I don't think that the Tiger-AK-Rocco group is going to get a lot of TV time. They tee off at 12 ET, but coverage doesn't start until 3 ET. Maybe they'll be on pgatour.com?

It's pretty irritating that coverage doesn't start till 3 :-\ Is there any websites that are streaming certain groups or any coverage at all? I already checked channelsurfers.net and realsportz.net.

Imma incur some flamage, but AK's presence in a field does not pique my interest one iota. Ak is the new Sergio - zzzzzzzzzz.

Fowler seems hot right out of the gate. Out in 31 and tied for the lead @ -5.

errrrrrrrr make that in the lead @ -6. He's a birdie machine right now.

That was a super fat shot out of the bunker. Looked like he was trying to bend that shaft hitting the ground like that. At least he's being himself.

The ball hit the lip, but what a par!

Leader in at -8. Tiger is 5 back, not bad. Knocking off the rust might take a round or two. GO TIGER!!

Bah, my two peeps are off to a rough start. Duffy and Jeff Hart both finished at 4over today. Duffy is a member at my club so I always root for him. Jeff Hart dominates the Golden State Tour and is an all-around great guy. I think he just turned 50, played and did well in, last year's US Senior Open. I've played with him four or five times, and I kid you not, I've seen him hit one bad shot. One! He doesn't hit the ball very far but played the South Course today, which is supposedly the shorter of the two? Dunno why he turned in such a poor performance today?

From the highlights, he drove the par 5's terribly. Tiger doesn't par the 5's when he wins. But he parred them today.

He is playing the tougher South Course tomorrow, although they did toughen the North Course by making the fairways very narrow. I saw several dips in his swing when I expected those to be out of there. He took 30 putts besides the 36% driving accuracy.

I just don't expect a cure in a day, or even 3 days, for a victory. Guess I expected less rust. He should have played last week if he wanted to win this week. But there is no winner until Sunday. So we'll see.

Some good numbers put up on the South Course too. I think he'll be okay, but I also told someone he probably needed -5 today to seriously contend.

The dips are irrelevant. I don't care about them, and I think it's telling that's all Nick Faldo could talk about.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
