the wut

 

[The Gator]

Anybody going to watch TGL tonight? Seems like an interesting set-up.

6pm on ESPN,,, I'll be giving it a whirl

Who we liking tonight? NY or Bay Area? NY is slight favorite. (NY) Xander - Rickie - Cam Young - Fitzpatrick vs. (Bay Area) Aberg - Lowry - Min Woo - Wyndham Clark

I'm on team Åberg.

 

[WDIK2]

Even in the format they can't get out of camera for putts?

 

[The Gator]

Pretty fun first two holes. Could see this being entertaining to watch

 

[TLEF316]

The tech is super cool. They really thought of everything and the short game setup was a clever solution to the simulator problem. Obviously the pacing is helpful

But I think it will get old pretty quick. Its a hit and giggle, not a competition.

 

[Willie Neslon]

The rout is on.

 

[The Gator]

The rout is on.

That put by Aberg....

 

[belljr]

Would love to try this. Watching is meh

 

[CGRdrJoe]

yeah, lame commentating

 

[Willie Neslon]

The crowd isn't drunk enough.

 

[The Gator]

Fitz's bank shot was sweet

 

[Nigel]

This has way more potential than I’d imagined.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Gimmicky as heck but also kinda fun.

I'd like it better if it wasn't so Waste Management-y.

But it's fun seeing the pros actually have fun.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Miles better than LiV already.

 

[Capella]

I can’t believe how bad this is. How did this get greenlit?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Isn't the match over? Why are they still playing?

 

[The Gator]

get out

Eldrick

 

[Andy Dufresne]

First tiebreaker for playoffs is total holes won.

 

[The Gator]

I like the adjustable bunker lip for different shots. Wonder if it'll ever effect anything

 

[Willie Neslon]

How come they never showed the green changing undulations in real time?

 

[Willie Neslon]

The TGL Stocky Beaver remains perfect!

 

[Capella]

I can’t believe how bad this is. How did this get greenlit?

get out

You don’t have to lie to yourself

 

[WDIK2]

It was better than I thought it would be, but not must-see tv. They showed the shot data a few times on the bottom. That should be a fixture. Tiger wasn't good in the "booth".

ETA: A buddy and I are just finishing up building a sim. It's almost as nice as this setup.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

i live breath and eat golf and while i only watched 3 holes it was horrific. I couldn’t stomach anymore than that

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Yeah, after a bit it didn't look or sound that much different than if they were mic-ed up in a bar playing Golden Tee.

It does show that the sticks up their asses might not be as big as previously thought. I didn't know Xander knew how to smile.

 

[gump]

Gambling.

 

[Zow]

I enjoyed it. Definitely wished the entire time I was just there doing it. But the expediency was great and seeing the guys much looser than on actual courses on the weekend was fun.

Likely won't go out of my way to watch, but will happily watch again - probably while on my putting mat and air chipping when I have some alone time before bed or something.

Only part I didn't like was when Wyndham Clark was just demolishing that really challenging hole and it was merely background noise to DJ Khalid. Nothing against Khalid and I'm glad he's like those of us that like to play, but show me Clark!

 

[Zow]

I can’t believe how bad this is. How did this get greenlit?

Lighten up, Francis.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

This is devastating to so many people that I almost feel guilty typing this out as it's a for pleasure area but Riviera country club is squarely in the fires path

 

[WDIK2]

I didn't know Xander knew how to smile.

He's been great when playing with some of the YouTube golfers. Likes to trash talk a little. Jon Rahm also.

 

[3 hour lunch]

The TGL tech is definitely cool but I also thought it got sort of old quick. The “teams” are basically just made up so maybe that was part of it. The fantasy holes are kind of cool but those guys are so good they basically still never get into trouble. I may watch a few minutes more here and there but I guess I prefer the pressure of the real thing…..

 

[gump]

So what’s happening with Chacarra and LIV? Lots of smoke he’s trying to leave for the PGA Tour.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

So what’s happening with Chacarra and LIV? Lots of smoke he’s trying to leave for the PGA Tour.

his contract is over so he's not a part of LIV anymore, he has to wait a year from his last tourney to then be able to attempt to earn his pga tour card. He is financially set for life now so he won't have the same stress that most players have that are trying to earn their card.

 

[belljr]

The article I read was other than money he's unhappy with the ability to play in majors, big tournaments etc. His quotes sounded like he was "promised" OWGR eventually but that never panned out so he misses the "prestige". He then tried to compare himself to Aberg but lost everyone with that comment, since he was a middle to back of the pack at LIV ... Sergio cut him from the team.

 

[The Gator]

Homa seems like a fun dude. Played a few weeks ago with a guy who was walking score keeper for him a few times, said he's was a very nice person.

 

[The Gator]

Hey I can hit a bunker shot like Kisner!

 

[TLEF316]

Kiz probably made a good decision going part time this year and spending most of his time in the booth. He was beyond abysmal tonight

 

[The Gator]

Kisner bunker shot

 

[belljr]

I guess you're big time if the announcer at the beginning doesn't even need to drop your accolades as you walk out

 

[The Gator]

TGL time!

 

[The Gator]

Tom Kim needs to be all the time

 

[belljr]

TGL time!

Berrie needs to talk way lessss

They need to remove Marty Smith vamping interviews. I love Marty Smith but they are all painful. Just let me listen to the players chatter and strategize. Berrie can set stuff up here and there

 

[TLEF316]

Obviously a close match makes things much better. And they had the 2 big dogs + Kim to carry the night.

It was a fun watch tonight

 

[Willie Neslon]

I wish they would do a better job of setting up the shot & situation. It kind of moves fast and the announcers don't do a great job of letting viewer know what's happening. Also, I still kind of don't understand the Hammer strategy. Rory and Tiger are both putting for a 4. Rory makes his putt and they throw the hammer, which makes the hole worth double, if accepted. Tiger has a putt to halve the hole, he can not win it, but still accepts the Hammer? Why? So they can gain control of the Hammer that the other team never has to accept if they don't want to? I genuinely don't really get it.

It's added pressure for Tiger, right? He still has to make it to not lose the hole and the 2 points now instead of tying.

If you don't accept, you concede the hole.

I forgot that part lol

Also, if it's tossed before tee off it cannot be declined.
