There are 156 players competing at the PGA Championship this week, but only one of them has a foot-long braid of deep-fried goodness named after him. Introducing the Heath Slocum!

Unfortunately, as delicious as his fuel was, Heath could only manage an 80 today. What a shame.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

I'm from Ireland so I have no affiliation to either sport (Although the Irish Cricket team actually beat England not long ago)

I prefer cricket out of the 2 of them though.

Surely, you can't poo-poo that! (Unless you're from Seattle.)

How? Baseball is such a one dimensional game, where participation from the players is such a small part of the team. Let me ask you a question, which is the most difficult?

25 minutes only? Or it's always like this?

Probably didn't want to risk a normal warm up with an hour+ on the range. He hit a good first drive there anyway

Who pays the internet bill?  [joke]

Man, I can't remember someone struggling like Clark in the "reigning champs" grouping in the PGA ...

Rory stiffs it out of the pot. This won't be fun waking up at 7.30 for my tee time tomorrow.

Only 10.15 here. 12 hours ahead of Atlanta.

Speaking of the golf, can Rory start holing some putts? missed 3 genuine birdie chances already...

I had Tiger finishing top 25, I don't think he'll make the cut and I'm always hoping he'll play well.

Tiger will have to shoot 64/65 today to make the cut. I doubt it will happen...but you never know.

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
