Based on the limited air time Tiger got this weekend, it was pretty obvious his head was not in it.  It appeared that the wind really messed with his distance control Saturday and he just gave up.  Today he seemed to be rushing putts and by the end of the day you could tell he just wanted to finish up and get off the course.

Super pumped isnt exactly what comes to mind. But I am just thrilled for Merion. Its gonna best such a different event and showcase the fact that long courses arent the way to beat the pros.

Kuchar would have been one of my picks for the US Open, but I doubt he will twice in a row.

Guess he doesn't move the needle much.

How is "Muirfield Village Golf Club" misnamed?

I don't like Kuchar's swing. I don't like the slow lift off hover thing he does to start his backswing, or the closed stance he has that makes every shot he hits look like a pull hook or a pull cut. And he's got little teeth... Edit - yes, I know he could beat me left handed and blindfolded...

Yeah, that lift and hover is odd, like he's going fall over backwards or something. And he's got nothing on Tiger's big, bold and beautiful chompers.

But I do like him.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Here's something I've always wondered:  What does it mean when they say 'so-and-so' "hosts" this tournament?  Memorial is Jack's, Bay Hill is Arnie's, Sherwood is Tiger's, etc, etc.  What exactly does said host do?  Other than sometimes reside in the area and have their name on the tournament?  Just curious.

I agree with both of you, or used to, and then inexplicably, within the last year or so, I started doing this.  It's not nearly as pronounced - I only pick the club up a half inch or so - but I do it, and I have no idea why I started.  It just kind of happened.  Go figure ...

Jack said yesterday he hovers too, so I guess you're in good company.

This is different, looks like a vertical hinge mixed with leaning back on his heels a little. Obviously works for him but looks weird. Jack just didn't sole his club.

Look around 0:05. I know I've seen better video of it but couldn't find anything at the moment.

I always assumed it was like producing a movie.  I figured they had the financial burden for the up-front expenses of the tournament, and if no profit was made after the gate, tv contract and sponsorship income then they would be the big losers.

Agreed, very weird. Would be kinda funny if he leaned back a bit too much and fell over.... lol. One of my golfing buddies does somethign similar with every shot as well.. except he sucks.

Winning the Memorial didn't do too much for Tiger's result in the US Open last year so maybe he is trying the reverse strategy.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
