This is the place for your thoughts on the AT&T.;

Looks like David Duval might have his annual top 10 here this year -- he's six under through 14 and tied for the lead. Or might he fade away quietly after a good first round for the second straight week?

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

I heard on the broadcast today that Kenny G is a scratch golfer. Kind of hard to believe from what I saw. Nice swing an all but I saw several wayward shots and his short game from around the greens looked weak. But playing on tv might have something to do with it too.

Do you know how difficult PGA tour courses are? The

average tour player has a +5 handicap. The rough is much higher, the courses are much longer, and the greens are firm and very fast. These guys are the best on the planet, bar none. Even scratch golfers look like hackers compared to them. Then couple that with the fact you're on TV, in front of an audience, and under a huge amount of pressure. Tour players are flat out phenomenal.

Yeah, I know how tough PGA courses are. I've been around the block a time or two. Why the preaching?

Perhaps because not everyone really understands the difference between a score on their home track and how they would fare on a tournament course . That would not be you '76, clearly.

I'm reminded of a comment someone made in another thread about how a low handicap amateur might be competitive with JD in a tournament, given his current form. Let's face the facts, those guys are playing in a different golfing universe - they didn't devote much of their waking life to the great game of goff for nuth'n.

Kenny G. just sank a long one on 18 (replay on TGC) ..... nice. Gotta love the expression on his face. Priceless.

These courses are all under 7000 yards AND the players aren't playing the same tees as the pros, so you can imagine they're at about 6500 yards for them or so.

And I doubt Kenny G is terribly nervous about being on TV. Simple fact is a lot of these guys have vanity handicaps. I'd play Kenny G straight up. If I lose he can play a song for me. That'd be punishment enough.

LOL. I'm thinking you might blow a few short putts (on the high side, naturally ) just to avoid the agony of victory in that particular case.........

Good point about the yardages for the amateurs. At any rate that guy G. is a pleasure to watch. He's got 'bottle', as we say in the old country. Makes you wonder how firm one's own knees would be on the 18th tee, from any tee.

When I try to imagine myself on the 13th at Torrey standing in the tournament box, well ..... it isn't a pretty thought.

hahhaaa, that's good!

But how about JB Holmes! What a crazy finish. Eagle, birdie. I knew that putt on his last was going to fall. I could see it in the way he was studying the putt. I think Frank Nobilo knew it too. He pointed out in his commentary about the extra attention to detail JB was making on the putt. I've yet to play Pebble Beach, or any of the Monterey Peninsula courses. Look freakin' sweet!

Yeah, he's a consummate musician, even if his taste is a little lacking. He does hold the world record for circular breathing too, somewhere near 45 minutes. That's no easy feat.

since we are on this line of thought...I have always wondered how hndcps and indexs relate to different courses....for instance I'm and 8...i play 6500 yard courses usually rated 69 or 70 with slopes around 120...If I shoot an 78at home then I play a tour course with a 74 rating and a 135 slope w/ stimp greens @ 12...along with a pro with a +5 what the hell should we expect as a result and is 13 shots fair? I'm thinkin I would get my ass kicked but I'm interested in the how tranferable indexs or hndcps are btw our home tracks and a tour course?

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
