I don't know if it's just me, and not to step on Paynes legacy, but damn... Aaron looks more like ... a young Phil Mickelson than a young Payne Stewart. Anyone else see it?

As soon as I saw him I knew he was Payne's son. I think they look a lot alike.

He went on an extended rant about trees being cut down on golf courses.

Lol, too funny...

Rory in response to a question from MasterCard holder Brent about reining in the golf ball:

"Ummm, thanks Brent!"

I didn't hear that part but was laughing at him.   No one has traveled more than me.  If I lived in America I would have won more majors.  Looked like Jack was cracking up when Gary sings the same old song. Here's the replay.  I tuned out after "farmer".  The question asked was Is it more rewarding to win majors or design golf courses?

hmmm... The Old Course, Shinnecock, etc.

I missed something. Someone clue me in on the single ear buds and J.T.’s is different. 
thanks for helping an old man.

earbuds went right into Nantz and Azinger in the booth. They could ask questions etc. Probably just different brands depending on what they had.

 

JT is different but I love his attitude and outgoing personality

I have played the course many times since I moved here last August.  It truly is a great course to play.  If they grew in rough (which they easily can) and narrowed the fairways, it would be very hard to break par from the tips.

 

Gary is upset because his Par 3 walking course is the least played course at Big Cedar.  It is the throw in course for all of the golf packages. It’s still a lot of fun and will test your iron game,  but just doesn’t compare to the others.

He is always all business.  I don’t think he knows any other way.

Good old Gary player wants to be in the lime light all the time.

Has there ever been a “get off my lawn” interview quite like that?  I was watching with my wife, who doesn’t watch golf, and she was like ‘who’s that angry old man?’ 
 

Bizarre interview. 

[Hawkeye77]

I don’t mind Tiger, he’s okay.

I think Gary thinks he is in the same category as Jack and Tiger.

 Dan Hicks is the most insincere sports announcer of all time- makes zinger sound eloquent

 

[Hawkeye77]

It's a fun event - some of these comments you'd think Bryson was playing and Brandel was doing the announcing, lol.

 

And Gary is just wired, no fix that - weird. But still one of the truly great golfers in history.

 

 

[miamistomp]

 Gary maybe be a grouchy old guy , but he sure looks in better shape than Jack and obviously still hits a lot of balls ( did you see the wear on his golf club)

  With 9 majors he was no slouch

LOL, and so he just reminded me!

I cannot wait to get on that course.  Tried to get a time 3 weeks ago and everything decent was booked on the weekends, now the website is just down in general.  It looks great, I've seen it slowly come together playing the Buffalo Ridge course across the valley.  It looks out of this world.

 

I think we can all agree, ANY of these mic'd up charity things needs JT included.  He is an absolute riot to listen to, he's needling guys, but not too mean, but mean enough.  It's perfect.  Plus I think I saw Riggs from Barstool there (checked his Instagram, he has an interview with Jack coming up) as well as the guys from Dude Perfect (who have done a lot of stuff with Bass Pro Shops). 

 

These courses are truly something else.  I've played Buffalo Ridge which is an excellent course (more traditional looking than Tigers) and Top of the Rock (par 3 course designed by Jack where they used to have a Champions Tour event), and I know they had the Missouri Am at Ozarks National (Core & Crenshaw design), and the Missouri Par 3 event at Jack and Gary's course (which I'd be remised to fail to mention our own BR61 won the sr division).  I typically hate Azinger, while I don't necessarily know if its a "bucket list" kind o thing, I'd think it would make an absolute blast for a guys golf trip for sure.

I agree with Gary Player......there's a trend lately to remove trees from golf courses when they should be adding trees to combat the serge in distance. Add trees and make a player hit the ball to one side of the fairway..... I said it before and chances are I'll say it again....LOL!

Oh brother, they are removing trees from golf courses where trees have overtaken, overgrown, etc. Fairways and greens need to breathe, grass needs the sun to hit it.

 

Just adding trees, and just adding trees has been historically a problem. No secret there.

Taped it and started watching and groaned when I heard azinger. 
 

ugh he’s going to ruin golf for the next 20 years

He would have more if he lived here in the U.S.  Just ask him.  ?

But. The Amazon.  Gary said it himself (I was concerned he’d stroke out).

Im too lazy to look it up. But what are greens fees like at this course? Agree its a cool looking course. Fairways do look super walmart big but im sure this place has sick elevation.

On Thursday, two days after the Payne’s Valley Cup wraps up, the course will open to the public. Greens fees will be $225 throughout September and October, then drop to $195 in November and December. Rates for the 2021 season have not been finalized, but are expected to be in the $225 range. 

[nikeblades00]

Thanks. Not cheap but pretty status quo for a destination course such as this.

That's because he still hasn't figured out how to relate to people very well, a product of his upbringing. A bit of a defective personality unfortunately, but he is still evolving.

Hicks, not Nantz. I cannot understand how people who watch golf cannot tell the difference but this happens constantly here and elsewhere.

It looks to be a typical resort course, impressive visually but wide open and with little rough or other challenges for the duffers. Don't confuse "good-looking course" with "good course". They are quite different.

Interesting to watch TW in these events (and all the TM club release videos), all he wants to know is what the other players are feeling in certain shots, what their clubs are like, always grabbing wedges and clubs from other players and giving them a wag, seems like hes a gear head for sure. When he asked Rosey before his bunker shot "you rotate through these kind of shots?" and also getting some details from Rose about using the 48" driver and what feels he needs in the swing to deliver the long club properly. He seems much more interested in gear and swing feels/thoughts than the match going on. (like when JT asked him for advice on a chip, and tw didnt even hear him cause he was swinging Rory's wedge on the other side of the green haha)
