This course they

I think it looks amazing!

He also said that the watering for a course of 7800yds is so much! 1) Has he looked at the TV yet? Does it look wet and green? 2) The PNW rains quite a bit during the winter, so its not being watered then.  and 3) its fescue grass which doesn't need a lot of water to begin with.  So, really, what course is he looking at?


Chambers Bay is Amazing and Gary Player wears Depends.

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

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

Dustin Johnson with a birdie and a tie for the lead again. Lots of golf left to be played. And I still can't figure out where the greens begin and end (I didn't watch yesterday, so that may be part of it).

Not trying to be critical here, but does anybody else find the Fox commentary a bit on the bland side?

It's like they don't want to screw it up and hear a lot of "I told you so" that they are playing it too safe. Greg Norman is being so much Mr. Nice Guy that whatever expertise he has just isn't coming out. Weiskopf calls a spade a spade, but everybody else...

Looks like the cut may drop to +4. Lots of players on the course at +3 right now and only 3 players need to drop one halfway the the afternoon session.

Fox's coverage in general has been pretty bad. Never thought I'd pine for the days of Johnny Miller.

I agree, seems like nothing interesting is ever being said

enjoying the open so far...course looks cool and its a nice change of pace from what you see every week on tour.  Glad to see Phil and Spieth doing well though it looks like being at the top of the leader board going into the weekend will be a bug disadvantage because of how much more difficult the course seems to play in the afternoon

What's in the bag:
Taylormade R15 
Callaway X2Hot pro 3W
Callaway X2Hot pro 20* hybrid
Mizuno JPX900 Tour 4-PW
Cleveland RTX 2.0 50,54, and 58 degree wedges
Taylormade White Smoke putter

It's so weird. Like, their best move is to throw a question to Weiskophf and just let him riff for five minutes.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?
