You don't mind if I do discuss it, do you?

Guy shoots lights out with a putter that will be illegal - isn't that worth any discussion?

No, because it isn't illegal yet. Plus, there is literally zero evidence to suggest that those who use belly and long putters are better than those who use short putters.

Is there a correlation there somewhere?

if he wins from behind its because he has a lot of it...

LMAO! He's just too easy to make fun of. I really disliked him last year, but he is growing on me recently...can't hate the way he plays golf. Makes tough shots in huge situations. He'll finish top 10 here, I'm almost sure of it.

I'd bring it over to one of the already made long putter threads. It just creates to much mess here in the Bay Hill thread....and to be honest...it's beating a dead horse.

Apparently Adam Scott was experiencing flu-like symptoms this morning.

Lumpy - aka Tim Herron, making a play for the weekend, after shooting an opening round 80.

Currently -5 for today, through 12, projected cut is +1, so he will need to get a couple of more birdies & hope that the field doesn't go low and move the cut-line.

Players play, tough players win!

Only one 'trapper picked Adam Scott to win the Masters, and with a -6 finish at that.  But consider: #2 in the world (behind the injured TW), defending at his favorite tournament, and in his last year to putt with the cheat-stick.  Hmmm...

What are the odds of someone winning B2B tho? I think that is the major deterrent ...for me at least.

What in the sam hell happened to McDowell today? +5.....ISH.

In other Irish news....Paddy posts another respectable 2 under on the day. MAKING CUTS BABY.

Two more players have withdrawn...Rory Sabbatini and Jeff Overton.

Interesting that Bubba withdraws because of "allergies" after a round where he drowned 3 balls into the water carded an 11 and isn't ripped for faking it, being a quitter or only "withdrawing" because he was playing poorly.

It's just Bubba being Bubba...

I was disappointed to see Ryo Ishikawa post a 74.  He went out early today and had a chance to position himself very nicely for the weekend.

It's Bubba, not Tiger. That's the difference, we all know Tiger is the king of quitters *Sarcasm*

I was rooting for Ryo, enjoyed watching him high up the leaderboard yesterday.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
