@matthew_parry1@WillKentSPORT@DPWorldTour Its become common recently because they stopped hosting it in England almost every year. That’s what changed.
It’s not odd because golf is still nascent in Europe relative to Scotland, England and Ireland. E.g. - If it’s held in France in 2031, we’ll likely be in a similar situ
@matthew_parry1@WillKentSPORT@DPWorldTour So, now your point is that GB&I still reigns supreme when it comes to golfing talent?
I agree.
Shame that you couldn’t go a couple of replies into a discussion without digging up the clichéd ‘I bet you’re fun at parties’ line, though.
@WillKentSPORT@matthew_parry1@DPWorldTour Because it was played in England for about 99.9% of those European fixtures over the past 80 years. This is a trend you’ll continue to see unless hosting the event really #growsthegame in every country it’s held.
@LouStagner I don’t disagree but a big difference is the chance of finding it if you’re a pro versus an amateur. Without a spotter, that ball is GONE. These misses hurt amateurs more.
@TronCarterNLU@BigRandyNLU I do get what Big’s saying, though. He’s parading , and being paraded, around as though he’s not an exceptional golfer. It’s an incredible feat but let’s be frank, he’s no - as big put it - a ‘make a wish kid’.
Jon Rahm said during his appearance on yesterday’s CBS broadcast that he’s “addicted to the game.” He sat and talked with them about the game and analyzing shots for over half an hour. When he came out to do the rest of his media, he had a huge smile on his face and said “I could’ve done that all day”. Jon is just like us at the end of the day, a golf sicko.
@TheBearStee@BrendanPorath This isn’t a narrative. Going to LIV doesn’t suddenly make someone a bad golfer and I don’t believe anyone with half a brain believes that.
