Sergio made him wait a long time on the 6th hole. He took 2 drops cause he was almost on top of a bee hive so Rickey had to wait a long time on that hole. So 7 which was the next hole he said half? Meaning I'll give you your 17 ft putt if you give me my 5 ft putt. He said he felt bad making Rickey wait that long and that's how he made up for it.

OH ok ... thanks.  That seems pretty cool to me.  Way to go Serg!

(You're still a dick for losing and blowing up my bracket though ;))

Am I the only one that thinks Sergio was scared of the 5 foot putt?

According to the Golfweek article, he had a bad childhood experience with bees, which caused him to take more time on the previous hole. Bee-phobia!

Louis O v. Jason Day should be a great game. Ernie and Spieth is also a nice old stager/new blood encounter*. Back in the day, when he could still putt, nobody ever wanted to get Ernie in matchplay.

(* Jordan was 1 year old when Ernie won his first World Matchplay in 1994. :-\ )

Oostie just stole that second hole. Not everyday a player hits his drive into a cactus, then wins the hole with birdie.

So would that be called a "prickie", similar to a "barkie"?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Okay well I am going to post this here because I imagine you guys could sympathize... I have to say if I see the damn Lexus commercial one more time I am going to put a brick through my tv.

The Staff Duo commercials have effectively achieved in creating a very annoying spokesperson...

Rickie is looking seriously serious out there.

Brat? I see you're from France, what do the French generally think of him?

I love to watch him play. Has there been a lot of media attention around him lately with the good play? He's become a favorite of mine but no one will ever take the place of G Mac....sorry Victor....hope you lose....in extra holes!

french love him we have never had a player in the top 50 GWR *

I dont like him the thing is some of us "lucid players" have heard him crying on his coach to not practice putting, or work golf normally etc..etc...

I just dont think he has the attitude and risks to waist his talent such as kim, daly, or in a less heavy manner garcia.

*for reminder the french all time best are Thomas Levet shortly on the pGa, the historical mega lose of van de veld on the final 18th hole of the british open (you have to see that mega lol), and in 2010 a player made 2nd place in the US open, pretty much thanks to 10 000 clutch putts for qualification and a sudden ability to play golf for 4 days.

we do yet forget we have one major winner in very old ages of golf, but it's so old it doesn't count. I beleive his name was jean garalaide.

Wow, Spieth is really off today.


It seems like Spieth gets impatient on Saturday and Sunday's. He starts beating himself up and doesn't look as confident. He still plays okay but it is a constant struggle all day. I watch way too much golf.

Honestly it was more like Spieth lost it...

G Mac beaten by a Frenchmen :~(

That's ok, for me it makes Sunday 1000x less interesting though. I do enjoy watching Victor, I honestly hope he wins the whole thing, him or Fowler. I believe Victor is playing the better golf out of all 4 right now.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
