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.

isn't there a reorganised major soon?
uspga 2nd week in august. brooks going for 3 in a row.
tiger back playing on thurs in the memorial at muirfield village, 9 of the top 10 taking part should be good.

lol bryson first round of memorial, starting at 10th tee
10- 353 yard drive11- 362 yard drive13- 359 yard drive17- 407 yard drive1- 423 yard drive
i only saw the first 2 both of which were in the fairway so it's not like he's long and crooked. seriously think if he played st andrews in the summer time he'd drive 6 or 7 of the par 4s. ridiculous.

women's british open superb from start to finish. brutal conditions first 2 days followed by some great playing at the weekend. fantastic job from sophia popov to outplay the field and win a major. she's world number 304 and a symmetra tour grinder so a life changing victory. kudos.

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.)
― clemenza, Saturday, 12 September 2020 21:56 (three years ago) link
work strictly on chipping and putting imo
― Spottie, Sunday, 13 September 2020 04:25 (three years ago) link
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.

watched 10+ hours of this yesterday. beautifully brutal with only 3 players breaking par on the day - bryson, bubba, and hideki.
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.

man with the coolest trigger move in golf matt wolff leads by 2 from bryson. man with swing of my dreams louis o. another 2 back. rory still in it at 1 over.will be rooting,as ever, for hideki. turn on the sub air and let the carnage commence.
― oscar bravo, Sunday, 20 September 2020 11:21 (three years ago) link
I have never actually seen Bryson and his new swing this year. Cyborg.
Wolff has more hitches in his swing than I don't know what! Even his little pre-swing address has a hitch.

Loved watching Wolff hope he can sustain a long and competent career cos I love weird swings. That pre swing move is hilarious and I kinda want to try It to kick my motion and tempo in gear.

45 years, almost made my first-ever eagle today. Short par 4 (305 yards), hit a decent drive, pushed it a little right. Hit a 9 into the green and caught it perfect; I could see it rolling on and right towards the pin, but couldn't tell how close. Six inches--weirdly, though, above the hole, like it somehow curled around.

So happy to watch Sei Young Kim win her first major today, the Women's PGA. Was probably the best currently active player without one. Put on an absolute clinic today with a 63 in the final group holding off a charging Inbee Park ( a legend herself). Love her aggressive flag hunting game.

Everyone did a nice job today. A v low-scoring round. I've got to wonder how the silence could be positively impacting the psychological game. Casey sounding sort of rapturous when he was describing the atmosphere to one interviewer. Rickie on -3.

yah. excellent day's play. rickie has been terrible all year so nice to see him turn it around. if anywhere could revitalise a player I thought it would be Augusta and spieth but not so far, jordy now #80 in the world!matthew wolff played a couple of exquisite chip shots and his major record so far is played 2 finished 4th and 2nd.as always rooting for hideki who has really upped his fashion game in 2020 with his shoes/shirt combos.
