It will be interesting to see what happens to the initial LIV golfers when their contracts start to expire at the end of this year. Rumors are that Koepka isn't happy with LIV and would like to rejoin the PGA Tour, I'm sure there are others. LIV golf annual revenue doesn't even come close to paying what they are given out in tournament prizes alone never mind some of the crazy bonuses they handed out. Saudi PIF has some deep pockets but you have to wonder how much more money they are willing to dump into a bad investment.

I think LIV will die of a slow death. Or, it will be relegated to the league of "has-beens" and "ne'er do wells."

I have never watched a LIV golf event in its entirety, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I tried to watch one tournament and it was not easy to follow so I gave up.

I got my LAB putter about 3 weeks ago. I have always been a terrible putter. For years and up until I got my LAB putter, a good round is 33 putts but most rounds are closer to 40 putts. With the LAB putter, my worst round was 35 putts, and normal is about 32 to 33 putts. Today I had 27 putts, 9 one-putts and 9 two-putts. I am a believer!

Played Carlton Woods (Fazio course) with my friends in The Woodlands yesterday. It was hot, humid and the greens were soft from all the rain.

I haven't played for several months due to a surgery recovery so it was nice getting back out. I actually played pretty well for being off that long.

It already is mostly has-beens and no names albeit with maybe a few exceptions like Koepka, DeChambeau, C Smith, Rahm, Niemann.

Might not be such a good idea to live next to a golf course.

Researchers found that those living within a mile of golf courses have 126 percent higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease than those who live more than six miles away, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Those that live in golf course communities are older than average, I wonder if they correct the data for this.
Well water can and should be tested for heavy metals, chemicals, etc.
