Some thoughts from walking the South and North yesterday - not the whole place of course but more than usual.  A very good day overall.

Snedeker was really enjoying himself, he seemed to be smiling the whole time I saw him.  Very relaxed and smooth action.  He was already 6 under at around 2.

Mike Weir looked very sharp esp. with his irons.  I saw him lay up from the rough on a par 4 and said to my friend, "Good decision.  Going for the green was too risky and he could easily make par from here with his short game" - which he proceeded to do.

My friend and I were walking along the 14th talking about Phil's tax situation - my friend takes a different view and thinks he should just suck up the new higher CA tax rate - when we noticed that his wife was walking right behind us with another woman.  Well, that was the end of THAT particular conversation .....  Phil's wife looked very good and seemed to be having a fine time, not that she was following her husband's game very closely, at least for the couple holes we followed him - too busy chatting with her friend.  I hadn't realized that she's quite so petite.

I must say that Daly was looking good and fit.  His weight looks about right and unlike last time I didn't see him smoking - bravo!   I've always been a fan of Charles Howell III and it was good to see him playing so well and enjoying himself.  Never forget, it was here that he flew the ball right into the hole on the approach shot on the 18th on Sunday with a one shot lead; the ball bounced out, ran down the slope and into the pond - loss of tournament.  That guy deserves to win a few more tourneys before he's done.

Beachcomber:  yes, the rough was cut shorter than I've ever seen at Torrey.  Lots of guys were hitting greens from well off the fairway, hence some of the low scoring.

I can recommend the Schwab tent on the 17th fairway.  Cheers!

You know him?

Well, you know how Tiger has nicknames for all his buddies? I call Tiger nicknames and it's like we are buds too.

And you followed the Tiger form of really lame, name-related nicknames. Well done.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
