I felt this way for a while but after listening to Tiger's interview it renewed my irritation... We've had these player interviews for years, and why can't they get a decent microphone system setup so that you can hear the questions asked by the reporters in the press room so that you can understand what questions the pros are answering.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Agree, very weird to watch.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I believe NHL interviews don't mic the reporters either, but for whatever reason I can always hear the questions. Maybe just better acoustics? Aren't PGA pressers usually in a big tent? That would explain the poor acoustics compared to NHL which is generally in a press room.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

+1. Pressers would last twice as long. Big fat yawn.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

"Yes, can we get Jim a mic? Please someone pass that one to Jim. No, sorry, the other Jim. Yes, Jim in the red shirt. No, that shirt is magenta. Please just pass it forward. Two rows up. Okay, there we go. Jim?" "Jim from NBC. So Tiger, how's the swing?"

They can use an ambient mic.

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By billchao ·

      There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.

      But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
