    Watching Michael Block play was the first time I have ever clapped, cheered, screamed, and jumped for joy while watching golf. Just making it to the PGA championship is an accomplishment. Just shooting 70 in the first round was an accomplishment. Just making the cut was an accomplishment. Still being near the top of the leaderboard throughout the weekend was an accomplishment. And then he hit A HOLE IN ONE!!! And finished incredibly strong with an insane up-and-down on 18 to qualify for next years event. To deal with the pressure the whole time and never letting anything get to him… wow.

    ❤ Michael is a reminder of what’s missing not only in professional golf, be it the PGA or LIV but in every professional sport with his authenticity, love of the game and the fun factor, not only for himself but for the fans. A real breath of fresh air that we were so fortunate to witness and remind us of why we really play the game because it’s not because of the $$$. My opinion of way LIV golf will never make it and the PGA better be careful to not follow with limited fields because diamonds in the rough will never get an opportunity to shine like it did in the past 4 days ❤

    For the love of the game. Michael is very thought out about presenting himself to the public. It’s truly not about him but about the game, where his heart is at. Interviews press him to take center stage when expressing his feelings. If he continues to meditate about his swing, following Hogan’s lead that golf is a life long experience, I think he can establish himself amongst the elite in the field.

      It’s pretty cool to have him play like he did. He could’ve been anybody he could have been you he could have been me he could’ve been anybody that’s something that we will remember! He was a Nobody that made a name for himself into a somebody, he didn’t win he may never play in another thing ever again, but we will never forget him! It’s so cool that he was in the spotlight like this, even if he never plays again. We will remember him forever! The roar I heard, like I said, was like Tiger Woods back when he was winning he may never like I said play on the tour ever again. This may have been his last opportunity he may be done he may have faded we may not ever hear from him again after when he withdraw from the tournament this past week, he may be done. This guy will never win 82. Michael block will never win 82, but you can tell that a sense of the atmosphere of how Tiger Woods used to be was certainly there. It’s amazing that he was just even competing with some of the top players on the planet. That is just amazing! To make that hole in one was just awesome! It was cool to see a nobody just have confidence honestly, having a nobody playing in a tournament is just as cool as a goat like Tiger Woods it’s different it’s the opposite you’re not winning 82, but you are persevering to do something magical what Michael block did was magical!

RUclips golfers are relatable and just starting to provide something, things like changing balls etc is just going to make the gap wider between these guys and the rest of us, also sims are really taking off.

    Call me crazy but the up and down in the 18 was as amazing as the hole in one. I was watching it on live TV and the moment when I saw where the ball ended up with his second shot on the 18 I was like "That's it. There's no way he can make par from there". And then that third shot. I mean...that third shot was just pure perfection and I really think most of people can't see yet how difficult that third shot was for a man who is not a Pro. Because that was actually a shot from a Pro golfer. Forget the hole in one. Most of times a hole in one in just pure luck. That third shot on the 18th was pure class.
