baker-finch played 4 good rounds in his life. then he struggled to shoot 72 for 9 holes.

I think that's a wee bit unfair - he'd had a very promising career up till his British Open win, with a record of steady progress from minor events through Australian Tour wins and onto the world stage. The expectation was that he'd go on and take over Greg Norman's mantle. It's very sad that the reality was he had less success after his win than Paul Lawrie after his. He had a lovely, smooth swing as I recall and seemed to be very calm under pressure. I wish him well on the Seniors.

I recon he just needs to play consistently this year, maybe a couple of victories on tour and a top 10 in a major. He really needs to steady himself and use this season to sort of put himself among the best in the world. He certainly has the potential he just needs consistant performances.

That would be more than consistent. Who other than Tiger has too many years where they win twice on Tour plus win a Major and finish top 10 in another?

What too often happens to the guys that win a major out of nowhere is they feel like they now have to live up to it. They have to change their game or swing to contend in all the others and prove they are no fluke. Unfortunately they often times end up looking like a fluke because they screw up their game. Not too many guys can get to that level then rebuild what got them there and continue to win. Unless of course they are named Tiger. I don't think he was a fluke at all. He has a great swing and would likely have been one of the names on the short list of players that would contend in and/or win a Major soon.

    • I definitely have a better outlook on BD after watching his YouTube channel and his appearances on Grant Horvath’s channel. He’s an odd character but he loves the game and is considerably more entertaining than Scheffler and many other PGAT players. I do however continue to see Koepka as a total douche.    I’m pulling for Rory but won’t be disappointed if BD wins. It’s just a damn shame he’s with LIV. 
    • Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game. 
    • As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.  
    • day 93. Chipping and practice getting a little more comfortable with longer irons 
    • 89.    Came less than a centimeter short of my first eagle. Had an ugly triple on the last too. But didn't lose a ball. Now in the last 3 rounds I have only lost 1 ball.
