Rose hit a shank into the gallery. Makes me want to not hit a golf ball today.

After hitting a women in the head at a driving range two weeks ago, I haven't had the urge to play golf.  Messes with you mentally for sure.

I think McIlroy really should have played a week ago or the week before. His game still wasn't sharp after Bay Hill. You look at Jordan and he played two weeks both coming in and got some nice momentum and confidence for this week.

Rory hasn't looked on all year.  That's the thing that will keep him away from winning 14+ majors.  He isn't consistently good enough.  He is either 100% unbeatable or rather pedestrian.

It wouldn't have been so bad if you hit her with just the ball and not the club!

Because they arent allowed to show the front nine at Augusta...

That hasn't been true for decades. They aren't near the top of the leaderboard, they aren't in danger of missing the cut, and they don't have low rounds on the course right now. There are more compelling groups to follow at the moment.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

One observation I made is that these guys play very well when they're just playing golf. It's hard to explain, but you know it when you see it. I look at Speith, Hoffman, and to an extent Tiger, and you can see that they're just hitting the shots they see. Not much in the area of forcing anything. Speith and Hoffman especially look like they have zero pressure on them.

Now, are those 2 playing good golf because they are relaxed, or are they relaxed because they are in the groove and playing good golf, or perhaps a combination of the 2? I think it's a combination.

Just looked at Spieth's scores for the year.  Only two rounds over 72 all year.  I wouldn't pin too much hope on a collapse from him.

Yah, it's decent as a supplement to the action, but it's definitely not where to go for the action. Interesting to hear from Jordan and Tiger though. Was that a dig from Tiger? "Or Augusta could leave conditions as is for the weekend, and just make this a shootout."

I'm streaming on the laptop while listening to the interviews. Nice to have options.

That might be the only chance to make this thing close. If they toughen it up, everyone struggles but Speith still leads. They keep it soft and maybe someone else can go for 64

Ha, sure it is.

Thats why they pick up the live streaming at Amen Corner.  Augusta NGC doesn't want the first nine to be shown on TV/streaming.

Yeah, count me in the group that thinks you might be wrong on this.  Several years ago, they absolutely didn't want the front nine on tv, as they had some sort of complex about how they didn't think it measured up to the rest of the course.

That isn't the case anymore as they will be on air this weekend for 5 or 6 hours each day and show every shot of the leaders.  (And that has been the case for quite a few years now)

If they still have a special rule in place specifically for ESPN on Thursday and Friday, I wouldn't know, nor would I understand why, but they're not afraid of showing the whole course anymore, that's for certain.

It's not that they don't ever show the first nine, they just don't show it much, at all...

If not, explain why the live streaming starts at 11.  They have live coverage of Amen Corner and 15,16.  Nothing on the first nine.

Not sure I agree with that. Look at Pinehurst with the US Open. They made that course tough and Kaymer still won by 8 strokes. Some people are just on their game.

Doesn't help that they are going to get some Heavy T-Storms this afternoon and evening. Looks like the course should be pretty soft on Saturday.

Still, it doesn't take much to get the ball rolling in the wrong direction that course. One round of even par or +1 for Jordan and he'll bring in a lot of people into contention on Sunday. Lots of golf to be played.

Not sure about the TV coverage. That could be something with ESPN. Maybe ESPN has the rights to show the front nine and the back nine, while the Masters can only show the back nine. I am sure ESPN has that much power. Even if you watch a featured group online it is only the back nine.

I will if you explain how your "they just don't show it much at all" coalesces with the fact that they will show the entire rounds from the range to the scoring tent of the last 3 or 4 (or maybe a few more) groups tomorrow and Sunday. :beer:

Seems like Spieth is on fire for this tourney. Good for him. Looks like Rory and Jordan will be having some fun rivary next few years. Oops. I hope I did not jinx Spieth with that comment.

They dont though...

They only show the whole round on Sunday:

Saturday, April 11 (Third Round) - 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. (CBS)

Sunday, April 12 (Fourth Round) - 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. (CBS)

it's only 4 hours of coverage tomorrow.

Whoops, my bad.  That's going to change things drastically.  I apologize  ...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
