Tiger's dilemma: his achilles tendon, which has been injured and reinjured, is acting up again. Should he gut out the rest of the round and maybe lose another season, or should he stop aggravating i

So...Tiger leaves without giving an interview & that makes him a crybaby? Feel free to not like him. But don't make up shit to fit your opinion.

he wanted to, but his caddie had forgotten to bring the scuba gear today

And that's why Webb Simpson's caddie will never work for Woody Austin.

The Bermuda rough looks really tough. It's a lot different than last week's overseeded rye that was dyed that lucious and uniform green.

Tiger's day was pretty mediocre by the stats.  7/14 fairways, 11/18 GIRs, 1.9 putts/GIR, and 30 total putts.  Putting today was better than his opening round last week, but his ballstriking was worse today than any day last week.  Was the wind that bad today?

Rory, Tiger, and Phil all had pretty mediocre rounds.  We'll see what happens tomorrow.  I'm guessing all three come back with rounds in the 60s.

It looked like the winds were a lot stronger than 20 mph gusts the were reporting on tv...those palm trees were waiving all over the place.

Tiger his some pretty crappy lag putts...a couple of them looked like they were at least 12-15 feet short.  And he hit a few ballsy shots that could have ended up in disaster.  The shot 2nd shot on 8 and then the shot on 18 took some serious stones.  It worked out on 8 cuz he hit the putt for birdie.  On 18 he just hit a crappy chip and then left the putt short.  he looked bothered pretty much the whole day.  It's always a mystery which Tiger personality is gonna show up.  I guess we will see which one shows up tomorrow.

His ballstriking was better and his putting was worse than the stats indicate, because he missed some fairways by a couple of feet, and some greens by a couple of inches. But he had distance control problems in every phase of his game. He was inside of 60 feet on only one of the four par 3 holes, his short game wasn't sharp, and his lag putting was the worst I can remember. He scored pretty well, considering all that.

Going tomorrow. Wind is predicted to be a steady mid-teens breeze probably not as gusty though. I'm not sure who to follow, as there are so many too choose from.

Some of the greens look terrible. There's a lot of discoloration that they said was weather related, one was vandalized in February, and when they zoom in on some putts the ball is moving all over the place. Guess that's why Trump called it tired and will put $200 million into it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
