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.

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.

    • This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score
    • Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

    • Things that I am or have worked on... 1.    Trail Elbow - Check 2.    Hip Turn - Check 3.    Rolled Inside - Check 4.    Wide Takeaway - Check 5.    Sway and Tilt - Nope, but I did a hip turn and tilt 🤣 I am giving myself 4.5/5 for my long backswing.  Great post! 
    • We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
