re: Are We Watching Season 2 of The Internet Invitational?

Some of these rules questions seemed fake and forced. Since the golf has been crap, had to come up with some other drama.

Exactly what I thought, made up drama to make it more entertaining.

They basically handed Riggs a win as a “4 hdcp” playing Cheddy.

Proceeds to try to bust on him on 2 incredibly hardo rules. Makes a putt for a bogey to tie the match and screams like he just completed the grand slam. Wearing untucked polo, unbuttoned, over some swim trunks looking shorts.

What an absolute tool this guy is.

Cheddy kept calling him a country club golfer. But those clothes wouldn’t fly at any decent club

Same. Sam made that up. Weak.

I didn't see it move and honestly don't think it should matter if it did in a tournament of this caliber golfer. I can't see Sam just making it up though. Possibly just didn't see something correctly. But should have stayed quiet and let it go. And kind of think he wasn't convinced to really make a deal out of it, but Wesley is not the right person to bring it up to there. He's a bit of a wildcard to know if he's going to push for you to take it further. Especially when I think he had a very high chance of winning the hole anyway if I recall correctly.

I actually thought that Sam might strangle her when they were paired up. He seemed like all he wanted was for her to shut up and she just kept yapping at him.

And Riggs got outplayed in the match on top of that. 1st hole hits a fence post to prevent his ball from going OB, hole was halved. 2nd hole flares his tee shot to a par three way right, hits a rock and bounces straight left onto the green, hole halved again. And then you have what transpired on the last hole where both hit hit into the same shite, but Cheddy can't indentify his ball so he gets a 2 stroke penalty and loses the match. A 3 handicap * Riggs claims shouldn't need as much luck as he had to beat a drunk Cheddy

The whole lost ball thing was pretty dumb bc they ended up playing it as a hazard 1 stroke penalty which benefitted him more bc his ball was buried in a bush by a rock wall. In reality it should have been 2 strokes.

I think all of them have realized that arguing over rules and creating drama is what drives the watchers crazy so they are leaning into it.

ETA I think the white team has the most entertaining people left so in that sense I’m glad that group won. They have a lot of likable people

you can mark a ball behind, in front, or to the side, as long as you replace it back in the same place. Gaethje thought your couldn't mark it to the side at all.

can also use a tee, that kind of defeats the point of marking it for someone to putt past you.

Cheddy didn't break any rules except maybe not being able to identify his ball which is probably more because he was drunk. but watching the tee shot and where that ball went and the ball they were looking at. i got it at about 95% it was his ball.

Watch him throughout the entire match. He has zero golf etiquette. Sure, it's not against the rules to mark your ball with a tee, but if someone is putting near your line it's can be in the way. Riggs was really sticking the knife in when he pointed that out on the 18th green when he, in a mockingly way, asked him if he could use something other than a tee since Riggs' line was near the mark. It's not against the PGA Tour rules to use a Pinnacle ball but no one does it because there are some things you just don't do, and marking your ball with a tee all round is one of those things.


And for the "lost ball", Cheddy had no idea where his ball went. He would have never found it on his own. Gaithje was probably the only guy in that group paying attention to where the ball went. Cheddy was looking for his ball 20 yards farther up than where Taylormade, with no clue what number it was, was found.

I do think that Riggs was begging for a penalty when Cheddy hit his ball with his hand while marking it, but Riggs had every right to not give in on the 18th hole because Cheddy was off the rails by that point. No clue what ball he hit off the tee, doesn't know where to look, just wanted to blame others for calling him on his incompetence.
