Anybody watching the skins game? Looks like tiger still has a few tricks up his sleeve and phil is ready to make a real go at it this weekend. I still say tiger finds a way to win and phil comes in second, i think camillo will be a big contender as well.

I thought tiger looked like he will be respectable and around on the weekend but I would count on him winning. Mickelson on the other hand would be my pick if he plays that way all weekend. He made that 30 seem effortless but both of them have to put it together all 4 days.

Tiger played better than the last couple of tournaments, but Phil just slammed his opponents, winning all 9 skins. I think both of them will be in contention, but Phil may be the better player.

Yes it does, he won his skins game, his driver was better, but not perfect, but I think he woulda shot maybe 32 or 33 through the 9 holes. he looks a lot better.

Agreed, BUT! imo Phil IS the better player at this point, and with the #1 spot as the driving force to a win, he smells blood and will go for the kill! my pick Phil wins and takes over the number one spot

yea and part of that too is that he is working on his own swing now. I heard hank hanney say that he said to Tiger one time "hey try this grip", so Tiger trys it and it feels totally unnatural to him and Tiger says "you want me to hit a ball like this, I cant hit the ball with this grip". Hank tells him to just try it and so he says ok and hits a great shot with that grip. Just because he hit a great shot with it he stuck with that grip even though to him it felt like he couldnt hit the ball with it. Tiger would be able to hit the ball great no matter what so it wasnt the grip. Hank messed around too much.

Tiger's just playing like he has the whole year really, no major surprise there. His swing does not work... May be a result of tournament pressure he puts on himself, he did play somewhat well on the skins game. Still, he does not trust the swing. Can you say two-way miss?

Phil looks very good, as usual not giving away a lot of shots, 0 this first round. Furyk and O'Hair sitting at -4, KJ at -3.

I only watched tiger play maybe 4-5 holes today but his tempo looked MUCH better. What I think is insane though is this is the first time I can remember seeing him hit poor/bad shots while having good tempo. Normally when he swings smooth like that he ALWAYS stripes it.

Tiger making a run early, can see him going really low today

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
