Yup. 
 

my favorite pandemic rule was if you hit the pin it counts. 
 

Talk about arguments on the golf course…

 

*clink*
”that counts!”

”the **** it does go putt that out”

”it hit the pin! Pandemic rules!”

”it hit the top of the pin get out of here with your bull****”

Rory has got this in the bag as long as he doesn't bogey the back 9.

…and then, Cam Smith’s putter.

 

Also, how can you not root for a guy who plays exclusively in a bucket hat. Even if his parents chose to name him Barclay.

Arkansas man suing country club after they refuse to give him the truck they promised as a hole-in-one prize

 

Buckle up, folks. We have a hole-in-one car controversy brewing in Arkansas! This week, a Conway man by the name of Austin Clagett filed a lawsuit against Morrilton Country Club. Clagett played in the club’s “Tournament of the Century” on Saturday, a three-person scramble format with a buy-in of $375. Before the tournament, Morrilton Country Club promoted a 2022 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercrew as a prize for the first person to hit a hole-in-one of the course’s 10th hole. That truck had a sticker of prize of $53,595 and was allegedly donated by nearby Ford dealership Jay Hodge Ford of Morriltown. So far, so good.

 

But here’s where the problems start. Against all odds, Clagett went out and aced the 10th hole. According to reports, it was a good, clean ace. It didn’t happen on a provisional. It didn’t happen out of turn. A letter-of-the-law "one." When Clagett went to claim his new ride after round, however, Morrilton Country Club wouldn’t turn over the keys.

 

Clagett’s lawyer Andrew Norwood issued the following statement on behalf of his client:

 

“This is about doing what is right. Mr. Clagett lived up to his end of the deal when he got the hole-in-one and now Morrilton Country Club and Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton want to crawfish out of the deal. If they didn’t want to pay up when Mr. Clagett got a hole-in-one, they shouldn’t have offered the deal.”

Interesting. I didn't realize this as I haven't watched any of the LIV events.

 

Like everything Trump touches, LIV Golf has become about him

 

MIAMI — Jordan Gilbert, a professional golfer, had always felt a little out of place at PGA Tour events.

It was for the rich “country club kids,” said Gilbert, as he paused along the Trump National Doral grounds. His wife, Allie, explained that he didn’t fit in at the PGA because “he's patriotic.”

For them, like many others who gathered here over the weekend, LIV Golf provided an antidote to all that. It was an everyman’s event — the populist version of a golf tour. Its chief executive, Greg Norman, was a swashbuckler as a player who would prove to be an iconoclast as a tour leader. It was a place where people like Gilbert could be less buttoned up, less shy about their politics.

As evidence, Gilbert, who was not playing this weekend, sported a “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt while near the first hole.

“To me honestly, PGA Tour did Trump dirty whenever they took the tour away from here,” Jordan said, referencing the tour’s decision to move an event from Trump’s Doral course years ago.

Allie Gilbert wasn’t wearing garb mocking the current White House occupant. She had on a LIV Golf T-shirt instead. “Ninety-nine percent of the community here” were Donald Trump supporters, she offered, saying she couldn’t understand why the PGA made the move. “I just don’t get it.”

Like many things that the former president touches, professional golf is quickly fracturing along the fault line of whether or not one backs Trump. LIV Golf, the Saudi-bankrolled tour that roiled the worlds of golf and Washington alike, is becoming the vehicle for that litmus test.
