Weather?  Are you kidding me?  I'm hearing that the cold wet weather killed the grass....I'm not even close to an expert but the only time I've seen bent grass like that was from extremely hot humid w

Over?.  The broadcast doesn't  even start on Golf Channel for another 35 minutes.   I'm guessing that they started early to beat some weather coming in?  Accuweather shows rain starting midafternoon, so I'm guessing that they are trying to finished before then.  Apparently we will be seeing a delayed broadcast.

Starting early because of the weather was my guess too. It starts on CBS at 3 EST as well.

Yeah it's started early due to weather.  I think Phil is on 15 already, so...not much TV time today.  TGC sucks!  You'd think they would have obviously moved the final round European Tour REPLAY to another time.

Phil bogeyed 16 and 17 and now needs a birdie on 18 to join David Lynn and Derek Ernst in the playoff.

these networks need to learn how to keep up with the times.  Viewer ratings have to dive when the outcome is already known and with shot tracker its pretty easy to see what's happening.  The GC should have aired it live instead of an overseas tourney and the network should have picked it up at 11 or noon.   Then they could at least get some viewers.  I'd be pissed if I was an advertiser.  But what do I know.

WEe ave no way of knowing what their contracts with the various tours say.  They may not have a choice in rescheduling.

How about rookie Derek Ernst picking up his first top 40 finish on the PGA Tour in his 9th PGA Tour start.  As a 4 time all-American at UNLV he joins a strong group of young players on tour.

He had a good week, but he'll be appearing on the PGA Tour's one-hit wonder montages ten years from now.

a) Crystal ball. b) Because he had an educated opinion on something, and opinions don't have to be friendly to all involved. It's not "mean-spirited" to predict someone will fail, especially someone who is highly unlikely to read said prediction (and given the overwhelming likelihood that he will fail).

Derek Ernst was ranked 1,207th in the world rankings at the start of the week. He was headed to Georgia to play in a Web.com Tour event but turned his car around when he got into the Wells Fargo as the fourth alternate. And then the 22-year-old PGA Tour rookie beat David Lynn in a playoff.

Because Ernst is a 22-year-old rookie with a decent amateur record, who had shown no indication whatsoever that he could beat a stacked leaderboard at a top-tier PGA Tour event. Whatever happens to him during the rest of his competitive career will be judged in relation to this victory, which is an impossible act to follow. Winning, or at least frequently being in contention to win, will be the only way Derek Ernst doesn't fade into obscurity; right now, it's easier to see him as a player who got hot on a week where the weather and greens were off, than someone who will be a top-30 player for years to come.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
