Good old Tom Watson, now 63 yrs, still playing to win. After the first day of the Australian Masters Tourney, Tom lay at 78, a poor showing. Next day he shot 68 and made the cut.  And that 14 yr old Chinese boy, greatly improved from 82 to 70 but missed the cut. But still that is pretty good golf for a kid that young under professional conditions.  Practicing for his upcoming Augusta date, maybe destiny.

Actually the Aust open.

Old Tom was sick, flu I think first round, fought back well. (very popular down here).

Tianlang looks very much 14 years old, interestingly has been using the belly putter since he was seven, his coach in China makes all his new students use it .

Is it just me, or does the course look very ugly and just not right ? I mean the landscape is boring and the greens look extremely firm.

It is located next to the main highway heading south from Sydney right near the airport.  I think it was originally marsh land. They try to cover that up in the coverage, but you can see the cars.  I can't see how all the car exhaust and jet exhaust would help the grass.  I can't imaging a course that close to Logan Airport would look any better.  I remember driving by it when I was in NSW.

It's been warm there according to my friends who live in NSW.  I also think the camera work could use a bit of filtering with the bright sun.  That would make it look a bit greener.  Seems really bright on my TV.

BTW, Sydney is an awesome city, as is NSW.  If you ever have the chance to go, make it happen.

Yeah, I have been to Sydney before, went for a month, also visited Melbourne and Alice Springs and a few days on the Gold Coast, amazing country and Sydney is a great city.  But yeah in the coverage you can airplanes roaring over every few minutes, quite annoying actually.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
