dbg on Golf

Does anyone know who this Marcus Fraser is? Shooting a 63 is awesome, but let’s see where he finishes.

Jim Furyk, the last man on the PGA Tour to shoot 59, just shot a 12-under 58 at the Travelers Championship, a new Tour record. Damn that’s low!

Just heard some disturbing stats on the heels of Nike getting away from golf equipment and Adidas looking to sell-off TaylorMade: in 2013, 14 new golf courses opened in the U.S. while 160 closed, golf ratings are down 50%, and country club memberships are off 30%.

The last five major winners have all been first-timers. In the Masters era, first-timers have won all four majors in the same calendar year only five times: 1959, 1969, 2003, 2011, and now 2016.

I don’t blame that bladed bunker shot on Steve Wheatcroft. There was no sand in the bunker! Are they running low on sand in Canada? C’mon.
