The Golf Thread

I went to the Ryder Cup at Valhalla back in the early/mid 2000s. One of the best sports experiences of my life. Love the venue, hope it sticks around.

Apparently its architectural style (not very naturalistic) has fallen out of favor with some.

I'm not even sure it was an entitled move. He was in a PGA-marked courtesy car, and security (who he thought the police were) is told to let those drive around wherever during the tournament. This seems like that one time out of 10,000 where "Hey, this is just a big misunderstanding!" is actually true.

I get why in the heat of the moment they stopped him, but I wonder if after a few minutes the police suspected or knew who he was and just went through with the arrest because of the appearance they'd be giving him special treatment if they let him go. This is the same PD that shot and killed Breonna Taylor a few years ago and still are probably super sensitive to potential bad PR.

Did you hear the manner in which one of the cops was speaking to Darlington about Scheffler?

Scottie will either go +5 or 10 under, there is no in-between.

It will be in-between

Saw the clip where one said "There's nothing you can do about it. He's going to jail"

Agreed. I was there yesterday for the first round and really enjoyed it.

I suppose the it was more about the smart ass tone he used than the actual words

FREE SCOTTIE

And after all that goes out and shoots -5 to currently sit at T2 lol just unreal. I went out this morning and shot 45 through 9 after topping my first drive about 30 yards and the only distraction on my way to the course was McDonalds forgetting the hashbrown with my combo

Yeah, but once Scheffler bonded out, he didn't have to worry about anything. You just had to spend 9 holes focused on not crapping yourself after eating at McDonald's. I'd argue that your +9 was just as heroic as his -5.

I did spend 9 holes worrying about 1 hole, fair call.

Not getting the hash brown had to affect you mentally. I'm thinking it cost you about 5 shots

The struggle is real. Believe me . . . I could fill this thread with pages of harrowing tales of close calls on the golf course.

Nice call. I was thinking it would be 68-71, because he's such a steady player. He's a freaking clinic in action

The most surprising and disturbing thing about all this is that cop uniform pants cost $80.

Ehh, it's about the same for military trousers (yes they still call them that).

Rain gear isn’t cheap

Those golf shorts Scottie had on when arrested cost about $80. More disturbing

“Scottie Sheffler..who crawled through a river of sh*t and came out with 66 on the other side.”

I can confirm. It was a disaster getting to the course yesterday. Confusion over rideshare drop off points, shuttles, buses, and private car services entering or attempting to enter at the wrong locations.

Dude's got ice in his veins.

Valhalla may have just seen its last major for a while.

I don't know what is worse, the broadcast coverage or the LMPD's decision to arrest Scottie.
