🏌️ The HGA: The Hype Golf Association!

[InCali]

As I said, I don't watch golf as much as I used to, but will watch the major tournaments and that includes the PGA. One of the commentators took a bunch of golf balls and dropped them while walking horizontally across the green and they all rolled from different directions to the same spot off the green. Then he showed how difficult the shot from that spot was. So, if you don't land the ball in just the right spot on the green, the ball is gonna roll off and give you a very difficult next shot.

I thought that was a really cool illustration.

Good for him!

Tiger will always have a complicated legacy for me. I’m have tons of admiration for him and his dominance of the sport. But there really wasn’t much about him that I ever found likable beyond his almost robotic skill level.

That said, I admit that I actually got emotional when I saw him win his last major. We had watched many PGA majors as a family and my kids have thought of Rory as the most dominant player that they had seen up until that point. My wife and I tried to explain Tiger’s dominance to them and it was unfathomable to them.

I described it to them as this:
“Imagine Tom Brady. Now imagine if Tom Brady, as Patrick Mahommes emerged and started challenging him, stepping on Mahommes’ throat and saying ‘you will never be at my level.’ Such that Mahommes was sent cowering back into the locker room. Because that would s a taste of what a Tiger was like.”
