This is the place for your thoughts on the AT&T.;

Looks like David Duval might have his annual top 10 here this year -- he's six under through 14 and tied for the lead. Or might he fade away quietly after a good first round for the second straight week?

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

at this point...we can all agree his pants are the only under-par thing about John Daly's game...oh no wait...his irons, wedges, putts, drives...certainly not his scores tho lol

I heard on the broadcast today that Kenny G is a scratch golfer. Kind of hard to believe from what I saw. Nice swing an all but I saw several wayward shots and his short game from around the greens looked weak. But playing on tv might have something to do with it too.

Do you know how difficult PGA tour courses are? The

average tour player has a +5 handicap. The rough is much higher, the courses are much longer, and the greens are firm and very fast. These guys are the best on the planet, bar none. Even scratch golfers look like hackers compared to them. Then couple that with the fact you're on TV, in front of an audience, and under a huge amount of pressure. Tour players are flat out phenomenal.

Yeah, I know how tough PGA courses are. I've been around the block a time or two. Why the preaching?

Perhaps because not everyone really understands the difference between a score on their home track and how they would fare on a tournament course . That would not be you '76, clearly.

I'm reminded of a comment someone made in another thread about how a low handicap amateur might be competitive with JD in a tournament, given his current form. Let's face the facts, those guys are playing in a different golfing universe - they didn't devote much of their waking life to the great game of goff for nuth'n.

Kenny G. just sank a long one on 18 (replay on TGC) ..... nice. Gotta love the expression on his face. Priceless.

These courses are all under 7000 yards AND the players aren't playing the same tees as the pros, so you can imagine they're at about 6500 yards for them or so.

And I doubt Kenny G is terribly nervous about being on TV. Simple fact is a lot of these guys have vanity handicaps. I'd play Kenny G straight up. If I lose he can play a song for me. That'd be punishment enough.

LOL. I'm thinking you might blow a few short putts (on the high side, naturally ) just to avoid the agony of victory in that particular case.........

Good point about the yardages for the amateurs. At any rate that guy G. is a pleasure to watch. He's got 'bottle', as we say in the old country. Makes you wonder how firm one's own knees would be on the 18th tee, from any tee.

When I try to imagine myself on the 13th at Torrey standing in the tournament box, well ..... it isn't a pretty thought.

hahhaaa, that's good!

But how about JB Holmes! What a crazy finish. Eagle, birdie. I knew that putt on his last was going to fall. I could see it in the way he was studying the putt. I think Frank Nobilo knew it too. He pointed out in his commentary about the extra attention to detail JB was making on the putt. I've yet to play Pebble Beach, or any of the Monterey Peninsula courses. Look freakin' sweet!

hey man, lay off kenny g. i dig the sax.

Yeah, he's a consummate musician, even if his taste is a little lacking. He does hold the world record for circular breathing too, somewhere near 45 minutes. That's no easy feat.

since we are on this line of thought...I have always wondered how hndcps and indexs relate to different courses....for instance I'm and 8...i play 6500 yard courses usually rated 69 or 70 with slopes around 120...If I shoot an 78at home then I play a tour course with a 74 rating and a 135 slope w/ stimp greens @ 12...along with a pro with a +5 what the hell should we expect as a result and is 13 shots fair? I'm thinkin I would get my ass kicked but I'm interested in the how tranferable indexs or hndcps are btw our home tracks and a tour course?

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
