EUROPE ! 🤎💛💙❤🕳
Soly waited months to wedge in the dad back question
Awesome interview. Cant believe Bethpage greenskeepers were arguing with team USA 😂😂😂
Bring back the Deutsche Bank!!! (tpc boston)
Great conversation. Thanks as always.
Micro discectomy or micro visectomy?
So I guess the comment on his Instagram worked Soly?
Amazing insights into the Ryder cup. His views on the stats are so telling into how much the US team ignores them – and how he doesn’t understand them. The quote “you can give me all the data in the world but it’s not going to make me change my decision” or “in the other weeks this happens, but this isn’t other weeks”. That’s not the point Justin. “There are so many variables in golf you can’t predict using stats.” That’s exactly what Europe does, they predict, as best as they can statistically, all the variables they can then use that information to plan setup, pairings etc and support the golfers – and the team trusts it.
Total BS
This just shows their focus was off for 2 days and ok for 1 day, and you dont win Ryder Cups that way!
What if the top guys like Scotty, Justin they just did not play the president’s cup and allowed it to be kind of like a farm system so that way younger players can get their chops in playing these different kind of events
And the big name guys in the same way the Europeans do, really have two years to build up and be excited for the Ryder cup
I’m interested to hear the thoughts of NLU regarding the choice of “legacy” players like Clark, Horschel, Speith and Scheffler playing Tiger’s rinky dink event vs playing the Australian Open.
Surely if they were serious about building their legacy they’d be playing in Australia?
Maybe they’re actually not interested in “legacy” like they said they were? Maybe they’re just in it for the money and convenience like the LIV players.
I’ll put a quiet $5 on NLU not replying to this question or at very best giving a dismissive answer!
Who was actually responsible for setting up Bethpage the way it was for the Ryder Cup?
Great interview!
Top pro telling Soly his stats don’t mean shit and he doesn’t push back at all. But when KVV did Soly lost his shit! Lol
nothing more than another excuse. when will the American team acknowledge the euro team played better and give them the credit they deserve? RC was 2 months ago. pretty sure the euro team has moved on
Fantastic interview. Soly is the true voice of the golf psycho. Almost an hour on Ryder Cup minutiae! He asks the questions we want answers to. Quickly becoming a leading voice in golf media. Well done.
