Real Golf

I can't lie, I did not watch a second of the Masters...sports detox season for me apart from the occasional Premier League or La Liga games...but very happy to see that Rahm won. I was, however, unhappy to see Phil collecting a big check.
 
I’m not going to disparage the success of Brooks and Phil. They really did ball out and if we removed the whole LIV thing, folks would be head over heels at how this final played out of you removed those facets. Phil had the best final round of the day, nearly of the week.


I’m thrilled with our champion, and more thrilled our amateur champion. This was a good Masters, with the weather and back and forth we saw. The surge, the struggle… I’ve enjoyed this one for sure. I love the event enough I don’t really parse the different events and groups. I don’t love the LIV, but I do really enjoy and find respect in guys like Brooks and Cam, regardless of their choice.


Congrats to Rahm, he did good!

My only issue with LIV is their argument it’s for the “bettering on the game”. No. It’s for mass dollars. Which is cool. Just fucking admit it. I’ve watched LIV events. It’s golf, absolutely, but it’s not top tier tournament golf with the stress and pressures of the other tours. Will it be better eventually? Probably, but you cannot expect there not to be repercussions for violating the rules of the tour you are/were a member of. I don’t see why any of them are salty. They don’t deserve any sort of equivalent world rankings points with the product they have.

Just like the fact they were “all going to be there to celebrate” if a LIV golfer wins. That’s not golf. Root for your friends. Root for your countrymen. Root for folks you just genuinely like and go congratulate them on 18. They aren’t all “teammates” they literally play on teams of four.

LIV golf could be fun and enjoyable to watch. But it’s like watching the celebrities play at Tahoe.

Seeing “names” like Phil and Brooks just made it feel better. I was rooting for Reed to break his leg.

Won’t argue that, but I’d say, I didn’t hear that from Brooks, didn’t hear it from Cam, and from reports I didn’t hear Phil say shit. Norman ran his showman ass, and the vast majority of guys didn’t show any difference other than against a Phil. I think Phil is a turd and it was before LIV, but I thought it was good golf this week, it was pure and I think it was fair despite the set up and conditions.


LIV can get fucked. I haven’t ever watched, and struggle to name more than 5-6 guys, but this week made that okay. We have a great champion, and had a good day of golf. I didn’t see anyone holding Brooks up, other than Rahm, and that’s all I needed to see.
