Not that you needed to be Nostradamus to predict this but they were part of a group named "Extinction Rebellion" and they said their disruption was "nothing compared to the impacts of extreme weather events."Almost guaranteed these are some enviro-wackos.
Oh boy.

I would have guessed 50 - that year Johnny won 8, a lot of them were on the west coast.
Edit
johnny Miller 1974:
- Won the first 3 tournaments of the year (Pebble Beach, Phoenix and Tucson)
- added a 4th in March (Harbor Town)
- 5th win in April - Tournament of Champions hadn't moved to the opening week yet
- mini-slump over the summer but won Westchester in August, added two more in September - 8 wins on the year
- broke Nicklaus single season record for money winnings, and the record for 4 years
Not including this year lol.

Noticing a pattern here. Wherever Scheffler goes, trouble follows.

Scottie sees two dozen cops
storming the green, has PTSD fm the PGA“Can you help me?”
That stoopid Louisville liar got the break of a lifetime. Arrested the nicest guy in sports, dude never even thought pulling his fame card, has no interest in litigating. Did not challenge the bizarre LMPD statement.
Wish you and your family all the best. Yes, the department has us buying freaking $80 pants. To those concerned, they were indeed ruined. But Scottie, it’s all good. I never would’ve guessed I’d have the most famous pair of pants in the country for a few weeks because of this. Take care and be safe.”
Anybody else & that cop gets suspended and it costs the city big time $$$$. Schefter took the high road.

15 year old Miles Russell will make his PGA Tour debut this week

- He won both the Junior PGA Championship and Junior PLAYERS at 14
- won the AJGA’s Player of the Year Award a day after turning 15, supplanting Tiger Woods as the youngest to win AJGA Player of the Year

Jack didn't start until he was 10. Shot 51 on his first 9 hole round with his dad Charlie Nicklaus. Caught the golf bug early; one day he played 63 holes.
(ASIDE - I believe my brother & I only managed 45 holes in a day. Before we teed off we had to work for our green fees; I would mow nine fairways, while he had to mow 9 greens + switch the cups on 3 holes.)
At 13, Jack eagled the last hole (Par 5) to break 70 for the first time by draining a 35 foot water-logged putt.
By 16, he was playing an exhibition match vs Slammin' Sammy Snead. Around that time he won the Ohio Open as an amateur.
But still, had a normal childhood back in the 1950s, before everyone decided you had to specialize in one sport. Played football (hands were too small to be a good quarterback), lettered 4 years in golf and basketball (averaged 18 points as a senior*), was the starting varsity catcher in baseball, and lettered in track and field.
Stayed in his hometown for college (without a scholarship), and began winning everything in sight: Walker Cup matches, England's Grand Challenge Cup, the North and South Amateur, the Trans-Mississippi, and the U.S. Amateur (at 19, he was the youngest amateur champion in 50 years) and repeated two years later ('59 & '61 - also finished T4th in the 1961 US Open as an amateur.)
He also won himself a wife, Barbara, a child, Jack II, an insurance business, and more worries than he could shoulder. "I was trying to do three jobs at once," he says, "and I wasn't doing justice to any of them. My grades were falling off. I wasn't making as much money from insurance as I knew I could. My golf wasn't good—and I don't enjoy playing bad golf." Nicklaus decided to quit both college and the insurance business temporarily and turn pro at 22. "I figured if I could make a good living doing what I liked best, why not?"
Placed 50th in his first PGA tournament, winning $33.33. Actually his 20th PGA tournament, first time getting paid. In his first half season, he placed 15th at the Masters and won his first tournament at the the US Open at Oakmont in playoff vs Arnold Palmer (in the King's backyard.) Won 3 times, 16 top tens, 26/26 made cuts, nearly tripled the Tour rookie record with $61K. Although his total income was around $250K in 1962, so no more selling insurance for him. After that he made over $100K in prize money for 24 straight years (1963-86.)
*once made 76 straight free throws on his home court in Columbus; was also a notable doubles tennis player, though he claims he was "the equivalent of an 8-handicapper in tennis."
Hope this Miles Russell kid gets a chance to have something of a normal teenage life. I remember how rough it was for Justin Rose when he came out at 17, couldn't make a cut to save his life for a couple years. Michelle Wie and Lydia Ko have both turned out alright but man is it hard to keep your head on straight when everyone expects you to do all this adulting stuff before you have learned how to drive.

I’m majorly nitpicking here
But plenty of 6-yr-olds break par now in official events like US Kids (my sons best is 36.). But it’s from their unique tees…averaging 1500 yards total per 9. My son finished 4th 3 weeks ago in a State 2-day event near Jupiter…shooting 80 (par 72). Winner shot 70. Watching these kids chip and putt is amazing.

I had a pretty big breakthrough this morning. A buddy gave a small tip to stop my swaying on my driver. Added about 20 yards with no effort. "Weight transfer" doesn't really mean what it seems to.
I'm pretty sure what it did was a) maintained club speed instead of bleeding it with the body sway but even more b) reduced the spin a bunch

What is the tip? Asking for a friend.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
What I was doing was transferring too much weight to the back foot on the back swing. Then when I transferred to the front foot it caused the sway that significantly negated club speed.
Instead, he told me to put 60/40 weight with more on the front (counter to what we all have heard, right?) and then just focus more on shoulder and hip turn. Essentially, just pivot.
The last thing was to tee it up higher on the tee and forward in my stance. I knew I was supposed to "hit up" on it but The Sway had never allowed me to do that.
Combining it all - pivot don't sway, tee it up a little higher, move it forward just a bit - resulted in a nice, simple swing with proper pace producing really good results.

My swing thought is rotate and get all weight to inside of back foot at the top.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
I think the key there is the INSIDE of the back foot. Doing that prevents you from transferring your weight too far back. My guess anyway.

Oops! I blame Andy. I see ‘golf’ and get excited…Will someone tell these ham and eggers they are in the wrong thread

Yeah both those guys were tight the last 11 holes:
- Davis 1 birdie, 9 pars, 1 bogey
- Akshay made 10 straight pars before the 3-jack
Only 22, like him a lot. He has almost the exact frame as my son lol.

Swings smooth, plays fast and seems to have a great attitude. There's a lot to like about that kid.

My 6-yr-old golfer loves Tiger and needs a new guy…he’s bounced around JT, Rory…but now somehow connected to Aberg and I’m absolutely thrilled with it.

Such a dumb thing by Monty also. Every pro golfer plays until they can't. Did Monty complain when Tom Watson played his last Open at age 65?
Grahamburn
Footballguy
I felt like it was totally taken out of context. Monty’s point was Tiger can’t really contend anymore, and it’s hard to see that from him, which is true. Especially when the coverage still shows EVERY single shot Tiger hits. Plenty of guys in every field have no chance, but the spotlight isn’t on them.
Tiger’s retort? Also hilarious.
gump
Footballguy
I didn’t get his thought about Tiger not enjoying a shot at Pinehurst ‘and he won’t at Troon either’. It’s the most intense golfer who’s ever lived…he’s trying to win and he thinks he can win. If he was walking around smiling, it actually would be time to retire.
