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.

But it's boring when there's no one to root against. Luckily we have Bubba.

I'd love to get more of this. Much better than the commentators yapping for four hours.

Just watched it. Definitely like it. I remember a few years back the NHL announcers went on strike so we got hockey with no commentary, just amped on ice audio. It was AWESOME!

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Be careful what you wish for. They had Bubba miced up in the Grand Slam of Golf in 2012, and he whined his way through the round. By the end of the round it was like listening to nails being dragged across a blackboard. Even Harrington began to grate.


Gary Woodland -7 through 9 holes. Good to see, he kind of faded into obscurity after the first couple months.

All is well until he flubs two chips and 3 putts from 15 feet.

hahaha, very true.

About the mic thing, I'd also enjoy that more often. In fact I wouldn't mind Bubba mic'd up more often. It'd be nice to show everyone how much of a whiner he is.

The way Kirk has played with McIlroy the last two days, you have to think he's raised Watson's eyebrows a little bit. Probably not enough, but a good showing by the kid nonetheless.

Haha...well, I don't mind Bubba's "whining." I'd rather listen to him whine than read people's online whining about his whining lol.


Everyone in contention right now is fairly lackluster. Henley is kind of fun to watch, fast/aggressive player.

Horschel is a pretty decent guy. That's about all I can say haha.

He wears awful pants. I'm rooting for Geogilvy.

I'm rooting for Geogilvy.

omg, he got soooooo lucky right there. Awesome.

Not sure how many of you follow baseball, but I'm a Tampa Bay Rays fan and can't help but see a similarity between Mr. Kirk and Brad Boxberger, the Rays reliever/closer:


Kirk is boring. But good for him. Nice victory. Was rooting for Henley; I like watching him play.

    • 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.
