So no early TV coverage?

It's on right now. Kinda cool that coverage is starting now and will be on all day so we get to see when the first group tees off and when the last group finishes on 18.

Right, that's why he finished runner-up in a playoff the last time this tournament was played here.

Jordan Spieth went to Catholic School and graduated from a prep school and has probably been a wonderkid in golf ever since his talents were recognized as a kid. Richard Sherman is from Compton

Geez what happened to Danny Lee? Went to bed last night thinking he had a chance and now he barely made the cut? Guess my full support is behind Day now this weekend.

@Iacas, just curious where you would begin if you were called upon to work with Tiger. I watch him and to me his swing seems like he's coming outta his shoes, otherwise I just don't see anything specific except rather poor results.


I think he's in good hands, and honestly, I haven't looked at his swings much since The Memorial, so who knows? I talked with Chris there and they were on a good track then, I felt.

About the only thing I could say is that I'm getting tired of hearing about how the range swing (not the tempo, Peter Kostis, as everyone speeds up range to course) is so much better than the on-course swing.

(BTW - your observation about the McGovern quote is correct.)

And Dubuisson is playing like he got a new start at this. -3 through 3 today. Under par -1, T37th place.

I expected him to play well. Anyone paying even a little attention to pro golf would think Bubba should have a decent week. To win, ??? That could go to anyone of 15 different players. Coming off a couple good weeks, returning to a place he played well in the past. Yes, it is expected of him to play well and finish top 20. At the very least make the cut and that is boarder line right now. Playing in the afternoon is going to add pressure and wind. He is going to be looking at a leader board that will have someone at -10.

I figure if he starts out first 3 holes +1 or worst, he folds it up for the weekend.

Wow, he just explained the same thing about himself... 60th or 80th, he doesn't care and wants a top 10 or a win. I look for him to make a run today, or shoot a 75... 65 or 75 plus for him today...

All the more reason for him to GO FOR IT today... he is one of my picks. He has really been playing well... I like most people, figured him and Lingmerth for a win and back off type. BOth have proven that to be wrong and playing well week in and out...

I would like to see some more bite in this course. It's playing just a bit too easy, in my opinion, for a major. Guys are going to tear his place up today. You could have 6 or 7 guys double digits under par at day's end. And yes, I think a 62 is out there. Just my view on it. I always liked a tougher test and single digits under par in a major winning.

I agree that a major needs to stay in the single digits for a true test to their game. I find it more entertaining to watch as well. Tiger thinks the course was playing a bit to easy as well. He would have made the cut if the course had challenged him a bit more.

It's amazing how often I come off the course thinking exactly that...

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

I don't know exactly where this fits on the Kubler-Ross scale, but I'm confident it's somewhere short of acceptance.

Tiger is playing Wyndham.

http://golfweek.com//news/2015/aug/14/tiger-woods-pga-tour-wyndham-championship-commit/

Maybe.

http://www.pgatour.com/news/2015/08/15/tiger-woods-missed-cut-pga-championship-wyndham.html

" Woods said he’ll take a couple of days at home in Florida before deciding if he will play in next week’s Wyndham Championship. He committed on Friday because the deadline to enter the tournament was 30 minutes after play was over, but he was still uncertain following his round."

They didn't expect the wind to la down. Increase the wind to 15 mph and you won't get a 66, 5 mph more and 68 is the low score. If they were to make pin placement to hard based on zero wind and it picks up, guys will complain... Tough balance they have to pull off each week.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Didn’t get back to a decent routine in November and December as planned.  I really need to get up earlier and get to the 7 am CrossFit class… but I’m too tired. Right now getting in 3 times a week. Going to get some swing speed exercises in too.  January-April should be Monday - Friday, load up on supplements too.

      My Driver Is Cracked?

      By Typhoon92 ·

      “The stuff legends are made of…” 😁 As long as OEM’s keep replacing them…. But if it cracks 2 years in, you’re screwed on the warranty. the Cobra Dark Speed driver gets rave reviews.  Haven’t heard of breakage issues.  Taylormade now came out with the Qi35 heads.  Absolutely stunning but it’s a carbon fiber sole as well as the face and crown.  I guess we’ll see.

      Day 71 - 2024-12-10 I spent three minutes trying to figure out when someone started calling me Yoda, even though he remains the only person to call me Yoda… then in a hotel room, I spent ten minutes while watching the 2019 Masters on YouTube (the TV doesn't have Golf Channel) working on my wrist conditions.
