So I guess I'll get this started. 18 man field, actually it's a 17 man field plus one Tiger...world rankings points to be awarded, no cut, at Islesworth, which Tigs knows like the back of his hand, new swing coach, you know you love the drama. Anyways, GO TIGER!!!

Those rankings are not accurate. Stenson is 2, Bubba is 4, Spieth is 11, Tiger is 24, Bradley is 31  and Stricker is 39. Probably a few others off as well.

Disclaimer....I've never played Sherwood. I have played Isleworth a couple of times though. Very good course, always in pristine condition, but I always found it very playable, albeit from the tees that play about 6700 yards. IIRR there are 2 sets that play longer......7100ish and a stupid set of "Tiger" tees that are well over 7500. Greens were always perfect. Fast, but some pretty subtle breaks.

I'm sad it isn't at Sherwood because I enjoyed going there to watch it! Now I have to wait a full six weeks or so to attend a professional golf event. But I'll bet Tiger's glad it isn't at Sherwood; the area is experiencing some terrible weather today.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      Why wouldn't it have? It's not like you were playing it as a 145yd par 5 and made a 2 or something.  Or not like it was playing 50yds to a temporary green or something either.
