with that much of head drop, I would be hitting it fat most of the time.

Has Tiger always had that much drop? Like what did he look like in the early 2000's?

I know Rory has a decent amount of drop too.

I think Phil is gonna have a big week.

:beer:

he has done well here in the past, but i really think that age and his RA are really starting to catch up with him.  its funny that the older he gets, the less i hate him.  his douchery has diminished as he has matured.

Phil's awesome.

Hey, nice to see PHarrington in the field.  He won that tourney in Indonesia a few months back and retired to swing 2000x per day.  I guess he has it all figured out now.  Now, i'm pretty ignorant, at times, but i wonder how could anyone expect to be a great orator by reciting the  alphabet 2000x per day.

Hmm, who is Scott Harrington?  PHarrington is the only Irishman in the field, all the others in Dubai.

Indeed, it's also nice to see Jamie Donaldson, wonder if he's pretty much switched from the Euro Tour to PGA this year...

Hello Everyone,

New guy, turning 50 something. Dont get a chance to golf much anymore, bad knees and costs. Live right in the hub too in PSL...

I do follow the tour and like to join in contests... I do have a question and complaint about the tour.

First - My Picks for this week.,

You have to include B. Steele as he does well here and comes in this time off of a good finish. last 3 here are 6th, 6th, and 5th (none of these finishes were after a good week) In fact, the Humana was two weeks before the previous 3 and he had a 56th, 66th, and missed cut.

Matsuyama

My question is ... Why do they make new comers suffer so much on Tee times... Especially good players off of the Web tour. Not fair - like last week most of those guys stuck at the end of the day... Just feels like it would be so hard to get to the top, once there, they make it easier on those guys...

@Quadhole Welcome to The SandTrap! Glad to have you here. Good insights on Brendan Steele, I didn't realize he had done well here recently. As to the tee time issue, it is what it is. They reward the bigger names and that's how it been for a long time. One of the perks of being an attention grabber for the Tour.

Welcome! :dance:

I'm not sure what you mean by new comers suffering on tee times?  Having never played competitive golf I'm not sure what you mean by it.  Would you please elaborate for me?

Yeah. I wouldn't put my money on winning or contending though. Not even making the cut. He's been out of golf for too long, and I always expect him to struggle in the early parts of the return to professional play.

He missed the green on 16th and skulled the bunker shot into the grandstand. Maybe he was trying to make someone shut up. :-D

E: Besides the CBS stream of no. 12 and no. 16 that doesn't start until mid morning.

    • Ass clown status? I have a lifetime exemption.
    • Dude, if you don't pull driver on every non-par-3, you are going to lose your ass clown status. 
    • Fair enough. You could be right.  Although, Cam Smith, to his credit, admitted it. His quote was something to the effect of "LIV Golf ruined my game. I have no drive what so ever to practice." I'm paraphrasing a little, but that was basically what he said. 
    • Okay, I gave this a try today.  Just for clarity sake I used a "Spin-the-wheel" picker ap on my phone to choose which order to do the distances. Then I used my Voice Caddie SC4, which I think is pretty good. Lastly, I used carry distance not total distance. I finished 9 over par.  The very first number generated by the ap was 125. Which I hit to 123 and made a birdie. I was like "This is going to be easy." Then I got the 160 which I hit to 171 and went from 1 under to 1 over just like that.  90 yards - par 95 yards - par 100 yards - par 105 yards - bogey 110 yards - par 115 yards - double 120 yards - par 125 yards - birdie 130 yards - par 135 yards - bogey 140 yards - double 145 yards - bogey 150 yards - par 155 yards - birdie 160 yards - double  165 yards - bogey 170 yards - bogey 175 yards - par Overall a fun little game. If you have an SC4 it will let you enter in a distance as a target and record your distance for you. Then once the picker ap tells you you've done all the distances you simply add up your score off the SC4 ap. Easy-peasy.  BTW - It was hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut out there today. 
    • On Saturday I played a short (~5900yds) but narrow course that has some quirky holes and very mature trees. Shot a 34-34 for a 68 on a par 71 which tied my lowest score relative to par at -3 (all time lowest round is a 67 on a par 70) and set my new record for most birdies in a round with 6.  That included a penalty stroke bogey on a par 5 and another sloppy bogey from 125 in the middle of the fairway. Hit a wedge from 110 to a foot on a par 4 and a knockdown flighted 9 iron from 140 to 2 feet on a par 3 for easy birdies. Add in driving it greenside on a par 4 and a couple tap in birdies on par 5s and it was a good day. Also helps that I made every putt inside 10 feet and only ended up with 27 putts for the round.  This is the SG compared to scratch and that includes losing 1.01 strokes approach on the 1st hole when I sliced a 5 iron into a hazard.
