Well, Patrick Cantlay is most hyped for this week, I believe, and he is not disappointing. -8 through 11 holes right now. Always an interesting event with the AM’s joining in. Other big topic is how will Speith do after last week? Off to a reasonable start.

They had something on the Golf Channel last night that Jim Nantz announced from a golf cart from Ken Venturi.   There were three groups of celebrity ams that played.  Alfonso Ribeiro seems to have a good game as does Larry Fitzgerald.   It's easy to get too much of Bill Murray.

I caught a few minutes of a lead-up to the AT&T on the Golf Channel last night.  The gal anchor said Pebble Beach was expensive but she had played it once.  Said she ran out of golf balls and had to buy more at the turn.  There is no turn at Pebble... the 9th and 10th holes are about two miles from the pro shop.  That was a strange statement...

I took Cantlay in my One-n-Done league (nothing brave about taking the top ranked player, I know)

...my heart said Spieth - and I might regret it.

Go Spieth!

I get excited for this tournament every year because I like watching Pebble and its neighbors.  Then they spend too much time showing the celebrities and big wigs stink at golf and interviewing them and I stop watching.

This year should be a nice change of pace. 🙂

Agree. They are following the Spyglass rounds better too.

Sometimes watching them struggles comforts me. I mean, I don’t wish they play badly, but it somehow makes me feel better about my own shots:

I notice this is true of last week as well as today; the cameras seem to have way more trouble picking up the golf balls than in the past.  Perhaps this is Covid related?  Are they running more cameras remotely or using fewer spotters or what?  Very frequently (basically all 3 in the last group just now on 11) they switch to the camera at the landing spot and it’s just kinda panning and not seeing anything.

Anyways - nice to see Jordan playing well for a scone straight week.

Actually, Pebble does have a "turn", in the original sense of the word in fact.  If my history is correct, the original links courses usually had hole 9 at the farthest point on the course, then you "turned" to come back and play the 2nd 9 holes - kinda like Pebble. Over the years, the "turn" has come to mean the point between hole 9 and 10 regardless of where that point was - even though at most courses that's back at the clubhouse.

To your point though, yeah it would be hard to get balls at hole #10 on Pebble, unless maybe there's a snack and equipment shop there.  I do see some kind of structure there on Google Earth...

Come to think of it, when I played there several years ago there was a small snack stand up in the trees to the left of the 10th tee.  Candy bars, chips and life-saving double gin & tonics.  Perhaps they also sold golf balls.

Makes sense to me.  I’ve always assumed this is why the traditional heading on all scorecards for your front nine score column was “out” and your back score was “in.”

I’m certainly enjoying the lack of wasted camera time on ridiculous celebrities. But I don’t understand why we have to watch non-golfers talk. They keep the play going on the side during commercials, who are paying for the time, yet we have to stop play to watch some guest or announcers chat. They wanna run their ball-washers fine, but keep the cameras on the golf.

Nice broadcast this year, only professional swings, beautiful camera shots, and no focus on celebrities. I don't miss them at all. Too bad many of the top names have skipped this event and are playing elsewhere.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
