That he's telling the truth, probably.

Amazing how lucky Tiger was.  The players were greater back in Jack's day, then Tiger won 14 majors against weak competition, and now the players are great again.  Just let Tiger get on a major roll a

Now - to get to my point. Here we have a player who feels the disappointment and is so disappointed with himself that he doesn't mind expressing it. He gives the honest answer as he feels at that moment and you criticise him for it.

He could have said he'd have more chances, he's still young, Jack won at such and such an age, look at Freddy, three more chances this year etc. etc.

He didn't. He was honest.

Compares pretty favourably to the "I'm just going to go out and enjoy it, play one shot at a time" crap we're used to."

I think you have to respect him. It may sound defeatist, it may sound self-pitying. At least it was honest.


Well said, you cynical bastard.

Just saw Mickelson on TV take a 6 on a par-3, the commentators seemed to indicate he might have been better off taking stroke and distance and heading back to the tee. Probably a coin flip to play it as it lays versus taking a penalty do-over.

Not a coin flip. He could have missed it completely or it could have hit him. Should have gone back to the tee. Still had no shot even if he had got it out to where his third ended up.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

How and why would it end up in  trophy case at Augusta? Why wouldn't the guy keep it?

I would expect it to be on Ebay tomorrow, especially if Oostie wins.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
