As I type this, J.P. Hayes is 7 under, bogey free, through 13 holes. Heath Slocum is one shot behind and one hole ahead of him. And the action heats up, as it seems Jeff Klauk is now also one behind. All three are fun players to watch with interesting tidbits about them, although they aren't as popular as many of the players in another desert this week.

The weather report lists it as two degrees warmer there than it is here (Los Angeles, about 130 miles away from La Quinta), and I hope the cold* and rainy weather we've had the past few days doesn't adversely affect the tournament.


* : cold relative to Los Angeles' typical weather.

That's a damn shame. When I was a kid in the late 1970s, it was one of the only golf tournaments to watch outside of the majors.

It doesn't seem that poor to me. Still a lot of great numbers being put up. It's definitely worth watching.

Does anybody know where the course assignments for Day 2 are? I wanted to know so I don't pick guys playing Silver Rock.

edit: Nevermind, I just found it.

I am conflicted about watching it. This tournament was built by the love of the game by an entertainer. It has a history of being great entertainment. George Lopez was the right guy to pick up the mantle of host, he LOVES the game and has the perfect temperament and persona for the tourney. Some group of people dumped him recently, (I would love to know the real story), and I think it was a shiesty thing to do.

...just like every other PGA professional on television he has his moments but he also does speak some truth (not on live as you saw yesterday, probably due to time constraints he can't get into topics too in-depth)...but at a 22 handi...yes, you can make this comment

just sayin

Although I'd love to see some bigger names in comp (Phil, Padraig, Stenson, etc), I still like watchin the guppies pummel each other trying to get to the food at the top of the fish tank....every now and then one of the older ones (Elkington) gets a bite like his chip in for birdie...Any golf, no matter who's playin, is better than most of the other crap that's on television

Even if the story of the provisionals hadn't happened, Tiger still wouldn't be playing the Hope this week. I don't think he's

ever played this tournament, and I can't imagine he would have started this year.

Yeah . .except I still have to wade through 5 news stories about the guy who ISN'T playing golf to get to the ones about the guys who are. Sheesh. I guess you really are the #1 player if you still capture 80% of headlines when you're NOT FREAKING PLAYING!!! (in other news, Tiger Woods is still not playing golf).

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By gbogey ·

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

      As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
