#12 – Giving up on His PGA TOUR CARD

You need to find a way of having these discussions being interactive. I’ve had so many different things I wanted to say during it I lost it all by the time I hit the ‘like’ and started to write a comment.
International team (whether it’s LIV or not) competitions could be a good option. I imagine the RC committee will disagree.
Things change through generations and life.
18-12-9-6 holes or just par 3 courses could grow the game but only if there are specific things to develop to progress.
GolfIt in Glasgow I think is the R&A blueprint to ‘grow the game’

Personally I find the PGA a bit boring, but LIV is just farcical … there needs to be a middle ground that can bridge the gap …my local course (edenbridge) closed a few years ago, I put in a proposal to turn it in to a scaled down course with a lot of family facilities, so you can go play and take the family with you. No-one was interested. I reckon it is a winner – the only question mark is how it impacts the handicap system

I totally agree boys golf is changing and I do think it needs to.
And yes the Ryder cup should be important but they also need to change things about that to if the rest of the game is changing,and where the players possibly come from.
It’s like any sport there are times you need to move things along.
I’m like lots of people out here I don’t always like change BUT for the benefit of the sport there does have to be changes.

I hate LIV. They add nothing, build nothing, contribute nothing. Clearly Hatton fresh blood also

I think there is a helluva lot of generalising in here, fellas. I'm mid 50s and worked all my life. I'm looking forward to playing as much 18 hole golf as possible when I retire but even as a working family man I love a full round. #GrowTheGame causes me much more angst than the PGA v LIV split ever did. It's hypocritical to think that 3 figure greenfees is anything more than a backward step to the days where only the rich can afford to play those tracks. Nothing to do with etiquette and ability everything to do with your income. £600 for a driver? £200 for a single Ping iron? It's a joke.

Go Nudgers!! 😂
Glad for Adrian, I wish him all the best

G'Day Dan & Lester, looks like Tyrell Hatton as well. If the whole PGA Tour goes to LIV, I still wouldn't watch it.

In fairness, the comment has been made before. This needs to be a bit earlier for this content, as others can have done it. Love seeing you and Lester, but, old news. Sorry Dan.

I don't know what's happening in your country in Europe but I know the golfers on the PGA tour or tired of politicizing the station the network with all of the MSM agendas and to be quite honest LIV is going to be a breath of air Networks trying to Push shit on the Public through Golf Football ⚽ Baseball it's happening all over the world it's Disgusting

It is possible that the decision not to include Adrian in the Ryder cub squad, having won at the Ryder Cup venue, and already done enough by playing himself into position, the slap in the face, by the Captain was too much, and that was a likely tipping point for him going to LIV. LIV are changing their system of play, which will result in players getting ranking points once everything is finalised. Add into the mix, the possibility of the tours holding hands with each other. Therefore, the current bans placed upon LIV players will be lifted, allowing the captains on both sides to choose LIV players. Love seeing the two of you chatting, the chemistry is so natural. Great friends bouncing off each other, fantastic.

Traditional golfers, you mean the old farts at each club who oppose any change, even if that change means saving their golf course. They'd rather cancel their memberships and run to another club, and run it into the ground. This is the same demographic who are opposed to LIV and who watch the PGAT/DPWT and you have a bunch of them in the comments complaining about yet more traditional bs.

The main reason why LIV is not on more TV channels is because the PGA has been using their monopoly to force TV-partners not to broadcast LIV Golf (same as the OWGR). But with LIV events now consistently featuring stronger fields every time, TV bosses will have to realize they are missing out…just like anyone with half a brain now knows that ranking doesn't mean anything now, making OWGR more and more irrelevant…

The Nudgers 😂
I’d be in the Chunkers

I've always thought the clue was in the title with 'Pro' Golfers as you say, the objective is to earn money and if LIV accelerates that for someone then why wouldn't they take it. As for golf clubs, the many committees and self important idiots they attract are ruining most clubs – the few people who give up their time to help seem to be outnumbered by people who think being on or chair of a local golf club committee means they've made it and can force their views on others. I will only belong to proprietary clubs now, paying for a service ie golf, facilities etc and have to be welcoming to family/friends as their job is to be profitable.

Put me down for the nudgers!! 😊😊

Sorry don’t do podcasts, everyone is trying them, but does anyone really watch them? Boring as hell, what’s the point, just inane drivel.

The stagnant old farts who have imbedded themselves at our club are destroying it. It’s going to take years to filter them out, that’s if the club survives long enough.

We have a nice 9 hole course about 20 minutes away and I think come membership renewal time I will be off there

Really good 2-ball show. Not surprised that pr golfers are going after the money, after all, they are doing it to make a living and to provide for their famiies. I don't degrudge them for that. The PGA Tour has not been very loyal to them , so why should they be loyal to it. At the end of the day, if I were a pro and offered many millions guaranteed to play, certainly I'd take it. The only way I'd turn down the money is if I had a really good chance to break some golfing records, such as most PGA Tour wins or most Major victories (ex. Tiger). If I had the chance to do that, I've already made a ton of money and don't need the extra cash. Also, not surprised that the older and retired golfers are not happy with the reduced holes and adding family activities. They don't want little kids around nor other activites that make a lot of noise. Also, what happens with their membership costs, does it go down or up, especially for activities that they have no desire to participate in. Cheers.

I really don’t understand the heat you got on last weeks video to be honest.
At the end of the day you can’t please everybody, but I come online to watch/listen to the content you put out as an avid golfer.
I like the mixture of sometimes being able to to just listen, rather than having to pay attention to a video all the time.
I also like to watch reviews on gear from time to time to see what is going on in the industry, so it’s a thumbs up from me on the mixture of the content. 😃

Here in the U.S.A. many courses have 9 hole leagues in the afternoon so people can play after work during the week. Takes maybe 2.5 hours to play. If you want 18 holes play in the morning or on the weekend. Nearby we do have a course the has a three nine hole set up. Cheers.
