A thread about retiring CBS analyst Ian Baker-Finch, who delivers his final broadcast today. What he’s meant to golf, Australia & to me via a collection of personal anecdotes… 1. Greg Norman is the Icon of 🇦🇺 golf, but Finchy is our best friend. He’s universally loved & admired

BRB, running through a brick wall 🧱🏃‍♂️😤 How we feeling, Australia? 💚💛 #Socceroos #FIFAWorldCup

Not excusing any “inappropriate” actions of Phil Mickelson, but the timing of its release is suspect. Came a day before Tiger was returning from his most recent rehab stint. Both men are undoubtedly flawed geniuses, but only one has been hung, drawn & quartered by the press.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

Elon Musk has created some of the biggest companies in the world incl. one that catches rockets from space. He also saved free speech & exposed colossal government fraud, while building these businesses. He’s worth more than a trillion to me!

“We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline.” This from Marco Rubio is one of the best political lines I’ve heard in years. Australians feel the same. You don’t have to like One Nation to see the earthquake is here.

386 days after Elon’s decline and fall… He’s the World’s first trillionaire. The Media truly does suck.

This is what golf would have been like if Jay Monahan picked up the phone & took the call. None of the past 5yrs would’ve happened & the PGAT would’ve had an extra billion dollars invested into its coffers.

Australia has a relatively small population. We share no land borders and are protected by vast oceans. We have abundant agricultural land, enormous natural resources, and some of the world’s most valuable exports. We’ve enjoyed more than 80 years without war on our own soil and never experienced a civil war. There is no reason poverty should be increasing in this country. There is no reason the middle class should be shrinking. There is no reason each generation shouldn’t have the opportunity to live better than the last. Australia’s challenges aren’t the result of a lack of land, resources, wealth, or stability. They are the result of political decisions. And for too long, we’ve kept electing politicians who fail us.

I live in one of the countries hosting the FIFA WC & can’t believe how low the energy is for the biggest sports event on the planet.

Stoked for @acaseofthegolf1 not many are more deserving of this opportunity than Ryan. I wonder who will pick up @flushingitgolf @JCAGOLFReport both have been outstanding & unbiased reporters for the past few years. Maybe it’s best someone sponsors them & they stay independent.

Sadly most people’s perception of golf courses is the lush green grass variety displayed in Nth America. Natural looking courses (even brown when very dry conditions) are the best & most enjoyable to play. Don’t be fooled by what you see on the TV most weeks.

It took @livgolf_league to threaten @PGATOUR existence for them to acknowledge the @AusOpenGolf is one of the premier events in the world. Don’t tell me competition is bad for golf. While we’re at it, it’s time they start respecting the historic @RBCCanadianOpen & elevate it!

Always a joy to play @MickelsonNGC w @Global_Smith. I don’t think Canadians realize how good this course is or how close they came to hosting @livgolf_league event. Never had an albatross on a par 4, but came this close today on 16.

We’ve all holed a 2ftr like that, but not to win a US Open. The finite margins of pro sport!
