Since it's officially US Open week and I didn't see this posted anywhere else on here, I figured post about it.  I saw a show on Fox today titled US Open Epics: Tiger Woods Perfection at Pebble.  It's a documentary about about the 2000 U.S. Open. Had interviews from Tiger, Stevie Williams, and several other players and broadcasters.  Not sure if that actually came out today, but I can't find a link to that video yet.  Really great to watch.

I was however able to find one from last year talking about the 2008 US Open.  I would recommend everyone check both out if you have the time.  The one linked below is 45 minutes long, but goes by a lot quicker than that.  Fantastic to watch. Gave me chills watching it.  Can't wait for this weekend!

US Open Epics: Tiger and Rocco

I never get tired of watching that back nine on Saturday, where he made the two incredible eagle putts, plus the chip-in on 17.

Watching that live was incredible.  One of my favorite parts about the linked video is Rocco's reaction to Tiger's Sunday putt on 18.  Live he is watching and says "I knew he'd make it".  In the interview he says "Nobody else makes that putt. Nobody".  Poor Rocco was soooooooo close to winning.

If Tiger's birdie putt on 18 isn't the greatest putt in golf history, then name one better!

I tried a while ago to come up with a better round or even 9-hole stretch of his career that was more entertaining. That back 9 was just unreal to watch. I've only been able to come up with a couple that come close:

  • 2019 Masters Sunday back 9
  • 2005 Masters Sunday back 9, but that's mostly because of the chip-in on 16. Tiger bogeyed 17 and 18 and it went to a playoff hole. The middle of Tiger's 3rd round might have been the better option - he birdied 7 straight holes (7-13) then bogeyed 14 and 15. But that was split over two days due to weather. 
  • 2000 PGA against Bob May
  • Maybe the 1999 PGA against Sergio

Unless I'm missing something obvious, that's kind of it for majors he won.

If Rocca would have won in ‘95, I would vote for his. But he lost the playoff. What also made that great was Musberger’s call. “Yes! Yes! Rocca has done it!” Never forget that.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By saevel25 ·

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.

      Vintage PING Hoofer Lite - How to Adjust Straps?

      By Gregsfolly ·

      I recently picked up a vintage Ping Hoofer Lite carry bag.  I am not sure how old it is but estimate it is probably from around 2012 or so? I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps! I am going to try to attach a picture of the bag and will also describe it below. I cannot figure out how to adjust the straps in a way that makes the bag comfortable to carry.  The bag also seems to want to be more upright/ vertical than how you would normally carry a bag like this. I have tried to search this site and others on the web but almost all info is on the newer ping Hoofer bags which have quite a different design. The bag is pretty minimal in terms of pockets and has no handle on the top.  It has 2 backpack straps that are not connected to each other.  They are connected to the top of the bag and in the middle of the bag above the primary ball/ gear pocket. Any feedback appreciated, thanks for your help!
