Good info. I don't know if taking 7 weeks off will be enough to give Fowler/Wolff any sort of edge, but its a start lol.

Pretty sure it was the caption of an Instagram of him mashing drivers, so if I were them I wouldn't get my hopes up haha

I don't see anywhere in this thread or the linked articles that anyone said that. Am I missing it?  The closest I found was in the ESPN article which stated  Which is accurate, it ranked 1

The only thing that I think may be an advantage for team FW (I don't think they'll be hitting too many fairway woods though lol) is that it is more relaxed of an event. Rory and DJ are known performers with good records in big events. This casual game may fit Rick/Matt better. Those that listen to NLU know that Rickie is a cat, not a dog lol.

If I am Puma Taylormade and whoever else the pros are rocking as a chance to really show their goods. Push carts, maybe Rickie uses a Clickgear. Dustin wearing Adidas shorts like most of us wear in our rounds. Rory slinging a new Taylormade light weight bag. Things like that. I get it is for charity but I see it as a real way to show pros wearing and playing the way we do. Obviously skill level is different. Thoughts?

On paper it seems like four-ball should be easy win for Rory and DJ so I’d much prefer a foursome to make it more even. That being said the way the skins are set up and as they are progressive this should still be entertaining as $750000 is still up for grabs on the final 2 holes and on any single hole the chances are pretty even. 
 

I’d even think a texas scramble would be even better for the excitement.

Fowler/Wolff don't stand a chance.  I am rooting for them anyhow.  

It's 18 holes. Virtually any Tour player would "stand a chance."

Oh, and it's a skins game.

Matthew’s swing is unwatchable.  Some how it reminds me of Charles Barkley’s swing.

I thought it was worse than fowlers, but it maybe helped his drive on number 2. Ufta!!

I couldn't disagree more. I think it's awesome and that drive on hole 2 was seriously impressive. 356 yards!

Going to be tough for me to watch with the dead time between shots, the attention span of a three year old I guess.. Nice to see them carrying their own bags. Wish they had solidarity with the rest of us and leave the flags in.

Interesting to see how long each takes to hit their shot. DJ doesn’t take any time at all. Wonder if thats normal or if its just because this is a for fun match.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
