Hoffman is 6 under through 10..if he starts putting well-hes tough to beat

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Not going but I played the course a few weeks back, it is beautiful. Shot 40-46-86 from the 7200 yard tees. Weren't allowed to use the pro tees for obvious reasons. The course was in absolutely amazing condition. Pretty cool teeing off with grandstands around you!

$120 gets you on with a Forecaddie. Oh, and plus $20 tip.

There is a good bunch of players in the top 30 headed in to the final round- Phil Mickelson, Davis Love, JM Olazabal ( who ive been very impressed with considering how little he has played), Steve Elkington.

They've been saying on TV that the winner does get in. It might just be that winning would put you in the top 50 in ranking, I dunno.

The rule was changed this year to allow the winner of the Houston Open (if he wasn't already qualified that is) an invitation to The Masters. From 1999 to 2007, this wasn't the case, but it's a good change. Wagner won a tournament with a very solid field, and he deserves his spot at Augusta.

As for the Houston Open in general, I was very impressed this year. The course was in phenomenal shape, and it was a tough test for the field. It didn't seem to set the guys up for The Masters as much as the media were saying, but it was still a very nice setup. The field was very strong as well, and I'm sure that will continue in the future.

Congrats to Johnson Wagner for the win. I had him on my radar a year or so ago, and I'm glad to see him cash in.

I know I'm a bit late on this thread, but oh well. I played with Charley Hoffman in the Wednesday Pro-Am out at Redstone for the Houston Open. He was telling me that he just switched putters this week because his putting has been horrible so far this year. He has two Scotty Cameron Red X3 mallet putters; one light and one heavy. He's been using the light one all year so far and switched to the heavier one this week just to change things up. I guess it was a change for the better.

He was putting on Sunday with a non Red X putter. He had the "Fat Square" (or whatever it's called) putter on Sunday.

Are you sure about that? I know he was using a Red X3 on Wednesday and atleast during the first two rounds (didn't catch much of the last two rounds). He said the only custom feature he had on it was that he had a line milled on the topline of the putter to correspond with the line he draws on his ball.

Absolutely. Was shown on TV several times. Had the three red cherry dots in the back side of the face and everything.

Seeing as he had the line milled on the topline, he could have had them put the three dots on it instead of "Cameron" or the Red "X" logo?

All I know is that the putter I held in my hand that he was using on Wednesday was a Scotty Cameron mallet putter.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.

      I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.
