Unless you are talking about an outlier St Andrews Old Course double hole complex like 1 & 18, that doesn't make sense. 

Do you have any other examples?

I dont write them all down. Lots where they play from another fairway. Today was a good day at the  Memorial. Lead ended at  -6. Even Rahm has a  chance now. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

This almost never happens.

I know… because I'd see it in the ShotLink data. Sorry, bud.

But a higher percentage of players broke par today (43%) vs yesterday (33%) and yesterday was a boring birdie fest according to you.

What made today "a good day" in your opinion? Provide facts.

So which one is it? A boring birdie fest or a good tournament?

Rory was using a Smart Ball to keep the club/arms in front of him more in the backswing, 

Expand  

Really?? I've always thought that his keeping his arms in front of him has been a major key of his swing and he just knew how to do it

As @iacasmentioned that it is also an outlier. But still, what's that gotta do with course set up? How does growing rough to five inches prevent that from happening?? Should they grow taller trees next?

I’m pulling for Rory but he’s struggling to hit greens.

Gotta love it when someone makes a broad statement, gets asked for some specific examples, and comes up empty.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

It was a  good  day  because the  lead  didnt get above  -6,  Very  glad Hovland won. It  is so aggravating to see a one week wonder that  cant  miss anything  win. -7 is a good winning score. Jack should design all courses.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

Just stop dude. It's embarrassing.

How is someone who is top 50 in the season long standings, has 5 top 10s this season considered a one week wonder??

Nope, I should. I'll make tougher courses than Jack!!! Zero birdies all week on my courses now that's a promise!

      It feels like Rory blew his load on the 18th at Augusta. Maybe everyone is underestimating how much that took out of him. Watching McGinley whaling in 'Roaddie' for not stopping by to talk to the press was bit of drag. The dude has given so many interviews and so much of himself over the years, he outghta be able to play with house money sometimes. Jeez, leave him the fak alone.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Some positives playing in league tonight.  1st) Making the backswing a more lateral shift, and feeling the left leg and torso resist the turn at the top of the swing is helping out a lot. I got to feel an uncomfortable amount of pause in the backswing to set up the downswing.  2) I need to do a bit of more arm stuff better. Still too much draw or pull draws for my liking.  3) Short game is getting sharp. Many tap-ins tonight. I am trying to make the shortest backswing possible for the shot. It really forces me to stay aggressive with the pivot.

      Day 43 (12 Jun 25) - Return of the net in the backyard as I set it back up in anticipation of some work with the R10 in coming days.  Used it to hit a few iron shots into the net with the 7i before wrapping up the session with the wedges.

      Shame to see Rory crash on the back nine. Nice to Spieth play well. Looking forward to seeing Brooks collapse…😂

      Day 255 - 2025-06-12 Played 18 holes. Started to over-do the crap out of my thing for holes 9-15 a bit, then refreshed it and finished out really well.
