I’ve said this before - people forget all the time that #golf is supposed to be a FUN, recreational activity that is great for our mental/physical health. Most of us are not professionals. When playing or being a fan stops being fun/healthy, you should prob find something else.

Update: my brother acquitted himself quite well at Pasa! Broke 100, barely. 😎 Funny moment: he was in between clubs on one hole, we were talking it through, and he was like “ok this will be a 10:30 8 iron.” And he actually did it! 😳😱😮
People ask me why I think @YouTube golf is so great? Ex: My brother is a new golfer - playing 3-4 years but only taken it seriously the last year - he’s got the bug BAD now! We were on the range today & he watches a ton of @GrantHorvatGolf & @brysondech on YT. He credits their content with helping him drop 10 shots from info he’s picked up in their videos. No other instruction. He broke 85 for the 1st time recently. You don’t have to be a kid to get something out of YouTube golf. New golfers are the biggest beneficiary. It presents golf in a fun, relatable & entertaining way. We need more of that, not less. PS I’ve warned him that @PasatiempoGolf is going to humble him. We find out Friday. 😎

The @RyderCupEurope account has just been trolling the P-Cup this week with their content. They are not the same. 😂
Team Europe shots from Bethpage, but they keep getting better 📈🔥

Looking back #LIVGolf Boston was so lit🔥. ✅ Matt Wolff hole in one. ✅ Cam Smith (T-4) & Joaco (T-2) debuts. ✅ Sihwan Kim shot 87 R1 then 63 the next day! ✅ DJ walk-off eagle for the win in the playoff.

The 🐘 in the room when it comes to @RyderCupUSA is Scottie Scheffler's pedestrian record in team competitions: 2-2-3 in the Ryder Cup (2 appearances) 3-5-1 in the Presidents Cup (2 appearances). That's 5-7-4 overall. Not great! For reference, Jon Rahm is 6-3-3; P. Reed 7-3-2.

It seems to me the the golf establishment hates change. They hate YouTube golf, they hate shotgun starts, they hate music on the course, they hate team golf, they hated 54 hole tournaments, they hate livelier broadcasts and they hate global golf.

Good info here re: Valderrama. I’ve spoken to Javier (GM) previously & they have a great relationship with LIV. I don’t think an event every year is necessary, but at least every other year is ideal. I love watching tournament golf there & it deserves great events. 💯
Valderrama's long-term future as a tour venue is uncertain after LIV bankruptcy. But a reunion with the DP World Tour is not being ruled out. Story @TheTodaysGolfer: todays-golfer.com/news-and-e…

I always thought if @DPWorldTour couldn’t host their playoffs in the Middle East, Valderrama is a great alternative.

The 1st time I heard Bryson mention the Mr Beast comparison was when I asked him about his @YouTube channel almost 3 years ago at @livgolf_league Miami. It’s amazing to see him actually doing what he set out to do. ✅ @brysondech
Honestly shame on us for not seeing "Bryson goes full Mr. Beast of golf" coming

#TalesFromtheRyderCup has been a great watch on @GolfChannel. Here’s Paul Casey talking about 2018 when Jon Rahm was a rookie. This is what great leadership is all about - and that translates to the people that come after you. @ROLEX @RyderCup 🍾 shower skills translate too!😂

When a young Jon Rahm took down Tiger at the Ryder Cup! I hated him for it then (I feel differently now) but will never forget this reaction! 🔥🍿
When Jon Rahm did THIS on his Ryder Cup debut at Le Golf National 🇫🇷🔥

Arch got 19 questions and gave less than a minute in total answers after being ripped for laughing at a meme. Watch this. This is what bogus media criticism creates, what incentive do athletes have to be honest? Zero.

This is how you engage young fans & Bryson has mastered this concept. Distilling a competition down to an IG reel-length to make it more digestible for kids. ✅ PS if you don’t like it or understand it, you’re a traditionalist & it’s not for you. Fine. Just watch the P-Cup. 🤷🏽‍♂️
This was a crazy start 😳

2019 was the last good Presidents Cup. Great course. Full teams. Close matches. Memorable moments. 2028 has the ingredients but I don’t see it getting much better without major changes.
Throwback to Justin Thomas going NUCLR at the 2019 Presidents Cup… “C’mon baby! That’s what I’m talking about” 🔥 Who should JT be paired with week at Medinah? 📹 @Skratch
