But it has forced the PGA to make changes to how they do bidness.RaceBannon said:LIV is the senior tour for 40 somethings and injured 30 somethings
54 holes. Sad -
You're not really trying to make the tour you want to crush stronger

The better players demanded more money as a %, and they got it. Bigger payday events will bring the best together more often.BennyBeaver said:

Now that we are through Rivera, the remaining courses for the year still fucking suck though. -
The players have actually controlled the tour since Jack and Arnie took over in the 60s and broke it off
Jack didn't like the all exempt tour but the players wanted a middle class and got a big one.
LIV put the focus back on paying the top dogs so they don't leave
The tour still has to control the stars of tomorrow
The media blackout of LIV will kill them
Remember Dustin Johnson? Me neither -
Keep DJ’s name out of your mouth.
-
How about Brooksie?
-
Brooksie’s wife is pretty whoreish, but she isn’t going to hold up past 35. Paulina will look good forever.
-
These guys should proofread their tweets. And by “exiting” contracts I think they mean being cancelled or not renewed.
-
My point really isn't about LIV making the Tour better. I'm saying that Tour players should be thanking LIV for coming along and giving them some nice pay raises. LIV accelerated some changes that benefit those guys.RaceBannon said:You're not really trying to make the tour you want to crush stronger

I’m all for Norman choking, Phil DIAFF, and the tour players benefiting.
Abundance. -

Modern drivers are the easiest club in the bag to hit Yella. If my iron play, which I work on a lot, came close to my driving, which I never work on except during rounds, I'd be a scratch golfer.YellowSnow said:Should I learn to hit a driver in 2023? This is the question.
Get one and figure it out. I'd look for one of the previous year's Taylor Mades, M series or Sim, to avoid spending $400+ on a club that you don't think you can hit -
So true. Unless there's a crazy dogleg or a hazard that cuts through the fairway or something, I hit driver. Not because I've got a big dick or anything, but mostly because the sweet spot is so big now compared to a 3w or long iron. Better chance of hitting it straight and on the face than those other options.chuck said:

I have a friend who can routinely crush it 300 yards but isn't consistently accurate. He's still usually in play and in wedge range though. What cracks me up is how he'll pick some odd hole to "play it safe" with his three iron. 81% of his iron tee shots are 100 yards shorter than his driver and in the rough, if he's lucky. It's comical.Bob_C said:

So I flipped to the CW since the PGA Tour was nothing this week and thought I'd check out the LIV
Wasn't on. It was on the guide but not the station
But Laura Baugh's son almost won the Honda

Great network deal there Greg. -
You got extra long clubs? My driver is off the shelf but have 1/2 inch longer irons. Need new stuff so considering going a full inch longer.YellowSnow said:Should I learn to hit a driver in 2023? This is the question.
Heh. -
I bought my first real set of irons last year and got fitted for plus 1.5 inch. Calloway Big Berthas. 5, 7, 9, PW and Putter.whlinder said:

I'll get a driver this spring. -
I don't disagree with the logic here. I need to buy a modern, forgiving driver and learn to hit it.chuck said:

But my 5 iron goes about 170 yds with an easy tall guy swing and generally hits the fairway. I'll take 170 in the fairway vs 240 in the rough every time.
Also, the rough at my course is fucking brutal. Here's the 1st tee. @Tequilla can confirm.
