Rory all the way! Phil has some kind of mental block that keeps him from finishing a tournament the way he starts. If he would settle down a bit and play golf instead of worrying about how far he hits his clubs, then he would probably win some tournaments.

Rory, no question. Every time Phil tees it up, it is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Well, it usually starts as a train wreck, and it used to end with an awesome shot of some kind, recently, it hasn't

I hate to say it, but you wonder if Phil has much left in the tank.He's 40 years of age now, has that troublesome arthritis and with his family's ongoing health problems, is it all taking it's toll?I hope not, but his form has been patchy for his entire career and that's certainly not going to improve now.That said, I woudn't be surprised if he wins the Masters again next year.
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.

I said it before and I'll say it again if you can bet Rory each way in every tournament do it. I have been and I'm way ahead. basically your $200 bet gets split and you have 100 on him to win at say 28:1 and you have a $100 on him to come in top 5 at 14:1 or whatever the odds are.
Thanks for the reminder too. I just went and put some money down on the rorster quick. and a few others in case he decides not to show up. I think he may take this one down though.

Rory over phil any day for now on... Take away both their victories this season

(Take away Phil's Masters Win)
(Take away RORS QH win)

Rory much better season as he was pretty close at the British and PGA... good showing at the masters and some high finishes in other tourneys.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
