I'd chunk it into some sagebrush, then flip off some guy wearing one of those beer helmets.

I love crowd at the 16th hole. I totally freak out if there's even 1 person (not in my group) watching me but, I think if I could handle a regular crowd on tour, I could handle the crowd at the 16th. Maybe it's my personality, but if I were good at golf I would *want* people to watch me.

It's just one hole, one tournament per year. A tradition the players don't seem to mind. I wouldn't want to see it every week though.

It is and isn't what you think. There are a few dumb a$$'s but the crowd knows good golf. They booed Ryan Palmer or D.J Trahan (I don't remember) yesterday for hitting it in the bunker and then cheered for him when he hit a great shot out of it. He also invited the group giving him a hard time to try and do it better and he got another big cheer. They even boo the kids carrying the scoring sign if they don't spin it lol. I wouldn't want to see that on every hole, but it is fun for what it is.
It's kind of cool how it goes from football stadium load to dead quiet when they are teeing off.

I noticed today that Poulter still enjoys flipping the crowd the bird. On hole 16, he missed a birdie putt and some of the crowd chanted "USA, USA, USA" which was not a very nice thing to do either. Of course half the crowd on that hole are drunk. At that point, he adjusted his sunglasses with his middle finger and of course that brought on some booing.

I'm sure it's not easy to do, but I would have just waved to the crowd and got the heck out of there. Those kind of gestures(even though he had a right to be perturbed) will only come back to haunt you at another tournament.

Poulter is happy as long as everyone is cheering for him and everything goes right.As soon as it doesn't, it's someone else's fault.

Can anyone tell me why Rickie Fowler laid up on 15?This seems to be happening more and more, can't say I like it.

In a period where the game needs a new fresh face that has no fear, he certainly failed on that hole. Probably cost him a playoff.

If you feel that laying up on a par 5 gives you a better chance at birdie than going for the green, you should do it. However, Rickie would've had no trouble reaching the island from where his drive came to rest, and anything near the green would have given him a better result than how his approach ultimately went. Tough break for the kid, but he'll learn.

Obviously Rickie should have gone for it on the 15th since he has more than enough length to do it. He is only 21 though and he still impressed me more than disappointed me. He already has 2 second place finishes this season, and the field in Phoenix this week is the strongest one on the Tour so far this season. Overall, I am very impressed with this kid.

I heard he averages 6ft from the pin on wedge shots at his layup position, so I am sure he had birdie penciled in as he was over his 3rd shot. If he makes bird there I don't think we are talking about it. It was a calculated risk that didn't work out. It's more exciting to see guys going for it, but I gotta think if I KNOW I will be inside 10 feet for bird verses trying to hit it in two and having a tougher 3rd if I miss that I will lay up.

If I understand the reshuffle, Rickie will be #1 on that list and currently sits about 15 on the money list with his 2011 card secure. So him laying up isn't a fail either.

    • Day 3: about 20 minutes of putting on the practice green. Focused on putts within 10 feet.
    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
