It could be July?  August?  May?  September?    I just picked June for an example 

He was responding to your question which specifically asked about June. You didn’t explain that you were suggesting any month…you specified June…which was why he responded the way he did.

Justin Leonard: ‘ When it was windy I’d try to shorten my putting stroke. I had a rather long and slow stroke and that can give the wind more time to mess with the putter face so I’d shorten it some and make it quicker.’

I’m calling bollocks. These kind of comments by commentators are just pure clubhouse talk. I don’t believe there’s any science or truth to this. The wind could blow his putter face offline during a stroke? Come on. Rubbish!

So how would you guys play 17 right now? Just curious. @iacas?

I was trying to see how many of these I could fill in from the top of my head.  I got stuck 'cause I couldn't remember how the PGA championship and tour championship were rescheduled.

And hurricane season runs from June through November.

I heard that about the wind and filed it in my mental "just missed a 2-footer" file.

How to play it, 2 extra clubs so maybe a 5 iron,, target dead center of green (i.e. where I think my center of shot pattern will be). Based on what I think is the wind direction, alignment about 5 paces right for the wind.  LOL, right!

With a knock down 7 iron and a dozen Pinnacles.

I get the wind and visual uncertainty but what's with the swings where the ball is landing like 15 yards offline in the water?

It's just weird to see these guys make swings that seems like they have lost all knowledge of a simple golf swing.

The wind can move the putter face a little bit. But it's not enough I'd shorten up or anything. I might grip it a bit more firmly or something.

I could see some truth to this.

The Masters is in April, and the weather in FL is usually quite fine in March. It just isn't this year.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
