It's that time of the year again. Tiger and Phil are in the field, and so are a bunch of other nice names to make this a tournament to enjoy. If there are pics, please feel free to post them. I wouldn't mind living vicariously through pictures of Torrey Pines.

I've been moderately following the PGA Tour so far in 2014, but things really heat up this week at Torrey Pines.  The PGA Tour season is about to pick up, and I'm ready to see how things turn out this weekend.  I'd love to see Phil and Tiger battle it out Sunday, but there are quite a few other top golfers in the field.

I guess I don't really know understand what the north and south course thing is about. I saw the Humana Challenge last week also utilized a couple different courses.

Gary McCord and Nick Faldo are talking up ground forces, push off the ground for power pretty hard. Saying that 1, 2 extra hp to the standard 4 hp in a swing according to them, coming from what Chamblee says is no good.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Lol, are they really using HP as a term???

I might be wrong, but I think it may simply have something to do with allowing them to have a larger field.

Yep. I have no idea if a standard swing requires 4 hp. I thought 1 person was like, 0.5 hp? Whatever.

Currently (with several players still on the courses) there are only 3 guys in the top 25 who played the South course today.  Pat Perez (67), Charley Hoffman (69), and Brian Stuard (-3 thru 15).

Likewise, only 4 of the last 27 golfers in the tournament played the North course.

Kind of demonstrates the difference in difficulty of the two.

Tigs with some loose swings today... Distance control on some longer putts was shaky.

I admit it, much as I idolized Faldo as a player when I was young, as a commentator his Peter Allis impersonation is starting to grate on me, now.

Isn't that running? That doesn't necessarily mean a human can't produce more doing something else.

    • Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for. 
    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?     
    • I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.
