Ha, I made some last-minute changes to my team to try to maximize the fact that this contest is once again being contested over three different courses (do any Texas, Midwestern, or east-coast tournaments do this???).

Here's my sheet:

[pre] Out
KJ Choi SP 14.4
Clarke, D PH 14.7
Lehman PH 10.7

Possibility 1
Price PB 9.2
Mickelson SP 16.0
Palmer PH 8.7
LoveIII PH 15.1

Possibility 2
Love III PH 15.1
CHIII PB 13.5
Mickelson SP 16.0
Oberhol PH 5.0[/pre]

Obviously I went with 2. I'll take the stronger players on different courses and an underrated guy playing with one of 'em over some so-sos playing on one course.

Entries are locked, boys, it's time to tee off!

I'm hoping I didn't make a wrong move.

Despite DLIII not having starting yet, it doens't look good so far with Phil 4 under after 5. And guess who has Phil... ME! Dude is on fire right now! Dunno what's up with Vijay lately though...

As you can see on ESPN I have Vijay, Phil, Oberholser and Furyk. I was strongly considering Riley, Purdy, Choi or big boy Gutschewski from the Nationwide Tour. Easy to say after they have teed off, but those would have been some stelar picks, so far. I am happy with my team the way it is though. Go team Winner!

Heh, -6 through 8 and CHIII is -3 through 9. I shied away from Vijay - his decline starts now, I figure. I'm at -7 or so, and I think this was another week where it's a good idea to space your players out among the three courses, so I have Love III, CHIII, Mickelson III, and Oberholser III.

Oops, DLIII just started (off of 10 at Poppy Hills) and birdied, so now I'm -8. With 8 holes completely unplayed. You may need -18 to be in the 90th percentile in this tournament!

Davis has 3 birdies in his first 4 holes. Yow!

I wouldn't worry too much about Vijay, he'll drop a 65 at least before this tournament is through, just make sure you've got guys who will carry you until then.

David Duval, aka Sir Shanks-alot seems to have affected his playing partner Fred Couples who's on my team.

We were beat by Rafi, at -19. WTF? Mickelson is on a tear, man, setting or tying two course records within a week! This one by two strokes (not counting lift, clean, and place rounds). YOW!

I only wish my guys could have spread out the birdies a little more, and filled in the two 0s I had. One eagle, 15 birdies, and two pars. If you look at the raw scores for my team, they were 25 under par in the first round. And that's with Oberholser only managing a 71.

These guys are good.

I just realized as I write the round 1 summary that three members of my team are in places 1, T2, T2. And Raf still beat me!

It shows you why it's important to read Golf Digest

I read an article about Hunter Mahan and was impressed with this guy. Figured he's a good "cheap" pickup... and lookie, lookie... tied for 2nd with -7 ! Hope he'll keep the good play, I need to make up some ground to the leaders

My goodness these guys are going low. I'm at -10 already and Phil still has an entire 9 holes left to play. I'll probably be down one golfer for the weekend, though, and that sucks.

Raf... dude, you are the man.

Looks like I'm going to have two miss the cut, Singh and Parnevik. I'm only at -6 under so this tourney was pretty much gone before the get go.

    • 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.
    • Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
