This is the first time at the end of a match that a pro didnt take his hat off to shake his opponents hand. Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar never took there hat off to shake hands with their opponent. Maybe it was because they were so devastated losing they forgot . I still think that was disrespectful to their opponents.

Two thumbs up compared to Kaymer pulling a disappearing act after his match.

I do applaud whatever gets people to stop this ridiculous new "tradition" of hat post round hat removal.

I distrust anyone that would make an issue of something like that (like the stuffed shirt that puffed his chest, and disrespectfully interupted, Fowler for wearing his hat backwards at a press conference).

I agree with every post on here, save for the OP.

But, mostly, as a dude who's hair is disappearing faster and faster every day, I agree with Sean.

I don't think it was purposeful.  In every other match, hats were removed.  In both cases you could tell they were congratulating their opponent.  I think it was just an oversight.

Believe me, nobody wants to see my hair when the hat comes off (although Furyk doesn't have to worry about that)

Yea, Furyk and Strickler are both bald and Tiger ain't far back. Or maybe it was fear of sunburn.  If you played 'Sir Nick Faldo'  would you curtsy or bow  on the 18th?

Kind of a worthless thread as this is a non-issue but I like it that pro's take off their caps when they shake hands post round. It shows respect and in a way separates the commercialism from the competition.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By 4zim ·

      Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite

      How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

      I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up.

      Super narrow hole. Stroke average will likely be well over par here. Since it seems like it only plays what 300-305 for you from white tees I don't think 7i - 7i is the worst play if 7i dispersion is small enough that it would hardly ever reach the penalty hazards.  But if your 7i dispersion brings the hazards into play then you're likely better off hitting something further up there since everything would have the hazard in play.
