Looking forward to the newly renovated Doral…

Will Tiger actually play well? Will Rory bounce back?

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Nice to see him smile. Hope we see a lot more of that this year.

I had forgotten about this.  Now I remember ... Donald Trump bought the place and the re-did it after last year's tournament. Here is an article talking about it, and below is a photo I found on Google that also demonstrates some of the changes:

Should be fun.  And I agree with @David in FL .  Rory will play well, and Tiger probably won't.  (But lets hope he does!)

No thanks, that's a really bad bet. Second favourite odds and the man hasn't performed well since last fall, not to mention he is *supposedly* injured.

Given that he's not even confirmed that he's going to play this week, I think I'd take that bet!

OK, I should clarify more.

If he decides to play, I think he'll win.

About time he puts four good rounds together.

Why is your first instinct that Tiger is faking this injury?

I think he'll play well. I hope he wins.

I don't know, the fact that he was playing poorly without any noticeable signs that he was in pain. But it's just a guess and nothing more than that. For all I know, he might actually be severely injured.

He was seen stretching out his back (or trying to) several times, including on the first tee, in an exaggerated fashion.

Hm. My mistake. I'll defer to your ability, tmac20, to ascertain the pain and mental state of Tiger Woods, since you clearly have insight that I don't posses. It's not like we have the same access to the same information or anything.

This is one of my favorite tournaments. All in all I love the Florida swing because its usually pretty chilly in Georgia around this time and it makes me jealous of their weather :-P

Again, it was just an opinion. I have the right to state my opinion no matter how incorrect you think it is. :-)

      Your Golf Game - The Uplifting Topic

      By StKildaSenators ·

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.

      I definitely have a better outlook on BD after watching his YouTube channel and his appearances on Grant Horvath’s channel. He’s an odd character but he loves the game and is considerably more entertaining than Scheffler and many other PGAT players. I do however continue to see Koepka as a total douche.    I’m pulling for Rory but won’t be disappointed if BD wins. It’s just a damn shame he’s with LIV.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game.

      Simple, Specific, Slow, Short, and Success - The Five "S"s of Great Practice

      By WillieT ·

      As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.
