no comment. you're not entirely correct in your assessment of my feelings on Rahm though.... let's just say that. I can only think he must be a pretty selfish guy.

He basically lost out on a guaranteed 1.6 million but hey, I make that in a decade so I wouldn’t care either. I don’t care how many millions he already has, that’s stupid.
This is an awful take. I don’t care what you think about the virus, not getting vaccinated while playing in a sport where you know a positive is an automatic dq is inarguably dumb.
I don’t know much about him, he seemed like kind of a likable dork in the interview. I mean he credited the power of positive thinking and then talked about some people he wanted to remember that he lost in the last year.
Loved ones that he lost in the last year from Covid.... yet that wasn't enough for him to go get jabbed in the arm a couple times. Just think about that for a minute. And he put his new baby at risk as well. But no big deal, right? Okay, I've said more than enough.
If that makes me an idiot in your mind.... so be it.... I'm proud to be an idiot then.
It's time for people to stop being stupid in this country.... plain and simple.... or we will all suffer the consequences unfortunately.
Congrats to Rahm.... he was definitely the best golfer in the world this week and deserved the championship. Cannot deny that at all. Props to him!
Yeah, I read some pre US Open interviews and it sounds like he realized how dumb he was, and how he put his kid in danger. Sounds like he lived and learned, so that’s good enough for me.
I agree.... at least he realized how dumb he was and did something about it. That's more than a lot can say. I'm so glad that nothing worse came from his poor decision making.... and I've been giving him all the credit in the world for his win this weekend.... he deserved it.
Yeah I’ll pass on this dumb **** in the US Open thread.
More than welcome to discuss it in the cave.
I can understand your feelings to a point. He should have been fully vaccinated. Rahm apparently wasn't vaccinated but maybe thought he was 'OK' as he also apparently had Covid about a year ago. Maybe he thought he was 'good' because of it. A lot of people unfortunately feel that since they've had it, they don't need to get vaccinated. It was probably a bit of a fluke that he got it again but there is about a 10% chance of getting it twice. I'll bet Rahm is far smarter on the subject now.
But the thing is, getting fully vaccinated is important both if you've already had Covid or not. If you've had it it will boost your immunity toward getting it again (rare), but it should also protect you from these upcoming mutant strains like the current Delta variant of Covid. and it protects others from getting it (the main thing people don't understand).
Unfortunately a lot of people just don't think they need it. They're either selfish, misinformed, or both. If more people got the vaccine we wouldn't be having these issues and there wouldn't be these mutant ninja variants. And yes for a lot of younger people, they probably think it won't kill them or it will be mild if they do get it. But how would you like to take the risk of losing your sense of taste and smell, maybe for life for some? Or giving it to someone else because you are selfishly spreading it?
Chew on that when thinking if you need the vaccine or not. If you still don't think you need it, do it for others around you!

Torrey could actually be okay if they set it up different. Shave down everything leading into the cliffs and bunkers, make the rough that length where it's hard to predict what the balls are going to do, and shave down collection areas rather than stop all misses right by the green.
It needs a total restoration to be interesting IMO. Chambers Bay needs a Open before Torrey, especially with the new grass greens they installed
The bolded is completely false. You having gotten the vaccine doesn't prevent you from being a carrier of the virus and passing it on to someone else, and it doesn't prevent the other person from getting it.
For me it’s about being a competitor and taking every opportunity to either get an edge or keep up with the other competitors. Just showed a lack of mental strength imo. Like I’ve said in the past I bet Bryson got vaccinated Day 1 and then tried to get vaccinated again just to make sure he wouldn’t get DQed from a tournament.
Haven't listened to podcast or read the posts yet. I say we all need full body nut cups. Be prepared and hope I'm wrong.
Also, just read Bryson said he didn't collapse, that he played well and the "breaks" went against him.
Even us people who slap it around don't justify SNOWMAN.
