By far the biggest problem is that there are vanishingly few sponsors outside the U.S. who will put up the kin...

Did you really think a septuagenarian along with two reality show contestants was ever going to be able to start a social media platform? It was always going to go this way, everything about it is scammy. From the people running it, to going public via SPAC to all the crazy lawsuits being f...

If any of these idiots would actually do some research on it, they'd realize how dumb all their talking points are.
I don't remember the specifics right now, but it only has something like 9 million users and no profits.[/quote]

I think the Rory stuff is completely made up out of thin air but the Hovland stuff potentially has legs. He was in the rumor mix when Rahm and Hatton went over (along with Wyndham Clark...

re: Who is the third best golfer of all time?
Posted by AbuTheMonkey on 4/12/24 at 10:15 pm
Hogan and I don't think it's that close.
He is T-4 for all time majors and wasn't playing against a bunch of glorified ams like Hagen was for much of his career. He is 4th all time in Tour wins.
He lost 3 prime years due to service in the military during WWII and then lost another prime year ...

Of all the LIV guys, I think DJ has been the most open about how he has lost the drive to be great. Plus he is 39 at this point - not exactly a spring chicken.

And Mayr's work on speciation was all done before the advent of genome mapping. "Not connected by a series of intermediates" - which intermediates?

[quote]I shouldn't of said chronological. That was stupid. What I mean is like what Ernst Mayr, a famous evolutionary biologist, and many others have said because it's fact, "new species usually appear in the fossil record suddenly, not connected with their ancestors by a series of intermediates."

Theegala is hot and a good course fit.
Bryson is hot and not a good course fit.
Reed is not hot but is a good course fit when he's in form. He either seems to bomb out or play really well - no in between....
