He never closes off a game.

Hope you don't mind me defending Dustin Johnson. It's not an easy task to close out tournaments. Tiger was the best at it but most others struggle. This year especially was a tough year where a lot of the players went into Sunday with the lead and faltered. Dustin Johnson happened to be in contention more often this year and it was unfortunate that he did not come through in the last round of the majors. I don't know if he really tries to overpower the course, I don't see him swinging out of his shoes like Phil or Bubba who I both like. Not his fault if he's naturally long.

I'll end on a tribute to Padraig:

Even without his comment, I think it's pretty obvious none of us are rooting for the guys we're voting against. Why don't you root for Luke Donald? He seems like a nice guy.

Does he? I wouldn't know since I haven't watch much of him. I think the only time I saw him on TV was when he went on fire at the front 9 of a tournament this year. Luke Donald is my least favorite on the list, could very possibly root for him if he's playing well.

    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
