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...

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

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!

I agree with you. Who the heck is Matt Jones??

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.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
