See [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/70855/2013-wgc-hsbc-champions-discussion-thread#post_914630]post #15[/URL] Nike Covert Tour 2.0, it's not listed as a proto though.

By "proto" I just meant "pre-release." Guess I should read the whole thread next time. ;-)

why is Tigs not playing in this???

Because he doesn't need to. Ranked 2 in the money list, so will definitely qualify.

A lot of the people competing this weekend are doing it to get into the top money ranks

WGC event = no appearance fee, unlike the Euro Tour event next week in Turkey which he is playing in.

That would be an apt summation of the field Tiger's going up against in Turkey. It would be an embarrassment if he doesn't win by six strokes.

I fell asleep on the couch last night watching the start of the third round. I woke up when DJ was making the turn and he was 18 under after shooting 30 on the front, and he had a six shot lead.

II was very surprised to see that he was still 18 under when I checked the scores this morning, with a few guys within hailing distance.

Ian Poulter's hair is scaring me. He may win, but I will fear for my safety as he is doing so.

Johnson wins with -24. Poulter at 2nd with -21, GMac in at -20. Sergio follows. Johnson pushed the others off the table  with a long iron (260 yrd off the tee)  at 16, then chipped in for eagle.

I just couldn't stay awake for any of the rounds but I did catch bits and pieces. Hard to really develop any allegiance to DJ, just too damn dopey looking, but you can't argue with a man that post a -24 on the tourney.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Does anybody else find it entertaining hearing some of the Chinese fans reaction after a good shot? lol

Do you mean polite, respectful, and engaged as good fans?

(not yelling stupid crap and dumping beer on each other and being obnoxious like in the US and Europe?)

Yeah - it's entertaining.  They really seem to be appreciating good shots.

What there some kind of moisture in the air, or was that smog? I didn't see any clouds, just grey everywhere. I don't know if I'd want to spend a week there.

It looks like a breeze winning by 3 but from reports it was tied going down to the last 3 holes where DJ eagled and birded 16 and 17 to get back into the lead.

One of the announcers mention that the air quality was listed as "unhealthy". Considering that a recent LPGA tournament was delayed due to smog with several of the players wearing surgical face masks while playing, I would guess that the general air quality in China is terrible. When you watch tournaments from China, you never seem to see the sun or any shadows.  No EPA air quality restrictions, just burn whatever you want and crank out the cheap goods for export. I would not be surprised to see plenty of lung and respiratory disease among the Chinese population in the near future. And plenty of them still smoke!

      "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.
