Greetings ..... Check out who's invited to this year's CIMB Classic, particularly those in the "Available Top 60 from the 2013 Fed Ex Cup Points List". As you will see by viewing both links below, the CIMB tournament staff had to go way, way down the points list to find players who wanted to play in this event. Will this be the case all the time, or will more of the top players choose to tee it up here in future years??

Weird comments for someone that hit 15 GIR in the first round

http://www.pgatour.com/tourreport/2013/10/24/mickelson-cimb-struggles.html

Quote:
"I can't remember swinging this bad in a long time," Mickelson told Golf Channel after opening his 2013-14 PGA TOUR season with a 1-under 71 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "I can't find the middle of the club face. And I'm not sure if the ball is going to go dead left or snap hook right and it's a frustrating time tee to green."

For real, he really isn't even playing that bad. His confidence must just be a little low right now.

FYI.

I played with Keegan Bradley's (who is leading after 2 rounds) caddie early last week before he had to travel to Malaysia.  Apparently he lives in Parker, CO and travels out of DIA (Denver International Airport).

He is a great guy.  Friendly and courteous.  He has that "caddie mindset".  He raked all the bunkers he hit into (even the disturbed sand that wasn't his doing).  He was constantly fixing pitch marks on the green.

I don't care for Keegan Bradley's pre-shot routine.  In fact, I can't stand to watch him before the shot.  But after having met his caddie, I am pulling for him--for his caddie more so than Keegan, if that's possible.

His pre shot routine is down right painful to watch but he can play that's for sure. He played high school golf at my other course so I can't help but to root for him.

I watched tv coverage yesterday. He is beating his tee shots bad... Real bad.

He might be referring more to his tee shots, I'm not sure.  There certainly is a lack of confidence there, didn't put a driver into play for half of the season.  He might be dealing with some off center hits, so more gear effect is coming into play.  You get a guy with his speed hitting it slightly off the toe, it's going right (lefty) fast.  Think that's what has him a little shaken.

Phil will get it together and then take a nec break for the winter. Keeegan, I hope he wins. He is slowly becoming my second favorite golfer behind Dufner. And I dont know about you all, but I love watching late night golf live. I usually record golf and watch it when home late at night and have to avoid the internet so I dont know anyhting about the days rounds, but its nice being able to watch it happen when it happens. Thats why I think that maybe a Major in Japan/China/Somewhere over there might work. It will be live coverage in the evenings. Wonder if it would get better ratings?

GIR is obviously one of the most important stats, but it doesn't always tell the whole ball striking story- 2 Doubles, 10 shots back, under 40% fairways hit is not exactly good golf for Phil.  I have not seen any of the tourny, but maybe Phil feels he has gotten away with some poor driving and ball striking even if his GIR% is good.  If it was the US Open, it might be hard to make the cut if you were only hitting 40% of the fairways.

We are into overtime. Playoff between Woodland and Moore, beginning Monday 7.30 am KL time.  That would be about 8.30 pm Sunday night. (I think) Anyway, those are two protagonists. Aphibarnrat tied for second.

Really, PHil needs to back off on the past parallel back swing.    He can pull it off at times, but I really think it's hurting him in terms of ball striking accuracy.    Just because he can, doesn't mean he should ALL THE TIME.    IMHO  of course ....

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
