US Open Week

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.

You have to be pretty braindead to even consider running the risk of getting DQ'ed from Majors, instead of just talking 30 minutes out of two days to get a shot and never have to think about it again. It's just not that complicated. Personal feelings on it mean nothing when there's a couple million on the line.

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.

Lol, the 7 and 8 on the final 9 surely aren't a collapse. Okay.

 

[Hoggins]

They replaced the broccoli?

Yep. USGA has it on their radar too as it’s hosting the men’s 4 ball this year and the women’s amateur next year. First available slot for the US Open is 2028 so it’ll be awhile still

I so badly want to watch him get the bad weather draw at an Open and see him get blown out too sea. His mind will explode.

And come on R&A, pair Brooks and Bryson next month

Chris Baker deposited $30K for his T-27.

Pays better than the city tournament!

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.

That's interesting. Would you mind providing a link? They say there are still a lot of unknowns about the virus and the vaccine also, how effective it might be, if people might need booster shots in future, should kids be vaccinated, etc.

Two conclusions I've heard, and they may change with time, seem to come up lately: The vaccinations will reduce the spread of the virus, and although it might not prevent you from getting the virus 100%, it should prevent you from getting sick or very sick if you do get it.

"What are the benefits of getting a COVID-19 vaccine?

A COVID-19 vaccine might:

• Prevent you from getting COVID-19 or from becoming seriously ill or dying due to COVID-19
• Prevent you from spreading the COVID-19 virus to others
• Add to the number of people in the community who are protected from getting COVID-19 — making it harder for the disease to spread and contributing to herd immunity
• Prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading and replicating, which allows it to mutate and possibly become more resistant to vaccines
• Can I still get COVID-19 after I’m vaccinated?
  
  COVID-19 vaccination will protect most people from getting sick with COVID-19.
  
  A very small percentage of fully vaccinated people will still get COVID-19 if they are exposed to the COVID-19 virus. These are called vaccine breakthrough cases. Some people might not experience any symptoms and some people could become sick due to COVID-19.
  
  
  However, vaccination might make illness less severe. If you are fully vaccinated, the overall risk of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 is much lower than among unvaccinated people with similar risk factors."

The assumptions I draw is that if a person gets the virus either from a vaccinated or un-vaccinated person, that person won't get sick or very sick if vaccinated. If people stop getting sick, the virus should stop spreading. I guess we won't know that for sure, if the virus will eventually shut down or stop spreading fully, until more time goes by.

If he can do it, I can do it too!

However, if I got an 8 I would probably admit I didn't play too well there.

That would be "must see TV"!

Was watching this with my dad yesterday and Rory was in the lead as my wife and I were loading up the kids. I told my dad that Rory would blow it on the back nine.

I don't know what gets in his head but he's predictable at this point. He's too good to not win another major but at this point I think he's going to need either a 8 stroke lead entering Sunday or be down like 4 shots that takes the pressure off.

Good weekend at the office for him.

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. They are correct. It was probably a bit of a fluke that he got it again but there is about a 10% chance of getting it twice Wrong. 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 Nope, not important if you've had covid already. If you've had it it will boost your immunity toward getting it again (no evidence of this since it wasn't included in the trials (rare), but it should also protect you from these upcoming mutant strains like the current Delta variant (that started in India? Have you seen their numbers lately? of Covid Naturally immunity already does this better than the vaccine. and it protects others from getting it (the main thing people don't understand) Just like natural immunity.

Unfortunately a lot of people just don't think they need it If they've already had covid, they don't. They're either selfish, misinformed, or both speaking of misinformed.... If more people got the vaccine we wouldn't be having these issues and there wouldn't be these mutant ninja variants Yes we would, unless the virus is 100% eradicated from the earth, which is never going to happen. viruses evolve, that's what they do.. 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 (they are correct, it can be severe or kill them, but is highly unlikely). But how would you like to take the risk of losing your sense of taste and smell, maybe for life for some (seems like a personal choice/risk assesment to me. The WHO is now recommending people under 18 not get vaccinated)? Or giving it to someone else because you are selfishly spreading it? no one elfishly spread covid. You know you CAN still get covid and spread it after being vaccinated, right? It's even more common than someone who has already had covid.

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!

Chew on that.

Nothing you posted indicates that getting the vaccine prevents you from spreading the virus. Everything you posted talked about what the vaccine helps with for yourself. For some people, the benefits in your post are worth it. For others, the unknowns (that you acknowledge are there) make it not worth getting. Either way, its a personal choice and nobody should be judging anyone else for getting/not getting the vaccine.

Welp, this is no longer about golf, so I'm closing the thread.
