OMG why are some of these guys (on both sides) wearing those disgusting saddle style shoes?

You're a young player and you've watched Tiger your whole life.  He's your idol.  Now you're playing and he's there watching you.  Could that make you more nervous than you would be otherwise?  And could that actually make you play worse?

They all think they're a young Jack Nicklaus?

So did Tiger and Ernie get a great deal on gray sweaters and go halfsies on a double order?

I always root for the underdog.  Then when the underdog takes the lead I root for the new underdog.

Right now as I write this (Saturday morning 4-ball) they're on holes 13, 14, 15 and 16 and we're behind in 3 of the 4 matches.  Oh boy!  This could really turn out to be some humiliation.  Yesterday, we did make a great comeback.  Let's hope our guys can do the same today.  This is pretty pathetic so far.

So, we could only get 1-1/2 points this morning (out of the 4 points available) and we're now down 9 to 5.  Can we win all the 4 points this afternoon (their time) to tie it up?  I can't tell a lie:  I think we'll be lucky to get 2 points.  What happened to the strong team we were supposed to have?

I can just hear Reed in the team room, "Come on, Webb! You're killing me!"

Well he does have a way of alienated people.  I imagine in a couple of years the only caddy he will be able to retain is the one Kucher used in Mexico a year ago.

Good to see the international team playing well....when these things get too one-sided or predictable, they just aren’t interesting and lose relevance. An international win would be a good thing for this event.

Plenty to like about Royal Melbourne, but especially fond of the firm and fast conditions. Makes for creative shotmaking!

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
