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.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
