Thought people might want to discuss the john deere classic here. I went to day 1 yesterday of the tournament, it was my first pro tournament and it was fun to watch. I got to the grounds at 8 am and charlie wi, some guy, and ricky barnes were teeing off. I stood right behind their drives and they were all extremely accurate. After that I followed steve sticker, david toms (who dropped out after a few holes because of his hip), and mark wilson. Steve Stricker was impressive and deadly accurate with scoring clubs. After the morning groups I went to the range and watched Faxon, Vegas, Daly, Day amongst other hit balls. Daly had a cig hanging out of his mouth while he was hitting balls most of the time, lol. All these guys were impressive. Followed most of these guys during their rounds and john dalys wife was walking with us too. Honestly, Daly has game but it just seems like he doesnt have that intense focus that guys like Stricker and Day have who are going after the win. The Daly, Duval and Hamilton group had alot of followers, all were previous british open champions. Watch out for Jason Day, the guy just bombs the ball and is really going after a win.

I wonder if that's a mistake - the leaderboard shows him at +1 for the tournament (and +1 for today's round), which means he would've had a bogie on that hole (assuming the scores for all his other holes are correct.)

Btw, there's already a John Deere thread - mods, can we merge this?

I was looking at the leaderboard at golf.com - when I posted he was at +1 but now he's at +14. They must have been slow to update.

So yeah, what the heck happened?!

Quote:

After making a mess of the fourth hole, John Daly’s score on the par-4 was revised from an 18 to an 11.

Apparently Daly had jokingly told his playing partner, Todd Hamilton, to put him down for an 18. No cameras were on scene to record the action, however, and it’s possible the score may again be revised.

The trouble began for Daly when he hit his tee shot well to the right and into the rough. From there, he struggled to advance the ball, hitting it no more than a few feet until eventually taking a drop. After that, he hit into a greenside bunker before reaching the green and two-putting.

The 11 dropped Daly from 2 under on his round to 5 over before he bogeyed three of his next four holes.

Friday was not the first time Daly recorded a high number — he had an 18 in 1998 at Bay Hill.

It’s also not the single-highest score on a hole on the PGA TOUR this season. That honor goes to Kevin Na, who recorded a 16 on a hole during the Valero Texas Open.

ShotTracker currently has him at a 13. Apparently he took 7 whacks at the ball without advancing it more than a few feet before taking the drop. Very similar to Na's situation.

While I was at there yesterday, On the last hole Hamilton pulled his drive a bit to the left into a bunker. He walked back and shoved his driver into the cooler with all the players and caddies drinks in it,lol. I should of asked him for the driver, he probably would of given it to me

You didn't feel the need to acknowledge the source of this, Kieran? You don't just copy a slab of someone else's writing and pass it off as your own.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I like Daly's comments about it.

Jason Sobel
Question: "So how did you make 13?" John Daly: "Two-putted a 20-footer for 12." At least he didn't lose his sense of humor looking for ball.

Full story from Daly here: http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/the-daly-18-er-13-at-the-deere/

Interesting quote: "I really was hoping they wouldn't find it so I'd have to go back to the tee..." At first that puzzled me since there was nothing stopping him from doing so (by declaring his tee shot unplayable). But I think what he meant was that he didn't want to be tempted into trying to hit out of the native area. Sure enough, that was his undoing. :-)

That's what I mean about john, hes got game but doesn't have the focus. He probably didn't want to have to walk back to the tee, get a rules official or whatever was necessary to do the correct thing. Probably would of had a Bogey instead of a 13.

LOL

Seriously? I was in no way trying to 'pass it off as my own'

Relax.

Anyway, I fixed it as to avoid any 'confusion'

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
