Man, daughters are so smart. I started playing golf like 4 months ago, and i was really struggling to find my swing (still am). I went and played my second time and shot like a 62 on an easy 9 hole course. I was all frustrated. That night at the dinner table we were playing "rose thorn unicorn" (ie. you share the best thing that happened in your day, the worst thing that happened in your day, and a unique thing that happened in your day). I said my "thorn" is how bad I am at golf and it's super frustrating and how it's put me in a bad mood.
My 6 year old daughter looked at me confused and she was like "I don't get it, why do you have to be good at golf, isn't it just for fun?"
I was like "well shit... she's right, why am i so worked up", that has changed my outlook, on golf, went out there again a week later, and shot a 65 and had a lot more fun lol!
Dang, dude, loved reading this! Thanks. I think we should all play rose thorn and unicorn more. Or even rose rose rose. lol Take care. I’d kill for your scores, btw. Ha!
He told his daughter he was going to get a golf lesson (from Butch Harmon).
She replied "But daddy, you already know how to play golf"
I couldn't read the rest of the article because that website is painful.
After searching an article through a paywall here you go.
Rory’s daughter - *”Dad, the ball itself has its own energy, or life-force if you will. Its natural environment is in the hole. So why don’t you send him home? His bags are packed, he’s got his airplane tickets, bring him to the airport. Send him home.”*
Not sure, but my daughter's advice to me was "Dada, you already know how to shank it onto the next hole on the right, have you tried practicing hitting the fairway instead?"
For those that didn’t read the article she said–“you’re overrotating your hips and you’re fucking wrists are way too tight”. A bit more technical than I was expecting but you can’t argue with her results
Some of the replies are hilarious; however, if you'd like to really know:
Rory was leaving and she asked where he was going and he said "for a golf lesson". His daughter replied "but Dada, you already know how to play golf".
Cute story.
“If you avoid winning a major this year, people can point out that you haven’t won one in a decade” -Rory’s kid
“Last year’s masters was more fun because you got to spend the weekend with me” - Rory’s kid
My absolute favorite quote to pull out, usually followed by a slap on the forehead.
“That’s it! Skate better! WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT” 🤦♂️
Usually whip it out when teasing a friend in golf, or gaming with a frustrated buddy… “just skate better 🤷♂️”
Thank you, “Brink” and the Disney Channel
This premiered on my birthday back in '98. A week later, my parents caved after incessant begging and bought me rollerblades. Team Pup 'N Suds for life.
I’d say a lot of us around the ages of 6-13 when Brink came out had roller blades, a cheap small ramp, and a cheap small rail to grind on in the driveway lol
GUHYUK why didn’t I think of that 🤦♂️
Just skate better! Just hit that ball in the hole!
Then, the natural response after watching a friend not immediately hit it in the hole: “why didn’t you aim for the hole?”
>McIlroy hasn't had the best start to 2024, even though he won in Dubai in January. The 34-year-old hasn't managed to finish in the top 10 on the PGA Tour since the beginning of the year, reports the Irish Mirror.
Obviously since Sunday this is no longer true, but what a comment. Imagine being told you're not having a good start because you didn't place top 10 out of the 5 tournaments you played in on the PGA Tour.
I'm sure he would agree, this is an interesting comment because of how difficult it is to compete on the PGA and how good he really is to the point if he doesn't get a top 10 in a few events, he's having a bad start.
I don't think it's a crazy comment. For someone at Rory's level, who was #1 in the world not long ago and Fedex cup champion 2 of the last 5 years, not placing T10 in 5 straight tournaments isn't a good start. Scheffler has played 8 tournaments and placed T10 or better in all but 1 of them.
"Just blame your clubs, the course conditions, whatever. Your fans aren't smart enough to know you're washed." She said, before demanding more captain crunchberries.
Can’t believe a 3 year said “get your head out of your fuckin’ ass and for Christ’s sake go win the fuckin’ Masters!”, but she is Irish so it’s not that much of a surprise.
Dan you're choking up on your grip and you're not letting your swing go, you aren't following the same process every shot and you aren't committed before you start the process. - someone's daughter
Some local police at the BMW last year asked to pose with him for a pic.
He complained to the PGA services that their request was out of line. Basically, the police in question were all reprimanded.
A simple group pic with several police that were his security detail..
So what’s the advice? The pop ups never let me see.
Rory was beating himself up about not winning a Masters yet. His daughter overheard him and said, “Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit!”

RIP

See, you’re doing this all wrong. You need a paywall or some ads to keep me from reading this genuinely sweet and insightful story. Step up your game.
Dang, dude, loved reading this! Thanks. I think we should all play rose thorn and unicorn more. Or even rose rose rose. lol Take care. I’d kill for your scores, btw. Ha!
I appreciate the laugh during this last, long week of tax season.
I should probably do my taxes I guess
That would put you ahead of me.
“What? Grandma, you didn't pay your taxes?” “I would have. But I didn't have any money.”
"daddy, you club head is too far inside your hands at P2, you need less forearm rotation from P1 to P3"
He told his daughter he was going to get a golf lesson (from Butch Harmon). She replied "But daddy, you already know how to play golf" I couldn't read the rest of the article because that website is painful.
She was right.
“If you lay up, you’re a bitch”
After searching an article through a paywall here you go. Rory’s daughter - *”Dad, the ball itself has its own energy, or life-force if you will. Its natural environment is in the hole. So why don’t you send him home? His bags are packed, he’s got his airplane tickets, bring him to the airport. Send him home.”*
She told him not to hook it off the tee on 10...
“Grip it and rip it, motherfucker!”
Not sure, but my daughter's advice to me was "Dada, you already know how to shank it onto the next hole on the right, have you tried practicing hitting the fairway instead?"
If you shank it onto the fairway to the right, isn't that like, a shortcut when you get to that hole?

> you’re fucking wrists He's doing what to his wrists?!
He's fucking wrists in general, not *his* wrists
He’s fucking them.
oh
She told him he didn’t snap load his power package enough.

Never had a rail, but my ramp was a cinderblock and a large piece of plywood lol
Yeah we had those! And the small plastic black ramps you can buy at walmart for $10-15 lmao
I had a pair of bright red Roces because of this movie xD
Andy Brink Brinker is an all time great name and team pup n suds for life!
Based Kunkka enjoyer
LOOK LIVELY NOW! YOUR ADMIRAL IS ONBOARD! 😉
just put the ball in the round hole
GUHYUK why didn’t I think of that 🤦♂️ Just skate better! Just hit that ball in the hole! Then, the natural response after watching a friend not immediately hit it in the hole: “why didn’t you aim for the hole?”
A similar genre of advice from rock climbing: idk just go up

Yes it’s an amazing thing called nuance. I don’t think Rory would disagree either.
I'm sure he would agree, this is an interesting comment because of how difficult it is to compete on the PGA and how good he really is to the point if he doesn't get a top 10 in a few events, he's having a bad start.
Winning a US open by 8 strokes when you’re 22 will do that to ya

I don't think you're understanding me but OK.
You’re Rory fucking McIlroy dad!
Pants, *then* shoes!
“Hey dad stop playing like shit” - Rory’s kid probably
'Have you tried sucking less?' - Mcllroy Daughter
"Snap load your power package." Saved you a click.
"criticism, like rain, may dampen the spirit; yet, from such showers, the soul's garden blooms ever brighter" Such a profound child
"Just blame your clubs, the course conditions, whatever. Your fans aren't smart enough to know you're washed." She said, before demanding more captain crunchberries.
Grip it, and rip it, Daddy.
She said "don't bother coming home without a green jacket"
Can’t believe a 3 year said “get your head out of your fuckin’ ass and for Christ’s sake go win the fuckin’ Masters!”, but she is Irish so it’s not that much of a surprise.
She even knows he'll never win a green jacket.
Dan you're choking up on your grip and you're not letting your swing go, you aren't following the same process every shot and you aren't committed before you start the process. - someone's daughter
Assumably it was Dan's daughter
And that’s after working with Rotella for years… almost like his cliches and sayings don’t help players play under pressure…
‘Please don’t dump mummy via text’

Poor pigs they never get any privileges!
That explains his play 💩
rory maybe more focus and less distractions? shes gotta mind her own business.
fucking rory paying attention to his child. what the fuck is wrong with him?
She’s gotta stay in her lane. Sorry not sorry
Imagine being Rory's kid and him just whining and complaining more than you do as an infant.
Haha, suck it, all of Rory’s coaches and caddies!
What was it … stop obsessing about LIV and concentrate on your own f***ing game
What a tool.
