Golf: No Bones, just Bonesaws

Sucks it was such a bummer. I’ve definitely had the experience once or twice playing Twilight rates at nice courses because it’s so much cheaper but it definitely detracts to sit there waiting while you’re trying to race the sunset.

Especially at Sawgrass where 17 and 18 are the signature holes it really sucks to have that happen.

Scott Fawcett getting called out by Justin Thomas… not sure if situation is rut roh or no publicity is bad publicity

I mean Scott very clearly leans into it.

I’d say Scott just needs to grow the hell up. Just no reason to be dropping FU’s to commentators. You’re someone with some relevance and not a rando dude on Twitter. You can be a truth teller and critical of the booth guys without being a total jagoff about it.

I think part of it is outside of Zalatoris a lot of the prominent DECADE guys have regressed to the mean (Stewart Cink for example). Zalatoris is a generational talent and likely would be at or near the top of the golf world with any world class coach.

It’s a sad attempt to stay relevant and honestly those texts don’t read like someone who was sober when they launched them into the void.

def read like drunken tweets, and deleting them afterwards supports that.

Also let’s be honest. A lot of the DECADE stuff is very basic. Make pars on holes with tucked pins by hitting to the middle of the green. Go for par 5s. Hit driver as much as possible. I have a Nicklaus book written in the 60s that has fairly similar advice (and lots of not so good advice imo). Fawcett deserves some credit for capitalizing on a heater but nothing about his “system” is something that can’t be recreated easily by anyone or that wasn’t becoming pretty close to the norm in golf anyways.

He doesn’t luckbox knowing Zalatoris(and Zalatoris doesn’t go on an early majors heater) and none of the rest of this happens for him.

I have no idea who Scott Fawcett is.

I’m jealous.

I think the true thing that was revolutionary from DECADE was the shotgun blast idea from your Trackman data with each club and using that to pick an ideal landing spot.

I KNEW that name sounded familiar.

Loooool Patrick. The lawsuit reads like it was written by a real douchebag too. Upon further review this checks out as his attorney is Larry Klayman. Famous for being the founder of Judicial Watch.

Cliffs: see ya never, Scott

Looks like Scott owes someone 1 million dollars.

“They also broadly sign away their media rights from LIV events. Ironically, one of Mickelson’s biggest gripes with the Tour was how they handle media rights.” :thinking:
