No he will not (tiger)

A: I don't see how that is in the spirit of "interview the person below you."

Q: If you had one meal left in your life, what would you order and with whom would you share it?

I would say my Dad, because he has taught me very good morals, disciplined me when I needed it, and had just overall taught me well. (Especially being a one-legged man.)

Q?- Since it didn't get answered earlier, will the Texas Rangers make the playoffs this year.

yeah i have and the funny thing is when i hit the shot i dropped the club and got really angry and it somehow got onto the green and went in..... i still get a gard time for that....

A: right now... it is my brand new putter... 2 rounds and 0 three putts so far (knocking on wood). However, when I don't have something new it is usually between my wedges or my driver, both can put me in real nice positions when I'm playing well.

Q: How do you feel about courses that have a lot of holes that require you to use less than driver and allows pretty much everyone to have the same shot into the green... i.e. from the edge of the marsh you just hit 4-iron to?

My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

I don't mind a couple holes like that. Gives the guys a chance to really get it close and have a great shot at birdie. I'm still aiming for the middle of the green for now so it doesn't really apply to me.

Do you mind the US troops using waterboarding as an interrogation technique????

In my Nike SasQuatch Staff Bag:

I do not mind water boarding, but I want some form of official regulation or overview process implemented to strictly govern its use. Probably unrealistic...

I'm a full-time high school student.

I'm guessing Rory McIlroy. He's got the stuff, but it needs to be worked on and ironed out. It'll be real good in 10 years at the most. He'll be winning a lot in 10 years. He's someone to watch. Q: How much money have to spent on golf in the last year?

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 9º
2 Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood
Irons: Nike Slingshot OSS 6-3 iron
          Taylormade Tour Preferred PW-7 iron
Wedges: Cleveland CG14 50º, 54º
              Taylormade RAC 58º
Putter: Ping Darby 32" shaft

A. About $2000

I wish, but this poor college boy don't have the money. I cant even find a job right now.

Q?-What was your first job? Describe it a little bit.

I worked at an airplane parts repair facility. I was working in the storage area. I had to do inventory and counting parts, a little repair here and there. IT WAS THE MOST BORING JOB IN THE WORLD. $8 an hour though. That's not too bad for a 15 year old.

Q: What's your longest drive ever? Retell the scenario. (Cart paths encouraged).

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 9º
2 Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood

    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.

    • Day 251 4-30 Worked on pelvis "going back" slightly in transition. Once i started getting some feel for it, added in wrist arching through. All done slower. 
    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
