Kudos to Eldrick for recovering from that debacle with 3 birdies. Curious to see the rest of the tournament.

Soft greens and low wind, someone just about has to shoot a 63 today.

Scott Langley at -8 through 17 holes. Par on the 18th will give him a 62.

Amanda would be proud


Did Tiger do well with the long stick?

Bogey on a par 5, and a double or he'd be near the top... and I don't mean Amanda's top.

Let's just say it actually looked like used the brain above his belt and not below it for the first time in two years.

Just saw the highlights for Tiger's 66. :-D [quote name="Mr. Desmond" url="/t/82957/2015-greenbrier-classic-discussion-thread/36#post_1163579"][QUOTE name="ChrisP" url="/t/82957/2015-greenbrier-classic-discussion-thread/36#post_1163561"] Amanda would be proud[/QUOTE] Did Tiger do well with the long stick?

He was playing well in 2009 when he was near the top of both the leaderboard and various women.

Jeff Overton was -1 coming into the 16th hole....he rinsed three straight balls. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/126599/] [/URL]

TW Said he is not at all surprised by his score today. And knew he was close. As much I would love to believe him ,not sure I'm buying it . But I'll definitely take it.

I think part of that is him just trying to be positive about the work he's put in and from everything that was reported at Chambers Bay, he was hitting it very well on the range. So he figures it's a matter of time until he starts doing it on the course. He's not working hard so he can keep shooting in the 80's ;-)

Also part of having a good mental game or whatever is being a little delusional about the bad rounds and not letting yourself get too up with the good rounds.

I say Tiger (his oft injured body) folds on round 3 & 4.

His body has been fine since the Masters.

Maybe there's a correlation there with his sudden turnaround. :-D It worked for him the last time, right up to that....unfortunate....incident with the Cadillac and a 9-iron.

Scores not quite as low as some thought...play resumes after a short rain delay. Lowest round on the course is Ricky Barnes at -4.

Several players at -4 so far and Garrigus at -5

Yeah, just as I said that Garrigus starts killing it. EDIT: He just made double to drop him in a share of the lead with Danny Lee and Scott Langley.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
