Well, it’s a sad day to see Funky go over to the Seniors. That means we’re all getting up there. He’ll do good, in fact he’s favored to win the Ford Players Championship this week.

I used to put Funky in a lot of my action, but no more. He should dominate the Seniors for a while.

A lot of people putting there $$ on Ryan Moore and Zach J. at the John Deere. I like Billy Mayfair. He’s starting to look at the Seniors also, not much time to win on the tour.

Michelle Wie is -360 to NOT make the cut. I’d go against that just see her make it. Always go opposite of what I pick and you will become a millionaire overnight.

Rousch Racing is strongly looking at Danica. She’s a heck of a driver but needs good equipment and Letterman isn’t giving it to her. It’s the same in Formula 1, “he who has the gold rules”.

Golf is different, you can have all the money in the world, doesn’t help your game. Golf is the best game in the world,…………. it’s just you and ball.

Have you ever had such a bad golf game that on the last hole you told your caddy you’re going to jump in the lake and drown yourself and he comes back with, “you can’t keep you head down long enough”.

I figured ol Fred Funk will still play his fair share of events on the PGA Tour much like Jay Haas has for the past few years. Haas has finally slowed down now and concentrated mostly on the Champions Tour, but he kept his focus on the PGA Tour a few years after his 50th birthday.

Fred Funk still has enough game to contend on the PGA Tour, and we will see him more often than not.

It was weird, however, to see his name on the leaderboard at the U.S. Senior Open. I had to take a second look just to make sure I saw it correctly.

He is a good guy, and I wish him all the best on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. Funk and Jay Haas will rule the roost for a few years.

    • Day 44 (13 Jun 25) - Friday men’s shootout…played so-so.  A couple of lost ball penalties on the front for a pair of dbl bogies (the only of the day) kept the score up - however had some neat recovery shots especially on the back nine to save par on a couple and bogie on another.  All in all - a good day to make the most of course management…and minimize miscues. 
    • Ok…ok. We’ve got some names creeping in there…Ready for some chaos….nice to see Spaun…Hovland a good kid….still waiting for Brooks to crash miserably. 
    • The first bit of 6.3 says teeing area rules apply when: The player is starting play of the hole (see Rule 6.1), The player will play again from the teeing area under a Rule (see Rule 14.6), or The player’s ball is in play in the teeing area after a stroke or after the player has taken relief. So yes, if you take Unplayable Relief in the Teeing Area, you can then move it or tee it up.  Note that for Back on the Line penalty relief, for Unplayable or Penalty Area, the relief area may be any area of the course.  For free relief, you must usually end up in the same area of the course as your ball was previously, That means you can't take relief from a sprinkler head for a ball in the General Area and drop in the Teeing Area.
    • Pulling for Spaun or Hovland
    • Backswing: Finally getting the swing shorter. Right elbow is a tad too bent, but at least it’s not overly bent and behind me. Basically, my previous posts on just feeling more lateral shift right, internal hip rotation. This time I added in a large amount of feeling grip pressure peaking at A2. Just holding that grip pressure constant in transition. It’s added a bit of sensory feedback for where my hands are at and it control the club a bitter more.  Downswing: Making the swing this short has messed up my timing with my downswing stuff. The swing feels like 50% shorter in duration. I got to retrain pausing a bit and my downswing stuff.  On the positive. This is 3-4 range sessions in a row where the swing has been consistently shorter.
