Good info.  Whether it's the ball or something else, I think distance control is all that's lacking in his ballstriking.  And honestly, I don't know how anyone can putt well with that ball because the cover is so stiff.

We're not talking about Tour players, we're talking about Tiger.  He should be averaging less than six feet.

[quote name="jamo" url="/t/55694/2012-honda-classic-discussion-thread/36#post_684765"] His website, which is usually pretty up to date, still has Tiger using the One Tour D. [/quote] Yeah, i'm pretty sure he is still playing Tour D. I don't think he has ever played the 20Xi in a tournament. I have mixed feelings myself...feels and sounds like you are hitting a ping pong ball...has a hollow feel...feels so light. But it sure does explode off the face...thats for sure.

With Mahan, Rose, and Woods all playing well, I've got to give, oh I don't know, maybe 5% credit to Foley.

He won Doral six times. In March. In the wind. That's a ridiculous statement.

No wonder Tiger played so bad....he had to watch his playing partner shoot +16. Not easy to score when you have to watch someone hacking it up. I could have shot +16!! ;-) Probably not, but I am going to act confident. I would have just stared at Tiger the whole time and totally forgot I was even playing golf. My caddie would have to slap me in the face to get me to stop watching all his shots. ha

J. Rose on his way to the second lowest round ever recorded on the course, and he played the Bear Trap -2.  What is it that's making the scores so low today?

Today was a good day at the Honda. The weather was pleasant and the wind picked up. I got to see Tiger, Lee, and the poor guy that stood in for Poulter. Woods hit some loose shots today the first one on the short #4 where he hit his 3 iron right and beaned a guy right on the head. He got a good bounce some 20 yards forward and stuck a wedge for the bird. The next hole, a par 3, he doubled with a poor tee shot. On 6 he blew driver right again and hit from the palm trees and managed par. Finally he played 8 text book - fairway, green, bird. Westwood played solid not really making any mistakes. Rory was impressive out driving Bradely and Stanely a few times. He bombed it on 3 and made bird, bombed it on 4 and 6 and then almost hit the pin but missed the 3 footer for bird. Keegan and Stanely looked good but Rory is the deal. The best thing about the Friday groupings is that the groups are really spread out. At one point we walked with Darren Clarke and Paddy and we were part of a gallery of 12! Ricky was tame today and was paired with Boo. We watched Love come around on 16 where he hit a perfect tee shot and missed the green only to chip it in. I saw a lot of golf today and got a major lesson on tempo. Wow. Sunday I am spotting for the Golf Channel somewhere in the Bear Trap, so hopefully I will have some good things to pass along.

When Rory makes impact with his driver, does it sound like large-caliber rifle shot going off?  Because that's what it looks like on TV.

You can hear all those guys bust it. Rory is just so pure and he had so many people rooting for him. Tiger had the bigger gallery, with some some real yahoos (Mashed Potatoes on every tee shot) along with a ton of security and Rory (who played in the PM) had almost as big of a following with a crowd who definitely had more etiquette.

Mashed potatoes is so dumb.  I'd much prefer someone yelled "crawfish etouffee" or "veal scallopini" or even "bacon cheeseburger".  Of all the things to yell, why mashed potatoes?

But if the stats include shots from thick rough or waste areas, then of course they will bring the average up.


They list the details at the bottom of every stats page:

The average distance the ball comes to rest from the hole in feet when a player hits his approach from a distance range from 100 yards up to 125 yards. The approach shot must originate from fairway and must end on or around the green. (074)

I have people for reading the bottom of pages. Whatever, Tiger's wedges sucked today. He had a shot from about five yards off the green, good lie in the fairway, nothing between him and the hole but flat terrain covered by closely mown grass. It seemed like a good candidate for a putt, but for some reason he tried a flop shot, and it went about two yards.

Tiger spent so much time in the woods you would have thought there were Waffle House waitresses hiding out in them.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

Is there such a thing as bad waffles?

Louis O had fun finishing up, dropping 5 shots in the last 5 holes. His ears got so red, I expected steam to start shooting out of them.

Course looks tough, despite the scores. Will probably be in Palm Beach later this year to visit sister-in-law. Might have to call TS and go card a 90 or so.

His wedges are still killing him. On the last two holes, he hit two perfect drives, and two bad wedges from inside 120. Escaped with a par on the first one, cost him a bogey on the second one. From where he was on the fairway, he should have birdied both of them.

How was Tiger's round?....missed it and DVR decided to record my wife's Project Runway marathon instead. It looks like it was pretty windy out there, but how did he putt.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
