I only recognize 2 people from the Vatu Tribe.


I am a little disappointed. It is most likely due to them knocking it out of the park with the season 40 casting.

Of course snake bit guy is back


That's not snake bite guy. That is Jonathan from a few seasons ago that dominated every challenge.

Jim, I'm not sure what you are getting at. You won't be able to sign a contract with the PGA Tour to get into these big events. You will have to earn it. Then, it sounds like they are trying to get rid of sponsor exemptions that allow stars that don't belong (Bubba, Kaymer, Westwood) to be in the events on name only.

You’re trying to say guys are hitting it further than they used to


Yes. What is funny about that? All of the scoring records at these PGA Tour courses are being set in the last few years.

Money over Tradition will always destroy what you actually loved in the first place. Just give it time.


Technology is killing tradition in golf. Every year, more and more courses are not playable due to technology nullifying the course. Having said that, the traditional courses the fans know (Pebble, Riviera, Muirfield) are not going anywhere.

Becoming more like LIV?

only a matter of time until they’re playing music & wearing shorts at PGA Events


None of this sounds like LIV. If they can somehow make all the big tournaments merit based without sponsor exemptions, I would be impressed.

quote:

• The goal is a more merit-based setup: promote the hot performers, relegate the mediocre ones. Ditch stuff like protected status for veterans who can’t hack it anymore, tiny fields with no cuts, and sponsor exemptions into the big-money weeks. Make it easier for young/new talent to climb up.
The trailer was ok for me, then Johnny Cage says "It's show time", the classic music drops in, and I was sold.

As for the OP. I think you meant divided into 3 tribes of 8. My biggest head scratcher was bringing back the neurotic girl on the Cila tribe that had so much trouble socially to start.

Is it too much to ask for a remake of Ocarina of Time with a BOTW sized world to explore?


But why? Hyrule Field was already a ton of empty space on 64. I know people hate on degrading weapons in BOTW and TOTK, but it encouraged exploration. If most of the weapons are in dungeons, there won't be a big reason to go exploring.

Having said that, I would love to see the next game go back to the classic style of linear dungeons. I am curious what they would do to make it feel expansive.

Clown league. Can the rules of football just stay the same for a while?


I disagree. This is what the UFL should be doing. Throw shite at the wall and see what sticks.

College Station is a great college town.


Agreed. I was raised an LSU fan and have two degrees from there. I'd still much rather my kids go to aTm than LSU.
Are you asking what is the minimum 18 hole par for something to be considered a full golf course?

ETA: Just saw this bot's odd question on wetness on the OT. I regret asking my question.

Minish Cap is a lot of fun. I think it is one of the more underrated Zeldas.

but your average MLBer isn't putting in that much work in the weight room.


Do you really believe this? Most pro golfers put in work in the weight room these days, and you think the average MLBer isn't putting in that much work?
I just googled and it seems like he's not doing well and isn't really in the movie. That's a shame.
Maybe I wasn't paying hard enough attention, but I only saw Tommy, Ada, and a glimpse of the Johnny Dogs. Where is Arthur and the other characters?

Just looked it up. Looks like Arthur is in the cast.

Curling.



I don't know. Just watching the USA mixed pair, the guy was doing all of the sweeping. He was busting his arse the entire time. I am not sure the women have the same stamina.
I'll be interested to hear some responses as well. We are going there for our annual golf trip in May. I was kind of shocked at the prices. I figured this would be a cheaper year compared to Sand Valley in 24 and Bandon in 25. We are saving on no airfare at least.

What pros do or don't do on the golf course any given week couldn't have less to do with making the game of golf interesting. The vast majority of golfers do not watch even one minute of professional golf.


Then bifurcate. Give me the best of both worlds. More entertaining golf to watch and more enjoyable golf to play.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of down votes you are getting. I'm for it, and I think it probably needs to be harsher. We are heading towards the Old Course being added to the list of classic courses that can't have tournaments because they are too small. I don't know if anything needs to be done for amateurs and how that transition works, but I'm all for doing something (balls, smaller driver heads, etc.) to reign in the pro game.

The "Razor's Edge": He has described his high-speed game as "living on the razor's edge," noting that while his standard carry is around 320–325 yards, even a "towed" (mishit off the toe) shot can still carry 337 yards.




I like watching Bryson, but I think we need to bring some punishment back to the game if you mishit a club.

Cypress traffic staaaaaaaaacked


Traffic is already terrible out here for being 30 miles from downtown. Maybe the Texans can throw some money towards getting Greenhouse opened up to 290 quicker than they are planning.
