Luke Donald looks like Mini-Me playing next to Brendon De Jonge with them both wearing white pants and bright blue shirts.  Crane must not have gotten the fashion memo.

Be nice to see young Jason have a win again, with his health issues this year he had some set backs, defiantly has the ability to win on the big stage.

My dislike for Chesson Hadley is growing and growing because of that stupid "snap" thing he does. Sorry...but I hate it.

Dad?

I laugh every time. Underrated subplot: How legitimately pissed Tiger Woods is after losing to Fallon.

Yup. He got a week off from all the travelling and is back, firing for the victory.

The wheels fell off for Patrick Reed, three straight double bogeys.  He's +10, not exactly Top 5 scores.

Not sure you'll be seeing Mr. Reed too much on Ryder Cup Friday and Saturday. He has not shown much since the Cadillac that gives you much confidence to play him in the Doubles matches.


I have to say that I thought he handled todays disaster with more class than I thought him capable of. He had one of those days where every poor shot turned into a catastrophe, getting buried in faces of bunkers rather than falling back onto the flat. We've all had days like that, and I'm not sure that I was in the mood to fist pump anyone at the end od it, as Reed did with his caddy after bogeying 18. He has an unfortunate face, which along with his ill considered remark about being in the top 5, makes him very easy to dislike, but I thought, from the limited amount we sawof him today, that he dealt with it well.

Hard to say. They stopped showing him after the 4th or 5th hole. For all we know, he could have been throwing clubs and cursing up a storm. Who knows. He's one of those guys you either hate or you have no opinion of. Not many guys in his corner.

That being said, I didn't like Billy Horschel at first, either. He had a bad temper and was a pain in the butt. In a year's time, he looks like he's matured a lot. So it's doable.


That's true, but I suspect that if he was throwing tantrums we might have seen more of him for entertainment value alone. I never thought I'd be a Reed apologist, but I thought his fist pump at the last was worthy of comment. He does himself no favours with his perceived arrogance, but hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes.

He has awful pants.

    • 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.
