John Daly is a great golfer though...no shame in being beaten by Daly... But you're probably right. Retirement is surely the only option.....

That seems like a regular thing to me. Not that I care. Just saying "every two weeks" sounds "regular." FWIW, I smoked pot once. Mostly in the hopes of getting a bit more involved with the girl

I think too many players are spending too much time with coaches.

I was on the fence after Jack said it, but your added endorsement has convinced me. After all, you guys have 18 majors between you.

Do you think Rory would feel the full "sting" of defeat if Daly managed to beat him this weekend?

It might make him wish that he had stayed at the range with his coach and played plenty of practice rounds at Olympic!

I do enjoy watching Daly play when he is in decent form. I just don't expect that he is able to keep it up for four rounds.  Didn't he do pretty good in a tournament earlier this year?  Can't remember?   Of course, I would be tickled if I could ever play as "badly" as Big John plays these days.

Yeah, Daly finished 4th in Qatar. He was consistent over a few days over there.

I'm sure I heard somewhere that Rory was happy enough with his swing on the range but it was an issue during competitive rounds, he was hoping to get the practice he wanted in the tournaments he was playing but missing cuts sort of stops that and so he addded another event.

Also, I'm surprised the issues regarding his caddie haven't resurfaced. Early last year, pre his US Open win but after the Masters, the commentators on Sky were flaming his caddie for not being strong enough when Rory wanted to go for the hero shot and generally not being helpful enough with course management. Some of the big numbers he ran up at the Memorial were due to this - trying to hack out of the creak etc.

I think Rory told the Sky guys where to go on twitter at the time.

Which is 18 more than you.

Furthermore, Jack doesn't agree with everything I say. I think he's being a dick by saying that McIlroy shouldn't be playing this week.

But thanks for letting us know that you think that the opinions of any internet forum member are the equal of the greatest playerr in the history of tyhe game.

I don't actually agree with you there, but I do think that it is odd that one can be criticised or mocked for sharing an opinion which is fairly widely held.

I guess you think we're all still trying to work out the  mystical significance of your avatar and assume that we assume that you are an intellectual.

Those types are called wankers over here too.

And I think it's odd that such a tiny joke would cause such a large overreaction, so I guess we're even.

It looks like Rory McIlroy has figured out what he was doing wrong. Even after missing a couple of 3-footers today, he's tied for the lead in Memphis, with two holes left to play. He's playing with fellow US Open champ Graeme McDowell, who will be able to get two extra days of practice at Olympic this weekend.

Well Big John didn't blow up today...of course, there is always tomorrow.

Rory has his game on track today.

Twitchy Spencer Levin and McDowell and Zach missed the cut...

J.B. Holmes - 4 birdies in a row / 29 on the front! 6 under for the day.

Saturday's play will be interesting!

Experts picks had Graham as the favorite? Well, sucks he missed the cut. But, I had him on my fantasy team, so a very unusual finish for him. I also have Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy and Seab O'Hair. Not bad, but not great picks as of now.

In my bag:

Nike Mach Speed Black

Nike Dymo 3 wood

TaylorMade Burner 3 hybrid

Mizuno MP-53 PW-3

OK. That sound fair.

So any bets that Mcilroy blows his wad this week vs. Next week? Or can he tame the beast and try for a back to back?

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
