Masters

First tourney of the season, course, and the Jones legacy is the most anticipated Major for me. It kicks off the golf season and gets me motivated to head out and slap the little pill around.

My answer? The next one. I think one tournament at a time.

It's nearly impossible for me to choose. If the Ryder Cup was every year, that would be my choice. It's my favorite event in golf when it comes right down to it.

As for the annual PGA Tour events, I'd say The Players Championship. Even with all the majors, The Players Championship is still my favorite tournament to watch. The field is just as strong as the majors, and the course keeps me more entertained than Augusta National (I'm not saying it's better).

I love all the majors, however, I really enjoy watching the (British) Open Championship, especially when it's at St. Andrews. It seems the most challenging course style for the U.S. players, and I like watching the cream of the crop battling ahead by using their versatility of talent.

I voted for Masters, but I certainly agree with your statement. Being lucky enough to play the St. Andrews courses just a week ago - I know EXACTLY what you're talking about - it's just absolutely different type of golf being played there. I'd not limit it to the Old course only, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and all similar links courses play very alike... It takes not only talent and imagination, but also a lot of intelligence to play well there ( that's why I stunk them up I guess

)

I don't dislike the Old Course at St. Andrews because of the vast history of the place. However, it's not even close to my favorite British Open course. My favorite is Royal Troon, and Carnoustie and Royal Birkdale are up there as well.

I enjoy watching the play at St. Andrews, but it just never seems hard enough compared to the other Open Championship courses. Last year's was better though, with the winning score -12 or something in that area.

I might go to Hell for even questioning the Old Course.

MASTERS -no brainer.

It's always the same course.It's history. It's tradition.

And it will NEVER-NEVER-NEVER be given a sponsor's name. (Could you imagine the Viagra MASTERS ...or the Virginia Slims MASTERS?)

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
