I hate to ride the Tiger bandwagon... but look at the things going for him... Defending champion... won at Bethpage in 2002, driving the ball very well... I'm gonna say Tiger... but he won't finish 9-under... I think he'll shoot anywhere between 278 and 282 and win... with the course playing very long (and waterlogged) that takes most of the shorter hitters out... it will be a war of attriction but in the end (maybe Tuesday)... Tiger will walk away with the silver cup... again a lot of rain...

With this much rain, it seems like that guys like Brian Gay will have to work really hard just to make the cut. Brian Gay will probably only drive 235 yards or so in these conditions. It seems like this week really belongs to the long hitters, like Tiger Woods, because of all this rain. Indeed, it'll be an interesting Open...

With the slop and delays facing the players now, it is clear that the talk of 9-under-par and championship scoring records can be thrown out the window. Anyone who wants to win this tournament will have to be long and able to grind out some strings of pars in the bad conditions. As predictable as it may be, the variables are all working in Tiger's favor. The last two times the Open was plagued with bad weather in the early rounds (here in 2002 and Pebble in 2000), he ran away with the title.

I am not quite sure, but didn't he do terrible in the 03 British Open in the rain. He shot like an 81 right? Or am I totally imagining this?

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

It was 2002 at Muirfield, and the cause of Tiger's bad round was not the rain, but the 50 miles-per-hour gusts that came with it. If the wind doesn't become a factor, Tiger's now the odds-on favorite.

Unless I missed someone, opening day did not see a score better than par on number 7 (525 yards, par 4).

Let's see how Ricky Barnes and the other guys who scored low in the second wave do when the USGA doesn't have to provide a generous setup for the players who had to play two rounds in a monsoon.

#1 it is not monsooning today it is really pretty nice considering.I live 8 minutes from the course and I mowed my lawn today so they have no bitches TODAY.As for the course setup you are not supposed to be able to hit the 15th green from the rough.Even when they play the NY open they can not do it but I am seeing everbody doing it from either side which tells me Mr davis did not do his homework.They will make double digits and next year they will make it way to hard.As far as a certain Mr Woods getting a bad break in the start times may I point out he had a early morning start for another major which I feel is usually the better time but this time it was not so tough it out.

    • The fact that he has a building that has one opening that hits out into a driving range, and the opposite wall has a golf simulator.  The fact that weather will not play a part in my lessons.  Every shot you take using either one is recorded and sent to you by email.  I saw him just over a year ago for the first time, and it has gone downhill ever since.  These weren't great results then, but it was my first lesson.  Hitting a 7 iron then and this is total distance.  Thoughts?
    • I was pondering a repeatable golf swing beings I am a beginner, and a lot of things have presented themselves in bad ways.  I am mainly speaking irons here.  The thing about golf is the ball is still, but the golfer is also standing over the ball.  Are we saying that each time I hit the ball, my spine angle, lead arm, trail arm, wrists, etc. have to be just about exact to have a repeatable golf swing?  This is already a "funky" position to be in, and a "funky" move to make.  The golf swing is more of a body swing (in my mind).  The ball is small and the sweet spot is small.  I just feel defeated in the fact that I need to bend over the ball the same way every time, same knee bend, same swing arc, and hit a small ball with a small sweet spot.  When I watch club fittings on YouTube, these guys are swinging about the same speed within 1 mph or so. Their Trackman numbers are pretty identical even in 10-20 swings.  I am just trying to make sure that this is the main summary of what needs to be done.  As a beginner, how did you all think through the process to make the swing repeatable?  Much appreciated.
    • I kind of figured that might be part of the problem. I’m still guilty of it myself at times and you’re a better ballstriker than I am. I imagine the temptation to go for the flag grows as you get more control over your wedges. Might want to think about shot selection, too. I don’t know how you typically play short game shots but I see a lot of people default to hitting high pitch shots from basically everywhere, to every hole location, without regard for how the green is contoured and how the ball might release depending on where it lands. I know my short game has been steadily improving from expanding my shot selection, overall. Though to be honest, part of that is from necessity because I was really struggling with pitch shots so I started hitting more chips from everywhere, but it taught me a lot more about how to play short game shots in general. NP man. We’re all learning and improving together. It is a really good tool.
