Here's one thing that could limit Tiger's chances this week: nobody's going to lose strokes by three-putting. The greens are too slow and don't have a lot of break in them. You can be aggressive, aim straight at the hole from long distances, and even if your speed AND line are off, you'll still practically have a tap-in. The advantage to leaving yourself below the holes goes away and the disadvantage to playing away from the holes goes away too because even from 50 feet you can judge the speed well enough and the ball stops quickly near the hole.

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

Three poor shots in a row for Tiger on the first hole. But in the last major he won, he made double bogey on the first hole in three out of the four rounds.

Bogey/Double. So much for that.

Maybe Foley shouldn't have spent time with Tiger on the range.

2 over after 3.

Sean, go home.

Brandt dropped his first shot of the tournament. Also, loving the live shot tracker thing. I remember they did that two years ago, 17 at St. Andrews. (I'm sure they did it last year, but none of the holes stand out.) They've got it at a few holes now.

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      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.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By ZenShot ·

      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.
