Hopefully the weather doesn't decide the championship. I don't mind the bad weather if all the players get their share of it. But if the morning has calm weather and the afternoon gets gale force wind

That shot put me out of my seat, and I've been a Tiger skeptic. All of a sudden, I like his chances over the weekend.

It didn't hit the liner. The equator of the ball never got below the cup and the putt carried enough speed it spit it back out.

Really?  Van Pelt started out at the Golf channel and doesn't do football games.  I think he has knowledge of the game and is way better than Berman.

Some amount of justice for Tiger - best ball striking on the course, but nothing falling off the putter.

If ... his putter just heats up a little, and he maintains his ball striking ...

Tiger working with the driver on the range, I wonder if he's planning on being a little more aggressive tomorrow. I would bet it depends on what the weather is like, because if the conditions stay like this, it's gonna be tough to catch the leaders playing conservatively.

Also, I love Rick Reilly's narrated pieces for ESPN. The narrative he just did about Snedeker was extremely well done.

Argh, I had an appointment at 2:30 and stuck around to watch him plant it in the bunker. Figured, ok he's got a par and if he turns it into a bogey I'll be happier not to watch it. Wish I'd been late to the appointment to see that!

My comment on Tiger's play that I saw today was: boring, in a good way. I didn't see a lot of tee shots, but it didn't matter because they all seemed to be down the middle, GIR, par (except for the scruff to scruff to bogey par 5).  That's good to see, but I get the feeling he's going to need to step it up a bit because there seem to be much better rounds out there on the course. While I wouldn't necessarily say it's likely that Scott or Snedeker repeat their performances---it seems common for an early big lead to melt in the last rounds---there are a lot of good golfers breathing down Tiger's neck, and anyone could put together a good round and beat his steady Tortoise approach.

That said, his Tortoise is beating all but two of the Hares so far, and if he keeps this sort of consistency going, even if he doesn't pull this one out, it'll be a heck of a performance.

Also, T. Watson's approach on 18 was one of the most exciting shots I've seen in a while. Nice to see him eke his way through the cut!!

It was OK, I guess. It would have been better if he had waited and done it on Sunday for the win.

The one from the bunker? Wasn't that 17? Awesome shot though from a crappy lie.

Ah, yeah that must be right. I was half-watching while trying to finish some things up. That explains why I thought he missed the cut, I was off by one on the hole.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
