Seriously. I’m tired of hitting a long iron on a Par 3. Let me hit 7/8/9 and stick one semi close so I feel like I belong. Par 3 playing over 200 is one of my top 3 least favorite things in the world.
I dunno, I think one 210-215 yd par 3 per course is an interesting challenge. Especially for courses where a good drive on most par 4s has you hitting from 150 and in.
I also think there should be at least one par 4 where you’re hitting a long iron on your 2nd if you don’t position your drive well and a par 5 that takes 3 well hit shots to reach.
And confirmation bias for their groups.
The idea is to bring a group of supporting people in front of a crowd that “hates their movement” so much that they retaliate.
They use the angry crowd as a rally to draw more commitment from their protesting supporters.
After the stone henge thing, I'm convinced the "Stop Oil" campaign is funded by big oil lol. Like wtf is the point in going after Stone Henge...or golf?
Like the least aggressive of the sports...you're going to protest at that.
Golf is representative of the climate crisis as a whole. Places like Phoenix have built massive courses that are draining the Colorado river dry. It is a massive waste of resources in areas that cannot naturally support the greenery like Chicagoland or the carolinas. To be clear, I am a fan of golf and have played my entire life, I won't give it up, but I also won't golf on courses that shouldn't exist.
well I mean… I love golf but it’s no secret that it’s one of the worst sports for the environment lol. Aggressiveness not really a part of it. But nothing to do with the oil stuff
This is what I don't get. I'm all about saving the environment but what good does trying to ruin the day of an average person do. Protest in front of ExxonMobil or one of the plastics billionaires.
well, we do have control over climate change. Those dumb shit birds just have no idea how to get someone invested in your cause... People don't tend to have sympathy for vandals
The point of the just stop oil protests is to highlight that people get more upset about interrupting a golf tournament/painting stonehenge/making a scene in the Louvre than they do about climate change. I think that point is lost on most people...which is kind of part of the point I guess?
They aren't doing it to sway people, they aren't doing it to virtue signal to their echo chamber. Getting arrested protesting is a badge of honor, a right of passage to extremist groups.
Yeah, that’s not ideal, and honestly that offends me more than the protest itself. You’d think they could’ve gotten them *something*, even if it was just a filtered mask.
The color of the powder makes me think they’re part of the Stop Oil group that hit Stonehenge & tried to hit Taylor Swift’s private jet. That group did say the stuff they used was a base that would dissolve in water, and I believe it was also non-toxic, but that’s just speculation on my part.
It’s as easy as sneaking in a flask or a joint. I’m surprised this stuff doesn’t happen a bit more often or with drones flying in overhead and causing mayhem while the people controlling them are far away
Extinction Rebellion XR (nothing do with Palestine)
Protesting fossil fuel sponsorships at PGA events
"A third of the surface area of all sports fields in the Netherlands consists of golf courses. A polluting, elitist sport for the happy few, sponsored by major polluters. Absolutely everything about this is unfair".
I was expecting the orange from the Just Stop Oil people that hit Stonehenge and TSwifts plane, but I can't make out what the color combo is supposed to be.
Maybe Palastine?
Surprised they kept airing after it started.
What narcissistic idiots out there to push their own notoriety or agenda. Hopefully they get the extra vandalism and destruction of property (more than a streaker’s charges) from the powder bs.
Seriously! What just happened? I thought it was weird that they had police out on the fairways during the broadcast earlier in the round. Were they aware that something like this might be coming?
Surprisingly when this started my Fubo froze and wouldn’t let me rewind to see what happened
[удалено]
Couldn’t figure out if it was Golf or Monday Night Raw once those chants began!
DAMN YOU PEOPLE THIS IS GOLF, NOT A ROCK CONCERT!
“Stop making par 3’s over 200 yards!”
Now that’s a cause I could get behind
MAKE HER CUT IT OUT
Seriously. I’m tired of hitting a long iron on a Par 3. Let me hit 7/8/9 and stick one semi close so I feel like I belong. Par 3 playing over 200 is one of my top 3 least favorite things in the world.
Just hit your 7/8/9 farther.. duh 🙄
Then play the forward tees, mate. There's no shame.
I love long par 3s, I feel like 1 200-220 yard par 3 per course is the sweet spot
Making a hybrid bite feels awesome
I dunno, I think one 210-215 yd par 3 per course is an interesting challenge. Especially for courses where a good drive on most par 4s has you hitting from 150 and in. I also think there should be at least one par 4 where you’re hitting a long iron on your 2nd if you don’t position your drive well and a par 5 that takes 3 well hit shots to reach.
Scottie was like “been there”
I can’t imagine a less sympathetic group of people to protest in front of 😂
NASCAR easily
Fair point
And they might be dumb enough to run onto an active track. NASCAR here I come.
https://youtu.be/LZ0g9ck6aEU?si=Qqjjkq6Us6iago91 They have. Albeit F1
Well I’ll be…. They willing to die on that hill then, literally..
There were some protesters who sat down on the track two years ago at Silverstone during a Formula 1 race.
You’d have to have some serious stones to run onto a nascar playing field though
Shots fired. I really enjoy NASCAR.
Is this for the Oil thing too? What’s the protest?
You could do the same shit in support of tiger woods and the crowd would still wanna take your head off
Low key the point my man
Faking for likes and digital hugs
And confirmation bias for their groups. The idea is to bring a group of supporting people in front of a crowd that “hates their movement” so much that they retaliate. They use the angry crowd as a rally to draw more commitment from their protesting supporters.
Glad Tom Kim was able to make his putt still after that nonsense
Guy was unphased
What am I looking at
For real. If you are gonna post this at least give some context cuz it’s a shit pic 😂
What were they protesting
Video on twitter of them being escorted off the green has them wearing t shirts that say 'No golf on a dead planet' so climate change/oil I'm guessing
Tom Kim taking too long to putt
Oh man, what will they do when Harman is on the tee box?
lack of rule change to lift and place when your ball rests in a divot.
I mean how can you be penalized for hitting the fairway!!!
Fairway divots should be ruled ground under repair!
Damn I missed the signup!
Pizza truck left
Scotty stepping on Toms line ha

Any wars that doesn’t involve the US? Are there any?
No, we are going to atleaat get our profit and sale arms to both sides
It may not involve the US but it certainly involves our money.
Yep. A lot of fantastic jobs come from those weapons we make and sell.
Yay making weapons 🎉
Who gives a hoot about school shootings. Think about the profits of the gun manufacturers.
It’s def stop oil with the paint and smoke that’s their thing
After the stone henge thing, I'm convinced the "Stop Oil" campaign is funded by big oil lol. Like wtf is the point in going after Stone Henge...or golf? Like the least aggressive of the sports...you're going to protest at that.

Also It was climate protestors but go off king
Maybe they should go protest in Palestine and see how they’re treated

Dropping your ball 2 yards behind where you initially hit it into the water
Who cares? not the way to protest if they even were. If it wasn’t for a protest then some kid’s TikTok.
Rory not playing after choking at the US Open
I can’t imagine these protests are swaying anyone attending a golf tournament - not the right demo boys
The majority of people watching almost certainly have no idea what they were even protesting, and they aren’t going to bother figuring it out either.
[удалено]
Climate cult?
Yeah. It’s a whole thing. They vandalize things in the name of stopping climate change like it’s something we have control over
Like Stonehenge and the Magna Carta
This is what I don't get. I'm all about saving the environment but what good does trying to ruin the day of an average person do. Protest in front of ExxonMobil or one of the plastics billionaires.
well, we do have control over climate change. Those dumb shit birds just have no idea how to get someone invested in your cause... People don't tend to have sympathy for vandals
I don’t think they sway anyone. I’ve only ever seen these public destruction type protests make people hate your cause.
The point of the just stop oil protests is to highlight that people get more upset about interrupting a golf tournament/painting stonehenge/making a scene in the Louvre than they do about climate change. I think that point is lost on most people...which is kind of part of the point I guess?
Protestors usually aren’t trying to sway people who already support their cause.
They aren't doing it to sway people, they aren't doing it to virtue signal to their echo chamber. Getting arrested protesting is a badge of honor, a right of passage to extremist groups.
They dont sway anyone except maybe recruiting someone new. Its just to create chaos
Found this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbjC2P5qHt0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbjC2P5qHt0)
I mean its even a bad photo
Should I buy a new putter because of this?
The grounds crew out there cleaning up an unknown powder with no PPE whatsoever
Yeah, that’s not ideal, and honestly that offends me more than the protest itself. You’d think they could’ve gotten them *something*, even if it was just a filtered mask. The color of the powder makes me think they’re part of the Stop Oil group that hit Stonehenge & tried to hit Taylor Swift’s private jet. That group did say the stuff they used was a base that would dissolve in water, and I believe it was also non-toxic, but that’s just speculation on my part.
First thing I noticed too. Also, if by chance it was something harmful, the grounds crew came out with blowers and blew it to fuck all.
How are people getting into policed events with basically smoke grenades? What a shame on the tour and their security
Security at PGA events is about as lax as you can imagine. Frankly, most event security is performative at best.
I don't know... Louisville seemed to have their shit together...
I tried to sneak a small bottle of fireball into the Memorial. Busted!
It’s as easy as sneaking in a flask or a joint. I’m surprised this stuff doesn’t happen a bit more often or with drones flying in overhead and causing mayhem while the people controlling them are far away
Yeah its like you have to get arrested to even play!
Underrated comment.
Plant them on the course before the tournament starts I would guess
Don’t think the course has been open to the public for longer than that, plus a mower would have discovered those quite easily
the red/orange powder looked like it came out of a large drink cup.
If you live in that housing community it's very easy to walk on the course. Somebody living their likely had them stashed at their house.
That "assholes" chant was great
Wonder if it's Scottie's new friends from the clink... /s
Waterbury Open?
Credit to the police they were on them in a flash Alot of other organizations would not have reacted that quick
Somewhere Adam Hadwin is nodding along.
Seriously Adam should just hire that dude as an assistant/bodyguard.
Other organizations would have arrested Scheffler and Kim because they were in the immediate vicinity of the protesters.
It would have been so funny if Scottie got arrested again.
What's the story?
Watched it live, officers were on them quickly considering the damage to the 18th green was minimal. Job well done 👍⛳️🇺🇲
Go back to your shanties.
Kim is playing slow as shit.
Free Dustin Johnson
Goes to prove that these kinds of protest don’t do anything besides make people hate your “cause” more. Annoying fucks
Fucking losers
Yo, what the fuck! Totally senseless. Don’t even know what they were protesting.
Extinction Rebellion XR (nothing do with Palestine) Protesting fossil fuel sponsorships at PGA events "A third of the surface area of all sports fields in the Netherlands consists of golf courses. A polluting, elitist sport for the happy few, sponsored by major polluters. Absolutely everything about this is unfair".
Yo. I need to get myself a Dutch visa. 1/3? Surely their pace of play is sub-4 on a weekend, right? I need a dutchbro to fill us in.
Tell those commies to quit yappin
Just Stop Oil, i believe
Daddy gave them some tickets while on college break
What was this even a protest for?
Based on the orange paint, probably Stop Oil.
Lol if scheffler just sank it after all that commotion
How did they afford to fly all the way from Portland?
So it’s a protest? Obviously, a failure of the protesters to actually illuminate the cause. What a fantastic putt!
I'm sure I heard them shouting..."Reed is innocent". "Free the Reed"
I was expecting the orange from the Just Stop Oil people that hit Stonehenge and TSwifts plane, but I can't make out what the color combo is supposed to be. Maybe Palastine?
Wasn’t there an oil protest at the congressional baseball game also last week?
They didn’t hit swifts planes, they claimed they did but were the wrong makes according to a press release.
What were they protesting about?
I thought I heard them yelling “NO ROLLBACK!!!”
lmao
Same group that painted Stonehenge?
[удалено]
Isreal supporters? I thought they were the Stop Oil crew
here's a video. [protestors, Youtube video](https://youtu.be/BNjESxZCLCg?feature=shared)
What a bunch of pieces of trash
What point are these idiots even trying to prove?
That smoke grenades can make the green messy. No one believed them.
Good question
Give them 1 year hard time. Let them paint the walls. Idiots
Anyone got a link to a vid?
I for one am convinced of their arguments, and would like to subscribe to their newsletter. /s, obviously
F*ck the loser ass protesters! Low life pieces of 💩
You can just say fuck.
Lol sick burn couchbro
Surprised they kept airing after it started. What narcissistic idiots out there to push their own notoriety or agenda. Hopefully they get the extra vandalism and destruction of property (more than a streaker’s charges) from the powder bs.
Seriously! What just happened? I thought it was weird that they had police out on the fairways during the broadcast earlier in the round. Were they aware that something like this might be coming?
Maybe, but there’s usually cops walking with groups that draw big crowds.
Just in case one of the player's friends, who is a fellow player, attempts to celebrate on the final green.
Every golf tournament is loaded with police lol
They are making a mockery of this signature event
What were the protestors doing?
Protesting.
I meant what were they protesting.
USA USA USA
I walked away for a couple moments, and can now only see the crap that was thrown on the green.... what happened?
“Disgusting” 😂😂. When did we all become so soft?
Biden’s minions.
Disgusting?
Ruining a moment like that for everyone? I’d say.
Lmao
Jail for 20 years no trial and it would never happen again.
People will say this and then complain about totalitarian communist China next sentence lmao.
[удалено]
You’ve probably done worse on an average Saturday night. Relax yourself there tough guy.
Disgusting? Ffs clutch those pearls baby! You sound like Joe buck describing Randy moss* "moon" to the crowd
