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.

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

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.

Have you ever noticed that the only people who ever use the word moxie are sports broadcasters?

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.

    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
    • Let's kick off the 2026 Masters talk with… a look back at 2025 (coming soon):
    • Wow, so Europe named Luke for a third term. Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Who will the U.S. name? I hope not Tiger Woods.
    • I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
