I'm the biggest Jordan Spieth fan but man did he play like sh!t today. He was horrific. Time for some changes in swing coach and caddie. He needs someone else's perspective on his game.

Ya man...me too. It seems like he just can’t simply hit the ball very well some days. Like stinky shots all the time.

I don’t get it

I’m a Spieth fan as well, and I’m also disappointed that he didn’t play well. One of the reasons I root for him is he’s a local guy. I’m from Durham, NC, and he’s from Raleigh. Another reason is he just seems like a good guy to hang out around.

I’m also a Tiger fan, and I was thrilled when I saw he was -2 through four holes and pretty much stayed either there or one under and finished with 68. If he gets on track, I think we’ll see his name on another trophy come Sunday evening.

Really solid start from Bryson.

 

Wait...did he just like lean on his driver to pick up his tee and snap the head off of the shaft?

I really, REALLY can't stand Tiger's penchant for following up big birdies with momentum killing bogeys.

I wish he would just hit 3W stingers down the middle. So tired of him having a shitty lie for his approach.

He’s from Dallas, TX.

So who are you taking about?

That seemed like a very strange decision for DeChambeau to just timidly punch that ball out.

Maybe it was someone else I was told who was from Raleigh. Well, either way, I still like the guy.

Brendon T just hit a drive at a 151 mph ball speed. How the hell does he compete on tour let alone win?

... how do you break a driver, and did that count as being broken in the course of play or is it like when AK was bouncing it on a sprinkler head?

The shaft just failed when he was picking up a tee, so that’s fine he can replace it.

Pretty funny post round interview when BD immediately praised the shaft brand for being able to replace it and perform on the spot...lol. I mean...it just snapped.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
