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.

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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
