What about rule 6-7. (2 stroke penalty for slow play. No mention of just one stroke) Also. Perhaps fault lies with all the other officials who don't enforce the rules. Perhaps euros actually care about slow play. Prediction. A slew of penalties in next month or two.

From a friend of Tiger: “More than the physical and swing-wise, he’s just not working on anything . He’s not worried about his swing, he’s worried about the score. He’s

Heh. They realize that they wrote these rules, right? It's not like Bobby Jones dug up a piece of papyrus under the 12th green during construction telling him, "thou shalt not feature the same player

Great first day at the Masters.  I am happy for Sergio and I'm glad Tiger is in the mix.  It was nice to see Dustin Johnson finally get on a Master's leaderboard. By far, the top story for me a

I don't think so . .this article just posted:

"Per the PGA Tour, it's the first slow-play penalty assessed since Glen Day was hit in 1995 ... three years before Guan was even born."

With all the slow-pokes on tour week in and week out - how on Earth can they justify dusting off the one stroke penalty in this situation?

I am not against the one stroke penalty at all . .in fact, I think they should use it every week .. but this doesn't seem fair.


Furyk deserves one every week.

Worse thing it did nothing to speed him up because for the most part he was done. Just seems like an attack on an easy target.

I think that the rules official wanted to set an example, so he picked on the 8th grader....I'm sure that all the pros will now pick up the pace (sarcasm!)

Players play, tough players win!

Here it is 6:10 fri evening and what a leader board !!! Hard to tell who will try to separate themselves from the field! Probably will come down to the back 9 on Sunday ! That is just one of the great things about the Masters! I think minus eleven will win it!

Ye[quote name="Rick Martin" url="/t/65568/2013-masters-discussion-thread/300#post_831097"]these players move like molasses - just watched Piercy spend about 5 mins eying a putt on 13 that he missed anyway. edit: guess they make up for it with 300-yd drives down the middle. [/quote]

and what a beautiful replayed shot to show composure in the face of bad breaks. To get bogey after a break like that is awesome.

That happened a couple months ago to somebody else in another tournament (for the 2nd time to that particular guy, apparently), and I thought it was the worst golfing break I'd ever seen.  But imagine having it happen in a major?!?

Smh, that actually pissed me off.  But he made a good bogey.  That guy has some focus.

The penalty on Guan was ridiculous.  It isn't consistent with what they have done for other players.  If he was on the 6th hole MAYBE...but on the 17th?  Makes no sense based on what they have done in the past.

They need to ban that 15th flagstick from Augusta National.  And they better get it off the premises before Colin can get to it.

I swear if that was me, I would have dropped so many f-bombs and other foul language that Rick Martin would have passed out.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      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.

      My Swing (billchao)

      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.
