Golfingboy Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Unreal for golf fans in my country…..we might have a 5th different Canadian winner on PGA, since only October. As I stated before, growing up we were lucky to have 2 guys on Tour in the top 125 $……that many winners just boggles the mind. Somebody must have changed how these guys develop and are encouraged/supported. Taylor’s win in Toronto to break a 69 year drought in the 🇨🇦 Open, especially with that long eagle…..made me so proud Anyway, hoping Pendrith can have a good weekend Edited June 30, 2023 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to see Hadwin take it, Fowler got a very generous drop but he made the most of his chances when it counted. Morikawa lipped out at slow speed on 18, they all had multiple birdies that just missed……it’s an easy course for them Hopefully Rickie can get that elusive major, but turning 35, time is ticking away. I’m pulling for him, he’d be a popular champion, just look at the fans today dressed in his OK ST Sunday orange 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) WTF? Enough with the plastic surgery already! Holly Sonders was one hot mama, ex-college golfer who was on Golf Channel a while back as an instructor/host. She was many a man’s wet dream(guilty 🫣). Now she’s starting a sports league with OnlyFans & other models playing nearly naked. Great! But seeing her new photos, and she’s dating De La Hoya, Ugh! Why do they get all this work done I f they just end up uglier ? Looked so much better years ago….. Edited July 3, 2023 by Golfingboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 @Stillearly Something when horribly wrong for her. When you’re beating adults at 10-11, and almost winning majors at 15, she should have been better than Annika. Anyway, she had that guaranteed endorsements $, and started a family with an even wealthier man. Good on her I don’t dislike her(unlike Nelly Korda, that Solheim Cup hole cemented my feelings), it’s just maybe the biggest waste of talent ever, and that’s including BOTH sexes. That’s why I’m always very wary when the media talks about “the next big thing”….some players peak in their teens,sad but true. We had a kid in Montreal in the 90’s, destroyed all the members at his private club….didn’t even make it to Korn Ferry. Chinese kid Guan made the cut in MASTER AT 14, where is he now? Rose Zhang seems to be the real deal, won her debut then almost won a major the next week. But whether it’s over analyzing, bad mental game, or just the sheer amount of gifted young players worldwide, success in amateur ranks is no guarantee of greatness. Wie is the perfect example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think her first was in Canada, IIRC private club in Calgary I met a few members from Anyway, when you sell your next hedge fund, please take me to Pebble Beach, pretty please? 🙏😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) @Stillearly I stand corrected…..was her 2nd career win of 5, and Priddis in Calgary was the host the previous year Edited July 8, 2023 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was that good, imagine almost half the field got beat by a woman? Just remembered another factoid…..My cousin who I’ve met like twice in my life, married a golfer. Lazy woman, overweight but lots of natural talent. So she stayed with my parents in Montreal early 2000’s, had some kind of tourney. Well she was allowed a guest for a practice round, so Dad joined for $90, which is saying a lot because back then he rarely went over $35 including cart! Private track, so he jumped at the chance Well they were paired with Isabelle Beiseigel, local French girl. Dad said she hit 3 flagsticks on the fly, yes really! Anyway, during the Wie craze of playing against men, Isabelle went to PGA men’s qualifying school…..WTF? Got ridiculed, and never did anything on LPGA either…..back then making a cut guaranteed you only $800 some weeks, expenses way more than that Yup, was à ridiculous thing to try, although Michelle & Annika came close to making a weekend Edited July 8, 2023 by Golfingboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 @Stillearly Again I stand corrected, Annika wasn’t as close as I thought. Still an amazing performance, no wonder she was dominating the LPGA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) @Stillearly Another factoid from my girl Isabelle…..I guess playing with the boys made her appreciate a pint or two….Not exactly winning at Pebble Beach, is she? I swear, you cannot invent this shite ! 😂😂😂 Honestly though, was a great player, had a USA college scholarship and married her classmate very young at Oklahoma, and took his surname…..I knew it didn’t sound very French Edited July 8, 2023 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 What an attempt….although assuming the green and tree haven’t eroded in 13 years, easier for a male to achieve the same distance. Impossible for a lady to reach off the ground A hole out could make it interesting, Corpuz could still drive one into the Pacific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Steph Curry sure knows how to find the hole under pressure….20 footer for eagle on the 18th to win the Celebrity Championship. What a nice setting on Lake Tahoe too Some arsehole tried getting his 2 seconds of fame yelling in the runner-ups driver backswing on same hole…shame we still see this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
