Scheffler could win more majors than Tiger and still get nowhere near that, because he has the charisma of a sloth and plays safe, solid golf. Totally fine for winning tournaments but I don't think people are wild in saying he's boring to watch. Scheffler was 17 under, 5 shots better than anyone else. He also dropped a shot every day, you don't pick up that many shots without going for flags at the right time. It was hardly Faldo hitting 18 pars to win. I'm sure Scheffler couldn't give a shiny shite what anyone thinks of his charisma or lack of. 4 years ago he was playing on the Korn Ferry tour, last night he became the 51st player to earn $50 million or more in prize money on the PGA Tour, only a few have done it quicker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Scheffler won't care, and good luck to him, he's still a boring watch. Not sure it's a reason for anyone to get annoyed though, either way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Scheffler's game mirrors his demeanour. Slow and steady, nothing flashy, even tempered. Perfect for golf. The guy is a machine. Minimizes mistakes, Fairways and Greens, hole a few putts and shoot 68 x 4. Is it boring ? A bit yes, but Tiger played that way occasionally too when the situation demanded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Pocketing a huge wad of Saudi cash doesn't "grow the game". Paul Lawrie does his bit to grow the game on a daily basis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Unless his putting goes really cold or he gets injured, I think boring Scottie is going to be contending in most majors for the next few years, and winning a lot of them. This is an alarming/extremely boring prospect. He is so boring and his play is so unflashy and safe that he's almost unwatchable. Enjoyment of the Masters is under threat! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 "Served Scottie style" In other news, the R&A announced plans to have a restricted distance golf ball in play by 2026 yesterday, and the predictable complaints from players and ball manufacturers alike has begun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time. I've never understood the R&A/USGA getting their knickers in a twist about the "we must all use the same technology to protect traditions" nonsense. Bring in restrictions from elite Amateur level upwards (after all, they already have "restrictions" on ability based on ballots for elite Amateur tournaments...) and the vast, vast majority of golfers will not be affected. Ball (and club!) manufacturers will still make a handsome profit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual suspects moaning about how other sports don't change things to go backwards, but they had to change the javelin years ago as competitors were getting close to chucking it out the stadium. It's similar with the golf ball, courses have become obsolete due to how far players drive the ball now. There's not enough spare ground on the planet to keep expanding courses to keep up with driving distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 As far as I can see, Sky didn't bother screening it for some reason, but Ewen Ferguson has gotten his season up and running with a tie for 3rd in South Africa. Connor Syme continues his solid run with a top 15 finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Really interesting video here with Steve Johnson, the pro at Peebles, being fitted for a driver at the Wilson factory. Fitter is Scott Clelland, who used to be the pro at Hayston. I got fitted by Scott for a 3 wood when he was there, and the most interesting thing for me is that the way he fits the PGA pro is almost exactly the same as how he fitted me, a 13 handicap jobber at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
