it stinks that the misery of the players championship took a day away from the tavistock cup. that tournament is always fun to watch.

Yeah, luckily the weather is supposed to be good for today at the Tavistock Cup. I honestly have never heard of it before this year, but I kept seeing it on the Golf Channel. Then I did my preview of it here at the Sand Trap last night, so I learned a lot more about it by doing that.

It sounds like it will be a fun event to watch, and with the large purse, I'm sure the players will be playing very hard and will be very competitive.

I'm ready to see Charles Howell/Lee Janzen take on Annika and Ian Poulter. Howell and Janzen are two of my favorites, so that one will be fun. I'm glad the replay is coming on tonight on the golf channel.

Wow, what an event! I watched all ten hours of it (and have the report to show it ). I'm not normally a fan of "made-for-TV" type crap, but this one elevated itself. It had 18 great players (34 majors between the two teams, something like 535 international professional wins), an exciting finish, and featured a course we rarely see and will most likely never, ever play.

Wow!

The Golf Channel had its usual mediocre coverage, including Jerry Foltz who described Tiger's 350-yards-on-the-fly, smack-in-the-middle-of-a-15-yard-wide-fairway drive on the last playoff hole as "way right." Their scoring system - a bunch of arrows pointing up, down, or sideways - was dumb. It gave no indication of by how much a player was winning or losing. Would "+2" and "-1" been better? I think so.

Wow! Some great golf, a great course, great shotmaking, and a great outcome.

Wow!

I got to watch a couple hours of it last night, and what I saw was pretty darn good. It is always fun for me to watch Lee Janzen playing. I was hoping for a winner, but that is ok. Both teams played well enough for the tie, and they can settle it next year.

This event seems to be picking up some steam and really moving forward. Hopefully 5 years from now, it will really be an event the golf public looks forward to.

And hopefully, we get a 2 day event next year like it is supposed to be.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
