Posted on by

 

golfchat_no_more_viewer_call_ins

So the USGA has blocked viewer call-ins for rule discretions. Quite unbelievable they accepted them in the first place…

What does #Golfchat think?

This Week’s #Golfchat Questions

#Q1 from @realGolfchat – What’s was the best golf gift you ever received? Pics if you got ’em.

#Q2 from @realGolfchat – No more viewer call ins on rules. What other rules need to be changed? (E.g. the @cencalhack #footwedge)

#Q3 from @realGolfchat – Who’s your favorite golfer of 2017 & why?

#Q4 from @connectgolf – Do you have a registered handicap – with which organization? Or do you manage your own?

#Q5 from @ZebWelborn – Do you bet on golf like me? If so, please help, I need a better system…

#Q6 from @TheGratefulGolf – How often do you replace your golf shoes?

#Golfchat Goes to Potts

Posted on by

Ricky Lee Potts, that is.

This week the most interesting thing in golf is the LPGA CME Group Tour Championship, being held in Naples FL, at the Tiburón Golf Club. Tiburón is a Troon property and the Troon Director of Marketing there is the inimitable Ricky Lee Potts.

Ricky has kindly agreed to be our first ever special guest as we look to expand #Golfchat’s horizons, even temporarily, beyond the latest and greatest cat GIF.

The format for this week will be a little experimental. We’ll ask Ricky to talk a bit about the CME Group Tour Championship, the Tiburón property and his role there. Then we’ll open it up to #Golfchat participants, who will no doubt only ask Ricky intelligent, insightful and cutting-edge questions about the topics at hand.

Of course, being a golf tragic, Ricky will surely be happy to respond to other questions, particularly those relating to his recent visit to the home of golf, St. Andrew’s in Scotland.

Hope to see you all there. Remember #Golfchat is on at 5 PM PST (click this link to get your local time)

#Golfchat Great White Shark Week

Posted on by

12 months ago, Greg Norman promised us a “revolution” in golf.

It turns out that revolution is the “Shark Experience – an entertainment hub to enhance the golf course experience.” Digging deeper for words people actually understand, we find it’s a juiced up golf cart screen with more options than just GPS yardages.

You want a scorecard? You got it! How about live sport (other than that you’re playing yourself)? No problem! Cashless payments (a sexy way of saying “please let us store your credit card info on our platform too”)? Easy!

I wonder if Greg knows smartphones have been doing all that stuff for years…?

#Golfchat Tiger Burning Bright

Posted on by

He’s back again after his back again, which means limitless talk about his limited potential with a fused spine. Hopefully it also means limitless use of the #golfchat hashtag.

In more important news, however, the #Golfchat Authors are back in town (with the notable scratching of Tony Dear) discussing the age-old topic, “Millennials are _____ golf” with each author filling in the blank.

#Golfchat Slangs & Arrows

Posted on by

If you’ve played golf, you’ve slung a few choice words over a poor shot. You may have even flung a club. It’s time to confess, so come to the church of #Golfchat and tell us your sins. We don’t mind if you repeat them either…

Those Europeans are continuing to shake things up in the name of golf progress and are planning to introduce a shot clock into the Austrian Open next season.

The PGA Tour moves to Malaysia. Tiger Woods is swinging (clubs) again.

#Golfchat Kicks the Bucket!

Posted on by

The most famous and photographed bridge in golf.

Have you stood on the Swilcan Bridge at St. Andrew’s and smiled for a photo? Is a visit to the Old Course on your bucket list? These questions and more, this week on #Golfchat.

Also up for discussion are the positives and negatives of exclusive courses and their rules versus, cheaper clubs with more relaxed attitudes.

Do you like golf trips? What considerations need to be…, er, considered before you go? Golf course selection in particular.

#Golfchat Un-Leished

Posted on by
marc_leishman

You’ll have to humour me this week, but it was pure driving pleasure from BMW champ and fellow Aussie (I’m claiming him), Marc Leishman, in the penultimate Fedex Cup event. It feels like good karma too after the health issues his wife, Audrey, has faced in the last couple of years.

Leishman is now one of the five players who can guarantee the Fedex Cup become theirs with a win at Eastlake this week.

But does anyone care?

Paul O’Neill (@GOLFFOODADDICT), newest member of the #Golfchat Authors, thinks the Fedex Cup needs some shaking up.

What does everyone else think? Should we just hand some already rich guy a cool $10 mil and move on to the President’s Cup?

In other #Golfchat happenings, our very own rabble-rouser, @cencalhack, has initiated a Twitter poll asking if the long game is more important than the short game. Apparently research is suggesting the long game should become the focus. Go figure…
