2015 The Honda Classic Discussion Thread

[dkolo]

some pretty sweet ProTracer clips from the Honda.  lots of Rors and DJ.

Speaking of which, the camera work at the Honda was unusually good. Especially on the bear trap holes, it was really easy to get a sense of what the ball was doing in the air. Usually it's pretty vertiginous because the angles are weird, but they had cameras directly behind the players and you could immediately tell that Harrington's first tee shot at 17 yesterday was leaking badly right and that his playoff tee shot was going to be right at the flag. It'd be great if they did more of that in the future.

Always love to see guys like Harrington win; dude worked so hard to get back to a competitive level. Hope it rolls over to the rest of his year.

Also, just read on Wikipedia that this was the second consecutive week that the player ranked 297 won on the PGA Tour. Cool little bit of trivia.

Interesting to hear the great Jack Nicklaus comment during the Honda classic.

""

As players were contemplating whether or not to go for it in two on a Par 5, can't remember which one, Jack said something like.."if you can pull it off 9 out of 10 times and the 10th isn't too bad then go for it. If you can't do that, don't try it."

Number 18. I don't agree with him. If you can reach it in two, go for it and aim for the left side of the green. You have a better chance of getting up and down from around the green for birdie than getting up and in from ~100 yards. Aiming at the left side eliminates the water unless you shank it.

What's the odd of that happening?   Probably, astronomical.

But this is the only sport that a 297th ranked player can win it all.  I don't know of any other sports which that can happen, and certainly, never two in a row.

Was rooting very hard for Harrington.  One for the underdog and over 40 golfer.

Dropping to 297th must be part of Tiger's evil strategy.
