Laughing at you, not with you.

Then he does Not watch golf regularly. How could you watch golf regularly and not recognize those names?

Yeah, because everyone knows who Ben Martin, Kevin Kisner and Jason Thomas are from all those trophies they've held up in the past. :roll:

Did you hear that nick? 5 of these guys on the leaderboard are first timers here. You really are making a poor argument for calling these guys as regulars.

Actually his Driver has been ok this week. Its his 3w that he has been duck hooking almost each hole it seems. He just hit a wonderful soft fade with his Driver on 5.

[quote name="ChrisP" url="/t/81776/2015-the-players-championship-discussionthread/240_20#post_1139808"] Every time he fools you with a good drive, he comes back and makes a disaster. He just made a mess of 9. Two doubles on par-5s today. That's ugly. [/quote] What does Tiger (or at least the perception of Tiger's fans) have in common with us? He thinks that perfect soft fade is his shot, and all of the blocks and double-crosses are the exception. The reality is the good drive is the anomaly. (Mostly kidding. Mostly.)

What are you calling a leaderboard Albert?  There are over 20 players within a few shots of the lead. Sorry that hurts you so bad.

Held my interest all afternoon, surprisingly. Should be a good finish tomorrow. Can we classify Jax as having the worst golf fans in America? Jeez, I've never seen a tourney with so many stop down moments from pros due to fan interference. And, heard a lot of stuff on TV the pro's didn't react to.

If you watch golf REGULARY, then yes you do.

More from you! It never ends, does it :-)

Since most Sandtrappers are fond of calling players by their first names........

Ben (not Crenshaw)

Kevin (not Na)

Martin (not Kaymer)

Scott (not Adam)

Justin (not Leonard)

Derek

Brian (not Davis)

Luke (not Donald)

etc. etc.

That's not to say you are reading their names for the first time,  but how many of them would you recognise if you fell over them in the street?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

You either know who they are, or you don't. There is no barely if you watch golf Religiously

I'm not going to get into a debate about how popular certain players are and whether people show know them or not. It's kinda stupid. Bottom line is this tournament has suspense as far as how many guys are battling for this thing tomorrow. It should be exciting in that regard and I'll be watching. However, if you're going to tell me this is a great looking leaderboard, I'll tell you you're full of spit. It's not. And having average players up there does take some of the excitement out of it. But there are some good players within striking distance that if they can shoot a good round tomorrow, they can win the title.

Captain Obvious says this tourney is wide open. One would expect the newbies to realize they have a chance, then most will fall, let's see who stays up there of the newbies.


Waiting for Sergio to go -5 again, and that puts him at -13, which has won several times.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

I would recognize every single player you mentioned if I seen them on the street. I also recognize what an unhappy ass hat you are. Take comfort  in the fact that not all women call their significant other shorty. I had a friend we called shorty but his real name was E.D.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
