I thought his speech was rather stupid and unnecessary. Talking about how Tiger disgraced golf won't help make this situation better. The image of him was created by the media, Tiger is human like everyone else. He has far from disgraced the world of golf, he has disgraced himself.

Johnny Miller is an idiot.Like Zeph said, Tiger's a human being.Does he honestly believe golfers are some higher standard of person just because they play this particular game?Wally.

Did they change the MDF rule recently? They finished the third round this morning and then did the third cut, after a larger number missed the cut. I thought the third round had to end on Saturday for MDF to come into play?

Concur. Congrats to Stricker. One of my favorite players over the last couple of years. Not a lot of flash, but whenever I see him, he seems to hit 80% of fairways, greens, and putts. He could be one of the big benefactors to the new groove change.

Anyone who gets ready for a tournament by hitting balls out the back of a heated trailer into a snow covered field is OK in my book!!

Stricker did what he had to do to win today; when you're number three (now two) in the world, people expect that from you. Donald, Holmes, and Johnson all had stellar final rounds, and they could have had a chance to win had Steve left the door open for them. Here's hoping each of those young men can score wins on tour this year.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)

I'd bet he waits until the snow melts then retrieves them.

I went and watched Ernie, Ishikawa and Rolling play their front nine. All the time I had unfortunately.It was a gorgeous day out and the course wasn't very sloppy at all. I for one was actually happy this was scheduled on Super Bowl Sunday. Got right up close and personal with these guys. I was expecting to see more cute Japanese girls following Ishikawa though. And Imada was in the group just in front of him. oh well.

Like Chilli Dipper mentioned earlier in the thread, #8 looks a little odd without the trees. It really opened up the hole though. Rollins caught the bunker in the middle, but Ishikawa and Ernie bombed drives up the left side of the fairway. Both couldn't have had anything more than a PW in. In the past I would rarely see guys going to the left fairway.

I refrained myself and didn't sneak my camera in. It was actually quite nice to watch some play this time instead of having my face buried in a camera and watching for security.

I haven't seen JB Holmes play as much as I did on the last day, but man does he take long to hit a shot. I would go mad playing with him. He takes like 10-15 practice swings, then it looked like the picture was lagging for a bit, since he was just standing there, moving back and forth.

I agree. The little bounce step he does before each shot is hilarious. And setting up, backing off, setting up, backing off...I found myself saying, "hit it already!" several times.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      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.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      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
