Was watching the father / son tournament this weekend when Fuzzy's daughter Gretchen tried to swing for the fences and missed.

Decent swing too. Very odd.

Hard to believe that happened really. You can see her pull her head out of it way early though. That's embarrassing for a beginner on the local muni, much less on national television in a pro event.

So according to @Fourputt , he never started play on the hole and even if it did it wasn't played in accordance with the rules, so he should mark down a birdie because he's like a +5, so… :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Bold move by dropping the ball and hitting it in mid-air with the putter head. Had he missed it would have just amplified the amount of fail in that video. He hit the ball when he didn't want to and then couldn't hit it when wanted to. Fortunately he seemed to strike it well

Yeah saw that on the replay last night, Fuzzy's reaction is pretty funny.  No problem, they still made birdie on the hole.

@iacas what Key do you think she was missing? :-P

I was thinking of the 0th Law of Thermodynamics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics. But lets go with the Kung Fu Panda thing. :-P

Methinks that somebody is dorky like me and just really likes the word "zeroth" ... because isn't this:

" The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other."

... really just the transitive property? :beer:

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer?? I got scammed one time on FBM so I don’t trust it.

      Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
