Mr. Desmond

Watch about 30 minutes of the championship last night. Couldn't watch beyond that.

The amount of time taken on the greens over each putt.

I think it was the Pierce / Hoey match.

The Pierce guy took forever over each putt, shot etc.

Just couldn't watch any more.

Hey I get it's the championship and all that but really how much time does it take to read a green.

If these guys continue to play like this when they are in the PGA then I will end up watching even less golf than I do now!

I'm sure will get blasted for this comment but it's my opinion.

Oh .... I want to add that I also think it looks stupid for these kids to be pushing a cart.

Flame suit on.


Saw this a lot with the women, too.

No flaming...

Maybe if they took AimPoint....

If I remember correctly, at least three players were penalized for slow play during the stroke play portion of these competitions.  Perhaps those same officials should have been involved in the final match play stuff too.

Agreed the women were really slow too. I think if the penalties for slow play were applies more then the coaches would get more involved and work on improving the speed of play for their players. I mean why isn't speed of play part of coaching just as swing mechanics etc. PS at least with the women sometimes I don't mind if the camera has to linger longer .... thermal nuke flame suit on.

I actually liked seeing these kids using the three wheelers. I love to walk, and use a cart. I play a lot, and since I srarted using one, it has really helped my shoulders, back and feet. These carts keep guys that can't carry anymore walking.These young guys using them might also inspire some guys to get out of a golf cart and walk. I agree that it does look different than the past, but sometimes, different is good.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
