Wow! Phil played LIGHTS OUT today, that was awesome! He is finally putting some really good rounds together, and that 63 today was great. He was driving the ball well. After missing the Masters cut, he comes back first tourney and plays well. That is Phil, he can turn it around at any time. GO PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a stretch from hole 3 to 8: birdie birdie birdie birdie eagle birdie. -7 for just those 6 holes- I'd say he was in the zone.

Remember a ball commercial a few years ago where there is some statement about dimples and at the end JB Holmes hits a ball and makes the statement "Well, there's a dimple on it now". That dude just hammers the ball. I'm no expert, but his swing looks more conventional than Bubba's, and certainly the ball flight is more conventional.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Congrats to Holmes. He was one of my favorite players to watch back when he was good, so hopefully this gets him back to where he was.

Yes I agree, no top players are winning, except for Bubba in the Masters. I can't believe Phil fell apart today and didn't play well. That four putt from like 6 ft. was a killer.

Never the less, JB Holmes had a great win, that guy can just flat out smashes his drives. All day he was 50 yards past Flores.

When Golf Channel kicked it over to CBS, they had commentary about how the final group was nervous. They showed Holmes taking a minute on his approach on #1, implying that he didn't have his stuff today. They strongly suggested the winner would be a proven guy like Phil or Justin Rose who would keep nerves together. Looks like that final pairing did just fine! Well done.

Holmes is just very deliberate. Didn't get put on the clock, but warned.  Not jumping around like he has icy hot in his shorts like Bradley, but I think he takes longer. They were teeing off on 17 when Phil was already on the green on 18.

Would be cool to see Holmes and Bubba playing together.

If Phil had made his putts today like he did yesterday, he could have been   20 under. Sad to watch after the great round he had yesterday. .

Am I the only one that thinks the camera work was terrible on golf channel today?

And I think someone was trying to see how many times they could cover the cup with the golf channel logo when someone was putting. Out of the way when they put it in the top corner of the screen. I don't know why they ever put it at the bottom.

Ahh...here is the commercial that I was talking about earlier. Actually thought the whole thing was pretty well done, and JB's delivery of his line was great:

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
