I've often wondered why the pros don't practice like that.  Have people talk while they putt, yell during their backswing, click cell phone cameras, etc., just to get used to it and learn to block it out.  Not condoning boorish behavior by golf fans at events, but the pros know there's going to be at least some noise no matter what.  I'd think if you spent enough practice time dealing with it, it would be a lot less bothersome during competition.

I can think of one.

    • Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.
    • Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.  
    • Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing. 
    • Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook  
    • Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.
