Another busy day at Bethpage as weather upends the schedule and players offer a range of insights. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/tuesday-at...

Everything and then some about Bethpage Black and how it will play as a match play course this week. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/course-pre...

Part 2 of my look at the increasingly strange dynamics of putt concessions, particularly when it involves Americans not used to match play and playing in front of home fans. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/concession...

Kicking off the Ryder Cup countdown with a look at all of the antics over grown men not receiving a freebie! Why is it always Americans who act up? quadrilateral.substack.com/p/concession...

Notes and other drivel from Thursday at Cypress Point. Someone has to do it! quadrilateral.substack.com/p/thursday-a...

Continuing the run-up to the 50th Walker Cup at Cypress Point with three holes worthy of reverence even if they won’t play like they were intended (this week). quadrilateral.substack.com/p/cypress-po...

Not much drama in the picks and it looks like Europe is all smiles (at least on Zoom) while wheeling it back for Bethpage. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/donald-whe...

A case why this year's Walker Cup venue was such a one-off (beyond the amazing site and its scenery). quadrilateral.substack.com/p/could-anyo...

The elder Donegan surfaced and we recorded a pod covering the US Amateur and Ryder Cup picks. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

So he knew for a while that he was only going to be a cart driver. Huh. I wouldn’t want to play Bradley in a match or a game of poker. Who knew he had this in him as the Ryder Cup captain confidently makes his six selections for next month’s matches. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/keegan-doe...

An incredible performance by Mason Howell makes him a U.S. Amateur winner and Walker Cup team member. Plus, while Scheffler wins again, the race to be picked for 2025’s Ryder Cup squads is getting interesting. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/mason-howe...

Niall Shiels Donegan gave it a shot and gave the U.S. Amateur a needed shot in the arm this week. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/herrington...

The USGA gets its money but a lot of the same old approach from NBC who will be paying a lot more for rights to national championships. My breakdown of Tuesday’s announcement: quadrilateral.substack.com/p/usga-exten...

A busy weekend with (mostly) good news for the Ryder Cup captains and a brilliant win for Megha Ganne in her seventh try at the U.S. Women's Amateur.

Puck’s John Ourand says the USGA is close to renewing with Comcast/NBC/Versant at the current Fox price, the same bloated number Comcast had no interest in coming close to paying. Sounds like Netflix drove up the price after Comcast allowed bidding to hit the market.

Attention turns to the Ryder Cup race but this week’s edition features notes from all over the world of major championship golf. quadrilateral.substack.com/p/majors-new...

Another incredible performance by Scottie Scheffler on so many levels including his play at Portrush’s most dramatic hole. My dispatch from Ulster: quadrilateral.substack.com/p/scottie-sc...

Looks like we'll have a Scottie Scheffler runaway but that's why they play 72 holes. My account from Portrush of Saturday's electric third round: quadrilateral.substack.com/p/saturday-a...

So much for Friday light from Portrush! quadrilateral.substack.com/p/friday-at-...
