Love that Augusta National has put the final rounds online. Sated my tournament prep with the 95 final round. Some things that pop out.

The player’s sponsors , Hogan, Tommy Armour, Lynx, Maxfli, Ashworth, Buick, GTE.

Davis Love III using a persimmon driver had a 9 iron from 165 on 15 and a 105 sand wedge in 17. Norman on 15 had a 180 yard 7 iron. Ben Wright described it as “hopeful “ . They both made 4 on 15 to tie Crenshaw at the top.

Yes it has. 
I've really enjoyed it over the years. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Greatgolfer, not great winner. His agents created the world rankings to overcome his choking dog sundays. Even when he shot the low round of the day on Sunday in the Open he choked away the playoff. Two shots up with one to play he didn't even complete the final hole. I won't even mention 1996

. Back to the actual post, really enjoyed watching the 75 final round. When the broadcast picked up, 9 of the top ten were major champions. The other guy was some fellow named Tom Watson who I believe won the Masters twice as well as a few other major championships.

No.

The initiative for the creation of the Official World Golf Ranking came from the Championship Committee of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which found in the 1980s that its system of issuing invitations to The Open Championship on a tour by tour basis was omitting an increasing number of top players because more of them were dividing their time between tours, and from preeminent sports agent Mark McCormack, who was the first chairman of the International Advisory Committee which oversees the rankings. The system used to calculate the rankings was developed from McCormack's World Golf Rankings, which were published in his World of Professional Golf Annual from 1968 to 1985, although these were purely unofficial and not used for any wider purpose (such as inviting players to major tournaments).

Norman choked a few times, but he was also a prolific winner and a fairly consistent top five or even three golfer. More often his losses were a result of some bad luck.

    • He wasn't a bad guy. And he was just trying to get out there and get some fresh air and exercise. He ended up liking the new cane a lot, because in addition to not making pock marks on the greens, it also stood up by itself. He didn't have to hand it to somebody to hold while he hit his shot. Or lean it against the cart. It would just stand up by itself. ... Kind of like those stand up putters. ... 🤣
    • Sounds like you guys came up with a great solution.
