Yeah, I assumed all the top guys had those sorts of meetings with their apparel teams. Didn't think it was weird at all. They present him with options and he basically says yay or nay.

Maybe he was a LITTLE direct with his response on the olive pants/orange shirt combo, but I didn't find it off-putting. Morikawa is a super good dude by all accounts

Dog shoes, kitten mittens and **** towels

 

[General Malaise]

The dog was still wearing shoes during the fashion meeting, but if I had his money, I'd probably have a pet monkey in a tuxedo.

Comparing the personalities of Finau and Morikawa, I'd say Tony comes across as far more likeable and relatable but dudes with 5 frigging kids are just much better dudes across the board.

 

[Zow]

Colin Morikawa puts shoes on his dog and that's the last time I ever root for him ever what the mother ****ing ****.....Jesus.

Lol .. . Only on the plane

Can't be ripping up that premium jet .....

That's fair, I didn't even consider that.

Overall, I found his personality off-putting. Whining about gloves, rude to his fashion team...he's an elite star who is one of the game's best. Guys like that are wired way differently than most but I didn't find him likeable. I'm sure he'd find me pathetic.

I don't disagree. The fact that he HAS a fashion team is a bit problematic to me.

I'm not defending Morikawa but they all have fashion teams for their brands. Those teams pick their outfits. The meeting he had was to get input on the new line of clothes and style

Yep. I play with a guy who is/was the Adidas fashion/apparel guy for DJ and Sergio - which made for a really interesting conversation during the initial LIV days.

Those meetings are usually normal as I understand it.

 

[fatness]

Finally into season 4 of The Tudors. My wife likes historical dramas with royal trappings and it is certainly that. There's lots of sex, pageantry, intrigue, double-crossing, and testosterone it in but it's not very well-presented and is repetitious.

[character(s) walk into room]

[character(s) walk out of room]
4 seasons of that.

I've tried to find interesting things to watch and can summarize them here: boobs and silly hats.
So we refer to this one as "T**s and Hats"

The lead guy is good but his refusal to get fat for the role was a mistake.

 

[leftcoastguy7]

I'm a fan of Jim Jefferies so I caught his latest stand-up on Netflix.
It was so-so. He did a hilarious bit on koalas that had me rolling.
Other bits that ran too long included male baldness, The Bachelor, trans people, sex positions.

 

[General Malaise]

Enjoyed Brooks Koepka's mom telling him to put his big boy pants on. Otherwise, he's a dolt. And he's not doing himself any favors with Plastic Jenna and her little bracelet with her name on it she makes him wear. She has that obnoxious speech pattern where the end of her sentence trails up in pitch. Ugh.

Otherwise I suppose they are perfect for each other. And I think maybe the move to LIV was in his best interest right now. Take the money, remove the pressure, try to have some fun.

Rory - wow. The old footage of him as a kid....just sensational. I'm a fan and have been for a while. I'm a bigger fan now.

Still haven't watched episodes 1 or 3. I'll watch 1 tonight but unless somebody can tell me I'm wrong, I'm skipping Ian Poulter.

Ranking the episodes I've seen:

Best: 6 - Don't Get Bitter Get Better. Finau and Colin....just remarkable stories and peek into personal lives. I was a little tough on Morikawa but to be fair, he's not one of the very best because he's a laid back, chill dude who likes Fritos and beer. I would encourage everybody - even non golf people - to watch episode 6: Full Swing on Netflix.

Runner-up: Episode 4 Imposter Syndrome. If you think most Pros are robotic, monotone, aloof (Woz, hi), buttoned-up, meet Joel Dahmen, your new favorite golfer to root for.

Honorable mentions: Episode 7 Golf is Hard. Profiles two highly entertaining and likeable rookies trying to win and fit in.

Episode 8 - really an ode (?) to Rory. Wonderful footage and story telling. Loved him asking for a red wine at his locker; just so laid back.

Big Meh on episodes 2, 5 - I've had LIV fatigue for months now and Matt Fitzpatrick bored me.

This has been a bored GM for Netflix sports.

I'm hoping I'll be done with the series by this weekend. For me, him getting fat wouldn't save it at all, but I'm not a history buff. I just think the scenes in the show are too numerous and poorly constructed. I still remain a fan of the boobies and silly hats, though.

Yeah this show is nuts. Binged through about half the season tonight.

1. I'm biased as I actually like watching Poulter (I love how competitive he is despite not being naturally talented), but I enjoyed the episode and it really makes him seem like a good human and dad. It is also probably the best expose (accent) as to why it makes sense for a pro golfer to switch to LIV.

2. Funny you should throw me into the Dahmen comment because I've actually played with the guy in the same tournament as I'm a closet member at his primary country club. What you see on the show is how he is and all the guys love him.

Under the Banner of Heaven (Streaming on Hulu)

7-episode mini-series true crime drama, based on the double murder of a wife and infant child.
From IMDB: "A devout detective's Mormon faith is tested as he investigates a brutal murder seemingly connected to an esteemed Utah family's spiral into LDS fundamentalism and their distrust in the government.

I wanted to like it, but it just fell short. Ran too long. Dragged painfully at times. However, I really liked Andrew Garfield as the lead detective and Gill Birmingham (from Yellowstone) as his partner. They're performance was really good, and kept me tuned in. If you have any interest in Mormonism or understanding it, you might find it to be worth your time. This goes into detail about the beginning of the religion through flashbacks and they tie the founding of the religion into the how a particular family became extremists.

It wasn't awful, but I can't recommend it.

Some of that might be because of how outdated it is in terms of the technology but that has been an interesting throw back looking at it as somewhat of a period piece. It definitely has a lot of great characters and how they are tying together has been interesting to see in the progressions over the seasons.

Eh, I can now watch it as general background noise while I'm doing other things or winding down in bed. So yeah it's 60 hours or whatever but it's broken up and spread way out over months. I'm in hotels a lot for work so usually I'll need something to put on from like 9:00 - 10:30 as I finish work for the night.

I still love it and find myself just putting it back on any time over mediocre shows I haven't seen. For instance, I've recently tried to get into The Peripheral, Slow Horses, etc. and while they're okay I often will choose The Wire over them.
