Each golfer will accumulate some points no matter what. There is a certain amount of money/points awarded depending on which round they LOSE in, with the exception of the eventual winner, of course.

I'm nervous right now. Darren Clarke blew his big lead and they're on the 17th hole all-square.

Browsing the picks I gotta comment on Rafcin's team. CHIII is playing O'Hearn in the first round, then the winner between them plays Tiger in the second round... Kinda crazy there Rafcin, kinda crazy!

Well, I'm screwed. Darren Clarke just lost in the first round.

Yeah I think that loss hurt quite a few people. I didn't pick Clarke on the ESPN league but I had him going to the final four on the Golfonline bracket.

Yes, I tried to at least space my people out among the brackets. My "cheap" pick in Poulter won, and the more expensive Flesch lost. Tiger and Chad, hopefully, will win. Chad's down 2 through 9 though so it's not looking hot.

Well, the Match Play results have been tabulated. Somehow I've moved up to third... and scored 87%. The only player I had in the final four was Ian Poulter, and he lost two matches.

Wacky freakin' system. I'm now 91.2% overall, or 2757th. Raf and Ben are ahead of me.

I'm saying nothing of my team for this week. I've managed to only get two players to the weekend when bragging of the greatness of my previous teams before the start of play.

I'm happy with my picks for Doral which, of course, means that they'll all miss the cut.

Going against my gut picks, I made a last minute swap last night and switched Esteban Toledo for Kevin Na. Let's hope Kevin comes through... Esteban is -4 after the first round, Kevin at -2.

Checking out the all around leaders, only three of the top ten picked Phil. If Phil keeps up his insane playing I'll be moving up the ladder quite a bit this week.

I didn't. Who'da thunk Adam Scott would MC? A 78 today!!! I'm only -22, one of my worst showings ever. I'm in last in our little group.

I'll be givin' up my third place spot this week!

Not my best tournament. But I narrowly hold onto third... -14 today was a phenomenal score. I thought I had a good thing going with Mickelson playing poorly and Toms doing well on the holes Tiger botched. To score -10 with two eagles? Bah.

I blame Adam Scott.

Adam definitely screwed you last week. That was quite a shock to see him, not only miss the cut, but shoot 6 over the second day...

In anycase, only two tournaments left for the first segment. I'm in 72nd place now. Let's hope I can move up the ladder to number 1!

    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
