Sad stuff @USGA - we have totally lost the soul of what amateur golf was meant to be.
Need a total overhaul of this.
Watched Open from 10-11am — 30 min of Sky and 30 min of NBC and tracked shots shown, commercial time, average time showing pre shot routines.
Here is what I found- thread

4/ Time watching pre shot routines
Sky does a better jump jumping to shots close to when they happen or showing replay shots w/less pre shot time.
Youll always see some longer pre shots on live shots. But Sky gets us to avg of 8.1 sec of pre shot routine and NBC is at 10.1.
NBC and Fox Sports asking why people are watching Sky Sports feed for Open and Telemundo for World Cup over their domestic coverage.
@NoLayingUp
They really dont need to. We left on the 8pm train Fri and they added an additional service for weekend.
Now most dont want to get to NYC at midnight&some may still need to get to NJ or Westchester after but there are plenty of trains… people are just choosing to flee Wyndham
Hey @NoLayingUp - thoughts on Morikawa and English being -5.8 SG in foursomes over two days. Seemed impossible to predict this considering data told us they were the worst possible pairing.

Utter domination by Europe in this comp. Maybe a country vs a continent isn’t the best matchup?!?
@NoLayingUp
If we aren’t going to care about this comp let’s go back to playing GB & I or forfeit and play a mixed event. I’m sick of feeling like fans care more about Ryder Cup than players, captains or PGA of America. One massive money grab is how it feels. Winning? Whatever.

Stat of day 1
SG putting:
Europe +4.6
U.S. -4.6
It kind of is “just make putts.”
No penalty for missed tee shots, distance non factor for the most part. Just explain how Europe (who doesn’t have better putters statistically) always out putts the U.S.
@NoLayingUp @DJPie
Tickets are like 2k cheapest I saw in last year was 800. What “passionate” fan is going for that price. You’re gonna get the 800-5k fans. Not the 100-300 dollar fans.
This is my fifth Ryder Cup.
I was led to believe the first tee experience here at Bethpage would be the loudest, craziest and most hostile one yet.
It was not.
Not. Even. Close.

The path to profit on Sunday of Tour Champ… fade Pat and Tommy.
This strategy guarantees profit if they both lose. Hit fairly big return if Scottie wins, very big if Keegan wins.
Laid small amount to test the theory.
@TronCarterNLU @NoLayingUp
I agree this is actually something they have nailed. It’s one of the only LIV things I find intriguing. PGA tour under new leadership should take note and figure out how to replicate this in some way.
