Maybe if he wins three or four more majors. Just one? Peh. Whatever.

Doesn't deserve a plaque IMO. There's been lots of memorable shots at Augusta that could fall under the same category.

Name one. Not "lots", just one. "Same category" meaning all or nothing miss it and you've lost - and, from a seemingly hopeless position.

I'm no Bubba fan, but seriously, I'll bet you can't name a single one.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

How about: Lyle's bunker shot up 18 when he won? Phil Mic's 6-iron (?) in to 13 from the pine straw under the trees to finally throw off Westwood? Or even Cabrera's hugely ballsy approach in to 18 this year knowing he had to make 3? Personally, good as Bubba's shot was, I wouldn't start doing this.

Mize get's one on 11 for doing Norman in (if we are giving them out)...arguably one of the more exciting finishes at the Masters.

I seriously think that Justin Rose gets one at Merion on 18 before Bubba gets a bridge named after him in Augusta.

Correct.

But I've been trying to forget that for 20 years or so.

I would have loved to see Greg in green seeing that he has been a "hometown" guy in South Florida for so long. I think he would have brought a lot back to the club as a former champion.

As far as I know, Augusta doesn't have plaques on the course. They do name bridges and other course landmarks for golf icons.

There is a plaque on the course. Sarazen's double Eagle is honored with a plaque on the Sarazen Bridge at 15. It ISN'T located at the spot that he hit it from. The only one I can remember off hand is the spot where Rocco holed out from on 18 at Bay Hill. Almost every one tries the shot during a practice round.

Then they can call the trees to the right of #10 the 'Watson Woods.'

Craig Parry has one at Doral when he holed out for the win from 18 fairway.

      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.

      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.
