Soooo....seems like not too many people care about the playoffs this year.  Cant say that Im all that enthused either, seeing as Tiger and I went 0-fer this year in the majors.  Oh well, we'll see if he can do anything this week.

Notice how someone accomplished a feat only five players have done in PGA Tour history, and maybe one of the best ten rounds ever, and we're all arguing about whether Tiger's ball moved. Jim Furyk de

Seems to be getting updated minute by minute.

Nice find!

Also, if it's any wonder how those guys hit it so far, all you need to see is how high they get on their feet:

What happened? Rickie/Dickie Fowler is playing my kind of golf- opening with two double bogies!

Looks like he finally drained a long putt to close out the day though.  I'll watch it later when I get home.

Yeah, another typical eye-rolling moment...he missed three short ones earlier...should be at -7 or even -8...

Wow, you were right.  He missed three 4 footers over the last six holes.

I think he also missed a 5 or 6 foot putt on the first 9 for birdie.

In his defense, there was at least one of those shorter putts that had a lot of wind. From a guy who once lived, and played a lot of golf in the Windy City, that can really play mind games with you when you're trying to make a steady stroke and you're getting blasted by the wind over a 5ft or less putt.

Yeah but that putt broke left, against the wind. Either a misread or a pull, I think.

      "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.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
