Haha, yeah, that would have never happened under butch. :)[/quote] Butch spent time on the range with Phil on Thursday evening, and helped him to a smooth 78 on Friday. I think Tiger and Phil should see if Chamblee has time to coach them. But there's not much to complain about the way Tiger has played the last few holes. Looks like he's settling down, and the chances are good for a Woods-Scott final group tomorrow.

Scott has been hoisting that putter for several years. And he's proceeded to bend over with a long putter?

Works for him. But don't expect immediate results.

I love these camera angles. Scott watching objects getting smaller on his rear mirror.

Man, Adam Scott has an incredible golf swing. If the putting holds up, he's looking tough to beat. Pulling for him to win this thing.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Have to say, I think ESPN is doing a great job with the coverage. Camerawork is good, like the production, not too much or not enough of any certain player (though it certainly helps that the leaderboard is pretty well-defined). Good mix of announcers.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Agree. Azinger, North, Strange, Browne...guys we don't usually get a lot of, and Tirico does an excellent job orchestrating it all. It's a nice break of the somewhat steady diet of Miller/Feherty/McCord/Faldo we usually get.

I think Olin Browne has a second career ahead of him in broadcasting.

Scott is putting up quite the distance between himself and the rest of the field. Only three bogies so far this week.

Ogio Grom | Callaway X Hot Pro | Callaway X-Utility 3i | Mizuno MX-700 23º | Titleist Vokey SM 52.08, 58.12 | Mizuno MX-700 15º | Titleist 910 D2 9,5º | Scotty Cameron Newport 2 | Titleist Pro V1x and Taylormade Penta | Leupold GX-1

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
