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?)

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.

Tiger in the par-3 contest. Tiger returning for the Masters. I'm like a kid and it's the day before Christmas. Or the day before Christmas Eve. Whenever the day that I get my first present tomorrow is.

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: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
