Running 2026 Golf Thread

I normally don’t give a flying Goddam about the LPGA (but strangely find myself falling asleep to the Korean LPGA on YouTube some weekends) but I at least now have a new player to hate watch.

Last year, I was playing a well-known short course with friends and colleagues. One of the holes is a blind shot with a big sitting area around it. A large group was in front of us, and when they left the green, I played first.

I hit a good shot, and then all those bros acted like it was an ace. Whooping and hollering and dancing around.

I was pretty happy, raised my arms and high-fived my playing partners. It's was a legit good shot.

But it didn't go in. They faked it.

I hate the Golf Bros.

Later, a couple of them came up to try to laugh it off. "Sorry, bud, all good fun."

My response:

"**** you."

And walked away.

Good for you. That kind of “joking” is just cruel.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

I don’t think I’ve ever given a single **** about a total strangers round unless they were in front of me and so ****ing slow I wanted to run them over.

Practical jokes are just another form of bullying, and all bullies can **** right off.

This is exactly it.

I hope the golf gods cursed them all with terrible shanks. Tremendously uncool.

I might have added an Elin Woods’ 9-iron to the skull along with the “**** you.”

My buddies like to bust chops among our group. We know each other and know what the lines are.

What they did is unacceptable bull****.

Agree on Golf Bros. And Bros in general. They all seem to be compensating for something. Likely the inability to get or please a woman.

Similiar uncool thing: I have been on outings where someone mentioned being afraid of something, spiders and snakes the most common.

Of course, a couple of DoucheBroBrahs have to find one or someone knows and brings a rubber version to put in the golf bag. Or shower, bed or on the porch-patio at camp or the hotel.

Not cool, man.

This week's Rocket Classic is at the Detroit Golf Club, smack in the middle of a city most Americans perceive is a war zone. I have a friend who is a PGA caddy, he sent me a photo of nearby UDM and said he was shocked at how nice the neighborhoods around the course were.

DGC is in Palmer Woods, the nicest part of Detroit. John Salley lived there. The course itself is great.

Whoooeee, some heads may roll about this.

The ****ty New York Post, which I won’t link because it’s ****ty, had a story that LIV was closing in on a $250 million investment. The report was breathless and full of hope for the future of LIV.

That would do absolutely nothing to save LIV. And that’s if the story was even true, because who knows since it was in the ****ty New York Post.

Sure I'd take equity for a venture on the brink of bankruptcy.....

Tech bros will tell you, "take equity at the start of a startup, not at the back end after the creditors come knocking..."
