Reading up on him today. Yeah. Defintely rooting for the guy now. Not a BB watcher so never heard of him.

I was going to have Finau round out my 'three" but decided against it...

Side note, I don't think Matt Jones' wife is wearing a bra today...

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

We are seeing so many new golfers like Tony Finau and Anirban Lahiri ... Tiger effect?

And I agree Tony Finau is not really a late bloomer.

Just had a look at look at the flyover videos on the website,looks fantastic. Watch out for Kaymer on this one.

He's a class act. I think This Major will go to Day or Rose.

Damn! Schwartzel almost a two...walks away with four :-(.

Schwartzel has so much talent but his putting is absolutely horrid. It's kept him from winning so much more.

Do you think Tiger is done with his career?

He's not done playing golf, but I think he is done as far as winning majors and contending in majors. Its the Tiger effect, he set the bar so high that now you are seeing all these good young golfers come after him.

Strange leaderboard. While you have you have a few big boys up there, you've also got a lot of "Where the heck did they come from" guys, a real "where did he come from guy" leading.

I never was a big Tiger fan...I'm 46, so I've watched him play since he turned pro. Having said that, I would never wish ill on anyone, so I never rooted against him. I think it's sad the way his game is in the toilet. But with all of the new and up and coming players, it's easy to watch fabulous golf!

PGA is the worst of the majors. I make sure I have second screen viewing or record it. Continuously Broadcasting S**T. Another commercial? I'm done.

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

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
