I made it out there today! It was the first golf event I have attended. It was awesome being just feet away from the players and it was a gorgeous day! The wind certainly made number 6 challenging. I didn't see any 2nd shots hold the green, and a couple made it into the gallery.

Both my wife and I were very impressed, and will be back!

I hope Els plays well again tomorrow!

In the bag:
Driver: Rapture V2, 9 degree, stiff shaft
Fairway Woods: X-Hot 3 wood
Hybrid: 3H
Irons: J36 PC 4-PW Project X 6.0 Shafts, FlightedWedges: CG14, 50 54 and 58 degree Putter: Guerin Rife 2 Bar with Winn grip B330S Pro V1x


What got into Ernie's head near the end of today's play? He has a five-shot lead, then goes double bogey-bogey before play is suspended. Now, he has to play the last four holes tomorrow with Na ahead of him knowing exactly what he has to do to make those last two strokes up.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...


It won't be a peaceful night for Ernie ...

Does anyone know how Nick Watney made an 11 (!) on the par-5 sixth hole? That screwed over my Fantasy team a little bit (though I still have Ernie ).

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 think its lucky for Els that play was suspended, because Na was gaining momentum and he was losing it. Tomorrow he can start fresh, and break the 'rythm' he had going into the stoppage. This will probably be a bane for Na, and a boon for Els.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Clearly, he missed the putt for a 10. Was that the hole where Daly made an 18 a few years ago?

Until Tiger shows up, at least.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

 

Glad to see that Ernie is playing so well. He will be playing again this week and let's see if he can make it 3 in a row before the Masters. Don't know if he wants to win this week since the odd of winning 4 tournaments in a row is not that good, lol.

Na....Tiger will be rusty as an old tool. For a while anyway.

You must be a statistician!

In the bag:

White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

lol, not really, I just feel that it is kinda hard to play so well for consecutive weeks. It is a long season and everybody will have a bad week here and there. I am just hoping that Ernie hasn't peaked too early before the Masters.

I know you're making a joke, but there are those who will recite stats like that.

I hate stats like that. They mean absolutely nothing.

I know you're making a joke, but there are those who will recite stats like that.

ok, I apologize. I wasn't trying to focus on stats, I was just worrying that whether Ernie has peaked too early. Stats mean nothing, like you said, I was trying to be funny, but it didn't work. Sorry everybody.

While I dont expect it to happen, i'd like to see Tiger shut people up with a convincing Masters win.

    • Day 7 - Mirror work, trying to hit that PGA-logo position in my follow through. Mirror really helped, need to film soon. 
    • So hit the😝 irons crooked AND play layup golf?? Hahaha.. no thanks. I would rather stay home. 😊
    • First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well. 
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992. 
    • Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
