This makes no sense. Deere should be a second tier event then have one of the signatures in Chicago.
Jun 2
PGA Tour has asked John Deere to shift tournament in the future from Quad Cities to Chicago, per @AdamSchupak.
This comes as PGA Tour looks to move "track one" schedule to new markets.

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

KVV just gets better at what he does all the time. Masterclass interview
Good morning, Damon. I talked with Gary Player this past week at Aronimink about being 90, about Ozempic, about Winston Churchill, about socialism, about the future of LIV and what it was like to fly with Arnie. āIād be on the floor about to crap myself!ā thefriedegg.com/articles/garā¦

This is the correct take on all this
May 19
Every time these conversations start we go in circles, but two things can be true:
1) It is harder financially to get ahead than it was for previous generations
2) Many young people have insane issues with overconsumption and it's become so normalized they don't even realize

They all need to move to this. Jack Nicklaus played the same 3 wood for 30 years. We don't need new drivers every year

šØ Little bit of golf industry newsā¦
TaylorMade is pivoting from its current 12-month product cycle to a new 24-month one.
In other words, there wonāt be a new driver from them next January. Theyāll now be releasing a new one every other year.
The decision has been made for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to):
1.
The success of Qi4D
The immediate and almost unanimous validation of the current line has created what TaylorMade is calling āa new marketplace opportunityā. Basically, they want to give a seriously high-performing product more time to shine. Any why not?
2.
More meaningful leaps in innovation
A longer development runaway will allow TaylorMadeās R&D team the bandwidth to come up with genuinely meaningful, noticeable and significant performance leaps, as opposed to the current trend of incremental upgrades ("this driver goes one yard further" etc).
3.
Fitter mastery is a thing
Longer product lifecycles will create a platform for better education, fitter feedback and recommendations. āEvery chef has a favourite knifeā and all that.
4.
More time for golfers to fall in love
TaylorMade wants you to "trust and love" their products. They understand that the best route to achieving this comes from familiarity. Theyāve seen historical success in longer adoption curves for irons, putters and wedges. Now, they want to bring that to the longest end of the bag.
My tuppence
This is a smart, shrewd move. When you have a product as high-performing as Qi4D, why wouldnāt you keep in the spotlight for longer?
TaylorMade, perhaps more than any other OEM, has also been widely criticised for bringing out new drivers every year. This decision should be warmly received by consumers, and ought to put lots of credit in their bank.
It will be fascinating to see whether other OEMs on a 12-month cycle follow suit

I feel like the solution to the distance problem in golf is so easy to fix. The ONLY reason not to do it is so OEMs can keep pushing new product and maintain sales:
1. Cap drivers at 300 cc
2. Ban solid-core golf balls
Make courses 7000 yards again

It's been challenging to be:
1. Pro rollback
2. Concerned with how it's being implemented
This Cam story is one of several we've heard about how easy it is for players and manufacturers to essentially circumvent the effects of the rollback based on how the rule is written.

ALT Bobby Cox: 1941-2026
ALT We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox, our treasured skipper. Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995. His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched. Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him. His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sportās ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And while Bobby's passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and theirĀ loving children and grandchildren. Ā

Itās not up to Tour pros to decide the rules of the game. It never has been, it never should be. The @USGA and @RandA make the rules of the game, and the @pgatour should follow suit
May 8
Based on reporting with several player directors on the Tour board and PAC, there still is little support on PGA Tour for the golf ball rollback. Hard to think Brian Rolapp will go on an island & back governing bodies on this one. Somethingās gotta give:

Nowhere in this article do they mention the Biden administration stopped a merger that might have saved the airline and that Democrats did a victory dance over it.
This is the most pervasive media bias. Itās not the outright lies. Itās what they purposely omit.

Iāve been in and out of playing the left dash the last couple of years. Itās a rocket off the tee. But if it brings Spieth back, itās even better than I thought
Apr 30
Potentially bigger news, but Spieth also moved from the @Titleist Pro V1x to the Pro V1x Left Dash. He spoke after his 7-under first round about the lower-spinning ball, and how it fits his speed and spin rates better now. @GolfWRX

Disagree. Rahm is the most important player to get back. He will be the most competitive and is LIV's best player. Bryson is a unique commodity and I don't even know if he wants to play anything but the majors and YouTube. I think you give Rahm & Bryson the same offer as Koepka
Apr 30
Jon Rahms penalty should be 4-5x everyone else's. Everyone should be treated fairly, but not everyone should be treated the same. His crimes and his mercenary payments are greater than anyone else's.

Essentially why Amy and I stopped listening to Ramsey years ago
Apr 29
Conversation with Dave Ramsey (probably)
Person: Hey Dave, Iām thinking about buying a new car
Dave: NO
Person: But Dave, check out these numbers
Dave: NO
Person: Dave, do you know what the used car market is like these days? I literally have $20k for a down payment on a new car.
Dave: Then buy a 20k car.
Person: But Dave, a used $20k car has 150k miles on it already. I drive about 15k miles a year. If I financed the car over 5 years, the car would still only have 75k miles on it by the time Iām done paying it off. I would get at least 8 extra years out of the car.
Dave: You canāt afford the car if you have to finance the car
Person: But Dave, I make $9,000 a month. A modest $400 a month car payment is very do-able for me.
Dave: Youāre going to be losing so much money to interest
Person: Not really Dave. I have very good credit. I got approval for a 4% interest rate.
Dave: Thatās $2,000 extra youād be paying in interest. Imagine if that was sitting in the stock market?
Person: Yeah but Dave Iāll not be spending thousands in repairs on my car all the time if I get a used one, so in the grand scheme of things whatās $2,000 interest?
Dave: No, buy a used car
Person: I have 3 kids. We just want a reliable car and will drive it for 15 years.
Dave: Go have your kids powerwash a house. No new car.

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents.
Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obamaās tweet. Itās classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide.
You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President.
But thatās too much to ask.
Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

Although we donāt yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, itās incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. Itās also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. Iām grateful to them ā and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
