@KVV embracing the NLU life

Delightful and thoughtful read as always - thank you @KVV

I really like the little brother comp for JT with Tiger. Or at least some sort of family comparison. Tiger resorting to immaturing to show his affection to JT is one version, and I think the other is that JT, the likely unwanting recipient of this gesture, is kinda left having to explain away the crude behavior of family because, well, they’re family and you have to somtimes just put up with it.

Just awesome stuff @KVV. Thanks for writing and sharing with us.

Tom Kim keeps shooting up my list of favorite players.

Really have enjoyed reading your first few blogs on the NLU site and Twitter. Thanks and looking forward to more great content! Bummed that we won’t have a re-match at Rocky Point in the Crabcake Cup this year. Tough ending a match all square.

The quality of NLU content has increased dramatically (which, I didn’t think was possible) with the addition of @KVV

8 vignettes that do not have to feel directly “tied” to one another in one distinct narrative, yet capture the larger swath of interesting stories from the week feels like a great way to wrap on the ground reporting from a tournament. Keeping these as short and sweet but also complete as they were must have been a challenging exercise in editing.

Full swing could probably learn something from this piece. Instead of having 8 episodes with 16 or golfers jumping around the schedule why can’t one episode be Riv and the next be TPC? I don’t know how DTS is structured but I think weaving a few storylines (not 8) into one episode makes a more compelling show with a more coherent structure.

The piece was brilliant. The potential immense…

But what we really want to know, is what would the Global Ambassador of the Game, A Man without Equal…Mr Gary Player, think about KVV joining NLU?

It’s interesting, I have been catching a lot of shit of late for the impressions. Lot of people saying they are “cringe” and terrible in my mentions, and that I should be canceled for the Rahm one.

Might have to apologize … to absolutely nobody.

Some people were very mean to me on Reddit. It hurt my feelings a little, then I decided eh fuck em, if they’re commenting about NLU on Reddit and not on the Refuge, they’re not worth sweating.

At least they seem to like your writing

Each is an only child, which is important for reasons psychologists could better explain.

Is this a drive-by on only children like me? :wink:

The typical stereotypes of only children as spoiled, selfish, and self-absorbed is probably true for about half that population. I don’t like being thought of as “anti-social” though just because I’m so used to having some quiet alone time every day.

Awesome article KVV.

I was actually trying to imply in this situation that they’re each kind of longing for a sibling and each to get each other’s approval for different reasons.

Also, thank you buddy.
