When the sun emerges above the English Channel next Sunday morning, it will appear to be shining the brightest over the British Isles, as Britons and Irishmen will constitute the majority of the names

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

lol, I know. I think he did the ryder cup or something too. His voice is funny when he says their names





With comments like that, all I can say is Bubba, please come back! All is forgiven. Yes...the Ryder Cup "or something" and........37 Opens.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Yes, but if ever there was a case of stating the obvious.....

You guys don't remember him from last year?  I could not get the way he announced "Oosthuizen" out of my head after last year's Open Championship.

EVERY single time I see Louis in any tournament, I repeat his name the same way the announcer did at last year's tournament.  At this point I cannot stop doing it.  In fact I've already said it 4 times while writing this post.  And then I giggle like a schoolgirl after each one.

To be fair, how would he know when you started golfing? And even if he did, how would he know that you only started to watch golf on tv at the same time you started playing it?

I'm digging the pairing with the two Toms. They showed a split screen slow-mo of Watson vs. Lewis, and they have nearly the same takeaway, but it really goes to show you what happens to golf swings with age.

Is Darren Clarke like Europe's Fred Couples?

yikes - the wheels have come off the Gmac bus once again after a good start.        Other notable derailures in the making include Calcavecchia (ouch - quad, double & bogey through 4 holes), Westwood, Kuchar.     Early projection ... Charl appears to have his game face on & is only going to get better

I'm very surprised to see Matt Kuchar +11 and 6th last. I thought he would do well this week.

Over par is going to win if the best they can do in the good conditions is -4

So, Glover's aiming to be the first bearded champion since the days of Old Tom Morris. Overton plays surprising well on the British Isles: he finished T11 at St. Andrews last year, played well at the Ryder Cup, and is right in the thick of things this week. Who cares about G-Mac, when Clarke is representing Northern Ireland with elan. The Mechanic has a peculiar warm-up routine; the cigar stays in his mouth the whole time. Chad Campbell and Anthony Kim both pulled 68s out of thin air. Welcome back, boys; it's been a while. Westwood is currently outside the cut line at 3-over, but he should be safe if he pars out. There's no way the cut stays at +2. Tougher conditions today mean the low round today is only 67, shot by Raphael Jacquelin. Jacquelin's swing is truly a sight to behold.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
