I think he's hit 9 fairways and they're just now on 15. People have odd perception.

odd perception indeed.

+1 three to play, I think he might make the full 18. Glad to see him back. What happened to Major Fowler? A top 5 looks hard to come by now.

Fowler has just not materialized the way I thought. All the hype and only one tour win to show for it. A bit disappointing thus far. It's too bad because I like Rickie.

... You know he just came off a nine week layoff, right?

Probably not a good idea to take five or six swings and draw a conclusion from them.

You're right. He is gonna break Jack's record.

Rickie was hyped for the same reason Adam Scott, Charles Howell, and Aaron Baddely were hyped; he was a young, handsome, hardbody that the powers-that-be wanted to be good.  It was never so much about golf ability as it was looks.

I second that. Seems his personal life and hot piece of girlfriend has his mind elsewhere. I thought after last year he would have at least 3-4 top 20's so far. When I saw him live at the Duestche Bank he seems dialed in to his shots. Granted they don't have him featured alot this year I don't see the same shots being made.

That couldn't be further from the truth.....

Did you forget Rickie's performance at all four majors last year? Try and tell me it was his looks that made him finish that high and be in the top 20 world wide rankings.

I'm with you. I have a feeling another year or two with Butch and he is gonna start knocking away at that disappointment hat.

    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
    • Wordle 1,092 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Day 175: 6/15/24 Putting practice through gates, and some chipping indoors.
    • Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.
    • So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.
