Good for Angel. One of my favourite golfers on tour; his story is amazing.

A mate of mine was speaking to Nathan Green who said that Cabrera was by far the best ball striker he played with on the PGA Tour.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

 

 


I missed the part of the broadcast when they told that his sister was in bad shape but I could tell from the post round interview that something was very serious. I didn't know until just now that she had passed away. I'll be rooting for him too.

Absolutely love Cabrera.  On another note, did anyone else catch the hilarious comment that Faldo made yesterday about Colin Montgomerie?  Towards the end of the day, Bubba Watson was acting ridiculous about someone with a cell phone when he was walking around the green, and the announcers were insinuating that Bubba is way too sensitive to things in the gallery.

Faldo said, "I swear Bubba has 20/20 hearing. I don't know how he even hears the click of a cellphone camera."  Feherty then says, "I think he has the most sensitive hearing out there, except of course for Colin Montgomerie."  Faldo comes back with, "Oh, David, Colin could hear a sheep changing his mind on top of the hill."  I thought it was a hilarious freaking comment. Guys are entertaining. Faldo has a dry sense of humor, but comes up with some good ones from time to time.

Bubba has got to cool it with that stuff...some times I get the feeling in his mind he thinks of himself as a Happy Gilmore type guy on tour but when he freaks out over phones and fan movements on the course, that couldn't be further from the case.

And listening to Faldo always entertains me. Despite having one of the greatest golfing careers out there, he doesn't take himself too seriously.

I agree with both of your comments here.

That was Funny! I laughed out loud

They corrected themselves later, it was an 8 iron. If I dreamed of hitting an 8 iron like that I'd wake up and apologise.

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

    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle.
