My fellow lefty....and you wonder why people give you a tough time.


It will be interesting to see how things end up, especially if the weather is as bad as they are predicting.

Something going on between Gmac and Paula Creamer? She wished him luck on twitter a while ago. She wished no one else luck

Pulling for DJ here as well, mostly because I voted for him in that "future majors" thread and I want to be right.

No need to bring up something that was resolved a page ago. I'm 20 if you must know. I would defend myself at any age though so I don't see that being relevant.

Thank you, finally a post of yours I like! lol You're absolutely right...why bring up something that we already resolved.

No more posts about anything else than the final two days of The Open Championship .

Hard to pick a winner here...the headline of Golf.com right now is right..."Wide Open".

I think Martin Kaymer will definitely contend. Jimenez and Bjorn will stick around. I think the winner will come from lower on the leaderboard...maybe Phil or Sergio or Rory again.

PS: It's funny, I was watching the Golf Channel on Wednesday night, and they were at the roundtable making predictions. The one guy there (not Feherty, some other guy) said "I'm going to say Miguel Angel Jimenez is going to contend...he makes no sense, just like this golf course." I was thinking, "LOL, I doubt that". And look where Jimenez is after 2 rounds...tied for 3rd.

I was going to list him in my post but then thought twice...just don't think he can play excellently in links golf conditions for long. He'll finish in the top 35 but I think I see a win from him

It's naaaaaaaaaaasty out there. Going 'round in Par would be doing very, very well.

Apparently Phil's learned a 'Wind shot'.

Only took him 'till 41 years of age to learn a punch shot.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
