course. Fresh Pro Vs. Bacon sarnie.
Got about 45 mins more of this feeling before I realise I'm actually crap at golf.
@FulwellGC
The Open leaderboard is always a bit different
Makes you think the "best players in the world" might not actually be the best players in the world
Just the best at playing American golf courses in polo shirts
This golf is just so good to watch
Players actually having to hit different kinds of shots compared to bog standard events showing how freakishly good they are
Probably ducked out of golf coverage for a couple of years now...
Reason being Daughter/New Job/Watched it too much...
Tune in and wonder what comms are talking about?
๐ฃ๏ธ "What do you think about Bryson using same length irons?"
Can someone help?
Haven't consumed any golf TV or social media for months
What's the narratives?
LIV vs Tour?
Same Augusta clichรฉs?
Young stars coming through?
Iโve purchased something I thought I never wouldโฆ..GOLF IRON COVERS. Iโm sick of the clanking and clicking from the clubs in the boot. Mock me, call me namesโฆI donโt care. Ahhh silence whilst driving. My life is complete. ๐
We ended up talking about referees instead of talented players.
We end up debating laws rather than great tactics and team performances.
Unfortunately it's what the masses want. They want Love Island, Mr Beast and load of other shite I can't get my head around.
It's very boring.
Football has an attention economy issue. Controversy beats actual sporting fairness. Tribalistic banter beats a boring 2-0 result.
Traditional media and social get a lot more engagement from controversy than a professional performance.
It's not the beautiful game.
