I’m not sure I’ll have much interest in this. I like watching Tiger in tournaments. Real PGA tournaments. I didn’t find the last one too entertaining though it was ruined by the idiot announcers who couldn’t keep their mouths shut. And Phil? Not really playing very well prior to this mess. I dunno. Mixed feelings about it I guess.

To me any live golf sounds good now. If I have to pay for it but proceeds go to relief efforts, I’d say its a win-win. Lets hope they adjust the game plan a bit though.

there wasn't much banter between Woods and Mickelson either.    That part, to me, was disappointing.   I wanted to see more smack talk.    I think the announcers felt they had to say something because the golfers weren't.

Maybe they’ll ham it up this year.

Apparently, Brady and Manning are joining them.

It sounds more and more a modern-day version of "The Match" might be coming our way involving four of the…

 And now for news no one cares about, Tom Brady is a Tampa resident now, moving in to Jeter's old house.  He has 30,000 sq. ft. to stay at home in during the Florida stay at home order.

The poster below needs a little fixing though. 😜 I don't watch much football, but it's Tom, right? Please fix the clubheads.

Not sure about this really. I’m not saying I’d make an effort to not watch it, but I won’t necessarily make one to watch it...If that makes any sense. 
As much as I’m a Tiger fan and like to watch him play this isn’t the venue I’d choose. Tiger is the GOAT. Phil’s not really even close to Tiger in that capacity. No one is. No, Jack isn’t. I guess the trash talk can be fun? But it doesn’t have much bite when you’ve got one player so dominate over the other. The tail wagging the dog gets old.

  • iacas changed the title to Tiger (and Manning) vs. Phil (and Brady) "Champions for Charity" Match Official!

I'm excited for the golf, less excited for who is joining them.  Replace Manning with Romo and, if your team is ever 3UP or more, your pro has to play the next hole alternate shot with Charles Barkley as their partner.

If there isn't much else on TV, I'll watch.   I believe it would be more interesting to see them play alternate shot.   The nice thing about this broadcast over the Tiger vs. Phil will be that Manning and Brady will do some real smack talk (I hope).

Hopefully Brady won't be walking into a stranger's home just off one of the fairways.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
