One of the best weeks of the year! 

Rooting for Rory as well, but I'm also bracing for the sad letdown. He's had a great season to this point tho, so maybe this is finally it.

 

Pretty optimal conditions right now. 67F with 10mph wind.

Rose heard your call.

I’d be happy with Viktor or Rory. Preferably not a previous winner, but most important is some excitement and multiple players in contention.

I just realized we’ll be watching Garcia, Reed etc. for decades to come. What fun.

Why if you're just going to wait next? Are they behind? Rounds took over five hours yesterday.

Announcing;  it bugs me when they ask “Are you proud of yourself?”  “Are you proud of the way you played?”  “Are you proud of this or that?”  In what other sport do the announcers-interviewers ask this annoying question?

And then the golfers have to answer… “I was really proud of myself when.. yada yada"

Tyrell Hatton, 16th hole;  Following his reaction to his tee shot, after his first putt I thought his head was going to explode.  He’s kinda entertaining that way, I think he’s the top contender for ‘most likely to explode'

Rich Hunt has as usual (since 2013) predicted the 20 players most likely to win based mostly on data. Here's the state of things after two rounds. "Top 10" means it's his personal predition of the 10 mostlikely to win of those 20. Rose was filtered out based on lack of distance off the tee, but with his 300 average he's just over the tour average and longer than several other players that made the top 20 shortlist (Lowry, Hovland, Cantlay +), so I don't understand how that works. Maybe certain metrics overrule other metrics?

Score Player Starting odds (#/1) Top 10
-7 Bryson DeChambeau 14 V
-6 Corey Conners 65 V
-6 Rory McIlroy 6.5 V
-5 Shane Lowry 40 V

-4 Viktor Hovland 35 V
-3 Patrick Reed 80

    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
    • A bit old.. but this rule is kind of unfair ...  Lets say that you have Emiliano Grillo and Darren Clark playing together on a PGA event and on one hole both hit the ball to the middle of the fairway only 1 inch apart. When they arrive to the ball Darren take his stand and water comes out from the ground and remains there so he procceds take a free drop on a dry area and hit his shot.  Afterwards Grillo takes his stance in the same spot as Clark, but because he is a lot ligther, no water araise from the ground. According to the rules he is not allowed a free drop from the same spot darren had a free drop seconds before. I would love to see this happenning live on TV. Can an argument be made by grillo? could and official use the "spirit of the rule" to let him have a free drop?     
    • Day 84 (24 Jul 25) - Weekly nine hole round cancelled as the course was tied up with a ladies tournament.  No worries - set up with the 54deg wedge and worked on varied shots with green side focus in mine (those nGIR's).  Worked between high floaters and low spinners from varied lies replicating the types of lies I typically see on the courses around here.  
    • I meant lb for lb - so yes I agree it's wheel weight. How would you go about explaining that to someone? Perhaps the rotational inertia being higher with heavier wheels and the rotational inertia of the wheel requiring more torque to make its angular acceleration increase at the same rate? 
    • Day 7: Had a virtual putting lesson with @iacas. Spent some time afterwords working with the metronome.
