That's a bit of a surprise. Everything I had read suggested they would go along with it until the first event played in the US. The PGA tour have obviously decided to get the battle lines drawn early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PGA tour have obviously decided to get the battle lines drawn early. Ultimately it's going to end up in court. Players will claim they are private contractors and can play where they like, the Tour will say they are a members organisation and that membership can be withdrawn. Will get quite messy very quickly imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Dp world tour will surely be doing the same so lots of lawyers making lots shortly.But the pga wouldn't be doing this without legal advice. Just reading that players on the pga do sign a contract so it will be interesting to see how air tight it is Edited May 11, 2022 by doulikefish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Did anyone see the Greg Norman interview on Sky Sports? Wasn't exactly inspiring for anyone who might have been considering joining up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrance has a quality layout, but they’d just seeded the greens to get it ready for the open qualifiers, so they were pretty ropey, but we’ll worth the cheaper rate with it still being in April. 34 points round Kingsbarns and a hungover 33 round Torrance as well. So no disgrace thankfully. Helped the weather was tremendous bar the last four holes on Saturday. Great weekend. Kingsbarns still the best course I’ve played. That picture you’ve took from the 15th tee brings back some good memories. I stuck my tee shot to about 6 inches on that hole, with a crowd of about 10 or so dog walkers looking on from the woods on the left.

funky_nomad Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Got back last night from my wee trip north. Cullen was great fun with some absolutely mad holes, although the greens were really slow (maybe they don't cut them on a Monday - we pretty much had the course to ourselves). 3 birdies mixed with the same number of triples for 30 points just about sums things up. The burger from the van next to the clubhouse was immense, though. Maverston (just outside Elgin) was an absolute delight - fantastic layout, superb views, highly recommended if you're up that way. We played in very blowy conditions, so 32 points with a couple of blobs was pretty decent. Only thing letting the place down is the clubhouse, which is more like a leisure club cafe - you'd be struggling to get anything approaching a decent lunch if you wanted to use a day ticket. Hadn't played Kingussie in quite some time and with the trees now much more mature it's a much better track. The view from the 17th tee was almost worth the green fee on its own. Scored 35 points with a couple of blobs (+3 for 16 holes), best I've struck the ball since my enforced break last August. The fact I improved each day was a bonus - the game's getting there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 For the first time in about 8 years I stepped out onto the driving range about a mile from where I live.Borrowed clubs (no idea where mine are [emoji22])Bucket of 30 balls for $5Maybe hit 5 decent shots [emoji15][emoji20]Also, damn stupid, went along at 2pm when it was reportedly over 90degF and damn near passed out!Will go again early in the morning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 That wind today was absolutely savage. On consecutive holes, I smashed my driver 290 down wind, and 160 into. The second one was a significantly better strike too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if he's not even going to defend his title in a major its hard to see him bothering to tee up anywhere else on the PGA tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 With Mickelson withdrawing I think Russell Knox is now 2nd alternate. Likely Casey won't play so he's getting close to a spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently between both tours 80 players have asked to be released to play in a 48 man tourney. Going to be 32 rather pissed off players who have outed themselves as money grabbing b*****ds then don't actually get to play for the big purse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making some announcements next week aren't they? What a coincidence that it just happens to be the week of the USPGA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
