Am wondering if this is all a bit scripted.
They'd be a great pairing for the Ryder Cup though

Devastating for John Rahm. Way out in front and even a hole in one, but has to withdraw after testing positive for Covid.
Leading by six shots, golfer learns he is COVID positive on live TV

Gutted for him.
Loving the Keopka v De Chambeau spat.

Ok fellas, I need help. I have been a very occasional golfer at times, just hack around a few holes at times with mates. Never got close to 100 for 18 holes (probably only tried a couple of times, and nowhere near 50 on 9 holes. I have a set of Cleveland HB3 irons, about 15 years old.
So now I retired and getting older and slower I decided I might try a bit of golf, joined a local club (Eltham) just a small country club. They have a 9 hole haggle on mid week which suits me at this stage etc. Thing is I tempted to get some new clubs, the ones I got now don't quite feel right, ( they almost look like hybrids) and while in gold warehouse salesman reckoned a set of GWX Platinum men series would do me nicely. thay seem pretty flexible graphite shafts, but becuase they had a few trying clubs I didn't get a chance to try them. Anyon got any advice etc, I don't want to spend a fortune and at 67 , I not going to play forever, and swing speed certainly not going to increase. -
@dan54 well you certainly need to try them, ideally on a course rather than just the range.
I just googled those clubs, and yeah they arent 'standard' irons by the look (personally never been a fan of most Cleveland stuff which tended to be a bit different)
But at your age, there are certainly plenty of clubs that can assist you, so ideally try a few different ones, there are alot of variables to golf clubs, but ultimately, you will know if it feels right.

I know this dude is pretty divisive, on tour with players and fans, but I like watching him hit the ball (hate his putting set up)
Saw a post earlier showing him playbthe 18th, the amount of people ripping him for only making par and shooting 60 was ridiculous.
All of Bryson DeChambeau's top shots from Friday at the BMW...
8 birdies 🐦 2 eagles 🦅 A new career-best 🙌 Bryson DeChambeau nearly carded a 59 on Friday at the BMW Championship.

Anyone watching the Ryder Cup?
Some vocal crowds...even some booing, singing, chanting while players hitting shots

That's really shitty.

@tim yeah I can deal with noise, but typical boorish US fans...USA, USA chants...they even like Bryson today!

@tim I do like watching him hit the ball

@taniwharugby that's insane
