He's from Málaga, Andalusia.

Well, that's what I get for talking out of my ass. :doh: (LOL ... looked it up on a map and not only is Malaga not Barcelona, it's about as far away from Barcelona as you can be and still be in Spain.  He's more Morrocan than Barcelonian)  What a dumbass.

OHW-ST-HOW-ZEN

Pronounced as it should be from it's 'Lowlands' origin.. stayed pretty well the same in Afrikaans.. as you say accent on first syllable, slightly on second .. I haven't heard a commentator anywhere apart from Dutch ones pronounce it correctly.

I don't know why commentators aren't instructed in how to pronounce names properly, after all that's their JOB.

Completely agree.  I've always wondered this.  Just go ask the guy if you're not sure.

So the players were in a smash the glass competition at St. Andrews. Gary Woodland almost took out Spieth. Good thing he wasn't in his downswing ;)

Oosthuizen has actually said his name is supposed to pronounced WEST-hi-zen. He has said he's fine with the way people pronounce it now, though.

A lot of people seemed to take an easy cheap shot at DJ after the U.S. Open 72nd hole, claiming he was a poor putter. If you watched him at all this week and still think he's a poor putter, you're out of your damn mind. Dude can blast it off the tee and putt lights out.

It has nothing to do with what he did in the open.. He is 125th in strokes gained putting.. That's reality..

He's also 2nd on tour in putts per hole. That's reality.

Did I hear something about Adam Scott running late for his tee time this morning?  Just caught a blurb of it this morning but may have mis-heard.

Doesn't that mean he has a pretty good short game allowing him to 1 putt often because he is getting it next to the hole? There has to be a reason for the disparity between being 125th in strokes gained and number of putts.. Isn't that the reason putts per hole stat was basically sidelined by the strokes gained stat because the first isn't as good a measuring stick as the second?

Johnson has the opportunity with the winds down to really destroy the loop today and separate himself some. His putting doesn't have to be spectacular this week....he keeps bombing it down the middle every hole, he could rout the field. You just get the sense DJ is about to explode here.

That stat tells you nothing about how good a putter he is. Strokes gained putting is the best putting statistic.

Terrible stat. A golfer could miss every green in regulation and get up and down for par 18 times and he would have 1.0 putts per hole.

Who cares about stats....the putts are going in this week. And the way he's driving it, he may be keeping Jordan from getting the Slam. He hasn't even hit the loop yet. He'll tear that apart.

      Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
