the way Patrick Reed goes about his business but the key to cheating is picking your spots. A 4-shot lead on Saturday is probably a good time to play it straight, but this kid just loves to compete.
Parents - STOP grooming your kid to be a

player, it's a waste of time. If you really love them, teach them how to carry a 14 index and shoot 77 when they absolutely have to.
Scottie Scheffler:
"My identity isn't a golf score. Like Meredith told me this morning, if you win this golf tournament, if you lose by ten shots, if you never win another golf tournament again, I'm still going to love you, you're still going to be the same person."

If you avg 220 off the tee with a driver and find yourself on a 220 yd par 3.....hit the hybrid. Because hitting driver on a par 3 is a universal sign of weakness.
"First Responders" and "Front Line Workers" get all the accolades, but I just gave a bunker lesson to a 62 year old woman with a 32 index in 102 degree heat.

OUT OF BOUNDS because Frank’s an asshole and won’t let people hit shots out of his yard.
Some personal news. I received word this audio (which was secretly recorded in the cart barn) is coming out later today in an effort to harm me. I've chosen to release it now (unedited) to get out ahead of it. Again, I won't be blackmailed (BRANDON!).
Amateurs always ask me...whats it take to get to the top? Talent (obviously). But we also set

. Here’s

and my ‘18-‘19 goals side by side.
Oosthuizen on left, me on right. Notice how he gets his hands closer to the target at

ball striker.
@TheOpen
For a guy who’s supposed to have a high golf IQ, Tiger’s finish today was a terrible display of handicap maintenance as he heads into member/guest SZN.
Tinkering with my
#wedge
setup for TNML tomorrow. I normally don’t like a 25 degree
#gap
between wedges but the 80 degree allows me to swing
#full
from 10-12 yards out. So it stays in the bag.
It's pretty crazy that the most consequential golfer of the last 40 years hasn't said a word about one of the most monumental moments in the history of the professional game.
Doing one of my favorite all-time putting
#drills
. I line up a ball at 6”, 12” and 18” in 4 different rows. Can’t leave until I make 9 out of 12.

Members - I'm getting a ton of complaints about the new
#white
tee box on 6 but if you can't handle a 240 yard forced carry maybe find another sport.
