I post so rarely, but this deserves it. @McIlroyRory absolute bad-assery @TheMasters was as an amazing grind it out tournament as I’ve ever seen. Unreal.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

That was true emotion. Well done and deserved.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

Wow crazy day. Never seen so many awfully long and short iron shots by a professional golfer

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@ianmeah can you please tell me another sport where looking for your competitors ball is even possible? OMG.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@LIVTracking Step away from the bong!!!!!! NOW!!!!

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@EnergyTransfer whoever is doing your golf ads has no clue about how to actually golf. Wrong handed, wrong glove hand, wrong handed club…… Seriously.

@NUCLRGOLF @ziregolf What LIV event was this at?

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@GrowTheGolfGame @ericcbarnes @TheMasters I love all the LIV parody sites. So funny.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@GrowTheGolfGame @TheMasters Wait didn’t one of the events never finish, as they only played 54 holes in regulation, with a shotgun start, and a golf ball cannon on one of the holes?

@NFL @dallascowboys to ensure the Cowboys can win the NFL is releasing new referee uniforms.

@LouStagner @USGA is worried about courses built in the 1900’s without modern machinery where the white privileged golfer wore a suit and tie and used wooden clubs and shafts and a ball that couldn’t even sniff a tour balata from 1990. Time to move on.

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

Golf courses are increasing in size because the golf ball goes farther!

Golf courses have to build a ton of new tee boxes because the golf ball goes farther!

ARE THESE STATEMENTS TRUE?

They must be true.... Right????

Lucky for us the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America has run multiple surveys over the last 18 years (2005, 2015, and just recently in September of 2022).

This survey is part of the Golf Course Environmental Profile and it is done to help enhance best management practices and quantify environmental benefits.

In each of the survey years, they are measuring the land-use and energy practices of golf facilities.

Median Acres of a Golf Course:
2005: 149 acres
2015: 147 acres
2022: 146 acres

Golf courses have been getting smaller!

SAY WHAT?!!??!

Size of Fairways:
2005: 28.8 acres
2015: 27.7 acres
2022: 27.1 acres

The amount of land taken up by fairways has been getting smaller!

Size of Tees:
2005: 3.0 acres
2015: 3.1 acres
2022: 3.1 acres

Tees have increased 0.1 acres.

Summary:
I see claims that distance is causing golf courses to expand their footprint, increase the size of fairways, and build a lot more tees.....

The reality is that over the last 18 years:
- The median size of a golf course decreased
- The median size of fairways decreased
- The median size of tees increased 0.1 acres

@JasonGarrett Brock was Purdy good today. I guess just being a “complimentary” player gets you a 148.8 rating.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@PGATUOR @PaulAzinger as you’ve done your entire broadcasting career please talk about how it’s all about the money.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@JasonGarrett “for the Cowboys to win @dak needs to be a complementary player.” Next time you need 26 yards on the final play maybe throw it more than 23 yards.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@es3_09 Threw a 23 yard pass in front of 6 Eagle players when he needed 26 on the final play. Yep the best.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@LIVGolfNation @LIVGolfNation how do you keep it so funny. Wow, most hilarious content of any golf parody site.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@AlanShipnuck Luke was brilliant. The setup of the golf course won the cup as much as the Euro players did.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@HaileyOstrom Nope. They would have also been on a losing team.

[Brian Pavlet @bpavlet]

@GolfloverUK @ZachJohnsonPGA The US could have fielded a mythological fantasy team and would still be 4 down. Well done Europe. Well done
