It would be great for golf if he could make a comeback. He has made some big changes and his swing looks as good as I have ever seen. I wonder if he has the heart or passion to win again.

Yeah it would be great. I saw a show on CBS about a month ago where Duval and his Dad played golf with two special olympic kids. It was a great show. The kid Duval played with was a soft spoken person and he made the comment that at least Duval would not out talk him. David even gave the kid he played with his M-Frames.

I'd love to see him do well, but when was the last time you saw someone come back from a prolonged slump that was as deep as his?

Never. But he's on my fantasy team this week, so go DD!

Wow, and I thought I'm the only dreamer who put him on the list ;)

He showed some signs on the end of the last season and I read an interview with him during the PGA Championship - he said, that he didn't realize before how much did he miss to be "in it". I think big problem last two years was the lack of "willingness to be in it" (is that english???). Even though looking like he was trying to play hard - he was absolutelly not focused on succeeding. I think that's over.

oh boy... Erik, we might have to revise our fantasy picks.
From "some other" messageboard:
" I walked 3 holes with him tuesday at the Buick and he was all over the map. Right and left. On #10 he hits 2 balls off the world right, I mean like 40 yards. Then on 11 he snipes a hook 100 yards left into the canyon and proceeds to say, "have not seen one of those in awhile."

and

"...after watching him hit it poorly in practice on Tuesday, and then reading in the local paper that he only played 5 holes in past two weeks, and then shot a 6 over (on the south course) in yesterday's practice..."
hm... maybe we should give him few more weeks to shake off the rust? ;)

He's cheap. He let me pick a higher-powered #3 player. If he contributes 3 birdies I'll be happy. The thing about players that hit it all over is that they usually score really well on the few holes per round where they find the fairway.

I guess you're not happy

The only problem with it is, that if he doesn't make the cut you're playing with 3 only (or 2) last two rounds... That hurts. I guess I can't make fun of you, since I picked even worse and I'm playing with 3 all 4 rounds !

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through.

      My Swing (billchao)

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
