Phil withdrew because he played like shit. No other reason. Sulking 100%

What made that chip-in great was that if it hadn't hit the hole he would still have had just a tap-in for par - the speed was perfect. I get what you are saying and he has never been

Yeah, I read that last night.  How would that even work?  He texted from his personal phone or had somebody do it for him?  That seems odd.

I watched my replay on DVR. It was Schwartzel putting with his wedge. Crazy that I cannot find a single mention by the media of this.

Needle movers in the world of golf:

  1. Tiger Woods

There's your complete list. There's a second tier of "needle movers" for hard-core golf fans - but nobody moves the needle like Tiger. Schwartzel must be in tier 3.

You ain't lying about that. However, the media who are on record complaining about on-course poor behavior are hypocrites for remaining silent on this ... or they should just say that they're against " on-air poor behavior."

News on "Mickelson-gate": Apparently he texted Finchem from the sixth fairway during his first round at the memorial: [URL=http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8013955/phil-mickelson-texted-pga-tour-commissioner-tim-finchem-fairway-memorial-cellphone-usage-being-hand]http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/8013955/phil-mickelson-texted-pga-tour-commissioner-tim-finchem-fairway-memorial-cellphone-usage-being-hand[/URL]

I had thought that the players themselves weren't allowed to use phones during the round, but I don't know where that thought came from.

It came from the PGA Tour. Players are definitely NOT allowed to use cell phones during their round. Phil will likely be hearing from them.

He was going to bale anyway so maybe he didn't care if he got busted for it.

I think it goes without saying he didn't care...he (allegedly) texted the commissioner directly.  It's definitely ironic if it indeed happened this way.

If true, doesn't Phil's use of his phone (if it was a smartphone with "weather" or GPS) disqualify him?  Meaning he should've been DQ'd rather than WD.

Not if he wasn't using it as a DMD. :)

He was using it to text message only ;-)

Hahahha yeah - like they are going to discipline someone they just placed into the HoF over sending a text message.

Mr Finchem: Phil, we are sorry to inform you but we are going to change the official results of the Memorial tournament.  Rather than a WD, we are going to replace it with a DQ due to the use of a smartphone during the course of play.  I will admit Phil, I was a little dissapointed that you didn't send me a photo with your text.

Mr. Mickelson: Come on Tim.  That will not work.  You see, I have a new 5Hr Energy sponsorship which I executed just this week.  How are we to market that I turned my WD into a W by drinking 5Hr Energy!?

He was probably fined.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
