Don't spoil the ending for me yet, but it struck me as odd the lack of shorts in this year's version... Did someone on the PGA Tour kinda push them not to wear shorts? I'd heard something like that...

I wonder what I'd shoot from the 7000-yard tees at Isleworth...

I wonder why these guys play this "tournament"..it is star ridden.. what is the draw..how much do they get paid to play? do they get WG ranking points? I never understood how this draws top notch players..besides that they belong to one of the respective clubs..I mean are they really fighting for some type of inter-club rivalry..what's it about?

The winning team splits one million, the losers split 500 grand so small potatoes for those guys. There are some decent prizes for longest drive and holes in one, though. Mostly it is a fun time with less pressure playing with friends. It is an inter- country club rivalry and they are playing for bragging rights mostly.

Maybe I'm just spoiled but I just don't see these premiere players playing for "fun" and bragging rights..I can't see Ernie or Retief hooting and hollering about if their club wins the cup..JMHO

Maybe you should watch then. PGA Tour players are still golf fanatics. They're just really good at it. Why should they be any less inclined to enjoy a little friendly competition than, say, you or me?

I agree, these guys love golf. I would imagine it is nice for them to play more friendly matches with less pressure. The tour guys I know and have played with come home and seem to enjoy teeing it up at the local muni and playing with club pros and a couple of amateurs.

I'd bet there are probably some pretty decent side bets going on that don't get covered in the news. I'd say it must mean alot for these guys to be there playing, otherwise would tiger not be out with his ailing father instead of a simple club rivalry?

It was good to see CH3 shoot a 68 yesterday. He has to be one of the best "non-stress" golfers on the PGA Tour. However, when you add a little stress, he falls apart. Hopefully the 68 will carry into The Masters. If he doesn't get something going pretty quickly, he will be in danger of losing a lot of exempt status. He is like 115th in money right now.

He's talented but thats about it. He's a hard worker but dosen't work on the right things. I think he should get a mental coach and work on some things like Ernie.

      Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      Physics

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.
