Weirfan Most boring major in years , course is also visually unappealing

Thanks for this post, I thought maybe it was just me. Absolutely no excitement at all, in watching this. Could it be the presentation by ESPN that is lulling us to sleep?

      ya he's not hurting and probably doesn't need a measley 5 million but as with Tiger and others his off course earnings are where they earn now.

      "Phil Mickelson Net Worth: Phil Mickelson is an American professional golfer who has a net worth of $400 million. He is an incredibly successful golfer, and belongs to the small minority of players in the history of golf to have won three of the four majors. During his career to date, Phil Mickelson's career earnings top $800 million. In some years he has earned $80 to $100 million. In more recent years he has earned $40 to $50 million, of which the vast majority comes from endorsements.

      As of this writing he has earned over $90 million in tournament money alone. That's second only Tiger Woods."

          Weirfan doesn't need a measley 5 million

          iirc, he moved to FL, so now he'll have a lot of extra $$ in pocket due to the tax diff from CA.. Probably why he decided to grab the loot at this stage of his career.

            That is partly to blame for sure.
            The course is not visually appealing as Weirfan stated.
            However, there have been things to talk about for sure.
            Fowler's putter whiff (misses cut by 1)
            Cameron Tringale DQ (signed for lower wrong score and would have made the cut by 1 with proper score)
            DaBoob's club breaking.
            Lowry's club breaking.
            Rahms hissy fit sound equipment breaking.
            Tiger's new putter that is not working out.
            Rory's mental breakdowns.
            JT no good after winning last week.
            Spieth still struggling.
            Surprise leaders including Li who went back to the course after his round to practice a long time.
            Paul Casey showing up at a major.
            Adam Scott's first start this year and it's a major.
            Phil and his dumbass glasses and Army golf.
            No free TV for some of youse guys.

                Why is the course "visually unappealing"?

                  ode Why is the course "visually unappealing"?

                  No hot chicks in the background.
                  To me, it just seems plain looking.
                  Can't put my finger on it.

                      Spuzz To me, it just seems plain looking.
                      Can't put my finger on it.

                      Isn't it a muni?

                          Spuzz Cameron Tringale DQ (signed for lower wrong score and would have made the cut by 1 with proper score)

                          The 2nd time he's done that in a Major.

                          Spuzz DaBoob's club breaking.

                          That shit happens all the time at those speeds. If you watched the replay, you'd notice the shaft whipping across his back....that is where it broke. Not the company's fault, not the player's fault; it comes with the territory.

                          Spuzz Tiger's new putter that is not working out.

                          Dumbest thing I've ever seen, putting a new putter in play in a Major that he wants/needs badly.

                          Spuzz Spieth still struggling.

                          After 3 yrs., it is no longer a 'struggle'. It is his game now. Everyone needs to get used to the idea his time has passed. Esp. him. Get over it, get on with it. If he cannot cope with the possibility of never winning again(doubtful at this point), he will just have to quit the game.

                          Spuzz Phil and his dumbass glasses and Army golf.

                          Nothing new to see here. Been watching it for years now, except the glasses. Those that think his 'condition' have nothing to do with it, are wrong;
                          it does affect him and his swing. It has to. Esp. in the weather he's playing this week.

                          Spuzz No free TV for some of youse guys.

                          That would be only for anyone without a TV. It's on regular ESPN, and today on ESPN and CBS. No pay, regular channels.

                                        Par4QC Isn't it a muni?

                                        Yes, but I don't hold the same disdain for them as some of youse 'Mericans seem to do.
                                        The ones I played in Michigan were a delight for me but you could hear the negativity when the word "muni" was said.

                                            Spuzz Some are very nice. I don't see this one fitting that category. No idea how this setting came to be a Major venue. At the very least, they could make the course visually appealing for TV. Cut some uglyass trees, plant some flowering vegetation, etc.. Nekked ladies are a must, but it's SF, so you have to make sure of that.

                                                Par4QC Not the company's fault

                                                I think he said that about 20 times in his post round interview.
                                                Earned his endorsement money in about 3 minutes of shilling
                                                LOL

                                                btw, I broke a shaft the same way, back in the day, before a kitten could beat me in an arm wrestle
                                                :/

                                                    Agree.
                                                    Don't need any RuPauls showing up unexpectedly, like he did here.

                                                      Spuzz I like that he stated he's been using that same shaft for a year. That's a lot of abuse at those speeds. I'd bet it's not the same head he's used for a year.

                                                          Par4QC I like that he stated he's been using that same shaft for a year

                                                          and that the new shaft was producing longer shots, so the old one was about worn out by the sounds of it.

                                                              WTF is that around Tiggers neck ? Did he wake up with some chicks undies around his neck and forget to take them off ?

                                                                Spuzz I'm using their shafts also, but no danger of them getting worn out here. 😂
