johnnydoom lol, I just now got an email from Cobra!! Made me look. The cavity-back Tours are 'only' $1399 in the copper....they all come in the copper now. Only 100 higher than non copper. Jump!! 😁

    Who knows. Only Rickie. It depends on how the PGA Tour golfer views his role/job.

    Bruce Lietzke, when asked why he didn't play in certain Majors, always said that he was out as a
    professional golfer to make a living for his family. Period. No grand delusions. He won enough with a simple swing.

      Eguller But with Rickie missing cuts, there is no making a living from playing. If it were not for the sponsors, how many of these 'kids' would still be around? (and I realize they make enough off 1 win to sustain life for many, many years)

          Par4QC But with Rickie missing cuts, there is no making a living from playing.

          How true. But, looks like for the vast majority, the real $$$ is off the course. Like Arnie.

            pellmell Could Fowler's clubs, specifically his butter knifes, explain his deficient performance

            YES!!!!

            A couple weeks ago before any of the Faldo shit, I was thinking about Fowler because some friends were buying Cobra stuff. I looked into his stats and saw his SG off the tee and around the green were great but his iron play was awful. FIRST thing I said to myself was " stop playing those pretty looking blades". More than half the tour is either using a split set of some kind or a players cavity back like the Ping i210. How can he be that dumb... the worst part of your game, the hardest clubs made to hit...

                I know we said "“aim small miss small" in my Nike blade thread but it’s not working for everyone.

                Does anyone here (or anywhere) really give a flying squirrel shit what Faldo says? I doubt Fowler does.

                  Obviously I don't see the ads you guys do so have no idea if it's excessive. Not sure how it could be so, it can't take long to film and ad surely? What little of RF I have seen (PGA Tour coverage is notorious for only showing players at the top of the leaderboard, even in Majors) he doesn't look comfortable on the course. Maybe working on (and through) swing changes to make himself more competitive?

                  I don't know for sure but if so, considering Faldo went through a couple of iterations of that process that led him to several Major wins, I'd expect him to be more ... understanding. Also, given his life experience of unfriendly media - he once thanked them "from the heart of my bottom" while collecting the Claret Jug ... poacher turned gamekeeper for me.

                  Maybe he's being prompted to be a bit more "controversial" (golf commentary/punditry is notoriously bland); let's see if he targets more than just Fowler in the coming months.

                  Fowler's 2021 starts (11):
                  T49
                  CUT
                  T28
                  T57
                  T29
                  CUT
                  T21
                  T53
                  CUT
                  CUT
                  T20

                    Yep, Rickie is having a tough year. I think he'll turn it around.

                    • ode replied to this.

                        He has won about $450,000 this year golfing and
                        he gets 9 to 10 million a year in endorsements/commercials.
                        I could get by on that - maybe.

                          Like Harmon said, "“you wanted be a golfer or a Kardashian"

                          "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ...:"

                          We all can talk...visualize ... and think, but to be what we criticize don't we first have to walk?
                          I prefer to like ALL attempts, especially at the toughest game ever invented.
                          That is why I play the game.

                          Par4QC Yes, they were most likely living together long before the weddings, but we know that is a different bird.

                          Well of course, they weren't having sex when they weren't married.😆

                              ode well, if he doesn't...he gets to go home and have fun with the ol lady...not the worst thing in the world😉

                              Yea, Rickie's not hurting too hard
