I'll move this to it's own thread..... Bryson will be on at 3PM ET, Noon PT.

Walterjn He could always win and refuse the money

DC300

garyt1957 $120k is still a lot, regardless of you wealth, I don’t see him doing it, but who knows

Par4QC

DC300 But, it's 100% tax money, nothing in his pocket.

garyt1957

DC300 its probably like a $100 is to us, if even that much. Bryson would probably PAY that much to win

DC300

garyt1957 it’s about 2.5% of what he makes in a year on tour winnings, so I’d hope for your sake that’s more than $100 to you..

Par4QC .Bryson is out! Injured.

Bryson hit 6 balls in the grid in his first session,with a top of 351....I'd say he's just fine.

Par4QC

darpar Sitting 2nd in his group, winning 3 sets, and moving on to the 32, I'd say he's better than fine. 😉

Par4QC OK, so, watching right now and Bryson is doing a sit down interview. No apparent injury, and nothing said about not competing later. WTH???
I do suppose this new company has a long way to go. 😁

Fake news? 🤣

Par4QC

sdandrea1 Yeah, ya know, if you want to grow the sport, and esp. attract sponsors, why are you royally screwing up your 1st time around? Their mistakes today were childish.....nope......, take that back. Children know how to use electronics much better than this group!

When you watched the feed on day one, did you notice all the stupid bullshit written by people in the column to the right? They kept writing Bryson is injured shit…. As usual, a bunch of shitheads with nothing else to do.

Subsonic

Top Flite gear is Last Tee approved!

Par4QC why are you royally screwing up your 1st time around?

I agree they have messed a few things up....
The score board they have sucks, it's basically a large PC monitor and you can barely read even when
you're just 15 ft. away.
No video screen like in the past, announcing was hit and miss with any pertinent info.
And I've gone to probably 8-10 LDA events and this is the first time we had to pay to get in.

darpar

Bryson scored 800 points to finish second in his group, he's cruisin' now!😎

darpar

Par4QC
He hits the grid more often than most, Kyle B. thinks Bryson will make final 8.
Sadlowski used to hit the grid a lot too,most of these guys swing so hard/wild it's
a wonder any balls stay in bounds at all....especially with the erratic Mesquite winds.

That's surprising. I knew it wouldn't be super expensive but I would've assumed there was some kind of charge.

garyt1957

I'm really surprised the GC dropped sponsorship. It couldn't have been that expensive for them and provided lots of content. They were always showing it.

Par4QC

garyt1957 TGC dropped a lot of things, and people, when they moved to the big time....New York.

I think they are actually in my home state of Connecticut. Not exactly big time although we do have ESPN and I think the GC/NBC studio is in the very southern tip of CT so basically in NY.

garyt1957

DC300 yea but then you have to add endorsements. Still a decent amount but its not going to break him. For me it's 100% more than I'm going to earn this year

johnnydoom

I would imagine he's doing this as much for his sponsors as he is for the benefit of bringing attention to the long drive circuit and for his own personal satisfaction. Some of those long drivers seemed to have helped him along in his quest to up his driving distance and if he can return the favor by bringing their tour some attention and making it a little more lucrative for them that is a good thing. The sponsors get their gear illuminated in a different way and to an expanded (however slightly) audience.
