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.


I think the reason for using multiple courses is to benefit early season (less daylight) playing, If they only use one course, then the afternoon field may not complete their rounds, due to darkness.

Also on the west coast, they often have "fog delays" which really screws up getting rounds completed.

It also enables a larger field of players to participate, especially when having Pro-Am events.

Next week at Pebble, the event is played over three courses.

Somewhat bold prediction: the winning score on Sunday is going to be -8. Same exact score as the day 1 leader.

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

According to Wikipedia: When considering human-powered equipment, a healthy human can produce about 1.2 hp briefly (see orders of magnitude) and sustain about 0.1 hp indefinitely; trained athletes can manage up to about 2.5 hp briefly and 0.3 hp for a period of several hours.

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

Don't they have to go to the bathroom at some point?

After watching Tiger yesterday, I'm beginning to wonder about him  wining another major.  Big issue; putting.  He just doesn't read putt very well now.  Driver is as troublesome as before, iron may be rusty for the first game but the putt is something he used to be above and beyond.  Now he looks just average PGA pro.

I saw some misreads yesterday, but 27 putts for even par at the south course doesn't exactly raise alarms FOR ME yet.

Tigers whoa's yesterday were drives running just slightly off the fairway into the rough.

That lead to missing greens and when he did hit the greens, he had long putts.

He did miss a couple of opportunities for birds, which didn't help.

It's still early, he has the game to light it up.

Spieth is doing better today, but Walker is still in a funk paired with Tiger.

This was clearly Tiger's B- game. Where would most players be with their B- game?

I think Phil is playing with his B game also. he said he was having back problems. I have a funny feeling that a "dark horse" may win this..?

Both Tiger and Phil look very uncomfortable and "average".  I mean one guy won 8 times professionally there and the other guy 3 and lives right next to it.  Maybe they can bring some excitement for weekend.

Well, Jordan Spieth is leading, so that should provide enough excitement for some.

The average pro wins 5 times in a year?  Do you know how many pros have EVER won 5 PGA Tour events in a single year?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

maybe because 90% of the audience wants to watch him play ? maybe since 90% of the last 17 years of golf are tiger built. and therefore 99% of the anouncers buying commercial time want to have him on the tube.

could also be that 50% of the pay raise for todays winners are due to tigers attraction.

he's the man. many want to watch him win or loose.

did you watch rory win the us open ? what a dull play ! nobody cares. nothing sells.

I like to watch Tiger when he is contending, I don't when he's not. I would just as soon see the guys leading, playing good golf on the given day.  I really don't give a rip what the manufactures/sponsors want, but money talks. I'm in it for the play, not the celebrity.

I hope Jordan get the coverage today.

Jordan Spieth is something special.  I hope he can continue to play at this level.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
