@drakesmith__ Really great breakdown, thanks!

@Flagstick @Smugglers_Glen Why does it have to be gusting to 50km/h this evening 😭

[Cole Atkinson @colepatkinson]

I don't know if this is a troll take or you are being serious.

Strokes lost on the golf course for most amateurs come from penalties off the tee, not missing putts.

38-40 putts ≠ 38-40 putts from 10-20 feet. Most amateur putts are tap-ins or lag putts from outside 20. The 10-20 ft band is 2-4 putts per round. Ceiling of ~3 strokes gained even if you make every one.

Driver at 350 every time and down the middle: ~2 strokes from zero penalties, ~2-3 from wedge-in approach proximity, ~0.5-1 from reachable par 5s. 5-8 strokes minimum.

This is literally what strokes gained was invented to settle.

@founderwithadhd From my limited time working under Kaz's org at Shopify, he is seriously impressive and will deliver. Rooting for him big time.

@acaseofthegolf1 You forgot all the guys on LIV. They’ve made all the cuts on their tour.

@ProGolfCritic @livgolf_league Invest is a strong word. Spend money on entertainment, maybe.

@shaolin_flow @DJ_CURFEW Speaking to customers is not replaced by Agents by any means. But it significantly speeds up the process of identifying what your customers are saying.

LIV Mexico was at risk of not happening. It did. Ryan said he wasn’t sure it would happen - he did not say “LIV Mexico isn’t happening.”

He did not say the end of LIV was imminent. He said an announcement about the future was imminent. (This is a big one, did your teacher tell you to listen in school?)

Everyone was NOT paid on time - there was evidence of overdue invoices.

“When LIV plays in ‘27.” If you cared to listen to Ryan you would have heard him say (and I am paraphrasing): if LIV does continue to exist, it’s likely that it looks very different to what it is today. If you want, I can link you to the conversation we had with him where he speaks about this, and his opinions/ideas for what a positive future for LIV might look like without PIF funding (this part WAS pure speculation, and only his opinions about how it could continue). If you do want to listen, you’ll also hear how positively he talks about LIV and what it has done for many guys on the Asian Tour.

Listen, you need to remove whatever tinted glasses you have on, and your cotton ear buds, and listen and read properly.

@real_blueco @MattVincenziPGA @acaseofthegolf1 Please tell me, what is not correct?

[Cole Atkinson @colepatkinson]

A victory lap? Are you actually kidding? You wrote Ryan off, dismiss his reporting as not credible and based off of “rumblings,” then when he cites evidence to the contrary all of a sudden he is clout chasing? Not to mention, all along - his reports were credible and correct. That’s a special kind of gaslighting. Well done.

[Monday Q Info @acaseofthegolf1]

Update?

[Cole Atkinson @colepatkinson]

@ProGolfCritic Didn't know week off/travel was an event during this time. Looking forward to it!

Trump's approval rating is down 1500%

[кєνín @notcee_fan]

Twitter brand is so strong it was renamed and it’s still Twitter.

[Bobby Wagner @bwags]

sports in the streaming era are so cool. is it easier to find? no. is the broadcast weirdly dark and gray? yes. is the connection more reliable? definitely not. it must be cheaper then? also no

[Cole Atkinson @colepatkinson]

The gaslighting has gotten to such a level that they can now sit in the Oval Office and attempt to convince everyone that mathematics are wrong and they are right. Comical is an understatement.

RFK Jr. explains Trump's unique math abilities:

"She was ridiculing President Trump for his math and she was saying it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600% cost which he had claimed and I said, well, if the drug was $100 and it raised the price of $600 that would be a 600% rise. Or if it drops from $600 to $100 that's a 600% savings."

This only confirms what I think many of us have thought or feared for some time. Resorting to scrolling TikTok/IG/whatever short form app of choice is literally slowing down your brain. And it scares me how many kids I see with phones and iPads doing exactly this.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Addiction to short-form videos is associated with reduction of brain activity in the frontal lobe and weakened focus.

Tom is awesome and I love what he does. At the same time, I’m not sure this quote and interview tells us anything new.

If LIV continues and it makes sense to Bryson (read: if LIV survives and Bryson gets paid what he wants to get paid) then he will be there. Those are two very, very big caveats.

The survival of LIV is what should be being focused on.

@drakesmith__ The Srixon Z star series perform really well IMO. Problem is their cover is nowhere near as resilient as the ProVs. I won a box and they lasted me about the same amount of time as 6 ProVs.
