Makes you appreciate Zach Johnson's game even more. Specially after his chip in just now, spent hardly any time and just chipped it in. Take some notes Andrew SLOUPE

Wow. Texas bunkers look just like Quebec bunkers.

Nah.  Quebec bunkers are currently full of snow!

They just put Loupe on the clock. Its about time! That guy has the worst pre-shot routine, very slow player.

Johnny Miller said he would quit announcing if Na, Bradely, and Loupe was in the same group. LOL

I can sometimes forgive a player who takes a long time IF they hit a great shot... sometimes, but when they take forever and then hit a $h!t shot it is too much to take.

"While we're young" becomes "Before I kill you" pretty quickly.

Announcer (not Miller) just said "Loupe is NOT the reason this group is behind." Then went on to imply that it's because nobody is hitting fairways lol? Suuuurrreee guys.

[quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/73489/2014-valero-texas-open-discussion-thread/60#post_969344"]Gratuitous shot at Tiger - QUICK [COLOR=A52A2A]@everyone[/COLOR] drink a beer!  This is an awesome game! :beer:   We should play every sunday.

That wasn't meant to be a shot. It was meant to be a joke. :-D But there also is some truth to it. Once Tiger retires, they'll have to do something to spice up the game or their ratings will plummet.[/quote] FYI: jokes are supposed to be funny

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Loupe and Kuchar are off the clock now. I'll agree with @DEsler , I can understand a slow/"delibrate" player if they hit great shots after their mind finally settles into the shot.

One of the few things that can make me quit this game is slow play. I can't do 6 hour rounds, just can't.

Good for Bowditch. But my gawwwd this year is a drag so far. Slow play, no namers winning, and good players sucking. Hope at least the majors will be rewarding.

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

So it looks like another week where we have a new champion and a star player

Agree. This has been a very boring year so far. It seems like every week a big name is in position to win and blows it (McIlroy Honda, Dufner-Doral, Rose-Valspar, Scott-Bay Hill, Kuchar-Texas) and then a no name wins. I really hope the Masters provides some drama. I really don't want to see a John Senden-Matt Every Sunday showdown for the green jacket.

    • Day 55: 2026.03.04 Backswing work, trying to pull everything together, slowly at first.
    • Day 519 - 2026-03-04 Got some work in before lessons. Mostly downswing. My backswing is good.
    • Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer?? I got scammed one time on FBM so I don’t trust it.
    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
