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.

Are you joking? Today was incredibly competitive and dare I say intense. Especially the back 9.

It is what it is

Watched the coverage on Skysports last night and think it's one of the best day's action of Golf i've seen for a while. Some insanely good shots from both teams!

The best shot for me was De Laet's tee shot on 16th I think, where he just lobs it within a couple of feet.. awesome.

Half the time I look at the scoreboard it screws things up. Look at this:

I think they're using JavaScript and it sometimes doesn't fully load or something.

Interesting to see Phil with the SLDR driver.  The sole is blacked out.  Tiger's swinging really good, nice to see.

I think Price needs to split Grace and Sterne they are rudderless out there. Beat downs aren't interesting. A few are struggling on the US side too.

One of the differences between Prez Cup and Ryder Cup, everyone plays so you can't "hide" a player that is struggling.

The November skins games were more thrilling than this stuff. Ryder Cup has no money on offer for the 'athletes', rather like college football.  What about the Prez Cup?  Any money for winning?  If not, we need to question what these guys are doing, and why.  To me, it's all hype, branding and marketing; no real sport.  These guys are professionals, not amateurs, and are motivated, driven and measured by $$$$$$$$.

Disagree. Most of the big names on tour care about winning. When they get 2nd, they aren't as concerned about taking 1/2 million less as they are about not placing first. You think Tiger would play majors if they were for free? Oh course he would. Then you mention your watching Pigskins for this reason? Pretty sure those guys are under contract, winning / losing isn't directly affecting their paycheck. (Given a lot of winning / losing might, but not quite as dramatic as golf to say the least)

Sterne is getting a "rest' this afternoon. Sadly, he and Grace will be the SA team in the World Cup of Golf event next month. I can certainly think of another pairing I would prefer!

Are they trying to show as few shots of Woods/Kuchar and Scott/Matsuyama as possible? This match would have been cool to watch, but I did not see more than 5 full shots in the last two hours...

Ah, there we go. Great second into the 15th by Woods.

another US vs whoever competition event... and once again the US getting SPANKED on the greens. What a joke. Ryder Cup last year, Solheim Cup, and Presidents Cup. Why can't the US sink some effing putts?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
