Any golfers you feel will fair well on this course this week? 1 and 2 won't be there and it looks like Luke Donald and few others won't show, but overall the field looks strong. Any players you have in mind who might have a chance of winning this?

I'm curious to see if the Jones kid has a chance of making his 7th straight cut. He has a nice game and like Johnny Miller says he has a great looking swing.

I also am hoping Ernie can follow up a win with another strong performance. And of course would like to see Hunter Mahan do very well.

Ryuji Imada is going to make some very good showings, both at the PODS and upcoming events in the Florida / Georgia region.

Shin, you took the words right out of my mouth. I struggled in picking my team in the Fantasy picks because Ryuji is on Els' line. Ryuji has played a lot of golf in this area of Florida and should do really well. Even though I have to go with Els in my picks, Ryuji is my dark horse.

"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."

Calc is a good pick as he won last year and played well last week. But in general I like to pick the guys who are playing well right now versus guys with a great tournament history. Don't get me wrong I'll look at that but I like taking guys who are playing well. With that said, I like guys like Els, Stuart Appleby, Steve Stricker, Stewart Cink and Paul Casey. A few guys I like this week who have a pretty good track records here; Jonathan Byrd (doesn't it seem like he plays well every other week?), Chad Campbell, Joe Durant, Charles Howell and maybe an outside shot to Rod Pampling and Heath Slocum. I wonder why KJ Choi is skipping it? He tears this place up!

Yeah I am behind Calc also.

WGC and Palmer coming up. He has to get ready.

Especially for the Palmer. If he wins that, he's got all 3 living legends' trophies at once. It's like a grand slam, only not.

Cink's scores in match play were pretty good. Didn't he go out in 29 for one round?

I think Ernie Els should do well this week at the PODS. Even though the tournament has yet to start I think Els chances of playing well (and perhaps winning) will have increased as a result of the boost in confidence from his win at PGA National last week. Since the course is being touted as difficult it should favor players like Els.


Other golfers I think will do well include:
Robert Allenby (he jumped up to contend for a while at Riviera and PGA National)
Stuart Appleby
Steve Elkington


Golfers I'd like to see do well, but may not do much this week:
Fred Couples (with his questionable back and lack of practice/play recently)
Retief Goosen (appears to not have recovered completely from his eye surgery)
Trevor Immelman (he may not be back to form yet after his tumor removal in December)
Davis Love III (may still be rusty from the down time from his ankle injury)
Charles Howell III
Geoff Ogilvy
Justin Rose

In my bag:

Driver: Burner TP 8.5*
Fairway metals/woods: Burner TP 13* Tour Spoon, and Burner TP 17.5*
Irons: RAC MB TP Wedges: RAC TPPutter: Spider Ball: (varies ) (Most of the time): TP Red or HX Tour/56---------------------------------------------------

Ryuji Imada is going to make some very good showings, both at the PODS and upcoming events in the Florida / Georgia region.

Ryuji Imada played well enough to get into the upcoming WGC. I'm very glad I had him for both my fantasy teams. He certainly got more FedEx Cup points than Ernie Els did this week! I'm surprised no one predicted than Sean O'Hair would play slowly. I heard he was put on the clock at 15? I'm not certain, as I was watching at the gym at the time. Wasn't he put on the clock at the PLAYERS last year? Does this happen frequently to tour players, or is it just him? I guess slow play works for him, maybe. But just think of what a great playoff a 2-stroke delay penalty would've created!

Wow, that was an exciting finish... waiting breathlessly to see who was going to three-putt, hit a tree, find water, or miss a short putt, maybe get the lead and then throw it away, or leave a chip 20 feet short. These guys are "pretty good".

If Tiger had played he'd have won by 10-12 shots, stress free.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
