Bubba put on a show today!! Love it when he's on.

Anyone else think Gary Woodland seems like and absolute d**k? On that short par 4  he chipped it to 3 feet, Bubba still had to chip on and Woodland wouldn't mark his ball even though it was right in Bubba's line. How some people feel and big Phil, I'm starting to feel that way about Woodland. Reminds me of a spoiled jock in high school.

Saw Bubba do the same thing to Phil last week. Phil had a short putt to putt out, and was going to when Bubba walked up to his ball and to play it, Phil stopped, mid way to setting up, and then marked his ball, he clearly wanted to finish and get out the way.

It was the type of putt that most would finish out.

The other player left his ball there as well on the other side of the pin .Considering the difficulty of the shot, and the possibility that Bubba"s ball could run across and off the other side of the green, I would imagine that Bubba didn't mind that the balls were left there. If he didn't want it there, couldn't he have asked for a mark?

Young Hideki crawling up the leaderboard! Can Bubba hold these guys off? My thoughts are no...he's too all over the place.

We shall see though!

Yeah, you're right. Watched it again and realized it wasn't a "dick-move" like I thought when I first saw it.

Staddler is amazing with his irons and lag putts. I can't believe how many 4-7 footers he has missed tho! Talented guy...imagine if he was in good shape, or at least had his weight under control.

Meh.... Can't putt when he has both hands on the putter... How about Bubba thinning that chip... Crazy

Also, check out the winner's bag:  3 year old Superfast driver, 12 year old Steelhead III fairway, S400 shafts in all irons and wedges.  Would fit right in at the local muni.

I recall seeing an "in the bag" with GMac, about a year ago, he had a few non sponsored clubs and one pretty old club. Will search for a link. I think Pros carrying old clubs is more common than we would imagine, after all, they're golfers and it's hard to say goodbye to a club that you like to hit (especially when they've got the resources to keep an old club in perfect condition).

Here's that link, it's his hybrids that are "non sponsor" clubs.... He quickly moves on without talking about them too much :) I've see other "in the bags" were he completely avoids mentioning them, I was surprised he let it slip in this one. He doesn't say they're old clubs but I'm fairly sure they have been in his bag for years. Link [video]http://youtu.be/PcKCDQpkKN4[/video]

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      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.
