Yeah Nah is kind of a weirdo, but I like him. And I respect that has battled his "mental demons" so to speak, and is having his best year on tour.

Meh. Not a fan. I'd just as well watch paint dry than this leaderboard.

The question though is...will this C+ game become a normal thing?

Good point. I certainly hope not....

And the difference between Tiger and most of the rest of the crowd. Tiger is at even after two sub-par rounds. With his C+ game he's even. C+ for other guys means missing the cut by 6 strokes

Good to see a Tiger make the cut (barely)..... Now we can look forward to watching him play mediocre golf for another 2 days! :-D

Based on what? His confronting a heckler?

I can't believe you didn't have faith in his last putt. :naughty:

Poulter seemed nice enough to fans at Arnold Palmers' tournament......I don't like him whipping us in the Ryder Cup, but that's on us to play better....or those twitter comments about Chambers Bay?

You don't even have to leave this site to find examples.

He's routinely an asshat to fans at the Memorial, where most of my in-person observances have occurred. He often plays practice rounds alone, likely not 100% by choice.

Gotta agree, I follow him on Twitter and let's just say, he likes himself...a lot. Fun follow tho, kinda like Trump.

I have a personal experience/interaction with him that made me fully lose respect for him. That on top of almost every twitter post, interaction he has with people and just the overall way he carries himself. One can tell he is an utter *******.

    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂 
    • I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer
    • Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!
