RE: Reed. I told the people that I was watching with that he was stooooopid for running on the bridge like that -  possibly losing millions if he has to w/d in the future with an re-injury.


I felt bad for the bridge.

(I like it when the players have fun.  What are they supposed to do?  live in a cave and only come out to play cautious golf?)

The glutes joke is never going to get old (to me anyway), so I am going to reserve the right to use it as often as possible (especially since it is still fresh in 2015 isn't it?). :) Furthermore, exc

Last time Rory and Phil played together in a major? 72nd hole at Valhalla. :)

Put Rickie in that bunch and get the whole band back together! I don't think you'd get many complaints.

I think the focus on Rory and his chance at the “Rory-Slam” or whatever they are calling it has motivated The Tiger to step it up.

It may have flipped the circuit breaker in Tiger’s head to the ON position.

Go Tiger.

They're calling it the same thing they've always called it ... the career Grand Slam. ;)

Now, if he wins this Masters, then they will be going bonkers leading up to the US Open and I'm sure they will be calling that the "Rory Slam," just as they called Tiger's 4 consecutive the "Tiger Slam."

And I hope you're right about Tiger - I so want to see him do well.  And Rory, and DJ, and JD, and Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth.  And a bunch of others.  (But mostly Tiger) ;)

That Spieth, Stenson, and Horschel group should be fun to watch too. Gotta think two or maybe all three of those guys could be in the mix.

What are the odds Reed gives Poults the 'shoosh' motion during the round?

And the intensity will be high.  (I think these 3 all are very friendly too, so I expect very animated and competitive)

Close. It was Portugese he's trying to bone up on for the Olympics.

Or maybe he's trying to get Portugese citizenship to qualify more easily, haha

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
