I really miss Shot Tracker and the stats we get on regular tour events. I like to look at fairways hit, GIR, putts, left or right tendencies etc.


Somewhere late in the second nine they commented that Lee was leading the field in GIR.  I just know that he was close a lot yesterday; he made four birdies on the back nine, but could have made 7 or 8.  And he missed a few really easy putts on Friday/Saturday, including a 3-putt from like 6 feet on 18 on Friday.

I've learned to always add 1.5 hours to the recording for golf tournaments.  For some strange reason, I really enjoy watching golf as a recording as opposed to watching it live.  Not only can I skip all of the genuflecting, commercial breaks and sponsor plugs, etc.  But there is much less of a chance of me seeing random Facebook updates of friends spoiling the golf results for me or text messages updating me on the action.  Golf just isn't important to most of my friends I guess :)

Anyway, from doing that over the past year, I learned that 30 minutes extra was not enough to catch a whole round.  Then I learned that an hour extra wasn't even enough in the case of delays, extra slow rounds and or playoffs.  So starting a few rounds ago, I made sure to always add 1.5 hours to any golf recording.

But you're right, I'm still not sure if it would catch the whole thing.

I feel bad for Louis, he played just absolutely error-free golf the whole day. He made every important par putt on his 18 holes and just barely missed the putt to win on the first and the putt to tie on the second hole. Lee Westwood is another guy who deserves a lot of applause for his stunning play from tee to green this week, I can't believe how many lips he burned. If you could combine the putting of Louis and the ball striking of Westwood, you would have a winner by 10 strokes.

That's why the other players call him "crack pipe."

Sang-Moon Bae at 200/1 - each way - because he has contended too much this year not to back him at that price

Peter Hanson at 150/1 - each way - I like the odds and he is the sort of player that will end up in the top 5 having flown under everyone's radar all week - see last year's US Open

That only leaves a couple of people in the field that I haven't backed and I don't see Sandy or Larry recapturing past form!!!


That shot of Bubba's cost me £450 - arse!

But Hanson & Louis covered what I put on and then some.

Great tournament - who needs Tiger and Rory in contention to make it great viewing.

Looks like Bubba mistook the old guy's "Take it away guys - I'll step back (but not really) so you can do the jacket presentation" as a handshake offer. Then he shook Chuck's because he didn't want to slight the defending champion. I learned more about Bubba in this clip than his speech.

Did anyone see this during the jacket presentation to Bubba? I noticed it when it happened live but didn't think twice about it. Then a friend sent me a link to this GIF. It's pretty hilarious when you watch it a few times through. It almost looks choreographed.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
