Watched some of the ladies at Kingsmill, including Monday playoff hole. Putting, chipping, pitching all seemed so amateurish. These folks are 'professionals' and practice daily. I can understand why they can't compete against men on the long game but why such miserable short games? No confidence, lack of agression due to low testosterone, lack of exposure, nerves, public exhibition??

Are you still sure what's her name should get invited to the Masters? Maybe she just beat a bunch of chokers with no short game?

Women lack speed with the short game. A good short game relies on a LOT of speed - a lot more than many people think.

      I know you guys were discussing this like a year ago. But, ironically I just had this discussion with my brother-in-law. We literally just did one of these. I'd always used the "Slow-Cook, Rest, and Sear" Method. But my bother-in-law was convinced the "5-Min/lb, 500 degree" method was the way. So, we gave it a go. I have to say it came out great.  I have a 25 year old, electric oven, GE brand... Not sure if that matters, but it came out great. ... Of course we stressed that nobody was to open the oven.   I don't make these all that often so, I'm not sure if I can fully recommend one method or the other, because without doing a Pepsi Challenge, I'd say both ways come out great. 👍😁👍
