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!

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
