I agree, it's not a major, but it's damn fun to watch and it does have arguably the best field of the season. So let's here some predictions!

The winner will be?

The affect moving the even to May will be?

Major surprises of the event will be?

Since I started I'll go first,

Winner: Phil Mickelson
He's playing well now, back to back T3 finishes. It's all going to come together for Philly Mick this week.

New date will mean: Less interruption for weather delays, must more firm and fast track and higher scores. Possibly a -6 winning score.

Surprises: The major surprise will be that there are no surprises. It's going to be a top flight event and the leader board will read like a who's who of golf right now.

Bonus surprise: Ernie Els pulls a MC Hammer...aka Missed Cut

Winner: Tiger Woods. I hate to be predictable but I think he's too tough right now.

May Date: Definitely the weather. Won't be delayed by rain as often (if at all). Also as a result the conditions play faster and firmer, with higher scores. I agree.

Surprises: I dunno... I can see some guys who have had past success here missing the cut, such as Davis Love and Stephen Ames. Jim Furyk also MC's and a European contends and comes up just short. Uhhh... I'll go with Paul Casey.

Boy the opening round has been disastrous for my fantasy team... my best scores are for Stenson at Even par.

Tiger has a lot of ground to make up being 8 shots back, but you can lose shots on this course as fast as you can make them up... so hopefully it will even out tomorrow.

Yep. DL III walked up to #17 tee at 1-under and walked off #18 green at 5-over.

Winner: Phil Mickelson

New date will mean: Less rain issues, the greens and such will play faster.

Surprises: Will that new tropical storm end up messing with the game by chance?

Bonus surprise: Tiger misses the cut. He ended 3 over, I think.

You're too late for the winner prediction

As for gaining/losing strokes I think you can lose them faster than you can gain them. You guys mentioned Love, Paul Casey went to the 17th at -2 and left the 18th green at +2.

Winner: Phil Mickelson

Everybody posting now just looks silly. C'mon, the first round is over. You have a slight advantage on picking the winner, wouldn't you say?

I'd close the thread altogether, but I think we can still rib each other a bit.

I thought the same thing and laughed a bit reading the later posts.

I was going to start a "Who's going to win the Wachovia" poll. I have a feeling Tiger might. Edit: Oh wait, there is one. I need to go vote in it!

LMAO @ Mickelson picks! I see right after I told this guy his Mickelson pick was too late I see there was another Mickelson prediction right after that. Anyways, I still don't think he'll win. He's got to deal with the afternoon winds today so we'll see who everyone's "pick" to win is after round 2 tomorrow morning

We'll see how accurate all the predictions are that come in Saturday night too, you wake up Sunday morning, pick 3 guys you think will win and we'll all marvel about how smart you are!

Mind you, my Mickelson pick was PRIOR to the tournament starting, however he still has a TON of work to do.

I said somewhere else that Tiger might miss the cut, but it has moved back to +4!

Wow, Tiger barely made the cut. Call me crazy but he's almost in a good position right now. I haven't looked at tomorrow's tee times yet but he has to be one of the very first groups off and if the conditions are anything like they have been the past couple of days he's going to have a good chance to post a good number and watch his name climb as he sits in the clubhouse. We'll see!

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      My Swing (Zeph)

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
