@GolfMonthly I think a missing analysis is the frequency of 325+ yard drives. Honestly, every shot on the broadcasts seem to blow through this mark. In turn, this is the key to birdies or better.
@LouStagner Well, sure…NLU may be a case where the narrative may not fit. That doesn’t make Jack wrong though. Manufacturers and player do share the same interest here though: Monetization objectives.
@LouStagner I never have bought the USGA analysis of slower distance gains than we see every week. Their motivations are to grow the game and by doing so, they ignored this issue as to not disenfranchise the top players and their equipment relationships.
@NUCLRGOLF@thetimes Pro golf, and all pro sports, are just monetizatuon schemes. Not I hereby lay wrong, but let’s not pretend or romanticize it. Maintaining sponsorships is the #1 focus of all the tours. That’s fine, but it is the reality.
@elonmusk Not to mention some of the accidents will have been caused/contributed by actual drivers of other vehicles or even road conditions. Lots of variables here but the data will undoubtedly support huge gains in safety.
@DanOnGolfShow I still don’t think you get it. You’re missing any sense of accountability here. You’re trying to thread a needle without thread. Journalists, even for “golf” coverage needs to be objective and fact driven, all these videos just make sure your place in Tiger’s circle is preserved
@stoolpresidente He’s the most influential person on the competition committee. Of course it’s news and should be covered. @pgat does nothing without his consent. Is he able to do so?
@FLBleacherBum@stoolpresidente It stays be reporting what’s newsworthy. The facts are always reportable in the moment. No one is asking for any judgement or opinion here.
@jennifer_zilla@stoolpresidente It’s not when you remember it’s his 4th driving incident and second rollover. Is that normal for an elite athlete/celebrity?
