Im not as opposed to that as most people are.
I loved the natural aspect of Dormie Club with no rakes.
Personally? Yes. For me, they are. It’s very much old guys yelling at the sky under the ruse of “protecting” the “integrity” of the game.
I too am on board with bunkers being actual hazards.
Just point us in a vague direction and let us go a completely different direction! ?
This is what needs to happen more than changing the gear, raise the mowers.
Well, then, he should LOVE my course.
Back to the pod, I wholeheartedly agree that there is no reason that the PGAT can’t foot the bill for caddies’ expenses.
Dormie Club offers no rakes at all.
Part of me loves that, because its only 50 or so golfers a day. But the other part of me can’t imagine what it would look like after sasquatch drinking Trulys all front 9 does to a bunker. A little foot rake, then clang off the shoes (another area golfers are morons).
Bahahahahaha! Truly wasted is a special kind of wasted ?
You know… if people genuinely cared about cleaning up after their bunker disaster, I’d be for it.
But, they aren’t… and never will be hahahaha
As for Ranking the Four Majors, Mr. Player has a ranking system all his own. I don’t think many share his view that the Masters is number 4.
I appreciated James and Dan talking about legacy and how they believe it affects what we hear from the icons of the past.
Same with fairway divots, a lot of people just don’t care to replace the divot or fill it in with dirt which our course provides in a bottle dispenser.
Glad you enjoyed dude!
A lot of public courses don’t have the fill bottles depending on where you’re playing.
And, a lot of courses won’t let
meus use our own push carts that can carry a divot bottle hahahahaRanking the majors, hmm i say Masters, Open, US Open, PGA….but the first three are all super close in my mind.
One thought/suggestion, as nitpicky as it may be. When you mention the Edel golf website, someone that hasnt heard of them might not know how to spell it based on the pronunciation. Might be worth spelling out something like that to help listeners that might not know. I may be overthinking (as i tend to do) but thought it was worth throwing out there.
Thank you @Canadan and @Jman for an excellent episode and listen!!!
