Looks like Spieth was crowned to have thrown out the better first pitch. Add that to his 2015 resume ;)

On a side note, He's left handed playing golf right handed? I didn't know that.

I think throwing out the first pitch would be so intimidating....I mean it's only sixty feet, less if you swallow your pride and throw from in front of the mound...But damn....that's scary.

Nah. He threw left handed to give Zach a chance!

Yeah, but you don't really do either very well, so… ;-)

Phil Mickelson is right-handed. Hogan may or may not have been left-handed.

I guess the gauntlet has been thrown down for the Newport Cup!

I heard Zach on the radio today and he admitted Jordan won and he had to buy Jordan dinner and donate money to Jordan's foundation. I agree It has got to be intimidating throwing out the first pitch at an MLB game. I had to do it once at a Little League game and was so nervous I almost threw it over the backstop.

When in doubt, twenty feet high drilled into the backstop is better than bouncing it up there...

    • Even on a perfect center hit I was receiving at most 1.48 smash factor. 10 days ago on the warming up for a round my Driver made a weird sound, I checked the bottom and it was cracked. Don't know for how long it was cracked but at least this time the crack was easy visible. Maybe it was already cracked before but with a more subtle crack?.. don't know. I'm waiting for TaylorMade to approve the warranty and send me a new head. I was using the Stealth Plus, I will take the opportunity and upgrade it to the Qi10 LS paying the difference.  On Sunday with my old Titleist 915 and softer balls I was reaching 1.5, even 1.51 on center hits. Test didn't went well. Only gained 2..3 miles, not worth pursuing. Figured out that with a ball and with a target, my path was way to in to out with this new idea, so in order to move the club in the correct path I needed to slow down to redirect the club on the downswing or aim more to the right, close the face a play a big hook.. not possible. I already play a big draw with Driver, more curvature is unplayable. Yesterday at home, with no ball messed around with a more neutral path, even swinging a little out to in. It felt a lot more in sync with the body. With a big in to out path it feels like my hands are working right, away from the body, when the body is working to rotate to the left. With the path to the left is was easier to apply force thru the hitting zone.  As always tested 10 swings with my current swing (A), and 10 with this little out to in path(B).  The difference was huge, like 12 miles faster with swing (B). I knew something wasn't right. The fact was that the PRGR was aligned more in line with the (B) path so it of course was giving higher speeds. I proceeded to align it with the (A) path and tested again 5 more swings each. Again (B) was faster but only by 5 miles. (Made a tiny experiment moving the PRGR to a more extreme in to out path and the swings register 25/30% slower for both swings, so it wasn't reading properly at that angle) Finally I moved the PRGR in the middle of both paths, and this time (B) won by 9 miles. Off course, this was without a ball and a target so.. I will be hitting the range tomorrow to see the real difference.

    • At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.
