Woah, super chunk by Rose.

Reminded me of me. Very impressed by young Fitzpatrick. If he puts on a few pounds of muscle and adds 20 yards to his drives, he might be a bit special. aargh! While I'm typing this he's touched the ball at address and got a penalty.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

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

Awesome shot by Fitz on 9 though, would have been sweet to see a HiO

Doh, then misses the putt.

Tremendous morning leader board! Don't think a 1st timer wins it this week.

I'm really rooting for Rory, Henley, Dubuisson, Matsuyama, and Na. I would do a chicken dance if Matsuyama wins!

Don't tell Brendon Todd that. Guy's boring as hell to watch, but been playing very well since the Byron. Seems like a US Open style player.

I'm not sure if wearing a hat with a Logo might jeopardize their amateur status. Anyone?

No hat but does have the PING staff bag with his name on it ;-)

Damn you beat me to it

Not to sound like a stick in the mud, but these majors need Tiger to give them that special feel.

Not a stick in the mud. I completely agree.

I will still watch and follow but it just doesn't have the same allure.  I bet the TV ratings will show that mightly....  I haven't heard anyone talking about the US Open this year.

    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.
