That's ridicules.. Anyone else try it?

It was a bit more doable than it looks - he hit the fairway before the green which is a big downslope. Still nuts, but you can at least understand why you'd take it on!

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

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

Aha.. That makes more sense.. I figured it was just a green surrounded by rough

McIlroy twirls the club. On his practice swing.

Jason Day's pre-shot routine is ridiculous. It takes forever and sometimes he even wiggles his ass.

Sort of freaky if you ask me.

Wait.... Why are you checking out his ass?

Did you guys watch golf before Tiger cheated on his wife?  Every minute was about Tiger and how great he was, even when he wasn't playing in the tournament.  .

I didn't get into golf until 2013.

Generally speaking, I just don't root for teams/players that the media is shoving down my throat so I probably wouldn't have been a Tiger fan back then.

I can sort of tolerate all the media attention Tiger gets now because I like comeback stories and I hope Tiger can come back and be at the top of some leaderboards next year.

I don't understand how these guys get extension in their follow throughs like they do and the contortion. So awesome. It's like they reach their club and body into the sky. Is it just for looks and a result of high club speed, ingrained since childhood or is it actually functional and important?

I've often wondered the same thing. It's probably pretty important.

My swing looks nothing like that. I have more of an alligator-arm follow thru.

Probably a good reason why I SUCK!

This is a good Sunday Funday. Jason swings like a controlled maniac. I swing like an actual maniac.

This layman says way more functional than aesthetic.

Day high traj, Spieth low.

Why do I get the feeling Grace is going to ruin my day (no pun intended). He's the Retief Goosen of 2015. Sneaky good.

Ugh please no.
