is it just me or does this look like keegan? I know it isn't him but it's pretty close to what I would have expected him to look like as a kid.

Haha, me too. It's nice to see Tiger enjoying himself every once and a while ;-)

Pretty sure you have a minority opinion. We have meaningful golf in September and now October. And I've seen how much even Presidents Cup matches matter to players… they have money. Money doesn't motivate as much as simply wanting to win can. For your team. Your country. Yourself.

I went to the last four Skins Games when they were at Trilogy (My brother was an assistant pro there at the time). I really enjoyed those, mostly because there was only on group on the course and you didn't have to choose. The downside was that there was only two days of play and the other stuff was pro-am (Met Roger Clements right before the steroid scandal). I think the cups bring in a wider audience though.

Who else thought that Tiger's first reaction to the squirrel was hilarious?

Swing like bamboo in wind; ball still laughs.

It's a little bit surprising that there's no online coverage. On the course there are video displays everywhere so you can follow what's happening on other holes. Still, I didn't see Sammy the Squirrel until I got home.

How's it going guys?  Is this great golf or what.  i'm watching here in Asia where some sterilized broadcast is flipping between groups with hardly any good graphics or commentary. No course layouts or hole pix, or talk of the sweaty synthetic, but so pretty,  shirts on Woods, Phil and other USA guys. Sure, some casual golf shots, which like you and I at the practice range are Terrific shots but where is the competition and personal pride i was led to believe would be on display? OK, better than tennis or motorcars going round and round but me, I'd out to the course myself for a great 18.

I only watched for a little bit around 5PM EST, but going through PGATour.com got me to NBC Sports Live Extra (at least I think that's the right combination of words). You needed to log in with a cable provider, and NBC's stream was as spotty as ever, but it did work.

It's been an absolute delight watching Spieth/Stricker. If I had the option to choose anyone on the American team to partner with it would be Stricker, no question.

    • Wordle 1,633 5/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
