Blake Adams (I admit I dont know of this golfer) has birdied 6 holes in a row and he's coming up to a Par 5.

I think I heard he's playing on an injury exemption.

That par three 17th on the Palmer course is pretty scary...

Any miss and the ball ricochets off the rocks!

JD with a nice little 69 (31-38) to start, seeing if he can string 3 rounds together to play on Sunday (Daly)

the "other" JD starting out his year with that weight loss didn't help with his 76 (Dufner)

Players play, tough players win!

I don't know that I would bet money on it but I sure would like to see the first JD win.  He certainly has talent if he can just keep himself together long enough he'd be a force to be dealt with.

15 ain't much easier. There are a couple of bunkers as a safety net, but otherwise it's a very similar hole. That whole stretch from 14 through 17 plays right along that ditch. It's certainly intriguing but it's not very aesthetically pleasing. I wish they could give the ditch a little makeover and make it a little less utilitarian looking.

Perhaps the pros aren't quite as superhuman as we sometimes like to think. On the Par 5 18th hole of the Palmer private course, where everybody I've seen so far has been pounding their driver, the longest of the day has been 313 and the average is 276 yards.

Is this the course that was televised on the GC today?

Mostly yeah. They show a little bit here and there from the other two courses but the PP is the main course (that they all play Sunday) so that's where the majority of the cameras are.

I think these are pretty courses too in a desert beauty kind of way.   The water holes are challenging as are the par 3s.

Should be a good finish today.  Kuch was on fire but stumbled at the end yesterday and the top of the leaderboard is very heavy.  For me...its so much harder to watch golf on TV now that Tiger, isnt playing unconscious like he used to, but still trying to to enjoy it for what it is and pull for some of these guys.  Its gotten to where I only watch the majors if those....Id rather just tee it up myself, but I'll tune in today and see what happens.

I noticed that too. It was the hole where they had the ProTracer and the yardage grid, right? Guys were hitting well struck shots and they were landing at 270 and rolling out to 285. Longest carry I saw was maybe 295. I saw one guy carried only 255.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I have a putting mat in my office. It's 9 feet long almost 4 feet wide. I've drawn a line down it in order to practice hitting my line and stuff. Works fine for what it is.  While I'm not a fan of lining up a line on my golfball for every putt. I think for practice sessions it can have a lot of value.  To me this product makes sense. This is the first time I've seen it. It showed up as an add on the right side of the TST webpage. What do you all think? PuttAIM Laser Training Aid Get ready to dominate the greens like never before. PuttAIM Golf is a golf putting aid that uses laser technology to help you improve your game. This device works to ensure your putts are aligned properly and on track...

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
