OT: GOLF

Damn what a day! Would be hard to bet against him winning more now.
Great thread,golf is better when Tiger Woods is playing well and winning !
What trash takes by Hooks and JGT. Tiger is fallible. After years of invincibility he was humbled. Brought to his knees by his own pride and missteps. Tiger never dodged his mistakes or blamed anybody else. Was destroyed by the media. Sports fans and average Joes knew what was up. Saw the overreaction for what it was. They’ve been cheering for him to crawl out of the hole and redeem himself. Tiger ain’t perfect, but that was a perfect sports comeback story.
Tiger straight booged y’all. Next up is Snead’s 82. And if he can grab one more this year, 18 could really happen. Unbelievable.

Tiger was just awesome, vintage Tiger!
Clearly Darren Rovell doesn't golf. I take way more shots per rd than Tiger and I could easily tell you after the rd each club I used on each hole
Just the sheer volume of units that’d need to be sold to hit that number seems logistically impossible unless they have so huge fuggin underground warehouse
That is insane. There are a lot of different websites that sell licensed apparel so I wonder if that figure includes all of those sales as well. They build a new pro shop recently and its palatial...

I think that has to include all the licensed dealers who sell their stuff online.
I spent some money in there Thursday. It, along with everything there, is a well oiled machine. Took me about 30 seconds to check my bag after shopping and about 30 seconds to pick it up when we got ready to leave.
Yeah even so. 850k an hour in sales totals to 14k a minute. Did you spend 7k in your thirty seconds?
The 850k an hour thing either includes online retailers or includes all the concessions too. There’s no way it’s just the pro shop
Couple of things. I didn’t say I shopped in 30 seconds. Also, did you think I argued that those numbers were accurate and/or pro shop only?
Quick math says 30,000 people spending 250.00 for 7 days = 52.5 Million. Seems unlikely.
Found an article from last year that said on Monday and Tuesday, the average ticket was $819 at the pro shop
This says official masters merchandise can ONLY be purchased during the Master's.

Since official Masters gear can only be purchased in person at Augusta National, fans often stock up on purchases for friends and family.
Ah, you are correct. Just saw this at the bottom of their website...
Official Masters Golf merchandise is a very hot golf product. MMO Golf is your number one Golf Tournament merchandise personal shopper on the web. The merchandise for the first golf major of the year is only sold to the public for seven days a year and only on the grounds of the Masters Golf Tournament. MMO Golf will be your personal shopper for all your golf gift needs. We use our Masters badges to purchase the official merchandise directly from the pro shop and ship it to you.
This link says 35-40,000 on tournament days and about 50,000 for practice rounds. There are plenty of folks that attend multiple days, but I'd guess that most are there for just one day and looking to buy stuff for themselves and friends/family.

Even if that’s the average, you’d still need over a thousand people an hour making purchases like that to meet Rovell’s number.
1000 transactions an hour averaging 850 dollars each for 7 days straight. In ONE PRO SHOP.
Have you ever been inside the pro shop or seen the set up?. I don't doubt it all that it can handle that(assuming the info is true).
Yeah my bad, I quickly glanced at something. Old but interesting link here..

There are actually two large pro shops. The main one is huge, and has 64 registers. There are usually a few small ones with particular merchandise/art set up, plus the pro shop for member guests. I think the key is that they don't sell stuff except during the tourney and only on site. Pent up demand and controlled supply. Like shooting chaulkie fish in a barrel.
And check out this press building they built for dudes like Tate. Well, not actually Tate cause he hates golf and thinks the Tiger win was a yawner, but you get the point. LINK The amount of money running through AGN's coffers is absurd, and is probably a pretty good analogue of what Bruce will soon be creating in boogville.
Best one I've seen today.
I got this earlier. Didn’t have the heart to tell my Pub buddy the mug shot is from Aug 2017....
Not that anything else needs to be said about Tiger but he’s up to #6 in the world. Was looking at the ranking he was #656 at the beginning of last year.

I know I shouldn’t let myself get carried away, but what if he goes on a run here? How fvcking awesome would that be?
I don’t have a lot of confidence in him winning at Bethpage but I definitely think he’ll have a chance at Pebble. I’d put DJ, Rory and Finau as my faves in New York. I know nothing about the Open course but I know if he’s still healthy and playing well, he’ll grind it out and hang close there I’m sure.
Just so I’m clear we all agreed to cheer for Phil at Pebble right?
As far as Tiger I think he’s gonna have a chance any week he’s got his driver working. He still plays smarter than everyone. More clutch than everyone. Better iron player than everyone. He slapped his driver all over the map at the Open and PGA last year and still got in contention. Driver was solid at Augusta. Still sprayed a few but managed to escape those mostly. Actually made quite a few birds from the gallery.
