@BobSuraFans@NUCLRGOLF The whole point of captain's picks is to encourage mixing it up beyond the top 12. The Euros do this as much or more than the US does.
If you play well enough to finish top 20 you're fair game without catching the "old boys" label
@jmtomsick@scratchgolfshow@RedHarrington44 Sergio is the only one that’s remotely apples to apples.
The others were liked by their teammates more than PR, and were much better players.
@Cackalacman@NUCLRGOLF@AdamSchupak Yeah Greiner is definitely one of the more direct caddies out there (and that’s not a knock on him).
I also think Colin is a lot softer than JT though. He’s going to have a very hard time finding someone as good as JJ that can also coddle him the way he likes lol
@Cackalacman@NUCLRGOLF@AdamSchupak All I’ve heard is what Homa originally said which is that it was done to preserve their friendship, and that he didn’t want Greiner to leave but respected his decision.
@Cackalacman@NUCLRGOLF@AdamSchupak Greiner’s the one that left Homa. And he was only filling in for JT’s injured caddie.
So if Colin fired him, he’d be the first to do so.
But yes, Colin/Greiner were never going to be a great personality match.
@KylePorterNS I filled out the PGA's engagement survey a year or two ago and "more context" is what I asked for repeatedly.
Seeing a swing + a zoomed-in ball in the sky + a ball landing on a zoomed-in unidentifiable grassy area is just... meh.
Drone tracer + down-the-line in PiP is awesome!
@Rudeboy737@NoLayingUp@KylePorterNS It deserves a ton of weight, don’t you think? There’s a reason it’s so rare, not only in golf, but in all sports. It creates an unusual dynamic in the locker room, and there’s no way you can fully devote your time/energy to both aspects — one or both are going to suffer.
@hutch_golf@GolfloverUK Yep this is the obvious explanation.
He could have anticipated the question and prepped a more graceful response… but I get the frustration.
@bblock1924@zagnut PGC is a total hack. I don't think Phil was trying to motivate Scottie and I don't think the tweet had an impact on Scottie's performance...
BUT I'd be very surprised if Scottie hadn't heard about the tweet through someone in his circle and/or the media. Not that it matters.
