With Tiger out and Phil laying an egg last week who do you think is going to pull it out this week. I know he is not a long hitter but I sure would like to see Fred Couples pull one out this week.

Look for Tommy Gainey to build on his remarkable 2008 season-ending 2d place Ginns nose out by Davis Love by starting 2009 with a big finish at Toerry Pines.

Just kidding - but, he IS in the field.

Not sure who to bank on this week due to Phil's issues last week, but it is a long hitters course where putting is not as big a deal as some courses. Look for someone like Camillo to do well. Scott Piercy from last week might be worth watching if he can hit the ball like the did at the FBR.

Ryuji Imada. He won B-flight here last year, and with the entire A-Flight from last year's tournament (Tiger Woods) absent this year, I think he can do well. Win #2 for Ryuji Imada.

After last week's nuclear melt-down, I think JB Holmes is going to have something to prove.

But boy howdy, I'd like to see Freddy playing late Sunday afternoon!

I don't know if he will be in the field, but I think the guy that really showed alot last time around Toerry Pines was Rocko Medeate, and I wouldn't count him out. Then one other player I always think has a chance any time he tee's it up is Anthony Kim. And without a doubt Freddie lifting the trophy would be great to see.

Well I guess I should check the field Before I post as two of my picks aren't playing. So I'd go with Padraig Harrington, to take up right where he left off last season in the Fed Ex Cup, but still Fred........

Just follow Mickelson instead - you probably will see some creative shotmaking

, at least for 2 days, if he cant step it up from last week. BTW - its a pretty weak field, just 3 players from the Top20 Rankings (Mickelson, Harrington, Villegas). Where are all the other guys?

      REESO VTX Putter

      By SteelHen ·

      Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.

      How To Properly Repair Ball Marks

      By WillieT ·

      Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….

      REESO VTX Putter

      By discap ·

      The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.

      REESO VTX Putter

      By SteelHen ·

      This is a long shot given how old this thread is, but I just picked up a Reeso VTX putter and I'm trying to adjust the lie, but it's not obvious how to do that. Aside from unscrewing the hosel from the putter head everything else looks fused together. Wondering if @PRWELLMAN @Yipper @discap have any info about adjusting the lie. Thanks for the help.
