Is anyone out of position?

Right, so then no, they could have the same exact policy and nobody would be punished.

As long as the groups are in position and delays are caused by driveable holes and general course design, there is nothing to penalize.

Weather predictions looks like they’ll get fair conditions. Maybe some rain tomorrow, but the wind won’t be much more than today. It’s enough to make a difference, but it won’t blow their socks off (JT would have to put some on first).

I played this morning, and one guy said that if our course looked like th OC, our superintendent would get fired. I really like the natural look of the links courses, and wish there was a bit more brown on American courses.

I do, too, as long as that browning isn't dirt.  At a lot of courses I play, brown turf is likely dirt or bare spots, not what you're seeing at St. Andrew's.

Top of that leaderboard has a couple of names I'd prefer not see on Sunday.

No watering on the fairways. And no desire to pay for it either.Here is Banchory GC in 2017 ( Normal summer conditions), an inland course but sandy soil.

And here it is the next year(drought conditions)

Our caddies on the OC said they want them brown there unlike our American fairways.  I though that was interesting

AGREE - Seems pretty apparent, but there a still the slow play grumblers that won't care.  Once the cut happens, they could space the start times more to align the pace since there isnt really a need to load the course up after that.

 

Tiger.....he's not really limping more than his regular gait.  He looks so much better.  Too bad he's just not playing well this weekend.  I'm still rooting for Rory - but one day doesn't make a tournament.

watching from work.  glad it's streaming.

Got a tee time today at 12:45 eastern time but I'm glad I'm able to watch at least Tiger finish his round even though it's painful to see how he's played yesterday and today.

I'm glad I remembered to turn on the TV this morning when I woke up so I could see Tiger finish.  I wish the same would be true for Sunday.

Rahm in with a birdie on the last... and a round with only one five on the scorecard (and nothing higher).

He did look better. Was also able to crouch rather than bend forward like an old person when looking at putts. Quite far from having a chance at winning though.

With a good amount of courses in Ohio, things start to get brown right now. We are in a drought condition in NE Ohio. Things are getting firm and grass is getting browner.

Rory and DJ in the same group tomorrow would be something. I wonder how much friendly chatter there would be.

They are both old cats of the game and they've got their hands full to worry about all that. Not that they were too chummy prior to LIV anyway.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
