I moved this to Tour Talk .  Wind really causes problems, even for Pros.

Taken from weather channel.

N 18 mph gusts to 28 mph

Looks like it's blowing much harder than 28 at times.

Apparently, Aaron Baddeley shot a hole-in-three on the par-4 17th: he pulled his drive into the brush, had to take an unplayable lie, then aced his second ball.

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...

Position on the scoreboard is what counts. Forget about scoring relative to par.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Somehow, despite 17 having a TV tower and Baddeley being high up the leaderboard, it doesn't appear that cameras were rolling.

This is killing my fantasy golf team. Hopefully everyone is having an equally crappy week. I'm guessing that points are awarded based on score relative to par and not others.

Nope, points are based off "Low round of each day" Charley Hoffman's - 5 under par 20 points.

I had only one starter, score 12 points for my team.

My other three starters -

Kaymer shot 82 - "Goose Eggs" - 0 points

Dufner shot 79 - "Goose Eggs" - 0 points

Hahn shot 80 - "Goose Eggs" - 0 points

      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.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      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?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      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
