Ilonen wins! What a shocker! (Especially after losing against Luiten in the first game ;))

Graeme McDowell is defending his title starting WEDNESDAY, against what looks like a fun and talented bunch of competitors. Henrik Stenson, Patrick Reed, and Super Joost among them.

You can say those players are the stars from the European Tour this year plus Patrick Reed. Five players from the winning Ryder Cup team (Bjorn is injured), Molinari, eleven players from the top 50 OWGR. It's not top top of the World (McIlroy, Garcia, Kaymer) so in that case you're right. As an ET follower to me this seems like an awesome field and tournament.

This used to be more of a star studded field. Used to love this event. Seems like the big names are staying away from it now.

I dunno, I really like the field this year. Incredible players. But yeah they are mainly Euro stars.

Match Luiten - Ilonen very high level so far. Two holes halved in birdies, Ilonen even lost a hole while scoring birdie. A/S now after 5 holes.

G-Mac is 2 up against Levy.

Wow, G-Mac got uncharacteristically angry at that second shot into the par 5. Slammed his club into the fairway. He's 4 up...relax dude, haha.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
