This looks to be a good one, all of the top 50 players in the world have entered this tournament which has no cut line.

The groups on the first two days gave us some interesting playing partners to say the least.

Martin Kaymer Lee Westwood Luke Donald
Graeme McDowell Tiger Woods Phil Mickelson
Paul Casey Rory McIlroy Steve Stricker

Matt Kuchar

Jim Furyk Ernie Els
Ian Poulter Dustin Johnson Bubba Watson
Retief Goosen Francesco Molinari Robert Karlsson
Hunter Mahan Miguel A. Jimenez Alvaro Quiros

I know there are a couple of threads on the groups already, but I don't see the point with a thread just to discuss the groups when we can have a thread for the entire tournament.

Can we discuss how a group of 3 golfers is called a "pairing"?

Poor Poults. Who'd want to be holding the short straw in that "pairing"?

Out of 14 driving holes, what's the over/under on Poulter getting to his tee ball first? I'm going with 10 times.

I'm actually really excited to watch this tourny.  I love to pairings and the tv times for them.  We will get to see most of Tigers and Phils round.  I think Tiger will place top 3 if not win solely on the fact that his group is strong and I think he will mentally have to step up his game.  If he can't get excited and focused for the first two rounds he is done.

My other to favs are Kaymer and Stricker.

i'm sayin the leading first round score is -4...if tiger is E or worse he's done for. he's not a comebacker like he used to be. I can't wait for this thing to start...why in bloody hell is it starting at 11ish? why not earlier. lol

Bear with me, but if you're only going to talk about the "pairings" why not use one of the existing threads that dealt pretty much exclusively with the "pairings".

Because this thread is for the entire tournament, groupings, tee times and tv times is a part of the tournament. Plus, nobody has tee'd off yet, why not talk about the groupings?

In one of the groupings threads perhaps? Just giving you the gears since there are three threads for the same event which is confusing.

I agree, which is why I made this thread to cover the entire tournament, not just the groupings the first two days. Or should we have one thread for each day? After the first two rounds, those two other threads doesn't serve much of a purpose, this will at least last the rest of the tournament.

Not seeing this anywhere yet, but if this is true, I chose a bad week to switch him into my fantasy lineup just before bed last night. Darn it!

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
