One of the best things about this tournament is the course. Sherwood CC is an amazing place, and it shows great on TV. I hope these guys really appreciate where they get to play.

I don't have the energy to look into it, but it's not like they're selling this stuff in Wal-Mart (or are they?). So it's not like they're trying (yet?) to foist a bunch of crap on people.

You want bad science, look at Gatorade. :-)

From their website:

Fuse focus provides revolutionary energy and body replenishment products that combine cutting-edge body absorption technology with two proprietary formulas for powering professional athletes and weekend warriors. Utilizing our unique, bonding technology, Fuse Science has a more effective electrolyte and energy delivery system for consumers ranging from the serious athletes to working mothers.

Errr....how about eating and drinking?

Seems even worse than Gatorade!!!

I rest my case.

You haven't made a case!

How about eating and drinking? Guess what? When someone's dehydrated, they use an IV. They don't just make them drink water. There are better, faster ways of getting things into your system than "eating and drinking." I'm not saying they've found a great way, but it's certainly possible to beat "eating and drinking."

I was referring to the over the top advertising lingo.

And I'm sure that "working mothers" can avoid the intensive care unit by drinking water rather than having IVs thrust into their weary and exhausted forearms.

But... as I said, the fact that the Powerband people have been forced to admit that they are frauds doesn't stop quite a few pros form STILL wearing them. So obviously it (the BS advertising) works.

The language in the bit I quoted is enough to make anyone more than a little cynical about this company's ability to create an " electrolyte and energy delivery system".

But I'm sure that they've got pages of "data" which prove the benefits of their snake oil. Good on them. There'll be thousands of suckers who buy it - just as there are millions who buy bottled tap water at more than double the proce of petrol.

Maybe that eating and drinking isn't all it's cracked up to be.  According to the European Union drinking water won't prevent dehydration.

Good find.

I always was a bit suspicious of people who claimed that water hydrates.

Thank heavens for the EU for saving us!!!!

Tiger can get the W with his Seani e swing if he can control his traj and Kuch doesn't steal it from him.  High fives all around bro!

LMFAO

As long as he puts in some more reps with Joey

My buddy is about 10 miles from the golf course and he says the wind is at a 35-40mph clip right now with forecasted gusts of up to 60 mph!

[Zwick]

It's going to be fun. It's cool that there is wind, but I hope it isn't too bad

I would be surprised if Tiger doesn't finish at least top 3.

[Kieran123]

-3 through 4 - tied for 1st

Wind not an issue I guess?

[deasy55]

It must be an American 35mph wind rather than an Irish 35mph

I like the logo. The tournament should be fun no matter what. Is there a chance of hail this year?
