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.

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 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
