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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
