The European Tour is in full swing at the BMW Invitational in Munich, Germany. Early leader is Henrik Stenson.

My pick is Retief Goosen.

If Stenson really has found his way back from his high 70s to 80 scores then I think he will win it. I only saw the last couples of holes but his 275 yard shot to the 18th green that landed 2 yards from the flag was insane.

Kaymer recovered well today are a poor start. Dustin Johnson doing only very average also. Big mistake by Kaymer to try and change his swing earlier on this year.

Yeah, why did Kaymer change his swing? Can't understand why you would change your swing when you have  a winning concept... Any ideas?

Apparently, he wants to be able to hit a draw off the tee. We'll have to wait and see if it was a good idea.

Looking at his swing before and after, he's definitely trying to get more inside on the takeaway and downswing.

The younger Americans seem to be coming over to Europe more these days. Bubba Watson is playing the French Open next week, for example.

I'm done with Sergio. He treats me like a rag doll.

Then three putts to lose it all. What a shocker.

Good to see him contend again, though. And that finish gets him into the Open -- so a pretty good week nonetheless.

Very disappointed Sergio could not pull out the win. Great to see him playing well again. I just want to see him win a tournament relatively soon!

Maybe the Open Championship?!

I can dream, can't I?

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
