Are you all forgetting that the cut after ONE round would have been +8? +16 may make the cut this year. C'mon now... I realize you can't just multiply the first-round cut by two, but +12 has a 90% chance of making it.

Nope, no way +12 will make it. I don't think that many players will fall out of the top 60, but that's just my opinion.

And I said "probably." I didn't say it was for sure. I say +12 has a 10% chance of making the cut, not 90%. And besides, it's not like Tiger really deserves to make the cut anyway after how he played. And I'm sure Mr. Woods would agree with that last statement himself. Edit: Just to follow-up on what I said, there are already nearly 30 golfers in the clubhouse at +11 or better. And there are still another 10 on the last few holes about to finish at +11 or better. So we are looking at 40 golfers approximately that will be finished at +11 or better going into the afternoon rounds. It's highly unlikely +12 will make it, unless there is a total collapse by everyone this afternoon (which is possible of course). By the way, nice 71 CH3! If you wouldn't have shot a 41 on the first nine yesterday, you might be in contention.

When asked afterwards Woods said "I wasn't ready to play golf, I need practice"

So I think you're right in saying he doesn't deserve to make the cut.

The average score for today is playing almost 1 less then yesterday. So that will hurt Tiger if the trend continues. But iacas you could be right that +12 might be ok.

As of nearly 3pm, I don't think it'll happen. Looks like Tiger will miss his first cut in a major as a pro.

I will be in Mexico during the Open...I'll find a sports bar to watch the final day. I am looking at the Reno Hilton odds sheet and was planning on betting on a few but I was thinking of taking one dark horse because of the odds. Olgivy...60/1? waht do ya think?

Saw the final round in Mexico...I have come close to picking the right guy before...but never have picked the winner. $600!!!!! Sweet! (that will never happen again I can asure you!)

To bad I only bet $10 on him!

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By StuM ·

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By StuM ·

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
