Oh, sorry mate I assumed it would work for everyone.

You could try searching on photobucket maybe?

What did he get for his hole in one?..a Magnum of champagne?

Nothing. No promotion on the hole.

EDIT: My bad. He got a bottle of Champagne. The announcers said there was no prize for the hole.

...or Americans.

I had it on my DVR, but I deleted it. Also, no way to get it to the computer. EDIT: P.S. It was actually one of the least impressive aces I've seen. It was a good shot and all, it just didn't do anything "exciting" - it wasn't "jarred", it didn't hang on the lip, it didn't change directions unexpectedly. It just landed a little ways from the hole, and rolled in at putt speed.

Jeez you would be annoyed. There seems to be a car or a million dollars on every par 3 these days. Oh well an ace is an ace.

Maybe, but I doubt a guy who got to the tournament in his own Gulfstream V is too concerned about not winning a brand new Nissan.

True, I just saw it on Sports Tonight, it looked alright. He didn't even get that excited.

Its because they can get so many of them, its not a big deal to them. Look how fast he fixes that divot, what a champ.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
