... the best it's been in the last 20 years (or longer).

A playoff is likely to happen any given week. The brightest stars are young. Homemade/unique swings are once again becoming popular. More ways to "see" an event than ever before. The fields are too good to be dominated by anyone on a regular basis. The Ryder Cup is relevant again. Non American golf is STRONG.


Agree, disagree?

There are lots of guys out there "trying" to swing one way or another. Emulating. It went too far, a lot of newer breed guys just said "to heck with it, I can kill it, try and catch me with whatever your move of the week is"

Dead Solid Perfect should be the bible for anyone who wants to play pro golf. Learn to hit it a long way, learn to shoot lights out at easy courses, gamble.

All the junior golf studs in the world will never be as good as the guy who did the above.....for the most part.

The field is as deep as ever. You never know what's going to happen - a young Fowler tearing it up, or Phil going on a birdie parade from one week to the next.

I'd like to see some tougher setups, and not just longer and longer courses. But overall I think the Tour blesses us with a lot of interesting and challenging courses.

"These guys are good." To some extent you can make the courses unbelievably tough, but you know they'll find a way.

On top of that you got golf in HD. Give me the grill, some steak, veggies, and a cold beer and I am like a pig in sh&t on saturday-sunday when the tour is in full swing.

I have a 55" plasma and two couches. Stop on by! :)

I think it is awesome. Ton of great players from around the world. Some great young American talent as well and while the money has made it possible for guys to make a great living while not winning, people often overlook the new pressure that exists... pressing to win to justify your endorsement contracts and level of fan support. I picked the young Mr. Fowler in my fantasy league this past week, but i sure thought hard about increased scrutiny/pressure he was facing in trying to take down his first win.

Feel like there are tons of great players in this current crop that can and will win multiple majors. Can't understand how anyone who watches golf doesn't want to see Bubba tee it up every week. Someone who curves the ball the amount he does and hits the crap out of it - just plain awesome!

I have to agree. I'm really liking these playoff finishes at least every other week. Can't wait to go to the US Open this year.
