If I had to carry those bags, I’d wear shorts in winter. I’d sweat buckets otherwise.

Ok sure, some people run hot, but you know there's times those guys are just trying to be tough when it's an early tee time with 46° with 25 mph winds at the British Open

Oompa loompa doompety doo

If you like golf here's something for you

Oompa loompa doompety dee

Golf is hard so listen to me.

What do you get when you slice off the tee?

A taste of a life that you didn't foresee.

How do you swing so the ball will go straight?

Maybe you should try to shift. Your. Weight?

I don't like the looks of this.

 

Oompa loompa doompety da

If you swing fast then the ball will go far.

You would live in happiness too.

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do!

Nice write-up on the strength of the PGA Tour:

GettyImages-1473066406-scaled-e167867659

Scheffler ran away with The Players Championship on Sunday, vaulting himself back to No. 1 in the world.

Good point: "Worth considering, it might be wise for those players complaining about the tour siphoning off the lower parts of its totem pole to at least pick up the pace. And perhaps some premier players could hurry the hell up, too. When play was suspended at 4:47 p.m. Friday, 71 players remained on the golf course despite there being no prior delays. As noted by AP golf writer Doug Ferguson, in events played on a single course, the tour has not completed the second round of a tournament on a Friday since Nov. 4 in the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba."

Hmm.. let's see. Mike Weir is on the Champions Tour. Paddy H. too while we are talking about it. JV has been playing, just not making it to the weekend too often. I think he did at the Honda Classic. Hunter is semi retired I think, heard him on NLU podcast. Don't know about OS. I guess I could look each one up but don't care to enough. 

You could have thrown Sean O'Hair on your list.

Well, two of your four are pretty darn old… and the other two, just aren't terribly good at golf right now.

Yep. Oklahoma State guy! Hunter went to the Korn Ferry for a bit…then came back..think he lost his card again. Mike Weir is soon to go to the Champions isn’t he?

That's what I thought. I remember the name from an NLU podcast from their Callaway days talking about the increased ball speeds from the flash face technology, and they also joked about how good his hair was.

I don't like Sam Burns because his patchy beard with nothing on his upper lip makes him look like Teen Wolf

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
