I've been pulling for Harrington from the beginning but I'd like to see Norman make history too.

Okay-
Has anyone ever one a major in their 50's? You students of the game's history correct me, but I don't believe anyone ever has. It seems as though I remember Sam Snead played great in his 50's and might have come close a couple of times. Nicklaus wanted to, but he couldn't keep it going.

Any thoughts? Nobody is talking about this angle on the story- I think it's a big deal.

Okay-

No, Norman would beat the oldest by 5 years and its been heavily talked about on GC and TNT.

Looks like I'll miss the finish, I've got a 1pm tee time.

Anybody just see that interview with Phil?

"I need to work on this 'cause we've got some big tournaments coming up".

WTF? What big tournament is coming up Phil? You just hacked up the British Open. What is he thinking?

....What big tournament is coming up Phil?........

He must be thinking of the PGA championship in a couple of weeks.

It's been like that all week, really. The sky is blue, too - you'd think they could pick up the golf ball and follow it.

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

Congrats to Padraig Harrington. The win last year was a great win, but this one was even more impressive. There aren't a lot of golfers with two majors on their resume'. Also, Greg Norman gave the fans a treat this week, and I hope we see him a couple more times this year.

Also, I'd like to give some credit to Robert Karlsson. He was my pick to win this week, and while he didn't win, he is now the only golfer to finish in the top 10 in all the majors this season. His tie for seventh was impressive after barely making the cut.

even though padraig won, i think it would of been better if padraig wouldn't of played and let his wrist mend. who knows what further damage he did to it threatening his future in golf?

Paddy closed the show. That 5W on 17 followed by the eagle was mighty impressive. Great performance.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.

      Yeah, I think I misread that part. I read "in front of" and kinda skipped the rest.
