Welcome! Where are you, you ask. I’m calling it this weekend 9. Think of it as a place to warm you for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We will have thoughts. We will have tips. We will have tweets. But only nine at all, though sometimes perhaps more and sometimes perhaps less. How much for whom am I? The paragraphs below show some of the stories. I can reach nick.piastowski@golf.com.
I promise this will not be preached. Or syrup.
After all, this starts with a hard blow by hitting a 50 -meter tree about 100 yards away, then recoking it at about 4 hours, before we finished 10 meters below the hole we would just finish, about 50 yards to our right. The only thing higher than the chances of this event was the degree of absurdity. And Matt heard of him. It was his golf ball that he would play more like a billiard ball.
Good things. And this is what is my annual golf journey, which I continued last week. (Should you be interested, I have written to here, here AND here.) We go to Green Lake, Wis. (About 90 minutes north from where I grew up), we play Lawsonia Double, Mascoutin and Tuscumbia (which is just down the road from our Airbnb) and we play golf, eat and watch the old Pro wrestling on YouTube (sometimes all right away). Going are Matt and Ethan; They are friends of the college. And another matt; He is a high school friend. And Todd, whom I have known since the classroom school. You have this group. You have this trip.
And isn’t this “point?”
Remember Scottie Scheffler existentially reflecting In that in the open championship? About a month after he wondered why he should try to win, and after he wondered why he should try to win when things like family matter endlessly more, and after he wondered “what is the point”, I would think about it all.
Then somewhere after a trick and a beer, I remembered the answer. Sometimes it is lost between electronic posts and meeting invitations. But that is why we respond to all those messages. That is why we rush. That is why we continue to rush.
The answer is the emotion of climbing, despite your climb. And the ability to celebrate it, in all sorts of strange and wonderful ways.
As with the golf balls from the trees.
Let’s see if we can find eight more items for weekend 9.
A receipt from Java
2 One of the best stories of the week? Was Jimmy ABDO’s game in this week’s amateur in the US, and UNDER It’s a video from James Colgan of Golf watching it.
An intake for next week
3 Before this week BMW championshipPart of the conversation focused on the Tour Championship of the next week, where the PGA Tour event ending the season will undergo its latest reconstruction. The latter format is simple to follow, though it all starts on the manager’s table, and the tour winner is the winner of the seasonal-but season, for now, we will not weigh if it is the best format.
Because we want to offer this suggestion:
Finish the Pro Golf season with a PGA championship in August.
Of course, there is a question of what happens to all the money and such dedicated to the current PGA Tour Play off, but someone smart can probably understand that part.
A receipt for the month ahead
4. Also in BMW, and in any tour this summer, there were questions whether KEEGAN BRADLEY Should be a captain playing for the next Ryder cup. To act here, I liked this opinion from our Slack channel this week:
“Two weeks out. I am of the belief that whoever thinks he is not choosing himself is meaningless.”
Which was followed by this comment:
“He wanted to be in another team for a decade. He may not take another chance. He will not play willingly? Be serious.”
I agree. The question is, how poor Bradley would have to play over the next two weeks to avoid choosing himself.
An intake for the following weeks
5. This week’s Liv Golf’s event is the first of the two events that end the season, and promises to determine if the players will “move” outside the league for the next season. Should they fall below 48 in the seasonal points race, they are out-and on the game, names known as Henrik Stenson AND Ian Poulter They were among those who sought to avoid that fate.
The drama of the Liv tour cards will certainly be engaging. But contract negotiations must be even more. Deals for some of Livi’s biggest stars are reported to end at the end of next year – Bryson Dechambeau Foli his negotiations In June at US Open – and if they are renewed it is the biggest liv story.
6. In Liv Liv Golf News, Sebastian Munoz shot a 59 during the first round of Friday – with a double noise in his fourth hole. After double, he played his last 14 holes in a ridiculous preceding 13 under.
A guidance advice for your weekend
7 I liked this exchange on Friday between a reporter and Robert MacintreWith the reporter’s question in Italy:
Questions about golf and timid. You used the word “war”. I have heard that you use that word too over the past three or four years. Does what it means to you because we are talking about the war in Shinty, when it can be physical, and fight in golf, when it cannot be. What is your definition to be a good fighter when you are playing a very quiet sport?
“Yes, I’m not very quiet in the golf course,” Macintyre said. “But Shinty is a sport of physical contact, where war is not so much physical war, but it is like, don’t go half -hearted; don’t go 50/50 in a solution; this is when you get hurt. Go 100 percent in a solution, and we hope to get the solution. If not, you go back and go again.
“Golf is correct – this is the way I treat it. Yesterday I hit a bad blow in 12 in the water. When it’s a hard test, I find it easier when you know that people are doing bogeys. But it was just going there, think of what you are doing, and it’s more about me.
“For me, it’s just try most until it is done and someone tells you to stop.”

A story to see
11 At the end of last month, I traveled to Olympus, Wash., For a story, and she has to publish somewhere in the coming weeks. It is deeper. I can’t find out much, but I’ll say they asked me several times if I would interview a prison in prison before.
Nick Pastowski is an old editor on Golf.com and Golf Magazine. In his role, he is responsible for editing, writing and developing stories throughout the golf space. And when he is not writing about ways to hit the golf ball farther and narrower, Milwaukee’s locals are probably playing the game, hitting the ball left, right and short, and drinking a cold beer to wash his result. You can turn to him for any of these topics – his stories, his game or his beers – in Nick.piastowski@golf.com.
