Im going to watch the par 3 if i have time..im hoping for a 19 this year...that would be sweet if someone broke 20

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Who tends to win these? Great ball strikers or great putters? My guess would be that a great ball striker that's a good putter might be the best combination. Who's at the top of the GIR rankings?

I think many of the holes are crazy short... so I would say whoever gets hot with the wedges and putter probably has the best shot.

It is with much sadness that I report that I have a meeting at 1:15. As I'm in CA, this is smack dab in the middle of the par-3 contest. Therefore, I will use TiVo and will come back to TST this evening after I've watched it.

I'm kind of bummed. Word must have got out about the stream - because it was perfectly smooth this morning and now it's quite choppy

Oh well, better than nothing. It's so cool to see Arnie, Jack and Gary playing together... and neat to see the kids caddying. What a beautiful place!

I'm kind of bummed. Word must have got out about the stream - because it was perfectly smooth this morning and now it's quite choppy

When things started to get choppy I started to wonder if it was on my end or theirs. Looks like you answered my question. Streaming coverage was pretty good right around until they started coverage of it on ESPN then the quality started to deteriorate.

I was amazed that Palmer stuck it so close (22 inches) on the first hole, and then Nicklaus went and stuck it close on the second.

In my bag:

Driver: Burner TP 8.5*
Fairway metals/woods: Burner TP 13* Tour Spoon, and Burner TP 17.5*
Irons: RAC MB TP Wedges: RAC TPPutter: Spider Ball: (varies ) (Most of the time): TP Red or HX Tour/56---------------------------------------------------

I just saw the Golf Channel clip of Palmer, Player, and Nicklaus all sticking the ball next to the pin on the final hole. Pretty good for guys their age.

If I'm not mistaken I saw Kelly Tillman in her caddy uniform chunk one in the lake.

I rather enjoyed watching. Unfortunately, the TiVo ran out - I taped the 2-hours it was supposed to be and the half-hour wrap up after it and I still didn't see the whole thing!

Hopefully, next year they'll figure out how many hours it'll be. Regardless, I can say with certainty that this was the best Masters par-3 contest I've watched on TV thus far.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
