If I had a dollar for every time I've heard Tiger say "I got stuck between patterns", I'd prolly make more money than he has this year. So sick and tired of hearing him say that.

It's actually a running joke between my friend and I for over a year.. When ever I don't play well, which is often, I say, well I am changing my swing, what do you expect! ;)

That was a pretty amazing performance by Rose on the 72nd hole...drive into a bunker, hit someone in the gallery with your approach shot and knock him to the ground, go up there and deal with him, turn around and hit a great pitch, then sink a knee-knocker of a putt to force the playoff.  He had a lot going on there and showed some real focus.

Congrats and kudos to Lingmerth.  The kid bucked the pressure and kept it together all weekend to stay in contention, then held his own against a determined, seasoned veteran in the playoff and ground out a good win!

[ETA:] How about the Erik Compton story?  That has to be the most amazing story of the entire weekend: http://www.cbssports.com/golf/eye-on-golf/25207898/erik-compton-randomly-met-the-aunt-of-the-person-whose-heart-he-has

I was there Thursday as a spectator and Friday working Shotlink on #7. Tiger's ball flew right over our heads and was the only player to hit one outside of the ropes off the tee that day. I was joking about the short bunker in front of us that nobody would hit, but then Justin Leonard put it in. Camillo's ball landed 3' from me as I was curled up in the fetal position waiting for it to hit me in the bum. I helped John Huh find his ball in the opposite rough since the marshal wasn't paying attention. It's good that I saw it bounce and land because you could hardly see this ball standing right over it. Not even a thank you... The highlight of the day was marking DJ's measly 352 yard drive.

I didn't get many pictures given the phone and camera policies, but I did sneak a few.

Cink's ball. Gotta love the rough there.

Shot of the 18th green from the pavilion.

My hole early Friday morning getting prepped. It's amazing to watch. All bunkers are hand raked. Fairways are mowed and then a team of guys go over it with blowers to get rid of any clippings. The rough is NOT mowed, but I imagine you would need a powerful mower with very sharp blades. The greens were mowed and rolled in the morning AND the afternoon after play. Finally, the rough is combed with a rake to remove tire tracks from equipment.

As I was walking across the fairway back to my car, I grabbed a closeup. So pure...

I'm always amazed at what we can make some simple plants do…

Is it expected of you guys to help find their balls or you did it out your good will?

No. That is the marshal's job. If this guy wasn't chatting with his friends outside the ropes, he may have seen it. Our job is to shoot the balls so they get reported back to TV talking heads. They don't care about a vast majority of shots, but when Tiger sprays one left, they are immediately on the radio trying to figure out where it is.

"Control to 7 short. Where is the shot on Tiger's ball?"

"7 short to control. We will have to wait until the hoards of people leave to take the shot."

They were on the radio A LOT looking for Tiger's balls. He definitely got the grand tour of Muirfield Village last week. ;-)

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
