Is Patrick Reed in the field? I don't know how many top 5 guys are playing this week but he's my pick if he's playing.

Yep, Reed is here. Pretty decent field it seems to me. Spieth. Kuchar. Watson (Tom, not Bubba, lol) Nick Faldo is playing too, which might be fun. I'm here in town visiting my parents, and the island is starting to get crowded. Fewer and fewer tee times at the course iny plantation here in Indigo Run. McDowell hit a ceremonial tee shot with a nearby cannon that gave him a shock after he made contact.

Looks set to be a great tournament.  It totally goes against the grain, but some of me thinks that Jordan Spieth will be right in the mix again this week.  That's hard to do after being in the final group at Augusta, but Jordan is just so desperate for his 2nd win that momentum could well get him to the top of the leaderboard come Sunday.  Wind looks to be just as a big a factor this year, as last.

Some nice pairings:

8:10* Kuchar/Els/Mahan

8:20* Snedeker/Haas/McDowell

12:40 Spieth/DLIII/Watson (Tom)

8:40* Ames/Immelman/Faldo

also, it would be awesome to let players take turns in the booth commenting on Faldos play

Players play, tough players win!

Even though the Heritage seems to be an afterthought being right after The Masters, it has always been one of my favorites to watch.

I'm pulling for Kuchar, especially after last week.

Hate the Masters being in the rear-view, but absolutely love watching this tournament........just a great course for TV viewing IMO

The Masters and Hilton Head are my two favorite consecutive weeks on tour.

Mine are the British Open and Canadian Open. Especially when the Canadian Open is in my home town like last year. :beer:

I must have missed something: I didn't realize Faldo still played outside of the British Open and an occasional Champions Tour event. Is there something special that's causing him to play this year at Hilton Head?

One of the reason I like the Heritage is that it rewards more accurate ball strikers such as Luke Donald, Zach Johnson, and McDowell who seem to get left behind on the longer courses. I could be wrong, but I think it has one of the lowest GIR averages on tour. Besides, I think that jacket they give out is pretty cool, in an old school kinda of way.

Come'on now, wouldn't you rather get this then a boring green jacket? :-D

It should be a kilt instead.  You know, to honor the origins of the game and such.

IIRC, it also has some of the smallest greens on tour. Part of why some say this course favors the poorer putters :-)

Ahhh, yet another reason I like the Heritage. I'm with Dufner and think putting is the worst part of golf. But maybe that because I suck at it. :-P

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
