So basically this works for me. Fox works on IE on Win 8. USGA better on Safari on OS X.

Norman's ok so far, not saying anything out of left field or talking about himself. Nice hearing someone other than Faldo or Miller. Hearing them for too long.

Looking at pace of play, the morning guys look to be heading around at least a 5 hour round...probably a bit more. Rory's on his 9th hole of the day and teed off just over 2.5 hours ago. Phil's played 3.5 hours so far and is on 12. That's not great for the morning wave. The afternoon groups usually finish 20-30 minutes later because the course plays tougher and you tend to get a few more backups. I don't think we'll a 6-hour round, but I think they could get close. Tiger may be finishing right at 11pm tonight. EDT.

He's making me very angry.

Colt Hammer's bunker shot was gorgeous, almost identical to Rory's except Hammer's rolled to like 4 inches and Rory's to 4 feet.

Pro-tracer from the middle of the fairway? Has that been utilized before? I swear I've only seen it from tee shots.

Joe Buck just called Chambers Bay a links course about an hour after Tom Weiskoph did a segment on how it's not a links course.

There was an article on Buck the other day that I read and he admitted his golf knowledge is not spectacular. He's kinda learning as he goes. At least he's honest. I remember when Musberger did it with ABC at first and he admitted the same thing.

    • I'd just get the Stack Radar. I've never been totally comfortable with how it measures, those things. I think people put them in the wrong place. I think it's highly sensitive to where you swing… if you swing the tip end through the radar "beam" (it's not a beam, but you know what I mean I think), you get the true speed. But if you swing the spot 6" up the shaft through the beam, you get a much slower speed. For the wedge stuff alone I recommend the Stack Radar. Plus data entry is SOOO easy.
    • Does anyone else have the swing speed radar and had the experience of it going completely haywire? It’s been decent for me until the last 2 weeks. I’m now getting readings on back to back swings that are 20 mph off. I’m getting absolute garbage from it - I have to swing many times to get something close to right. The only thing that works (sometimes) is taking the batteries out. Here's the radar I'm talking about: Amazon.com : Swing Speed Radar - Achieve Longer Drives - Delivers Precise Golf Club Swing Speeds from 20 to 200 MPH. Master Consistency with Our US Made Doppler Radar Training Tool for Instant Speed Results : Golf Swing Trainers : Sports & Outdoors Thinking about just biting the bullet on a stack radar at this point.
    • Sorry, I missed your original post. Glad things are looking up with your wife's cancer. That's scary. Hope you can get back in to swing of things this year. I travel to Richmond quite a bit for son's soccer. I will reach out to see if we can get out together during one of the visits.
