Seems he did. Wow. Congrats to him. He may outclass Donatello tenfold.

Last week on the show Tommy got up and down 3 times in a row in the elemination challenge. That was by no means luck, the kid has a short game! I don't like his long game, his swing looks like a goofy Peter Jacobsen imitation of Arnold Palmer but as Harvey Penick said, A player with a good short game is a match for anyone.

Congrats To Tommy for making the big dance this week at Wackovia!

Yea, I will be watching intently to see if he gets any airtime... It sure would be cool to see him do well. He seems like a nice guy, and he sure is clutch.

MARK MY WORDS: DON IS GOING TO TAKE THIS THING

The good news -- we marked your words. And you couldn't have been more wrong. Heck, DD didn't even make the final four!

And the bad news: with Pam & Donatello gone there is nobody left for me to pull against !

Ding Dong the Donatello is Dead.

I just got done watching the episode...Is it me or none of their games worthy of a tour exemption? DD is an arrogant arse and will never make a dent on any tour based on his temperent and overcompensation...he just gets in his own way.

Because of DD age I don't think he has a chance on any tour until he is qualified for the Senior Tour.
He will be missed in the last few episodes. I really thought it would be DD and Tommy in the finals.
Last night was a huge surprise.

Wow...can't believe he didn't use the exemption.

A. If you don't use it and lose, you lose money and are out.

B. If you use it you move on it is up for grabs and if DD was as overconfident in his skills as we all know he is/was then he would pick it up again.

C. Use it and go on to the next round...there are no guranatees you will win.

D. If he really was that on edge/emotional that day, which was probably was only increased by winning the truck, why not use the exemption and hope for a better day.

Not using it and choking made him look like a fool...arrogance karma?

That was almost as stupid as Marty Morninweg taking the wind in an overtime Lions v. Bears game.

Exemptions aside... kudos for Tommy for pulling off the Monday Qualifier for Wachovia. Anyone who "has game" probably doesn't need the exemption in the first place though right? Hence the whole "Big Break".

    • Day 591, June 16, 2024 Worked for almost four hours doing some modifications to Golf Evolution (some insulation for a foam door and blacking out the remaining windows next to my teaching area), then hit balls for 45 minutes. Started off stiff, predictably, but five minutes in was humming. Same stuff as the last two days.
    • Day 65: Played 18. Decent round with the exception of two doubles. 
    • Went back to feeling the hands slowing down and stopping at A3. Feel a significant pause at A3. Hands down towards the ground. I get the mental image of Morikawa with how he pauses at the top of the swing, but then really rips at it.  For me, I have to  grip the club about 5° open. Or at least what looks like. With the driver, it’s another story. A bit of a regression here. Lots of John Daly– esque over swing. Lots of  shallowing with the body. If I try to send the club behind me with the hands going down to the ground. I have a bad habit of timing that with an over swing. So, I had to go back to feeling a significant positive again to control the back swing length. Then I went back to try to bring the back of the right hand down to my right hip. It feels stupidly, awkward. Like no flow to the swing. But from A6 through impact  feels more effortless. Now I’m hitting some decent push cuts this way. In the swing feels like it has no speed. But, it’s probably better overall. something I noticed that is way different from my irons to my driver is that with my irons I can keep my eyes looking at the ball much better through the downswing. With the driver, I find it pretty much impossible to do. Will post some videos later.
    • The text, in case Elon ever kills Twitter (more than he already has): Quick 18-hole game you can play on a launch monitor: Write 90, 95, 100, 105… 175 on 18 balls. Put them in a bag, pick one out, try to carry the ball the listed distance. Scoring: - ≤ 1 yd, Eagle - 1.1 - 3 yds, Birdie - 3.1 - 6 yds, Par - 6.1 - 9 yds, Bogey - > 9 yards, Double Of course, you don't have to do it with 18 balls; you can use slips of paper, etc. You could also set a start and end point and randomly generate 18 numbers, and play to those yardages. But… let's see some scores? Let's see what people get. The nice thing is… you only need a Mevo level device.
    • He's entertaining. I still don't "like" him, and he has said a lot of stupid shit over the years, recently about the LIV stuff and the OWGR, etc. TikTok is infinitely more evil than Bryson.
