After day one, Lowry and McIlroy are leading at -6. Luiten had a decent start and is at T12.

Two of the winners of other tournaments in the Final Series 2014 are on the bottom (Siem at +5, Koepka in last place at +6). Donald (+4) and Manassero and Poulter (+3) also with bad starts.

YOU"RE ALL WRONG , he just did squats before his round, that's why!

Yea, but he landed it about 40 yards short of the pin. The water was another 10 yards behind that. His shot went 294 yards, but he landed the ball about 250.

The rough could have helped him if it was a flier lie as well. Launch it a bit higher with a tad less spin. Let it roll out more.

Stenson takes the lead after the second day after a solid -6 (-10 total). McIlory is in second place. Luiten shot a -3 and remains at T12 (-5) and still has chances to finish good here.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Ball below the feat. Hitting a fairway wood. Probably didn't want to thin the ball, so he dug after it a bit.

Yeah when pros hit shots like that it's usually with a fairway wood. I think the last one we saw like that was Stacy Lewis.

Geoff Shackelford said he topped it but it looks like he duffed it.

I think so to. Usually when you top a fairway wood it doesn't fly nearly as well as that. The roll on the face which takes off loft and how deep the club is, it is very hard to get any height on a fairway wood when topped.

I think he hit it slightly fat with some wet conditions. The announcer said it his foot could have slipped. I don't think it did. He just outright miss hit that shot.

WEIGHT FORWARD RORY, WEIGHT FORWARD! :whistle:

Just watched it again, his foot didn't slip. Golf is hard, I think there's a golf book that talks about that ;-)

I like this part of the description in that link:

Instead, he hits the weak fairway wood shot that is all-too-familiar to many of us amateur players. It usually happens to us after we've waited a few minutes for the group ahead to clear the green though.

Been there. Many times. :-$

Looked like he was trying to hit a cut, maybe came down a little too steep?

Nope, stuff happens. You compare that swing against a fairway wood that he purred and they'll look exactly the same. Hmmm, maybe a potential thread.

Just watched Justin Rose 'chili-dip' a short chip.  He was on an uphill lie and buried the club 3 inches behind ball.  Ball went 3 feet. Then he took a hybrid club and rolled it on. Close too.  Commentator was embarrassed that the world's #7 golfer would do such a thing.

He did that at the US Open or one of the other majors this year too.  Golf is hard.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
