I want Davis to do well, but sometimes it’s like watching “World's Fastest Car Chases” - You’re amazed at what people can do, but you know it is going to end up horribly.

Fairways and Greens.

Looks like he's crashing and burning today. As of 10:01 he's +2 on the second round and falling fast.

I have to admit it was nice to see DL3 torching the course yesterday. However, I agree with you 100% Dave. I was wondering when he would make the big mistake. And it was definitely a BIG one.

What happened on his chip shot on 17 yesterday? I am thinking he just completely went under the ball but it literally looked like a whiff!

I really would like to see Davis put together a good tournament and get a Ryder Cup spot but you're right Dave and Cody, it's like, do we really know he'll do well? I think he will, I hope anyway. Ugh.

It was a whiff. He didn't want to put it on the green because he felt it would bounce and roll into the water.

I really would like to see Davis put together a good tournament and get a Ryder Cup spot but you're right Dave and Cody, it's like, do we really know he'll do well? I think he will, I hope anyway. Ugh.

God no. I hope Davis and Freddie stay far, far away from the Ryder Cup.

I'll give DLIII some credit because he is back to -7 overall and one shot off the lead. He fought back after a tough start. He is definitely putting himself in position to make the Ryder Cup team whether anyone likes it or not.

It's going to be a very interesting weekend of golf for more than one reason.

Another reason Davis is a good Ryder Cup pick is that he is a pretty good match play golfer. He's finished well in the Accenture match play championship every year (finishing 2nd twice).

Sure he blows up from time to time, but in match play you only lose 1 hole rather than 2 or 3 shots.

Davis, maybe. Freddie, no.

Like I said above, I think Davis is a good Ryder Cup pick...if he needs the pick. Let's put it this way, would you rather have Brett Wetterich, John Rollins or Davis?

The way Davis has played this year, I'd rather have someone who has a good chance of being on the team for years to come. Besides, Rollins won't make it and Wetterich will likely get bumped this week (one can hope).

So I'd rather have Stewart Cink, Lucas Glover, Scott Verplank, or even Arron Oberholser over Davis Love III.

Agreed. The only one on that list I might waver on is Verplank, but right now I'd probably take him over Love.

or even Arron Oberholser over Davis Love III.

Nah. I like Oberholser, but I'd rather have Love on the team.

Fairways and Greens.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
