What are your predictions for this weeks tournament?

Davis is due for another long drought now, isn't he?

I don't really see any reason Lucas Glover can't repeat. He started the season really strong before struggling under the Ryder Cup pressure. Now it's time to get back to the top-10 consistency of the early season. I'm picking Glover for the repeat.

And as always, I'll be cheering on all the young guns. Pretty much all of them are in the field this week. Go Chucky!

Justin Rose is now -10 through 12 holes! Something special might be in the works right now. He has a par five coming up too. Maybe he will make me look good. I said he could move into the top 30 by season's end.

It's still really early in the tournament, but CHIII is tied for second! That's enough to make my Friday go by faster.....as long as he keeps playing well in his second round.

It looks I'll be watching quite a bit of the Funai Classic this weekend.

You said it, though, Cody: it's still early. Chucky ThreeBalls (he was using that for awhile, no?

) still has time to gag. Heh heh heh.

I THINK

really? DO YOU? what gives you that idea

he better keeps that up to win, everybody and their brother are going low at Mickey's place. he's only 3 clear of 2nd after 5 holes in second round, needs to throw in a few more birdies before this one is over.

After the turn towards the back nine (and with CH3 clearly not in the mix for the win), I was actually hoping Justin Rose would win pull it out. He just had no confidence with the putter over the weekend though. He played like a champ the first two days and a chump the last two days. To his credit, he didn't completely fall apart. He hung in there and finished in fourth at least.

It would have been nice to see Troy Matteson win two in a row as well. He has come out of nowhere lately, and who knows, he may be the next young American to step it up! The opening definitely hasn't been filled yet. :/

In the end, I wasn't thrilled to see Joe Durant win, but good for him. He is a ball-striking son of a gun, and he finally got the putter to work for four days.

Zzzzzzzzzzz... huh? what? It's Monday already? Sorry, I fell asleep watching some golf tournament Mickey Mouse put on yesterday afternoon.

I dunno, I thought it was sorta cool watching a relatively short hitter like Joe Durant win on a course that measures 7516 yards.

I could deff relate to his distances left into some of the greens.

I guess my life is more boring that Im allowing myself to admit lol

It was a cool tournament to watch on an otherwise boring weekend of sports. There weren't any college football games that caught a lot of my attention on Saturday afternoon, and I could pretty much care less about the NFL. So it was definitely a fun event to watch.

I wish a few of the other chasers would have put up more of a fight late in the round. The actual event was much closer than the final scores indicate. Joe Durant got hot down the stretch and pulled away.

yeah it was good seeing guys who hadnt won in a while come thro 2 weeks in a row.

i was wondering if both he and love would break, but they both held strong.

Agreed wasnt the best even of the year by far, but still some good solid play and drama to be had.

I played those courses last year and theyre pretty nice, for "resort" courses atleast.

That layup area on 13 (par 5) is really narrow and quite harrowing...doesnt really show that on TV.

Loves double on 18 was hard to watch.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!

      Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉

      Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.
