to be fair, his last one hit a tree and caromed left.

and i agree, this has been excruciatingly slow.

They sure are desperately trying to make it look like Woods could lose that lead coming in. That sure won't happen. But his driving today is really concerning. Perhaps it's because of the slow play, the wind or something else. It's crazy, the guy wins by 5 or so and probably will leave with a sour taste.

But I really think the missing rhytm due to the slooooow play in front of him has something to do with his uneven play today. They just said the group in front of Woods is a whole par 5 and some more behind, that's ridiculous...

Maybe in their haste to get as many holes as possible yesterday they put everybody off too close together?  7 or 8 minutes perhaps, instead of 10 or 15 or whatever their usual is?

I noticed that there was a group waiting in the fairway behind Tiger's group on 6 yesterday, which means that there was no gap at all between the guys who started their final round on the back nine and the leaders.  I've never seen that before either.

Why did Tiger look like he was 100 yards behind the other 2 there?  Did he tee off with a 7 iron?  (In case you are wondering, I'm watching with one eye and no sound, and no DVR, at work)

He hit a 3W with about a -9 AoA.  And took a huge divot.  Look like he stuck it into the ground behind the ball and skied it.

Tiger's group had been waiting most of the day.  The group in front of them is a full par 5 (and some) behind the next group.

Yesterday Hunter Mahan made the turn while teeing off the back nine first, and had to wait some 10-20 minutes before he could tee off on 1.

Snedeker finished like 2+ hours ago didn't he?  He could have taken a nap, did some surfing and then ate lunch.

I'd be going freakin nuts with these snails ahead of him. It has got to be affecting his play.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
