Haha if only... But looks like he's playing very solid. Almost 75% fairway hits this tournament. Man I hope so much he will play this whole tournament high on the leaderboards. He really needs a good finish on such a tournament once.

Are there many golf courses in The Netherlands? I lived in Germany for a few years ('86-'88), about 2 hours from the border so went quite a few times but don't ever recall seeing a course or a sign to a course there.

I guess not as many as in USA, but I don't feel like that there are not a lot. From my house alone 2 courses within 10 minutes, en where I play and train now it's 25 minutes away. I think we have a fair amount of golf courses. Mix of park, link and forrest.

Just being a father since 2,5 months, I really should go to bed now. Hope to see some birdies when I wake up, playing very solid again and in top 10 now. Come on!

Holy cow, our boy Joost used to be a ski jumper.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? In Holland. Anything over 5 metres is considered mountainous

Ha, no doubt, I was surprised too; just heard it on the telecast.

It did occur to me that if Joost makes a move then they'll be all sorts of researchers desperately scrambling around for information on him tomorrow. Well Google index things based on content and recent activity amongst other stuff, so if we keep posting Joost numerous times and accompany it with spurious facts (or darn right lies) we could start something

Joost Luiten excelled in science whilst at school, founding the Uttrecht space agency and building 'Tulip One', the Netherlands first rocket from the spare parts of his sisters bicycle in his fathers shed. The rocket was housed inside a windmill (95% of dutch people live in windmills so it never aroused suspicion). Although it was regarded as a pioneering adventure, Joosts pet dog, and test pilot, did make the ultimate sacrifice when Tulip one failed to reach orbit on its only launch. Joost, filled with remose for the astronaut abandoned space exploration and took up golf.

The tulip isn't indigenous to the Netherlands incidentally and originates from Afghanistan

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
