Looks like a decent field this week. Rose, Bradley, Watson, DJ, Spieth, Mahan, Dufner, Kuchar, Poulter, Oosthuizen, Westwood. Also, seems like there are some European tour players in the mix: Molinari, Olesen, and Dubuisson. Should be a good tournament.

Commonly won by shorter hitters an good putters. I like a sleeper guy like Pat Perez. Played real well this year, decent putter, shoulda won a few weeks ago. Harris English and Brian Davis also decent putters who I could see win. But who the hell knows

Sorry I fell asleep watching Freddie's swing :-D

That Harmon kid has crazy amount of forearm rotation in the backswing. His face angle is parallel to the path at or just past A2.

I watched him for a half hour, just puring every shot.

Yeah same thing with Brian Stuard, very odd takeaways because of how much they roll #3.

Good videos to check out with all the recent discussion in the Quickie Pitching Thread

I'm going to throw Jimmy Walker's name in there, dude is on a roll and he stated a couple days ago that this is his favorite tournament. Look for him to contend once again.

Looks like Couples & Dufner are using Trackman. Anyone else?

What's the typical percentage of those on the range using TM/FS on a Monday?

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

Thanks for the vids and pics Mike, wish I could be there.

Question? In post#5 there is a photo which looks like CH lll on the putting green.

What was the setup on the putting green?

(Putter had mechanism on lower part of shaft with a standup device perpendicular to the person on the green, connected to a laptop)

    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
