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

It's pretty invigorating isn't it?

I'm all giddy like a school girl.

Pretty incredible the peace of mind that can come after getting out of a relationship that you know won't work. Good for Rory. Hope he carries this to the US Open....actually, no I don't, I want that Jet Speed Driver lol

It does make you wonder the impact Wozniaki had on his game. The guy just hasn't been his best the last two years and all of a sudden he breaks up with his gf and he wins.

I think you'll see Rory a little more relaxed now....not as worn out. I've heard some rumors that Wozniaki was getting a little wild and crazy the last year (hence the red hair) and Rory was distracted. I know he's had some good finishes this year, but let's be honest....a lot of those good finishes came when he was out of contention. This was only the 2nd or 3rd time in a long time he really thrust himself onto the scene Sunday and he finally was able to close it out.

So happy for the dude. I'm more than ok with everyone talking about Rory for the next week etc. I'm curious who will be the first to ask the question we all want to know...

Also how weird and awesome is two par 5's for the last two holes?

The redesign of the 18th certainly sparked more than its fair share of criticism, but golf is essentially a conservative occupation and it was always going to take time for people to get used to it.

Personally, I think I'm coming round to your thinking Crim. I've never been the hater of par 5's that so many people are when they're set up like this pair and offer genuine birdie chances on the classic risk and reward scenario. Wentworth is perhaps most associated with matchplay and I'm sure the management and Ernie had that in mind. Indeed, Luke faced exactly that connundrum today on 18, but found the water. I prefer to think of it as drama, with many more possibilities in play that the extra shot affords a player, and us as spectators. The original suggestion that it was a whack and two pitches is clearly wrong as the green can be reached with two strong and brave shots

If it's any consolation, Gleneagles has a sort of similar hole strategically positioned at 16, where players who trail perhaps by one shot will be asked to make the decision

I think I like it as a finishing format

He'll take the high road and say no, but I truly think it was. There were too many rumors out there he was worn out and spending more time traveling around with her than focusing on his game. This will defintely relax him and make him focus more.

That girl was Kirsty Gallagher, cousin of Stephen and daughter of ex Ryder Cup Captain Bernard Gallagher.

She actually looked the least smoking hot I've ever seen her, but still.....

      I’m not sure I’m following you. My current plan is to take the bunkers out of play completely and hit something like a 6i to 130-150 range.

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
