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.

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?

I enjoyed this tournament, nice course and pretty tight leader board to the end.

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.

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
