Trump is excellent at knowing the  what wealthy want, like and will pay for. But is clueless about the average Joe golfer, what he/she can afford, and will pay.

Tiger won't win this one or the next, I'm betting against him winning a major this year, I'm not a hater, I just don't see it with his current play, blame what you want, injury, swing, either way its quickly diminishing his chances to rack up number 15.

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

I do like the tougher Doral. If you're going to call yourself a "monster", at least make it tough. I think scores will be better over the weekend with lighter winds, but don't expect 63s and 64s. I still think come Sunday there won't be a lot of guys who finish under par. The greens are still like lightning.

It's unlikely, but hes 6 shots back from the lead. One hot round and he's right in there.

I don't ever count Tiger out, when he is 100%, he still is the best player out there. Regarding Majors, there is no rule you have to be winning regular tournaments to win a major, in fact, I seen to see players every year win a major and nothing else. You do however, have to be playing 100% at that time. If Tiger can come at 100% (or even 90%) to one of the majors this year, he has a chance. I get he isn't as consistent of a winner as he once was, but a lot can be attributed to injuries and age, when he is feeling good (like last year), we still got 5 wins from the guy. So I ask, who do you honestly think is a better player than woods when woods is playing well?

Obviously this will change dramatically, but 3 of my favorite players (McDowell, Rory, and Donaldson) are all tied for the lead at -1.

YESSSSSS

I was just about to post the same thing. Tiger's working his way back to even too. This tourney is still wide open after that crazy day yesterday. Go Rory!!

Looks like they pulled a few teeth from the course for today. I wonder if that's in response to all the player grousing or the lack of wind? It appears 4 or 5 under could be leading after today's round.

They didn't make the course easier. There is no wind today, which explains the lower scores.

Wow. What a bunker shot by Tiger.

JM never seems to miss an opportunity to take a poke at Tiger regarding his rulings.

I don't blame Miller; Woods has been questionable with rulings over the past year.

Not really. He's been appropriately punished for the ones he made mistakes on and has no history of cheating (in golf). Miller brings it up more often than necessary.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      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.
