How's it going guys?  Is this great golf or what.  i'm watching here in Asia where some sterilized broadcast is flipping between groups with hardly any good graphics or commentary. No course layouts or hole pix, or talk of the sweaty synthetic, but so pretty,  shirts on Woods, Phil and other USA guys. Sure, some casual golf shots, which like you and I at the practice range are Terrific shots but where is the competition and personal pride i was led to believe would be on display? OK, better than tennis or motorcars going round and round but me, I'd out to the course myself for a great 18.

Are you joking? Today was incredibly competitive and dare I say intense. Especially the back 9.

I watched the repeat on TGC, and it was good!!!!   and i seriously giggled a bit when DL3 had Sammy the Squirrel in his lap, and then at the end had him in his pocket, and Tiger Woods gets pranked with Sammy the Squirrel...

It is what it is

Watched the coverage on Skysports last night and think it's one of the best day's action of Golf i've seen for a while. Some insanely good shots from both teams!

The best shot for me was De Laet's tee shot on 16th I think, where he just lobs it within a couple of feet.. awesome.

Half the time I look at the scoreboard it screws things up. Look at this:

I think they're using JavaScript and it sometimes doesn't fully load or something.

Enjoyed watching the matches today.  Phil and Keegan are a lot of fun to watch, you can tell they really enjoy golfing together.

Interesting to see Phil with the SLDR driver.  The sole is blacked out.  Tiger's swinging really good, nice to see.

I think Price needs to split Grace and Sterne they are rudderless out there. Beat downs aren't interesting. A few are struggling on the US side too.

One of the differences between Prez Cup and Ryder Cup, everyone plays so you can't "hide" a player that is struggling.

The November skins games were more thrilling than this stuff. Ryder Cup has no money on offer for the 'athletes', rather like college football.  What about the Prez Cup?  Any money for winning?  If not, we need to question what these guys are doing, and why.  To me, it's all hype, branding and marketing; no real sport.  These guys are professionals, not amateurs, and are motivated, driven and measured by $$$$$$$$.

Disagree. Most of the big names on tour care about winning. When they get 2nd, they aren't as concerned about taking 1/2 million less as they are about not placing first. You think Tiger would play majors if they were for free? Oh course he would. Then you mention your watching Pigskins for this reason? Pretty sure those guys are under contract, winning / losing isn't directly affecting their paycheck. (Given a lot of winning / losing might, but not quite as dramatic as golf to say the least)

Sterne is getting a "rest' this afternoon. Sadly, he and Grace will be the SA team in the World Cup of Golf event next month. I can certainly think of another pairing I would prefer!

Are they trying to show as few shots of Woods/Kuchar and Scott/Matsuyama as possible? This match would have been cool to watch, but I did not see more than 5 full shots in the last two hours...

Ah, there we go. Great second into the 15th by Woods.

Gee, I wonder who Watson is going to team Tiger up with next year?

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      "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.
