Watching Full Swing, really decent show. Joel Dahmen and Tom Kim might be my new favourite players.

Dahmen is mad. I always look put for his results now after watching this

[Cooking with Sanchez]

He's so entertaining. Seems to be dropping like a stone in the rankings though.

Looking forward to watching the PGA the rest of the week while working.

Golf is better than cricket

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Golf is better than cricket

Just a bit.

[ChrisW]

Golf is better than cricket

Just a bit.

It ruins a good walk.

[shenmue]

I read that as wank, guess I've got edging on the mind.

[Cooking with Sanchez]

US Open tomorrow!

[ChrisW]

I read that as wank, guess I've got edging on the mind.

Can also ruin a good wank.

[shenmue]

Very true

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Comms just called the 17th the Luke Littler hole. He’s everywhere.

[shenmue]

He's truly box office mate

[Randall]

Horrible choke

[Rogg]

Woawy

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Brilliant from DeChambeau but that's an all time choke from Rory. Will never win another major.

[oche balboa]

I agree

[shenmue]

He's finished mate

[Dfc180]

He's probably LIV bound

[shenmue]

Selling his soul, might as well.

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Sunburned to fuck from 18 holes today, was tough out there.

Playing Sunningdale again in a couple of weeks. Absolutely incredible course.
