All things golf!

Hello. My name is big and I am addicted to golf.

I was just curious if there are any golf freaks here to chop it up with?

The new season has barley started and it looks like a good season with most of the Covid restrictions being lifted.

One of the new golfers that I am excited to watch is Will Zalatoris. This kid is a shoe in for the HOF barring any injuries.

My favorite female golfer is Lexi Thompson. ( yes I enjoy the LPGA , golf is golf )

The Players Championship is this week and I am really chuffed to see who wins!

My pick is Patrick Cantley. This golfer is in the Zone and is hungry for more wins.

May your drives hit the fairways and your putts are pure!

but hey , there is a golf god , there is a huge tournament coming up this weekend

the Sentry Tournament of Champions


i am curious to see how Zalatoris does coming off of back surgery..i am sure there will be a lot of rust on the course


The PGA Tour resumes it’s 2022-23 season with the Sentry Tournament of Champions, Jan. 5-8, in Maui, Hawaii. The field list includes 39 players, including 17 of the top 20 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy will not be competing. Despite this being among the Tour’s designated events, he is skipping the limited-field, no-cut tournament. Players, in accordance with the Tour’s Players Impact Program regulations, are allowed to miss one of the 17 designated events without an excuse.

McIlroy, who has competed in this tournament only once, tying for fourth in 2019, won three times last season, including the FedExCup title. The Sentry field, however, is open to more than just Tour winners from 2022; winners and those who qualified for the season-ending Tour Championship are eligible.

World No. 3 Cam Smith and No. 20 Shane Lowry are the only other top-20 players missing the tournament. Smith, who won this tournament last year with a Tour record 34-under-par performance, has been suspended by the Tour for joining LIV Golf. Lowry, who finished 12th on the PIP list, has never played the Sentry and has a full slate of January events on the DP World Tour.

Among those scheduled to compete at Kapalua’s Plantation Course are Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa and Will Zalatoris, who will be playing for the first time since he was sidelined by a back injury in August.

34 under par? Holy cow! I am not sure I could be 34 under for 72 holes if I was given a drop on the green for my drive. Well maybe…

 

[Africanna]

Yes, wouldn't be surprised to see a few rusty players out there.

That said, these guys are good enough to get right back into it.

Won't miss Rory

 

[user 60570]

the Masters will be a gunfight at the OK Corral between PGA and LIV

i hope a lot gets settled before then

if not , the drama is selling a lot of tickets!

 

[user 60570]
