I gotta admit I enjoyed watching Bryson today. Watching him swing that driver is amazing.

Word. That swing for the 370 yard drive on #6 was awe-inspiring 🤯

When Arnie was alive, yes.  Just like the Byron Nelson Tournament. Fields are not what they were when the hosts were there. Sad, yes. True, yes. You imply that 8 of the U.S. top 10 are

Just turned on Round 1 and V. Hoveland was putting, using Aimpoint on a short putt on #16.  Distance @ 4 feet.  The commentators decided to briefly discuss AimPoint and one of them, not sure which one

Me too, he looked like he was having fun and i feel they golf better when having fun.  And it was a much better look on him than the 3 minutes over a short putt.  I may be turning into a Bryson fan.

This would be my guess, too.

I saw that and also was surprised at the announcer's comments. It's not like Aimpoint is a new thing or all that difficult a concept to "get". I also thought a 4 foot putt was maybe a bit short for Aimpoint but I noted that all he did was "feel" the slope with his feet - he didn't apply a finger that I saw.

I was disappointed in Horschel slamming his driver into the ground on the tee a couple of times. I forget which hole it was but, really? He threw his ball into the water on 18 - like it was the ball's fault he couldn't putt.  Seems like he could have found a kid in the gallery to give it to...

In tennis, a player is penalised for damaging equipment or temper tantrums.  So should the golfer for damaging the teeing area or green through temper.

A couple of weeks ago Lashley slammed his putter onto the green as he was walking off. The commentator remarked that he didn't even repair the mark.

I'm not sure what it is about Rory, but I always seem to root against him? Maybe because they fawn over him too much. I root for Speith to win but he just can't get over the hill, so to speak.

Ever since McIlroy shoved a kid in the face as the lad was after an autograph.  He didn't even look down.  The game is bigger than any player.

That third round was some of the best golf I've seen on TV for some time.  Playing on slick greens some of the long putts were amazing. Lovely to see Jordan come alive again.  Even my wife stayed up to the end.

It only takes a couple of “mashed potatoes!!” for me to think I preferred the golf without fans. Muppets. Any one who shouts that or “get in da hole” should be whipped with an upside down driver- wielded by BDC. 
I’m enjoying the finale though. Bay Hill is a super layout.

Yeah that’s not quite what happened.

Tough conditions out there, -1 is about the best so far for today's round in the top 10.

I was pulling for Westwood but it was not to be. He did hold together like a true pro, though. Congrats to Bryson - proof that you can hit it like dog poop as long as it goes a mile and you can blast the next shot out of the rough! And, I will freely admit that he has sped up his putting routine. Good job.

And, yeah. The fans. I wonder what the attendance would be like if there were no alcohol served?

Yeah I was rooting for Westwood too, brilliant display for a 47 y/o. I’m 71 and can hit 240metres but not on the short grass more than 1 in 3, but still not 100% after long illness. Hoping I will get better results when my swing is more consistent, and my eyes are really bad. Hmmm closer to the nackers yard lol

If you're slapping it 240m I'd say you're doing pretty darn good.

      Water in Bunker

      By klineka ·

      No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.

      It's not dumb. It's dumb to randomly allow a free drop that provides an advantage you don't deserve. And your committee had the option of determining it GUR. Did you talk to them?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.
