Actually I do like him, and root for him! I think that makes me critique his performance more. I'd love to see him win. But...

I have thought about this off and on the past two to three years.  We have the "no sixes" challenge (or, if your handicap is high enough, no sevens challenge).  My best round ever was my only no-sixes

he’s always looked like he’s had the jitters. It’s just his nature. I don’t think he over analyzes either. That honor goes to BD.

Tomorrow's golf should be great.  Louis Collin and Jordan.  I don't see all three of those falling off the pace, so it's probably one of those three.

I forgot the amazing angles afforded by all the cranes. Is my memory bad or is it I just don’t see many cranes at US events?

The split screen that shows the lie is great.

Wow, those UKBO winners since 2000 are an interesting infographic.  My second-least favorite of them is closer to my favorite in terms of how much I like than the least favorite is to the second-least favorite, by quite a bit.

The only crane I remember at a US event offhand involved a controversy with Ernie Els.  I can't quite picture a crane at a US event, even the ones I went to.  I'll keep an eye out in CY 2022 for them when I start attending again 🙂

Wrong word, I meant "infographic"

The Jon Thomson comparison picture reminds me of a picture I saw a few years ago.  It had Arnold Schwarzenegger standing between Andre the Giant and Wilt Chamberlain.  

Anyway, so I hear the scoring average today (so far) is 69.  So that's nice. 

Koepka on an early run.

Yesterday at this time, I was worried Morikawa was going to fall off.

Now he's tied for the lead with 14 holes to go in regulation.

Rahm with two monster shots on the par-5.  561 yard hole, 226 to go for his second, has a short eagle putt coming up.

Koepka posts a number.

TV announcers are saying that Louis hit "way too close" to his ball in the bunker.

Aren't you supposed to hit pretty close to your ball when it's in a bunker?

And it looks like he isn't digging his feet in.  I realize not everyone hits every shot the same, but I thought "dig your feet in" was a universal for greenside bunkers.  I could be way off.

No, you hit 1 or 2 inches behind the ball and not suppose to make contact. Luis hit the ball first which is a mistake.

Irons: 0.5 inch short and 2* Flat Mavrik 5 to AW (AW-105, PW-120, 9-135, 8-145) The lofts for these clubs are about 3* to 5* stronger  than standard.

Wedges: Mizuno MP-R series 52* and 56*. (80, 60)

Nickent: 4DX 2 hybrid 17* and 4 hybrid 23* (185 and 170 carry)

Ah, that makes sense.  Thanks.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
