Well, this week is the Player's Championship as most of you know. And I know there have been many great memories over the years from this tournament. I only remember watching since 1997, so I won't know as many as some of you all. But I do have my favorites for sure.

I think my favorite year was definitely 1998. Lee Janzen was leading pretty solidly going into the final round I believe, and Justin Leonard came in 5 shots back entering the final day. He made that up and then some and ended up winning! I just thought the final day was great seeing him make so many long putts and come back and shoot a hell of a score on a tough golf course.

And there have been some big names win this one lately. Tiger has won it, along with Davis Love, and then Adam Scott last year.

I was just wondering what some of the best memories of this great tournament were to everyone else here.

Tiger's massive, double-breaking putt is one of my favorites. David Love III's shot to a par-5 from the trees (he made the eagle putt, IIRC). Those are my two.

I'd have to say Freddy knocking his tee shot in the lake on 17, and then knocking his penalty shot in the hole for a 3. (Mulligan hole in one)

the time when i got hit by curtis strange on 16 was pretty cool.
the best is when ian poulter marked his ball, then accidently threw it in the lake. then his trainer had to jump in to find it so he wouldn't get penalized.
my new favorite is tway taking the 12 on 17.

My most favorite memory was when Freddie Couples was 2 back of leader going into the 16th hole. his second shot on the par 5 almost went into the water then kicked opposit direction of where the ball was headed landing just off the fringe. putts to make eagle and the crowd just goes crazy. noise heard all over the golf course. leaders who heard the noise was worried and choked making bogies after hearing the noise.....it was monty and someone else who were the leaders. next hole, the island green for freddie, lands safely about 20 ft away.....makes the putt for birdie....crowd goes just bizerk. end of story. just one of the best finish of all time.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
