I don't think so. These guys know how to play golf. What's a guy driving around in a cart going to do that Steve Stricker driving around in a cart isn't doing?

It's an exhibition event and nobody is going to get more eyeballs and more publicity for the President's Cup than Tiger Woods. It's an absolute no brainer for him to play as long as he's healthy, IMO.

I have never been excited for a Presidents' Cup, and this year won't be any different. Seriously, just give the US the W already and lets move on.

Finally...a putt. We need a huge momentum shift. Ball striking just not there. Ugly.

My Marines knew how to fight too.  But sometimes it takes leadership to pull them all together into a cohesive unit rather than just a group of highly talented individuals.

There’s a reason we scrutinize football coaches that lose too many games despite talented individual players too.  
 

Just a thought...

I think you're vastly over-estimating how much captains "coach" in these things.

The comparison to a football coach who actively makes calls re: strategy, deployment, alignments, plays, etc. is not appropriate.

And again, Stricker is out there captaining right now. He won the last PC.

I’m thinking less “coaching”, and more “leading/inspiring”...

We are running out of holes today. DJ looks lost on the greens. Woodland just lost. Reed and Simpson??  Woods and JT grinding. It should be easier fo these guys. 
 

internationals want it more as of now.

I think your dislike for Tiger is clouding your judgment.

Stricker "lead" just fine two years ago.

Or if the captain and his team had focused last week on learning the course instead of kicking off silly season in the Bahamas.

DJ needs to sit tomorrow. Back to back days his group getting slaughtered. The time off from injury is showing. Maybe should have sat this one out.

Should've pulled a Brooks, yeah, and stayed home. Kevin Na would be well received right now, I think.

This is so hard to watch.  Looks like a bunch of locals taking all the money from visiting tourists.

is it possible we don’t even make it to Sunday.

DJ has yet to play 16 holes in a day. 
 

International squad is making the shots they need to. We are looking timid. 
 

If we don’t grab at least 2 points this session it could be done Friday for us.

Between the Ryder Cup and this, we really need to evaluate who can compete the foreign courses the best.  Just because a player is top 8, doesn’t mean that player should automatically be selected.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
