Twitter reacts to TGL

It’s 11:30.

The Celtics are battling the Jokic-less Denver Nuggets, and the first TGL match has just wrapped up.

It was… fine. I was kind of locked in for the beginning due to the novelty of the event. Indoor golf on a massive screen involving six PGA Tour pros that has been teased for more than a year had me intrigued.

And then DJ Khaled appeared on the screen…

When I was a teacher, my school launched a “House System” that mirrored Hogwarts. It was a massive undertaking to get the entire thing off the ground and all the moving parts meant we were constantly making tweaks and changes.

That’s what it felt like watching this first match. It’s the first one. No one wants the first two pancakes, it’s the third pancake that’s the best.

However, Golf Twitter isn’t going to sit around and wait for the third pancake.

It was a delightful mix of love and hate.

If Patrick Cantlay was a transformer, his other form would be the SoFi Center.

This was a strong first reaction. Note the 9:28 timestamp. After all the set-up and explanation, the first tee shot was probably hit at 9:20.

Watching golf indoors and on a screen probably left a lot of people “cold.” It’s certainly different.

Agree.

Some folks liked it, though.

I think this is how I feel, too. I’ll watch it if I remember to watch it. I am intrigued to see Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

There were some funny moments, too.

Has Ludvig replaced Adam Scott and Brooks Koepka as the handsome guy? Is he part of the handsome club?

I’ll take all the New York jokes in any sport, especially when they come from a Detroit Lions fans. Life comes at you fast.

Man, Zach Johnson picked this guy for the Ryder Cup 16 months ago.

This one got me out loud.

In the end, trying to make something new from scratch is very challenging. There will be people who like it and who hate it and others who don’t care and other who might tune in again out of continued curiosity.
