Yeah, it's not bad. They're making a few mistakes here and there. Buck and Norman sound a little rusty at times, but as long as they show golf and show different players, I'm happy.  I love all the different angles on the course.

We have to give them time to become cohesive.   Probably shouldn't judge them harshly for the entire broadcast this year.

Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

?? I don't understand. Molinari is even par through 7...? I have him as my sub.

It's a glitch on Yahoo's fantasy leaderboard; it still thinks Molinari's in the first hole. I see what he's seeing.

If you are having problems with the USGA stream and using IE.....try switching to Chrome....worked for me.


Sadly, where I work, they only have Firefox and IE as web browsers and don't to install programs.

Ouch, the struggle is real for Bubba.

He's trying to play the contours too much, to the point that landing a few feet off target leaves him in the worst possible position. He may be in last place at the end of the second round, or he may shoot ten strokes lower tomorrow. That's Bubba golf for you.

It must be a yahoo glitch, guys, don't use the Yahoo fantasy golf as your leaderboard :-D

Joe Buck must be out of shape.  Yeah, Cole Hammer is young.  But he jogged swiftly for about 25 yards.  Like that shit requires Olympian level fitness.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

hahahahah, i laughed at that too.

Lot of golf left I know, but If Phil keeps playing like this he's got a great chance to finally wrap up the US Open.

I hope so. He was my Vegas pick this week. I put 20 on him so I'll be having a few pints of beer Sunday night if he wins. Put a little on Jordan and Rickie, too, but not as much.

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      By billchao ·

      Yea that’s a positional shot. Otherwise it’s considered an approach shot and you would have missed the pin short by 90’.

      By klineka ·

      Question for the group regarding positional shots.  I had one in my last round where I had 286yds remaining into a long par 5. I don't have a club that can reach that, but I still was able to hit 3 wood and advanced it 260yds leaving myself just under 30yds to the pin.  Is that considered a positional shot? I wasn't "going for it" because I had no chance of reaching it, but I wasn't necessarily trying to leave myself a certain yardage or get back in play or anything. (Btw I then hit the pitch shot to 3 feet and holed it for birdie on a 575yd par 5 and gained 1.19 strokes compared to scratch and 0.79 vs a Tour Player on that hole alone)     Also something else I find surprising is that for my tee shot on that hole, which was actually with a 3 wood due to where water pinches in, went 286yds (sloped fairway got me some extra roll beyond my normal 260 range) and just trickled about a foot or so into the left rough and per strokes gained I lost 0.02 strokes on that compared to scratch. I get that strokes gained doesn't distinguish how far in the rough it goes, but I was still a bit surprised that hitting it 286 in the rough is considered worse than average off the tee for a scratch player.  I was curious so I moved that tee shot into the fairway, then it says I gained 0.10 strokes compared to scratch. The 3 footer I made for birdie on the same hole gained 0.14 strokes compared to scratch. Moving it around a bit more, 290yd tee shot in the fairway is 0.10 strokes gained but 294yds is 0.21 strokes gained? I don't get how an extra 1% or 12 feet more on a 290yd drive makes 0.11 difference in strokes gained. I thought I understood strokes gained pretty well but that seems a bit odd to me that a 286-290yd drive in the fairway isn't as "above average" for a scratch player as holing a 3 footer is.    Edit - Did a bit more poking around and am even more confused. A 247yd tee shot in the fairway gained me 0.05 strokes but 286 in the rough loses 0.02? 40yds further ahead but in the rough cost me almost a full tenth of a stroke? That doesn't feel right (or I don't understand strokes gained as well as I thought I did)
