Puma paid him a fortune and it’s a golf shop staple. Haven’t seen many people wearing it on the links but he’s got his own thing going. Seems like a cool cat. Hope he gets backs on leaderboards and bags that first major

Bryson and Woodland both represented by Puma, both won us opens. I love the puma golf shoes.
Re: Rickie- just my personal opinion but i don’t think he cares enough. He’s got so much money from those endorsements you mentioned. Just doesn’t seem like a guy who is willing to put the effort Out there to win.
Crazy the golfers to come out of wake: Palmer Strange Webb Simpson. Watkins ,may be leaving someone out. Now this cat. Has duke or crappie hill ever had a major winner?
Bill Haas also out of Wake.
Unc had Davis Love. I’m not sure Duke has had a major winner.
Says the clown who is glued to apolitical schtick, I mean, party. I’ll take it!!
Off the top of my head Mike Souchak was our best pro.Never won a major but once shot 58 on a tournament,and in contention in several majors
His swing coach has certainly challenged him by telling him he needs to focus less on endorsements and more on the golf. He has certainly made a lot of money and has great name recognition to rest on his laurels if he is not really concerned about winning a major.
He won the players A few years back. He admitted after the fact, that among his peers he was voted the most overrated player on tour. He said that really motivated him to prove them wrong. I thought that would spring board him to win more, it hasn’t happened and a ton of guys have left him in the dust. He’s become basically an afterthought at this point.
I shot a 58 a couple of times on the front 9 and then skipped the back 9 and headed straight to the 19th
Heh. 58 is with the mulligan rule off the tee the first few holes and the use of the old odd job special when no one is looking
Duke grad Art Wall won the Masters in 1959. Did well on the tour for years...
OFC
Souchak was a success on tour as well. Interestingly he also was a placekicker for the Blue Devil football team. OFC
Something many knew was going on, now confirmed.
I wikid him. Lived an amazing life Served in ww2. Won 14 titles. In the 59 Masters he birdied 5 of the last 6 holes to best middlecoff and Palmer
Wow great detail KD!!! Palmer lost at least a couple majors down the stretch, because he refused to stop playing his daredevil style. He could have "played it safe" more often and won even more majors.Glad a Duke guy won then however!!! Art was indeed a success, on and off links! OFC
Very well written and thought provoking article ...replacing luxury good with luxury beliefs.
Maxine Waters threatening violence if their is not murder conviction.Wonder when her impeachment trial is going to start
And yet we still have faithful sheep who still don't believe that masks were anything other than mind control and divisive manipulation. It's not science we listen to. It's political science.
Unrelated to this, we are having staff shortages in the hospitality industry across the country causing businesses to close their doors at a time of year where they rely on a boost in revenue. This after suffering huge losses from the pandemic. Who knew that when you incentivize people not to work, they wouldn't want to work.
Maxine Waters should have sat this out and stayed quiet. Judge Cahil's comments to the defense might have been an overstep, but Waters's comments were unnecessary and should not have been publicly made as they unfortunately could now cast an unwelcome shadow over the trial.

Much like the previous information you shared from the Gatway Pundit about the underperformance of Joe Biden in major cities compared to the two previous Democratic presidential candidates, the Pundit again does a poor job of accurately reporting facts. This time, the author of the article doesn't even make it out of the headline without messing up the facts.
This is not the result of a, "Stanford Study." This is a hypothesis written by (I believe) a doctor at the Palo Alto V.A. The title of the doc's article even tells you it's not a report by including the phrase, "A Hypothesis," in its title.
The next paragraph proceeds to label it a peer-reviewed study. It is not. You can figure that out from reading the entire three page (not including end notes) piece. If you don't want to do all that reading or you don't know how to identify the signs of something that has not been peer-reviewed, you can just look up the online journal that published it.
According to it's about page, Medical Hypothesis, "will publish interesting and important theoretical papers that foster the diversity and debate upon which the scientific process thrives. The Aims and Scope of Medical Hypotheses are no different now from what was proposed by the founder of the journal, the late Dr David Horrobin." It goes on to say that it's review standard is the editor, who, based on the piece cited in the Pundit, apparently doesn't correct spelling errors. Since the journal claims to have the same goals it always had, it should be pointed out that it once published a hypothesis (just like this one, not peer-reviewed but evaluated by the editor) that claimed HIV doesn't cause AIDS. That was in 2009, by the way.
All that said, I do agree with some of his theories around the possible psychological side effects of masks. On the other side, if the masks sole purpose, as many suggest, is to give people a false sense of security, it's strange they would cause stress, fear or even moodiness. If anything, it would probably alleviate some of those emotional reactions.
It's interesting that he placed a third category of potential health consequences (he even labels them as potential) from the potential physiological and psychological effects of the masks, when there is such a lack of data to support it. He includes accelerated aging and premature mortality. What possible research could have been done in the past year to show that?
There may be a lot in the article that turns out to be true. As of now, however, it reads like something that was written with the intent of landing an expert-spot on Tucker Carlson and published by an online journal that, by it's own admission, exists to publish unverified material that will spark debate.
Well I go to a Cardiologist,a Urologist and GP who all three says that masks are useless.Btw the Cardiologist went to Duke medical school.They all point out that this virus has. 99% plus survival rate
Still avoiding actual discussions? Still think your governor "squashed" the virus as you claimed last Summer?
what if 1 of them had a differing opinion...would you have said 2 out of 3 of my doctors or just went with the 2....whats so wrong w/ a simple barrier to help reduce some spread...gotta be better than nothing
That doesn't change any of the false statements from the article @Mac9192 posted.
I appreciate the opinions of the three doctors you've mentioned. I also appreciate the many more in the medical community, including those who specialize in infectious diseases, who seem to look at masks and the virus different from the three doctors you named.
I am not avoiding discussions. I am making a point. You keep talking about the gullible sheep while still insisting, or at least I think you are since you did not answer my question, on believing a demonstrable (and quite possibly treasonous) lie that Trump somehow managed to win the election. I guess the fact that his own lawyer said that no reasonable person would have believed the facts alleged in their law suits did not matter to you. You guys keep telling me that I would be more credible if I was less of a defender of the liberals. I can say the same thing about you. You have not once even intimated that the liberals have a point, on any topic. So get off your goddamn high horses. I also had to laugh that Mac got all butt hurt when people disagreed with him about why he thought it better if K had an assistant coach who was not a Duke alum. He even said that everyone's views are equally important. Not so much fun when the insults were aimed at him. Perhaps you guys could engage in some civility on this thread as well.
As far as Cuomo, I stand by what I said about what happened last summer. It would likely have been much worse had he not taken the steps that he did. He never suggested that we could get rid of the virus with the lockdown. He was hoping to keep the numbers manageable so that the hospitals were not completely overrun. I am not sure why you keep bringing that up but that is what I still believe.
You're making a point? No, you're deflecting. When is the last time I even mentioned Trump? I am not the one obsessing over him, you are
Orange man gone, I have been over that for months. What a stupid route you're going here. I didn't answer your dumb question because it had no relevance to anything we're talking about.
Cuomo, however is relevant to some of your recent blabbering. You said last summer that your governor squashed the virus. Not to be unexpected because you were just repeating his words (lies) like a good little sheep. Last week you tried to deflect from Cuomo's failures by going after DeSantis. A governor who handled the pandemic so much better on so many levels than your governor who decimated the restaurant industry and ran off a huge population of your biggest tax paying demographic, the middle class.
You still believe he did a good job which shows what kind of a hack you are. Cuomo could probably sexually assault you and you would still defend him. The man kept public transits open too long, was against restricting travel until it was too late and then he took authoritarian measures. Do we Really need to forget about the nursing home debacle? He literally caused thousands of unnecessary deaths and he got to write a book about it and won a fvcking award for his handling of the pandemic. You swap tge D for an R and he would be raked over the coals.
The fact that you think DeSantis is anything but a POS puts you right back into the gullible sheep category. Carry on with your day.
Typical. You got nothing. Whatever your opinion or my opinion is on DeSantis, it has nothing to do with anything I brought up. Add coward to the list of words to describe you.
And, I take it that you have acknowledged President Biden as the legitimate president of the United States.
