I hope so.

I’m sure many are, but they’re probably contractually obligated to not say so.

Strangely I feel happy for Brooks, as much as I think he’s a phony, douchebag, dial tone. Maybe happy is too positive a word, but I think major championships are more interesting when he’s playing well because of his sort of recent major domination. I believe he made his money grab LIV decision when he was at an injury low point and maybe thought his competitive career was over. I don’t want him to win though, or anyone from LIV.

Nice to see Jason Day in the mix. Kind of forgot he’d been playing well recently.

Rory and Tiger were bummers, had high hopes for both of them.

Rahm was unreal after the 4 putt double on the first. Scotty was also impressive, in spite of not putting well, and Hovland should wear that shirt again but with matching pants.

I’m hoping for some tougher conditions with bad weather predicted, but conflicted about that because bad weather hurts Tiger’s chances of making the cut.

Just got caught up on the rules violation stuff. I take back being excited to see him in the mix. Screw Brooks.

As a break from discussions over proposed restrictions for golf balls, the menu for the Masters Champions dinner just popped onto my feed:   My wife asked if we're invited!  Anyone else

Maybe it helps them. Tiger is a bit of a mudder.

So how was that Brooks thing not enough for a penalty? What explanation did they give that got him out of it? It seems as cut and dry as it can be.

They adamantly denied it. That’s all that’s needed apparently.

Yea, all they need to do is say that he didn't ask what club Brooks hit. I guess with out other evidence, other than the caddie mouthing "Five", they couldn't give him a penalty?

Brooks is a liar and a cheat.

I don't know why, but this reminded me of the dice scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Where Bootstrap Bill is called a liar. 

Yea, Brooks is that.

I hope so. I was thinking colder weather is not great for Tiger's body.

Yep. Since there's no absolute proof to the contrary…

Woodland or his caddie didn't have to ask. If Brooks (his caddie) offered it, it's still "giving" advice, so Brooks is on the hook.

As part of his "defense" Brooks said Gary didn't even know what club Brooks had hit when they were walking off the green, but if his caddie knew back in the fairway… so what? That's not proof of anything.

Jason Day has always been my dark horse (sort of). Always been a favorite of mine. 

I’m also sort of ok with Brooks doing well. I don’t agree with rules decision but I’m generally ok with him. I don’t like his overall mentality but I like the game.

Course looked like it played easy today. Not a lot of wind scheduled tomorrow, just rain. So not sure how much that’ll really effect things. Cold weather for Saturday certainly can.

Hoping for a wonderful Norman-isque collapse for Brooks. Elsewhere, DeChambeau made the course obsolete with his distance at +2. 😃

Tiger was a downer, but I didn’t expect much else. Hovland shooting -7 was fun to watch. He got a bit shaky on the back nine, relying on short game and made a few long putts, so I hope he is able to reign it in a bit.

The weather will certainly spice things up. From a humid 30 C yesterday to 11 C, rain and winds on Saturday. That’s a cold day on the course.

The leaderboard is already packed, with a Koepka and Rahm in form. Very impressive to come back from a four-putt double bogey and shoot -7 by Rahm.

Rahm’s bounce back from the four putt to -7 was impressive. Watching Hovland play was impressive. 
 

Speaking of which, Sam Bennett’s round was tremendous at -4 after 6 and finishing with 12  straight pars! All his drives seemed to be straight as arrows!

Ok I have to ask you this question. Why does Hovland talk to the ball in English? I want to hear some Norwegian swear words when things go awry!

Not up in the LIV stuff; Any chatter about LIV guys getting any bonus money from LIV for Masters Win or top 5 or anything?  Just wondering if they would be paying out any money for guys giving credibility to their league…

On one hand I could see it happening, on the the other, it’s not a league performance so why would they pay out anything

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By yungbuck6 ·

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
