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.

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

Oh, and it's a skins game.

Totally agree.  It seems to have hurt his game, too.

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.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
