I am so psyched! I am going to the pro am to watch the true greats of our game play. Any advice that you can give me, I've never been to any truly spectacular golf tournament like this. Will I be able to get autographs? What should I bring for them to sign? And what do you think the chances of me getting Tiger's autograph would be? Thanks for any insight or input you might all have....p.s. I will post pictures when I get back!

Bringing a few hats to sign aren't bad. Don't forget to bring your own Sharpie, you don't want to miss out on your autograph just because there was no Sharpie at hand. Who knows with the whole getting more involved with the public thing, you may very well get lucky. Have fun.

Don't get your hopes up unless you plan on going in a wheelchair.

I think we're going to watch on the practice section for awhile and then follow a few. Not sure yet. Have you ever gotten an autograph while at CWC?

Unfortunately, I haven't. It's not that they aren't accessible: I haven't gone since '07, and it was at the '08 Open that I found out you can just go up at the right time and ask for an autograph. I was too nervous at the time. This year, I'll be sure to get one or more!

Have fun buddy, I went to the solheim cup when it was in Indianapolis then the senior event this year here. The coolest thing I think is watching everyone hit their drives and how effortless their swings are. Even the old guys can really put the ball out there and they look like they are barely swinging!!! It really reinforces the fact that solid contact and a smooth swing is the key to being consistent and long.

I am going on Sunday. Pretty excited about it, never been to a pro event.

Do you think I can shoot pics with my DSLR + long lens (70-200mm f/2.8) ? Will the click of my camera shutter disturb the players? Thanks!

Pro events are a lot of fun. Just don't be that guy who yells "you the man" or "get in the hole" on every shot.

I was there today. Usually I smuggle my camera in but decided against it this year. When I do I find that I'm paying more attention on framing a good shot rather than watching how the players go about their business. It was fun to watch them perform this time around!

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
