Tommy Aaron, best known for his temper, won the 1973 Masters. Following a successful amateur career, many predicted great things for Aaron, but he won only five times as a professional.

Did you mean Tommy Bolt? Tommy Aaron was a pretty mellow guy.

I get why people discuss topics like this but the way I see it better to have had that moment then none at all. I have a hard time pointing at a player that won a major and calling them a "one-shot wonder" when they have, in fact, won a major even if they did fade into professional obscurity afterwords. I'm sure Rich Beems trophy room is a bit more impressive than my trophy shelf!

True enough.  But it's still weird to think that Orville Moody and Jack Fleck each won more US Opens than Sam Snead.  It just is.

    • Day 18: 5/9/25 Indoor chipping followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 9 -  25 (9 May 25) Weekly shootout with the men’s group.  It was a very ‘meh kind of round - especially on the green - 36 total putting strokes taken, of that I had 5 3putts.  Granted the greens were iffy as they have been struggling with the heat and lack of rain.  Also my normal solid 8i was a chunk master - only iron misbehaving today.  Much to glean from today…still was fun competing in the shootout. 
    • This!!! Shocking how fast I forget this for chipping and pitching because I’m thinking of the other stuffs. This just cleans up contact so much. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I've never used an aid. I dramatically improved my putting with two things. First, I realized I'd let my hands drift too far forward and it was messing up my eye for lining up to my close alignment point on the line to my aim point (I don't use the aim point system but do my reads by finding where I think I should try to hit the ball to for it to end up rolling in the hole). I set up a few cues for myself around setup to make sure my hands were in the right place. Second, I found a stretch on the shitty, thin carpet over concrete in my basement that didn't break. Then I set up two alignment sticks end to end (obviously in a straight line), and laid down a cup on its side at one end. Then I just put a golf ball the same distance from the alignment sticks as the center of the cup and lined up and tried to roll the ball parallel to the alignment sticks into the cup over and over and over. I've been solid at distance control since I got fit for my putter. Ingraining a feel for whether I've lined up correctly when I take a glance at my aim point has dramatically improved my putting. I'm no pro or anything, but I putt well for the number of rounds I get in these days.
    • Day 293: played 18. Really pleased with it - started with 3 bogeys but managed to shoot +5. Hit the ball well overall, and had some really good short game shots.
