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.

      Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

      Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.

      "Force Precedes Motion" and Flawed Physics in a TPI Video

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
