Playing golf is something I won't do till I'm a good bit older but it is the best activity for people as they get older. Very social, not too strenuous, lots of dinners/drinking sessions. I love golf on BBC, Alex Hay is such a polite and good humoured man. There's no sport left on TV with as little glitz as Golf right down to the commentators.
Ah golf.....I even love the rippling applause and the noise when they hit the ball

They then started creating artificial coastal scrubland all over the world.
apparently American golf courses are more "artificial" than Irish & Scottish ones, and there is some pressure on courses over here to become less natural so as to appeal to yankee dollar.
but whatever, it's all golf = all boring middle class men off playing their boring game and cosying up to the boss over a few gin and tonics and then drink driving home.
The fact that there is no player interaction only increases the enjoyment of the game for me. Sublime and no jock0's around to spoil your day.

i hit golf balls this week. i have more natural ability at it than most other things that involve hitting balls. fun. and v. satisfying when you actually get it up in the air and far away. though i usually don't get quite as much distance as others. dunno if that's a strength thing or a technique thing (or the stella i had?). not too much exercise if you're just driving, though.

I've started playing again recently too and my handicaps gone down from a 14 to about an 11/10 - played ardeer and carded an 84 (an unecessary 7 [!!!], and three unecessary 6s) but shoulda been a 79. that is playing to handicap I guess (it was 14) but I reckon markers would have given me the 7 and 6s as 5s (taking into account the rest of my card.)

I think "links" golf has something to do with those weird golf course where the 18th green is also the 1st green, the 2nd also the 17th &c. (like uh st andrew's?) hence the name "links", but I'm not entirely sure.

the "culture" surrounding it can seem quite exclusive and overdefined in a boring and elitist way but I don't assume all golfers/people who play golf fall into that trap but, since it is the way, they probably always have to compromise to it, a little, which is offputting
I don't mind watching it on the telly but wouldn't choose to, really. I have been to a tournament or so and the day was OK but not for the golf, so much. like any sport I don't really like to watch (a lot of which I (would probably) quite enjoy playing, for fun), I might watch the final day or so, if there's nothing else to do/friends are watching it
my problem is talking about golf
I cannot stand people talking about golf
not talking about a tournament, if it's on, but, I'm sure, I wouldn't be interested in that either
people talking about their own games, especially to people who haven't invited it or expressed any interest
and loudly
one of the most boring things
(he (the person that prompted this) also talks about money and, probably, cars (another two of the most boring things))
(I used to play golf, btw, and was a member at my local club (years ago))

golf is classic, i'll be sad when it snows. also, golf courses aren't so bad - they're good habitats/refuge for all kinds of wildlife - waterfowl, deer, elk, etc etc. not that big of a deal on a course like greywolf in canada, which sits in the middle of forest and mountains, but pretty cool for courses planted in the middle of the city. good course design is about trying to use the land as it is - planting native plants, ensuring proper water drainage, and naturally merging the course into the existing terrain as much as possible.
i also like golf video games, but i might be biased since part of my job is designing and building courses for golf video games and golf sims

Golf is fun. It's a "sport" that one doesn't have to be good at to go out there and try to play. It's a good exercise in concentration and patience. I put "sport" in quotes because people sometimes want to argue if it's a sport or not.
I even love to watch televised golf. The announcers cliched commentary is really amusing as hell, and then they go and say something really stupidly funny that becomes a classic "repeat it" line. I don't fit on on the golf course at all, and can't play for s**** but it's still the only "sport" in which I can even slightly participate in real life and get away with it. Geekiness on the golf course seems to be accepted for some odd reason. I have fun being the "caddy" just walking the course with someone who actually can PLAY the game, and it gives one an excuse to dress up in ridiculously flashy clothes that anywhere else are a clashing eyesore. A golf course is lovely too, all that expanse of green grass manicured and sand traps raked in zen like designs. I think if I have to define it, I like it because it is refined, unlike other sports like football or basketball. (Yep, I am a definite chick).

With some justice, golf has been called "a good walk spoiled". I can't say I ever loved it and for most people like me it is pretty dud. But my dad loved it and taught me to appreciate its finer points, just as he taught me to love boxing and appreciate it, too.
Golf is all about achieving fine control over how the club face meets the ball. Ridiculously fine control. Tiny deviations from perfection can result in the ball flying off in all directions and doing nasty things to your score. It appeals to people with a lot of patience, because that is what it takes to swing a golf club in an idiotically nuanced manner, time after time.
My dad liked the gentle camraderie of the golf course, the bad, old jokes and jibes, the strange jargon, the slow pace and the greenery. He wasn't a fierce competitor and he never bet more than a pittance, and only when his partner insisted. But he could whup about 95% of the other players and do it graciously, almost apologetically.
So, in honor of my father, whom I dearly loved, I will say classic.

Golf is also the worst game to take up for the day as a complete novice. Normally sport accommodates dilettantes to at least test their hand-eye coordination and participate in some cack-handed manner. Golf destroys the unpracticed. I speak as a wounded survivor.

I think I've once parred a hole, and I've played about 40-50 holes in my life, most of them short par-3s. But what a par it was! Only 80 yard from pin to green but view completely obscured, hit it to about 15 feet! Such are the moments that make it all worth it, surely. Hit the first putt 20 feet past and somehow holed the resulting monster. Easy game tbh.
If you were playing with a flying ring then a quoit peg would work, I'd just imagine there's some sort of table you've gotta land the frisbee on

SO I played my first round of golf this weekend. Not bragging, but I think I did okay, scoring an 86...............Tell ya what, those little niner side courses can seem a lot longer than they really are!
It was fun just to get out there with my dad. The last time I held a golf club, it was at an Arnold Palmer range with a buddy who sat a box of Franzia down on the bench and watched me skip golf balls across the range like they were stones across a fishin' pond.
I wasn't sure what to expect after that last experience. Fortunately, Dad was patient with me and whaddya know, I even got the ball in the air once every three or four strokes.
We pulled our clubs in the little rickshaw carts. We ate baloney sandwiches at the pavillion with the water coolers. We managed to avoid most of the downed tree branches leftover from last week's storm. I'm 35 and he's 59, and it was one of the better father/son activities we've had in a long, long while.
The moral of this is that I was expecting to suck and almost backed out of playing since it was so early in the morning. But a friend of mine's death this week kinda weighed in on me seizing some moments and I went anyway. I still sucked, but I'm glad I went, and now that it's not as intimidating anymore, I might invest some time in getting better.
But rest assured, even if I continue to suck, I'll still have fun out there.

i have great difficulty separating the culture of the game from the game itself, which is one reason i don't play it often. the other is that i can't afford to play it often. but it seems like every time i go home now i get talked in to playing at least 18 holes with my dad, who plays in tournaments and stuff and likes to be ultra-competitive about it and lend me his loaner pair of shoes and give me endless unsolicited pointers. the feeling of finally finishing the game is classic - 4 hours of continuous golf is too much for a noob.

I'll give you the mercenary, placing him with hundreds of other professional athletes who take obscene amounts of money because someone's willing to give it to him. He gets even more of it by virtue of being better than just about every other professional athlete.
Amoral? Jack Nicholson can spend his life fucking anything that moves, and he's just lovable, naughty Jack. Unless you're talking about Nike's business practices, in which "amoral" is a mighty large leap for me.
And I just don't recall Woods ever being a whiner on the golf course. A temper, yes--not the same thing. I don't remember him ever making excuses when he doesn't play well.
― clemenza, Sunday, 11 April 2010 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link

― call all destroyer, Sunday, 11 April 2010 23:37 (thirteen years ago) link
he went through a period of whining about cameras and crowds
― etrian odysseus (cozen), Sunday, 11 April 2010 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I just think he's competitive above and beyond where you'll find even most professional athletes. And I think you'd find parallel behaviours in Jordan, Federer, Gretzky, or anyone else who's ever played at his level. Jokes are fine, jokes are good; I've made more than a few Tiger jokes myself the past while. I've just been really appalled at the holier-than-thou stuff that sometimes accompanies them.

I still can't support "amoral." He's spent his life excelling at a sport. He makes a pile of money. He's got a temper on the golf course. He's been his a serial adulterer for the past few years. It doesn't add up to amoral for me.

i've only heard him twice but he's already right up there with Vin Scully in my estimation, and maybe better. they're actually quite similar - gentle-voiced old dudes who prefer stories about the players' upbringing than stats and who seem to have a kind of direct line of sympathy hooking them directly into the action. where alliss may have the edge is that he does have a wicked sense of humor that you can tell he's always barely suppressing. one last piece of approbation: not many people realize how difficult it is to do that vocal style - barely above a whisper but with energy and exuberance and urgency. it's incredibly difficult and requires serious vocal/diaphragm control. (aside from golf commentary the other great field for people who can carry off this technique is nature documentaries.)
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 12 April 2010 14:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I first complained about Peter Alliss on ilx about 7 years ago (gawd please let me go!), but here we go again.
No other commentator on the BBCs commentary appears to be too much into stats. And I've never heard someone so LESS in control of his voice -- that mumblin' murmuring you get as the putt is delivered is EXCRUCIATING to listen to because of his lack.
The article I read yesterday re: Alliss smacked of ageism but it isn't that. Richie Benaud is the greatest commentator I'll ever have the pleasure of hearing and the contrast couldn't be greater. Man would often not speak unless he really had something he could add. No 'opinions' (as he was arguing with one of his commentators yesterday) thx. And no wavering voice. In cricket you get old timey stories but they seemed way more relevant to what was going on in the field. At least as Richey told 'em.

BETHESDA, Md. -- Rory McIlroy has birdied the 16th and 17th holes to reach 13-under par at the U.S. Open, the lowest score at any point in the 111-year history of the tournament.McIlroy hit his second shot on the par-4 17th at Congressional on Friday to 8 feet and made the putt that put him at 13 under. He eclipsed a record held by Tiger Woods (2000) and Gil Morgan (1992), both reaching 12 under at U.S. Opens at Pebble Beach.McIlroy is searching for his first major victory. He leads Y.E. Yang by 10 shots with two holes to play in the second round. Yang had an afternoon tee time.McIlroy eagled the par-4 eighth hole when he holed out from the fairway to get to 10 under.

― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Friday, 17 June 2011 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
cozen do you create a divot when you hit your irons? creating a divot means you're staying down and through the ball- it's going straight. the natural inclination when hitting woods is to come up so you don't chunk it- stay down as much as possible when hitting woods without hitting sod. i had a bad slice and now it's a plable fade
also try to put the front foot slightly ahead of the back one- the farther the front foot is ahead of the back foot the more likely you are to hit a hook/draw

Played today for the second time in a week. There is some oujia board action happening sometimes when I think to myself, goddammit, just put your head down and hit that ball.

― Pleasant Plains, Saturday, 18 June 2011 05:03 (twelve years ago) link
All I know is golf is frustrating as hell if you're not good at it.
I spend more time at driving ranges than actual golf courses. It's cheaper, for one thing, but the sound of a golf ball being smacked by a driver's sweet spot is amongst life's greatest small pleasures.
― Lee626, Saturday, 18 June 2011 05:12 (twelve years ago) link
brownie, I have a natural fade (outside-in swing). tried hitting the driver today (on course probably not the best place to try fixes but w/e) with an accentuated in-out swing (aiming the down swing at one o'clock) and it's was hitting a straight push (leads me to believe there are two issues: not turning hands over so club face open at contact hence the push, couple with outside-in swing)
accentuating the inside-out swing was interesting though: could feel my right elbow much closer to my body when swing out on the downswing, which I think is how it should be

yep can't see him failing the way he's playing. he has produced some unbelievable approach shots all day long. i'd say he'll feel he could have had a few more birdies. that said he saved par v well a few times too.
― MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE!! (Local Garda), Saturday, 18 June 2011 23:53 (twelve years ago) link
he played to keep it on an even keel, i think he could have attacked it more today but i think he'll go out to beat the course tomorrow, will win by more
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 June 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
he fairly attacked it imo...just wasn't putting as well. like he was close to the pin loads of times. would be v annoyed to par the 16th too.

― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 June 2011 00:02 (twelve years ago) link
I hope he wins--twice in a year would be cosmically cruel. I don't think it's quite the gimme Costas just described--a four-stroke swing on a single hole is not all that unusual--but he'd really have to be creative to lose this one. (Imagine how exciting the British Open would have potentially been if he'd hung on at the Masters...)
― clemenza, Sunday, 19 June 2011 00:04 (twelve years ago) link
what's really encouraging (for him) and terrifying (for the others) is that his style doesn't really seem to include defence. like he just attacked the pins all day today and was completely in control. easier to make par when you're inside 8 feet over and over again. that birdie he got from the rough, was it on the 11th, that was incredible. plus the saved pars in the first few holes with the approach shot to about a foot and the bunker shot were both amazing too.
i'm going to the open on the saturday next month, so here's hoping he's still in this kind of form.
― MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE!! (Local Garda), Sunday, 19 June 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah he gave himself chance after chance for birdie today, and as you said his putting was a little off. it could have been a massacre by this stage
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 June 2011 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
Over on the Tiger thread, I think I estimated his chance of catching Nicklaus (after this year's Masters, and that one ominous putt he missed) as down to something like 30 or 40%...somewhere in there. If McIlroy goes out and wins big tomorrow, I'd be inclined to cut that in half.
― clemenza, Sunday, 19 June 2011 00:51 (twelve years ago) link
I predict a 70 and a 6-shot margin of victory.

Don't think its anything to do w/McIlroy tho'. He culd win many majors, not sure (and its not a criticism) he doesn't have the drive that Woods had (and probably still has, even if much of the body and mind are unwilling to accommodate).
All for another day - this is so great. Hope it all happens in a very boring way tonight.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 19 June 2011 09:26 (twelve years ago) link
Very quick explanation--I don't want to derail the thread into Tiger talk. If McIlroy wins today, especially if he does so convincingly, obviously that'll sweep away whatever mental garbage was lingering from the Masters (based on the past three days, apparently not much). And at that point, I could easily see him going out and winning four or five majors over the next five years. If that were to happen--a huge, speculative if, I know--then it's just math: five fewer chances for Tiger would cut his odds considerably.

he's been a factor in his last four tournaments and absolutely crushed this one. the runner-up, Jason Day, at -8 had a good enough score to win the tournament like 80% of the time and Rory beat that by EIGHT strokes, shattering pretty much every U.S. Open record in the process - and he's only 22, meaning his peak years could be ahead of him. if Tiger really hasn't changed you know he's going to train like mad to beat this kid, sadly I think the unsaid thing in the broadcast is that Tiger will probably never again be favored to win any tournament unless he wins one, like, this year.

I'm old enough to remember those Nicklaus-Watson showdowns in the late '70s--wouldn't it be amazing to have Tiger and McIlroy go at it one Sunday in a major? All during Tiger's era of dominance, no one ever really stepped up to take him on; it was amazing how people fell apart all around him during majors. That's not meant to take anything away from him--obviously, his brilliance is what drove the head game. You get the feeling that McIlroy's more ready than anyone ever has been, especially in view of the fact that he's already had his "character-building" meltdown. Short term at least, this may be good for Tiger--it may spur him on. (Or maybe he's gone for good, or maybe McIlroy's just a blip; I have no idea, but I'm hoping for that showdown.)

― clemenza, Monday, 20 June 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
I'm inclined to think McIlroy will never do this again. As in, he may win many many majors, but not like this. Just an awesome, but one-off, career performance.
The most impressive things is to have come back from the humiliation at the Masters. Don't think I've ever quite seen it like this in any sport - it usually would take a year, maybe more, to re-group.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 20 June 2011 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
I checked Tiger's majors, and three times he blew away the field; three of his first four were by margins of 12, 15, and 8 strokes. Of the next 11, two were by five strokes, six were by 1-3 strokes, and three were playoffs.
― clemenza, Monday, 20 June 2011 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
yup, and McIlroy is not Tiger Woods.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 20 June 2011 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
yeah this is ridiculous, I don't want this to be like the LeBron/Michael Jordan thing where everyone has to collectively say "let's stop comparing kids under 24 to Tiger Woods". but I would definitely bet big on McIlroy winning at least 4 more this decade. this is a once in a lifetime performance but I don't even think McIlroy's peaked yet. in addition, Day is looking pretty sharp too and is only 23. Tiger's got his work cut out for him if he's gonna beat Nicklaus
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
I think R.Mc has one big advantage over Tiger -- Earl Woods didn't put a golf club in his hands when he was a baby. He's got the game and talent of Tiger without having the category-5 mental stress hurricane "I Am Tiger Woods" going on in his head 24/7.

can't tell you guys how awesome it would be if McIlroy and Tiger both had a 2-3 stroke lead on the rest of the field on Day 4 of some major
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
can't see how this victory has proven rory's fit to take on tiger 1-on-1 in those circumstances- nobody was near him for the past three days tbf
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
well if not Rory then Jason Day or someone like that - basically we're seeing an influx of awesome young golfers that I haven't really seen before in my life, the type of golfer that everyone was hoping would come up to challenge him over the past decade and a half. We all know about Tiger's insane dedication and work ethic so I'm wondering if this inspires him to train harder than he ever has. Obviously one major is not an indication of a great career but after watching McIlroy for the past year this seems like it could be the beginning of a ridiculous career, especially since he's probably not as good now as he's going to get.
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
well yeah i do think mcilroy is exceptional, aside from the point i was making, but in the next four years there'll be at least one more along, and in the four years after that there'll be another.
we're just seeing the results of the tiger boom in golf from 2000 or so onwards
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
so where does that leave Tiger?
i guess this is the question that everyone has - seeing a McIlroy/Day/Sergio rivalry is going to be nice, but if Tiger becomes a legit threat it'll make every major a must-see event
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
tiger's a phenomenon but tbh with the coming through of an influx of tiger-inspired kids, allied to his public breakdowns, tbh i'd like to see odds on garcia collecting more majors from now til they both retire

― jag goo (k3vin k.), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Whether it was visible to us or not, you think there was no stress there? I think Tiger's spent the past 2 years finding out you can't be a machine for 30 years without repercussions. He doesn't have any frame of reference for dealing with the repercussions mentally. Meanwhile, as NV points out, his joints are showing signs of breaking down after holding together an incredibly powerful frame and musculature. He's got to completely rethink post-machine life, mentally and physically.

i don't think he can get the record now
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
wd consider a bet on him never winning another right now. otoh if he can get his head together and rebuild his game away from the glare of the fame monster - big "if", obv - he could be playing and winning for plenty long enough to completely eclipse Nicklaus. i think there's enough to his game that he could come back as good as he's ever been, but he's got a shitheap of obstacles to overcome first.
― j/k lacan (Noodle Vague), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link

darren clarke is winning but he'll have had a few pints last night no doubt.
think maybe pick a hole, though we should get there a little after the time fowler/mcilroy start, so that could be good to follow.

Maybe Clarke had one or two last night. He was awesome today, could've had a more comfortable lead going into tomorrow but he missed a few putts.
Got a feeling about Dustin Johnson -- lot of steel to get through when he wasn't 100%.
Watson ws incredible though. Immelmann was scoring as well but I don't think the BBC cared.

Got in late, so I only caught the last two or three holes. All credit to Tiger for grabbing a share of the lead--great chip on 17. (Did the announcers ever nail it on everybody missing that put left.) I'll be happy if Tiger heads into Sunday no worse than a couple strokes out. They just showed that chart of him winning eight of nine majors where he lead or co-lead after 36. But notice that the one loss was the most recent example, the '09 PGA. To count him as a strong favourite at this point--as opposed to being very much in the mix--just seems to ignore all that's happened the last year-plus, and instead put a lot of faith into one rather miraculous chip-in at Memorial. Furyk, McDowell, Choi, any of these guys can win. I hope Tiger does it.

I had a massive headache and slept through most of this--woke up in time to see Tiger make a couple of bogeys. Playing those two par 5s in +1 really hurts. I think he's sort of still in it, but a real long shot at this point. "But those were different times," said one of the announcers--yes, and that's why those Sports Illustrated guys were so silly the other day.
If Tiger doesn't rebound right away, I'll root for the kid. Logic says the second he realizes what's going on he'll shoot 82, but when you see so many guys who've been around forever melt down in majors, maybe being 17 is a good thing.

The first one was puzzling, because you'd think someone tied for the lead would overclub before they'd ever underclub; the second was baffling, because he hit the wedge again. (Was the third one a wedge or a 9-iron? If it was another wedge, I guess that mitigates the first two shots somewhat.)

Bizarre finish. I think Mickelson probably has a right to be upset, but he'll have to grin and bear it or look bad.

Some great golf though: Rory off the tee, Mickelson's chipping, Fowler's shot at 16 from the other fairway.

Listening to the radio till the end at round 1:30am, really exciting finish. Again Rory stayed strong while others faded.
Sentence is awful but I just want to check: I don't think the British Isles have ever come up with a 'world beater' quite like this in almost any sport with a global-like reach? Both in individual sports or national teams.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 11 August 2014 09:05 (nine years ago) link
I'd offer Roy keane, idk bout global reach of their categories but Sonia o Sullivan, Michelle smith lol and Katie Taylor dominated their fields globally, Brian o Driscoll is an all-timer certainly.
brits'll have their own ideas, but rly idk its hard to define the criteria there.

Saw bits of this - was great, but the comptetition is lacking. Europe are now dominating (even UKIP wouldn't dare support the US).
They could look into an Americas vs Europe. Allow guys like Cabrera to get into the Ryder Cup.
More immediately I am looking forward to Mickelson's captaincy (he was clearly applying for it), that could bring a bit of life back.

Stipulating that I haven't yet watched any of it, so haven't seen just how great Spieth is playing, a five-stroke lead going into the weekend is far from safe, especially for someone who's never won before. Someone could catch Spieth before he makes the turn today--it's just a couple of birdies and a couple of bogeys.

Absolutely - he could crush the opposition. But saying "something about Spieth" is a nothing statement. He is an excellent player on great form coming into this. Most players leading after the first couple of rounds don't go on to win majors.

― johnny crunch, Thursday, 18 June 2015 11:29 (eight years ago) link
Similar to the Safeco Field trains which the Mariners tried to ban years ago, the Chambers Bay trains traveling by add to an already scenic atmosphere, imo. If the players can focus enough to tune out the spectators milling around, the train noise shouldn't be a major distraction.
Will be interested to see if the field tires from the course's elevation changes, and to read the post-Open course reviews. A number of league friends are marshaling volunteers this week. Looking forward to their reports, too.

Dunne would be my second choice after Spieth. Looked it up, and an amateur hasn't won a major since 1933 (not Jones--Johnny Goodman). Dunne would forfeit the $1.8 million prize money: "Amateur players are not eligible to win prize money and therefore, should an amateur win The 144th Open first place prize money will be distributed proportionately among the professional players who have made the cut." More humiliation: no money for Tiger.

Had to duck out for a dentist appointment...Double-bogey (four strokes from 100 feet?) and then two birdies--wow. The announcers seem to be indicating there just aren't enough scoring opportunities left for Spieth.

Baseball analysts would have had a field day with the announcer there: "Statistically, this distance is not Spieth's strength, but he's such a clutch player, you can throw the stats out the window." And so he misses.

Great try--I think Trevino passed Nicklaus much earlier in the round in '72. Contrary to the announcers, I think the pressure did get to him a little bit near the end, on the one putt and on the approach into 18. I'll root for Leishman now, but my interest has dwindled significantly.

watched a few holes last night, including jason day hitting maybe the worst shot he's ever hit as a pro (100-yard chip onto the green off the fairway, hit the ground about 3 inches before the ball, sent it 50 yards forward), but he seemed to be playing brilliantly aside from that - he's looked very accomplished every time I've seen him and there was no horror run of bad luck (or vertigo attack) to derail his challenge this time. very pleased for the lad

nah i'd say lowry has a major in him but i dunno if he's at that level. i also actually think for all the lol he he loves a pint stuff if he's that weight he's at a disadvantage to the others - they're all pretty physically fit now, i don't think you can be a serious contender if you're not.
― doing my Objectives, handling some intense stuff (LocalGarda), Monday, 17 August 2015 10:43 (eight years ago) link
ah fair enough. you never know, he could win a few. has the look of someone with the ruthlessness to do so, unlike say justin rose, who will probably never win a major despite playing truly exceptional golf in the majority of tournaments he enters. certainly inherited the mantle that was once mickelson's and then garcia's
― imago, Monday, 17 August 2015 10:48 (eight years ago) link
unlike rory mcilroy! rory's dgaf attitude is kinda sad i think. i mean i guess he enjoys himself and he'll win a couple of majors, but he really isn't that arsed.
― doing my Objectives, handling some intense stuff (LocalGarda), Monday, 17 August 2015 10:52 (eight years ago) link
oh but rose does gaf! just doesn't quite have the strength of mind. mcilroy sort of does have it, despite his seeming diffidence.
― imago, Monday, 17 August 2015 10:59 (eight years ago) link
for that reason, if justin rose ever does rouse himself to win a major it'd take a particularly heartless idiot or remarkable circumstances elsewhere to not vote for him in that year's spoty

mcilroy will definitely win a few more majors but i bet spieth wins more. and i dunno if that's purely talent, it's hard to say with golf where talent ends and hard work begins. but like most things the latter will probably get you further.

Was watching a bit of the broadcast today (hardly ever do anymore), and they were saying some player was learning to bounce back from his bad shots. Which made me think that you could track that--what do different players score on holes following bogeys/doubles/etc.?
Have golf analytics taken hold like in baseball (majorly) or hockey/basketball (seem to be just taking off--football I don't know about)? There would seem to be room for such a thing, although I'm not sure how useful they'd be. Maybe the standard stuff--driving distance/accuracy, putts-per-round, etc.--correlates well enough to the best players.

― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 21:08 (seven years ago) link
so stoked for the masters. i think jason day is clearly the best player ie he's excellent at all facets of the game, although most pundits seem to think rory is the guy. winning 3 tournaments in a row seems like a lot however so i'll take mcilroy or koepka.
so many players have credentials and are in form though, scott, bubba, phil (kinda)
btw lydia ko was awesome when she won her 2nd major last week, all those clutch par putts on the back nine culminating at the 18th where she laid up to the par 5 at about 90 yards:
caddy: you want to put this about half a yard to the left of the flaglydia: okay
she puts it about 2 feet above and to the left of the hole, taps in for birdie and the win. ice cold.

I'm no aficionado, so I'll be stubbornly backing Rickie Fowler like I do every tournament, though I can definitely see Scott or Day taking this. Or McIlroy of course.
I have a feeling about Danny Willett too. He's on great form and seems to be on the rise in general, perhaps buoyed by being a new father. Also can't shake floating inklings for Oosthuizen and Matsuyama.

Brutal day.
McIlroy was pathetic yesterday. When his game is off he never shows any intelligence or fight unlike say Woods or Spieth, just so weak. His 3 putt at 7 was laughable given that Spieth was looking at bogey at best.
Meant to be no wind today so if they make the pins accessible could see Jason Day going low.
Rooting for Matsuyama or Langer or anyone else not called Spieth.

Revealing the depth of hostility felt by some Muirfield traditionalists towards the admission of women, it emerged that a group of about 30 members had written anonymously to fellow golfers before a ballot, urging them to reject the change.
The letter argued that “a traditional resistance to change is one of the foundations of our unique position in golf and our reputation”, and stated that “the introduction of lady members is bound to create difficulties”, suggesting that women’s presence would “endanger foursomes and speedy play”.
speedy play? get the fuck outta here. the amount of time i've been held up on the course by stupid (male) arseholes who take 5 practice swings, 'visualise' their shot, then proceed to duff it 15 yards into the rough, catch a bad lie then wait for the green to clear 250 yards + ahead of them before clunking it another 80 yards is numerous.

it'll end in disappointment, inevitably, but westwood is playing some great stuff. hit a hybrid to 8ft on the 270 yard par 3 which he holed and just hit a lovely shot into his final hole and finished birdie, birdie.

Shouldn't that just count as a hole in one? The rules of this game are nonsense. Also, it's 2016 and there's literally millions on the line, they can't fabricate a flagpole from carbon nanotubes or something that's paperclip-thin and stays upright?
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 03:26 (seven years ago) link
why would hitting a flag that's there to show you where the hole is count as a hole in one? there's nothing logical about that. the ball has to go into the hole, highly convoluted concept for the layman obviously, try to imagine if you can, the ball "disappearing" into a small circular recess in the ground known in golf as a "hole" - the ball has not become invisible, it has simply fallen into this "hole" - when it hits the flag it hasn't "disappeared" although it is close to the coveted circular recess.

Masters just a week away. Already stoked tbh. DJ obviously the best player on the planet right now. Spieth is great at Augusta and he's improved his approach shots this year but his putting has fallen off. Matsuyama was hot for 3 months but has struggled the last 4 weeks. Justin Thomas tore it up at the start of the year and can hit it a mile which is useful at Augusta but I've never seen him play a tough course well. Rickie Fowler won a couple of weeks ago but is a v aggressive putter especially from inside 10 ft which usually works out well but I'm not sure will at Augusta. Rory driving it as well as he ever has and has improved his putting over last year but still think his distance control with his short irons is p ropey.
I'll go for Phil to win (even though he hasn't won a tournament for 4 years) and Tyrell Hatton to finish top 5 (first timers don't generally do well at Augusta but he's a v good driver and a great putter). Rooting, as always, for Sergio. To no avail.
First women's major of the year starts today. Want In Gee Chun to win as she has the best swing in the world right now, male or female, imo. Just a joy to watch. Think Ariya Jutanagarn will probably win despite her whole 'no driver' deal, i guess when you can crank a 2 iron as well as she does you don't need a driver. If not her than Inbee Park owner of the slowest takeaway in golf, the smoothest putting stroke, and the serenest demeanour. Look forward to seeing Lexi Thompson take the biggest divots I've ever seen when hitting wedge shots accompanied by the most out of control footwork, shame her putting is so lousy. Lydia Ko won last year with the ice cold coolest of wedge shot's at #18. She's changed her coach, caddy, equipment, and putting stroke since then so....

nobody has broken 70 so far...and the wind is only getting stronger.
tangent's boy rickie going well, as was thomas pieter's until he went bogey, d-bogey at the start of amen corner.
willett started with a double, somewhat predictably given how useless he's been in the last 11 months, reckon he might get done by his amateur playing partner today.

Never thought Garcia would recover from the putt on 18. His approach on 18 was among the greatest shots I've ever seen, I think, taken in context--Rose gets a wildly lucky bounce, Garcia's history, etc. The putt was godawful. And then he hits another brilliant approach on the playoff hole.

somewhere down the back stretch nick mentioned that it had turned into match play, which is a comfort zone for sergio. i also read something in the past day or two about how his playing partner makes a difference to him. so--match play against a friendly face--taking NOTHING away from the guy but it had to help.

With regards to the best current guy without a major, it's gotta be Kuchar, right? He's top tenned every major in his career, won plenty of tourneys. He's obviously not in the same tier as Sergio, but he's prob the most accomplished of the tour veterans without majors

here we go:
http://www.espn.com/golf/story?id=1552644
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Vijay Singh made it clear how he feels about Annika Sorenstam playing on the PGA Tour.
What is she going to prove by playing? It's ridiculous. She's the best woman golfer in the world, and I want to emphasize 'woman.' We have our tour for men, and they have their tour. She's taking a spot from someone in the field. "
-- Vijay Singh
He wants to her miss the cut next week in the Colonial.
And on the odd chance that he is paired with her, Singh says he won't play.
In the strongest comments yet about Sorenstam becoming the firstwoman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour, Singh said the32-year-old Swede has no business playing at the Colonial andshould stick to her own tour.
''I hope she misses the cut,'' Singh said in an interview with The Associated Press after his runner-up finish at the Wachovia Championship. ''Why? Because she doesn't belong out here.''
Singh knows he won't be playing in the same group as Sorenstam when she becomes the first woman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour. His name will be drawn from a pool of PGA Tour winners when the pairings are made.

In the following week's tournament, the Sony Open in Hawaii, Thomas became the seventh player in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59. During the first round, he opened his round with an eagle and needed to make an eagle on the ninth, his last hole of the day, to shoot 59.[7] Thomas became the youngest player to shoot a sub-60 round. Thomas finished with rounds of 64, 65, and 65 to win the tournament by 7 strokes. He set tournament records for 18, 36, 54, and 72 holes (59, 123, 188, and 253, respectively). He also set PGA Tour records at 36 and 72 holes and tied the 54-hole record.

― imago, Monday, 13 August 2018 07:49 (five years ago) link
Heard on the radio this morning that CBS had a 69% bump in Sunday's audience from last year.
Yesterday was really promising...yet at the same time, I'm even less optimistic than before. Those close putts aside, he shouldn't have scored so well; he made a bunch of putts, and rebounded from errant drives all day. Even more than that, though, there's just too many great players out there now. There's gotta be 10-15 guys are a threat every major to lap the field if they get hot. Looks like he might mix it up for another two or three years, but actually winning, that'd have to be the most perfect of perfect storms.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 August 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link

I mean it's kind of easy to see it from the other angle too, if he'd hit fairways in line with his career avg. he might have won it
that said I think clem is otm. I don't think Tiger is a favorite to win another one in his life but it'll be very cool if he does. I really did not think he'd come this close ever again.

― k3vin k., Monday, 13 August 2018 20:47 (five years ago) link
I don't think they would book a bet that can't pay out until he dies
― frogbs, Monday, 13 August 2018 20:56 (five years ago) link
True, up to a point. He did wail a few during his heyday (being Superman then, it always felt like the recovery shot would be spectacular anyway, even though it wasn't). Found some stats for those years:
http://3jack.blogspot.com/2009/04/statistical-analysis-of-tigers-driving.html
His fairway accuracy was, I don't know, middle of the pack?
1997……………………68.6%1998……………………67.9%1999……………………71.3%2000……………………71.2%2001……………………65.5%2002……………………67.5%2003……………………62.7%2004……………………56.1%2005……………………54.6%2006……………………60.7%2007……………………59.8%2008……………………57.9%
He settled in around 55-60%. I don't know how many fairways he hit yesterday, but he was 0-5 on the front nine--maybe he ended up hitting two or three for the round? That's a big difference. Unless you're zeroed in on the greens like he was yesterday--phenomenal--I don't know how you can win hitting the ball of the tee like that.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 August 2018 20:58 (five years ago) link
yeah think he was beating around the 100th rank in his prime
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Monday, 13 August 2018 21:39 (five years ago) link
i'd be shocked if he's ever favored at the start of another major, but i think his game still sets up well for both the u.s. and british open. augusta is probably too long but he obviously knows that course as well as anyone so it could certainly be in play too.
i rarely pay that much attention to where the pga championship is being played,but the fact he was able to hang in with all the younger players, knowing he had to try and bomb it off the tee on Sunday to keep pace bodes well imo.
if he had putted this well, at carnoustie, i think he would have won after everyone fell back to earth on Sunday. I expect that type of scenario to play out at a few more times before he's completely washed up. his performance the last two majors of the year give me confidence he can win one again, despite not being head a shoulders above the rest of the field. that's not something i believed in April.
― dynamicinterface, Monday, 13 August 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link
Sergio getting picked for the Ryder Cup when he's played shit since April is p bullshit. Hopefully the rough is up and the greens are really slow otherwise Europe could get wiped. Also picking 3 players as wildcards who are below average putters is p stupid.Still the US hasn't won abroad for about 25 years or something silly so I've that to cling to.

Rory in the best run of sustained all round good golf that I can remember from him. Justin Thomas looked really good early season but has tailed off during the Florida swing. Think either Molinari or Shauffele have a really good chance. Now that Sergio has a green jacket I'll be rooting for Kiradech Aphibarnrat and his wonderfully old fashioned golf swing. P sure that whatever happens I won't see a swing as perfect as the one Jin Young Ko just won the ANA with this weekend or a -5 finish over the last 6 holes to close out the tournament at augusta national like the one Jennifer Kucho produced to win the women's amateur on Saturday.

Anyone watching? There have been some lovely underdog stories at the top of the leaderboard so far. Canadian Corey Conners finished on -2. From the BBC:
played in the Masters as an amateur four years ago, won the Texas Open to earn his place in the locker room this week - after surviving a six-man play-off just to get into the field and then making 10 birdies in the final round.
Justin Harding (South African, first time at Masters) on -4. I know these early leaders usually drop away over the weekend, but I still like to imagine that someone totally unexpected will excel.

brooks is such a stone cold killer down the stretch of majors. some of the up and downs he made on the back 9 at shinnecock last year were insane. made me really happy to see ariya jutanagarn, the womens #1, following kiradech around yesterday. thailand represent!!
kinda love sergio's swing tbh such an extreme transition from vertical to horizontal shaft on the downswing, ridiculous amount of lag, only trouble is when someone unathletic and untalented like me tries to replicate it and ends up blocking the ball 30 yards right!
nice to see tangent's boy handily placed. casey shooting 81 was a big shock to me, thought him and adam scott would both do well, at least scotty didn't let me down.

Weather forecast is pushing everything hours earlier, threesomes not pairs, with field split and mirrored (those ranked 30-odd to 65 start in place order from 10th, those ranked 1-30-odd start in reverse place order from 1st). Sucks to be in the bottom half of the field: you finish your Masters tournament on the 9th green with nobody watching.Final group is Finau, Molinari and Woods (so they’ll be on 18th as the back-markers finish on the 9th).

In the moral compass of the universe--or at least the celebrity moral compass--Tiger's hardly the worst person out there. (And I basically don't care anyway--he's a golfer.)
I'm not sure if I was watching when Nicklaus won in '86--I think I would have been, but no clear memory. He came back from four down. Today was thrilling, that was undoubtedly just as thrilling.
― clemenza, Sunday, 14 April 2019 18:35 (four years ago) link
Comeback incredible in that he worked out a way to play safer and shorter and still twitchy as fuck off the tee and beat a field of much younger fitter men.
Imagine what his career record would look like without car/life crash & multiple surgeries.

btw I disliked him even before the scandals etc. - its a complicated achievement. At the beginning he is clearing the cobwebs off golf through his approach, perhaps. Then it just becomes one-way track and strays into unwatchability.
How far do you want to push this btw? I'd argue, from the way Tiger speaks about things and is almost always so unpertubed that he has no conscience and that, once he overcame the physical obstacles and changed his approach that it was entirely possible to see this win. It is something to see, really impressive and yet.

I can't really defend him as a person--he's done horrible things, and I found that photo of him, Nicklaus, and Trump a few weeks ago nauseating.
But he single-handedly renewed my interest in golf when he arrived in the mid-'90s, and his dominance for the next decade was like nothing I've ever seen (I suppose there have been tennis players just as dominant). And it did matter that he's black. I wanted to see him catch Nicklaus, and when everything fell apart, that felt like an unfinished story. Still a longshot, but after today, it doesn't feel like an unfinished story anymore.
All of that, for me--a fan--easily outweighs his personal life. His kids have every right to hate him, but he's not my dad; his ex-wife has every right to hate him, but he didn't cheat on me. He didn't break laws, I don't think, and I believe his 3,000 mistresses were all consensual.

Winning older does happen now and then. Of course Nicklaus and then in other sports like tennis or snooker. It certainly happens.

I get that, but what I was getting at is "hardly the worst person out there" is not the best grounds, exactly, because what if it was a lot worse, for one. As it is I don't care he slept around or whatever, but its the persona as expressed in the field -- there is a lack of feeling or even enjoyment (and when there is its just fucking ugly to watch). Of course some of the shots were great and he was the one composed at the 12th...so fine.

xyzzzz__: Would your dislike be tied into what tangenttangent was saying, the insanely disproportionate attention paid to Tiger for a decade, like no other golfer (with the possible exception of Mickelson, and occasional flashes like Garcia) existed? It was indeed wearing, but from a business standpoint--what he did for television in terms of ratings and sponsorship--I can understand that. I don't know how the early start time will figure in, but I bet the ratings for today will be off-the-chart.

To NV and xp clemenza: I don't see a lot of beauty there. A lot of the time he is hacking away at a golf course. Might have helped if he had a near equal (like Federer had Nadal). Today was unlike any of his wins in that there was a duel there, so I saw something else.
The media focus was bad but you can comprehend that as he was so dominant.

Skill-wise, I think he probably did. But the most fascinating thing to me during that decade was how deeply he had gotten into the heads of everyone else, Mickelsen especially. Today felt a little like that: with the exception of Johnson, everyone else seemed to fall apart as soon as they looked to be in it. That's to Tiger's credit, I think.

I started watching golf when Faldo beat Norman at the masters but that was sorta it for him, then the Tiger era started.
The comparison with the Hendry years is spot on really but that only lasted about five years before Ronnie broke through and Ken Doherty beat Hendry at the world's in '97. And then you had Higgins and Williams too so Hendry had competition and there were some classic finals!
Tiger just felt longer and he was on his own it seemed. Genius but what's in it for me man?!

I honestly felt a bit emotional watching him win. So he isn't a good person or a role model. Are we all really so perfect or charismatic or well-rounded?
He has had a strange life and the pressure cooker of celebrity in America doesn't exactly treat people so well, not least after a public meltdown like Tiger's.
This piece is very long but really gives context to today - his dad died, he lost his shit badly, he was injured and his body was in ruins, he fucked up his own life and made lots of stupid decisions. Somehow, and I'd say even just the physical side of it alone is remarkable, he has managed to claw his way back.
The ambiguity of his character makes it all the more interesting.

Rory with the 4 putt at the 16th including 3 from less than 3 feet.Course seems p volatile, birdies available but doubles and triples aplenty also.
Nice to see Lowry leading and Kiradech with a bogey free 68.Koepka koepkaing his way round like it's a Monday evening knockabout with friends. Not convinced Jordan can keep it out of the long stuff from the tee enough for the week but his putting and pitching game is back to his stellar best, going well at the moment.

For the second time this year an imperious last round performance from Jin Young Ko to win a major. She makes it look so easy (even in tough conditions). Felt sorry for Hoo Ji for getting a horrendous plugged lie right under the lip of the bunker at 14 which led to a triple and her falling out of the lead. Hope the weather stays fair for the British Open at Woburn this week.

That was one of the greatest final days play that I've ever seen! Hinako Shibuno wins on her major debut at 20 years old in her first tournament outside of Japan. Just incredible play and smiling all the way round every round. Salas played a great final round and was unlucky not to make a play off. Also Jin Young Ko only 2 shots off the winning score which would have been her third major victory this year, she is such an incredible player especially on Sundays.
Wish I could emulate Shibuno's swing but given that she's double jointed and her left arms bends the wrong way at address and takeaway I've got no chance.
― oscar bravo, Monday, 5 August 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link
iyo how long before they can run a proper mixed tournament with more or less equal chances? thinking short (by men's standards) but difficult holes etc. or is it just as stupid to compare men's and women's golf as it is for other sports
― imago, Monday, 5 August 2019 11:37 (four years ago) link
They had an event this year. I think it was either in Jordan or omam, I'm not sure. It was for ladies european tour players, senior European tour players and challenge tour ( level below regularEuropean tour). They did some equations based on average drive length of the respective tours and determined the tee boxes accordingly. A challenge tour guy won iirc but a woman was second and the top 20 had plenty of each grouping. The Australian LPGA/euro event at the start of the season has 2 separate events equal prize money same course where the groupings are alternate, 3 women tee off then 3 men etc. I think Celine Bouiter won the women's section.
Not sure how feasible the Jordan event is going forward cos there will always be arguments about how equal the hole length is etc. Would like to see a high profile mixed doubles event on the PGA or European tour though for sure.
― oscar bravo, Monday, 5 August 2019 13:19 (four years ago) link
Would like to know how much of the prize money for the Open comes from the TV rights, because now that the R&A runs the British Open for women it should sell the rights as a package with the men's and split the prize money equally, but I would guess they would argue that the prize fund comes from additional sources too.
― oscar bravo, Monday, 5 August 2019 13:23 (four years ago) link
wife and i were sitting at a bar eating lunch and caught the last two holes by chance. we were both chuckling at shibuno's (very charming) goofiness, like literally joking about how she was acting like she had never been in a big tournament before i googled her and found out....she had never been in a big tournament. then she turned out to be a stone cold assassin on that winning 20-footer. what an awesome story.

Watching Dechambeau win in Detroit today was amazing. Averaging 350.6 yards off the tee, hitting an 8 iron 2nd shot from the rough on a par 5 230 yards onto the green. Just ridiculous. P funny when they put his swing side by side with Chris Kirk's and started them at the same time which shows that Bryson swings it so fast that he had hit the ball before Chris Kirk had even got to the top of his back swing.

I've been playing for 45 years--almost daily for a couple of years in my teens, regularly and semi-regularly at other times, and I mostly stopped through my 20s. The game remains a complete mystery.
I had one of my best 9s a couple of weeks ago. Only 43, but I parred 6 of 9 holes (one with a long putt and one with a chip-in off the green, so there was some luck). Also took an 8 and a 7, and then on the back I was 52.
Last week, I played 15 holes in 78--I could have and should have come in about 93 or 94. But the other three pushed me over 100. I drove great, putted pretty well, and was a nightmare chipping and pitching within 100 yards.
Before I die, or before I physically break down, I want to be able to go out there and shoot in the mid-80s with some consistency. I've been trying forever, and it just never happens. (I'm going to try a few lessons next spring.)

Unless you have a terrible slice or hook problem I agree that putting and dropping your approach shots onto the green make the difference between par or not par. This is not my wisdom, but my dad was a HS golf coach whose teams always placed high in the state tournament, a low-handicapper, and had five attested lifetime holes-in-one. He loved to talk golf. I listened in order to be able to converse with him sensibly.

villain patrick reed by one shot over villain bryson dechambeau at the halfway point.
has there every been a great player (4 majors is unquestionably great imo) who has failed so consistently and completely whenever he has had to play around a difficult golf course in firm conditions as mcilroy has? especially if it's windy as well? paul mcginley likes to pull out the stat that rory has never won a tournament where the winning score is worse than -12, and watching rory play that doesn't surprise me. but you'd figure he'd get it done at least once.

Yeah that's right Michael.
Insane to think that when tiger posted -18 in '97 the next best score was -6!
Love sungjae Im. Remember his first year on tour when joel dahmen's caddie tweeted after they played with sungjae that in his 14 years caddieing on the tour Im was the best rookie he had ever seen bar none.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 15 November 2020 22:26 (three years ago) link
And Tiger went out in 40 on the Thursday in '97... -22 for the last 63 holes! I remember thinking Montgomerie was going to reel him in after round 2. Hilariously wrong. Strange that Tom Kite was runner-up. Another era. That would be like Federer overlapping with Connors or something.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 15 November 2020 22:41 (three years ago) link
ha ha yes. was watching '97 masters the other day and was taken aback to see that it was faldo putting the jacket on tiger and then remembering that faldo's comeback vs Norman was only the previous year so it wasn't as if tiger came on the scene when faldo was years and years past his prime, he came on the scene when faldo was still good enough to win majors! but as you say it seems like another era altogether.

I was four weeks early but SPIETH!!!!!!!! for real this time.
Really hope Patty Tavatanakit holds on to win the major tonight as she played a wonderful round 3 of p breathtaking golf. Averaging 316 off the tee, and straight, p amazing. Shout out to Shanshan Feng in contention after not playing a tournament for 16 months and actually during that span not touching a club at all for over a year. Also loved her answer when asked about what she did do during quarantine in China - "Well got up in the morning and thought about what I was going to have for breakfast, and after breakfast what I was going to have for lunch, and after lunch thought about what I was going to have for dinner. That was it really."

If you're someone who consciously marks the passage of time, this won't be surprising. I must have shut that off when it comes to golf, though, because the inclusion of Sergio Garcia in the "old guys" category here (#7) is very disorienting.

his stroke with the 3 wood was so smooth on 16.will zalatoris is legit. a top 25 machine considering he's still kinda a korn ferry tour player but results on the main tour have pushed him into the top 50 in the world in the meantime. his putting can be a bit iffy tho.hope the greens on Saturday are more like day one speed.Rory just put a swing on it on #10 approach shot that looked like a 18 handicapper.also SPIETH!!!!

hideki post rain delay was sublime. only downside is how nervous i'll be watching him tonight.

― oscar bravo, Sunday, 11 April 2021 10:24 (two years ago) link
Fingers crossed for Hideki this evening. Seems bizarre that, 40 years after Aoki's near-miss, Japan still hasn't produced a male major winner. But then I've never quite understood why the French don't dominate clay-court tennis (probably based on watching exchange students rallying for hours in the local park when I was a kid... like, can they all do that?), instead of just one Roland Garros men's singles champ since WW2.

kinda feel rory is trying to lean into the tiger way of winning majors too much, conservative golf let the others make mistakes etc but the fields are deeper and noone is ever gonna have the same debilitating effect that tiger had on other players games. like today it looked like rory did too much missing in the right place vs attacking. then again a couple of putts drop and I'm probably praising him for his control so whatever.enjoyed yesterday's play more until cam smith hit the back 9 Sunday.

guess one of the 'big 3' scottie/rory/rahm are odds on to win this. sheffler is a low key killer scrambler and legit one of the best iron players from the rough i've ever seen. last year at the masters he one putted half the greens which is amazing. feels boring to predict that one of those 3 will win so i'll go for either finau or cam young.

We eat a lot of wild meat at my house so I enjoy butchering and I do a lot of hunting.” Champions traditionally drink from the Claret Jug. One is left to ponder what on earth Harman may do with the famous trophy

Understand from several sources that the US team room is fractured, a split led predominantly by Patrick Cantlay.Cantlay believes players should be paid to participate in the Ryder Cup, and is demonstrating his frustration at not being paid by refusing to wear a team cap.— Jamie Weir (@jamiecweir) September 30, 2023

He wore a cap at last year's Presidents Cup, for which players ARE paid.Cantlay also refused to attend the gala dinner earlier in the week and, along with close friend Xander Schauffele, is sitting is a separate area of the team dressing room.— Jamie Weir (@jamiecweir) September 30, 2023

I was with a grade 2 class in Listowel, Ontario, today, and one of the boys was Corey Conners' nephew (brother of his mom). "He's rich, you know"--he laughed. (Also said his uncle had won a million dollars when he won the Masters; I said I didn't think so but let it go--I don't doubt that he won a million somewhere.)
