Not trying to completely negate it, but was the tailwind this strong earlier? (Yeah, it’s an “even if …”)

Very true. He hasn’t been too far behind Koepka distance wise although one hole there was a 30 yard difference.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I get being excited, but these fans are crossing the line.  Shouldn't need cops to push people out of the way, just to get to the green.

The last four holes were an absolute snoozefest.

Phil not only is the oldest major champion ever, he's also won a major at an older age than Tiger Woods has ever been (so far)!

Congrats to Phil. Well done. If Koepka  had  just  parred all the  par  5's

That no-6s challenge is for real though.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I  have a feeling he  is  going to have a  natural letdown after this. It was an awesome win but  he  hasnt  been playing well for  awhile.

Same dumb schtick since joining.

    • Reporting back after returning from the range. Ended up hitting a large bucket of balls. First off, I love the irons, definitely hitting them better than the blades I was playing. I ran the drill above a bit and that was helping me out with my swing and staying a bit more consistent. And I easily veered off and tried to put some distance on the balls and quickly started doing everything wrong, chunking the ball, blading the ball, lifting my head etc. I don't yet have any real muscle memory built up yet so I really have to concentrate on so many things before swinging at the ball. Are my arms in the right position, is my grip right, is my stance proper, don't life your head, don't lift your head, don't lift your HEAD! Rotate inward a bit when I swing, etc. etc. etc. Fact of the matter is, I suck and need a lot of practice. What was great today though was it was the first time I've been at this range where they were allowing us to hit off the grass instead of the mats. I feel like hitting off the grass is much better practice than the mats.  When I went and got fitted recently, I came home and about a couple hours after getting home my lower back started hurting. I attributed it to not stretching before the fitting. Next day I could hardly walk. So today at the range, not 100% recovered from before, I did some stretching but now I can feel the pain in my lower back again and it's really bumming me out cause I have a tee time on Thursday which I am very excited about. I also let my poor performance at the range get to me a bit, bumming me out. Didn't really leave the range very happy for these reasons. I'm not sure what the common range balls most places use, I noticed these were some Srixons but I didn't check the model. They just feel and sound terrible, maybe it's just me but I feel like they were a lot more difficult to get feedback from because of the feel and sound. Short chipping in my backyard with better balls, they felt and sounded amazing off the club. I kept checking the marks on my irons where I was hitting the balls and 9 out of 10 were on the toe end. Not drastic, but enough to where I am not hitting the sweet spot. Definitely something I need to work on. I tried multiple things, choking up on the club, holding back farther, standing closer, positioning my club further forward etc. Anything I seemed to try ended the same, hitting toward the toe. Below is a pic of the 7 iron which I had never hit with before today at the range. So all marks on it are from today. Also the distance difference between my 7, 8, 9 and PW was not very drastic.
    • Day 61. Practicing impact technique and wrist position at impact. Video looked like I was able to achieve it at slow speeds. Now to stay patient and work it slow and steady. 
    • Best grip I have played. The upper part is rougher as it is in contact with your glove. Very durable
    • It’s been a while since I’ve seen the word “golf” and the phrase “moment of truth” collide in the same sentence.  
    • I used to have a 21 degree Ping 7 wood, but it spun a lot and tended to come up short if there was any headwind or quartering wind.  Replaced it with a 20* Adams Idea Pro Tour Prototype.  Great hybrid and there are still some out there on eBay for decent prices (I think Langer still bags two of them).
