On another note, when is the PGA going to wake up to picking US venues that may favor the American squad a little more from a weather standpoint? Basically the entire team lives in South Florida and v

Kudos for spelling.  You know, though, that there are a ton of people confused by your post and going "huh?  Europe is usually the winner of the two teams."

Looks like he's been hitting the ball well. Not reading putts or executing so great, though. Decent, but not spectacular fight in that fourball session.

He really has been. He was supposed to be our biggest gun coming in and has been nothing but a liability.

The Americans just can't make putts.  We make a couple putts here or there but it seems as though Europe is automatic from 20ft in

Haha, it's funny how fans see it. I was just saying the same thing to my gf about Americans making more putts than us (she didn't care).

Like him or not, Reed is doing all the work in that match.

Haven't seen much of Spieth...

Hard to show off those putting talents when you're constantly not hitting fairways or greens

Agree.
He can't seem to get his ball off the tee and on the fairway...

Apparently his right hand is troubling him. On pain killers because of injury, according to Dutch tele.

Ah, ok, didn't get that. 
Oh well, Reed didn't really need him today, it seems. How good is he playing?

Out of his mind good.  He was made for this type of golf.

Those Westwood putts on 17 and 18 can turn out to be quite important. Damn...

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
