I heard some guy on ESPN yesterday saying that the wind had been so bad during practice rounds that guys couldn't even hit the green on par 3s while hitting driver.  It must have been those two holes they were talking about.

Thomas Bjorn played really well, and Tom Lewis really surprised me. I thought Lee Westwood would be up there but just played average.

... absolutely can't imagine trying to hit a green with a driver - I have a hard enough time hitting a FAIRWAY with my driver.

there's a course near my dad's house where i play from time to time. and for some silly reason, someone decided a 265 yard par 3(from the tips) was a good idea.

westwood employs one of two strategies when in majors. 1. he plays pedestrian for the first two and a half rounds, then somewhere on the back nine on saturday he goes on a tear for a round and a half and comes up 2 strokes short. 2. he plays fantastically the first three rounds, then decides on the 3rd hole that he couldn't be bothered and drops 5 shots, only to finish 2 strokes short.

perhaps this week he's going with #1

Think MrElculver2424  (and TigerSpuds) are referring to each other. Probably haven't got the nouse to offer a considered reply.

There is a 250 yarder near me, I took out the driver and missed the green of course haha.

"Now on the tee, from SouthAfrica, Looostazn," is how it sounded to me when he introduced the defending champ.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
