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

If In Bee Park wins, she will accomplish a career grand slam or is it a grand slam (winning 4 of the 5 available GS tourneys vs winning all 5)?

Conditions looking tough for the ladies...

Pettersen slipping a bit today on the front nine to lose her lead.

#7 is playing easy. By my count, is 51 under par for 73 players today.

#8 is playing 48 over par for those same 73 players.

A rollercoaster couple of holes there.

Looks like Lexi might move way up the leaderboard with an early -2 posted. Typical scores seem to be +3/+4. But the site isn't great to do any analysis.

Amazing comeback win for Park.   But can we call it a career grand slam?   There is one she didn't win, one that LPGA recently added.   Grand slam = 4 or all available majors?

She won it but before they called it a major. So yeah, career Slam in my mind.

I am still trying to figure out how Inbee Park averages 250 with that slo-mo swing. Good contact only does so much.

I was thinking exactly that when I saw her swing  on TV in today's round.   She has a slow back swing but it was pretty quick at impact.  I could almost hear a vicious "whiff" sound.

Anybody remember Julius Boros?  He wasn't a soft hitter, either.  But slow on the backswing ...

Played with a 60 yr old guy that swung same way and ball just shot off clubface 250-60 down middle.Not high or low just on a rope.Amazing what happens when you let club do the work and not put much into it.

I think it is this... Between the pictures her hands move maybe 5 inches and her club head moves maybe 5 feet... Lag.  (Interesting how far back the ball is at address when hitting with a driver.)

    • Most of people does it! (but none over the ball) Gave it time.. Hehe...  Funny story... almost a decade ago I started to aim 3..4 fingers away from penalty hazards on long shots. At 270 yards, each finger is around 10 yards sideways (I got to that number experimenting at my home course and using google maps). Been my dispersion around 70/80 yards this almost put the penalty hazard out of play for me. But most importantly I found a way to measure distance sideways on a golf course.  Of course till today everybody ask me what am I doing with my fingers on tee shots, even on approach shots.  Last year, playing a mid-Am I was paired up with a guy with a caddie, the caddie was his friend but also a decent golf PRO. After a couple of holes he asked me what I was doing and he pulled out his phone to show me an app or "system" that can be purchased were it tells you how much a finger is in yards from different distances. Of course if I could figure out how to measure distance sideways in a golf course many people can do the same and make it a trend an even sell it so... you never know! Thanks for the info. The patch is getting worse... more accurate but less intuitive to follow. I rather look funny doing aimpoint on my knee and just use 1 simple formula than using this patch.    I invite you to measure it yourself, don't trust my numbers. Even your arm length, height and finger width are going to change the numbers. Over the 3 footer was clear that my fingers were farther away from the hole standing up than the others. (even with the arm stretch issue i will explain in the next paragraph) Over the 9 footer I agree with you that it should be the longest of the 3 but in practice it wasn't. My best guess is the arm position on each set up. Standing tall the arm is in front of the body aiming a little down, really easy to stretch. Kneeling, because of my spine been tilted forward (20/30°)  the arm is aiming to the front but more up been a little harder to stretch. Laying on the floor the arm is pointing over the shoulders making it even harder to stretch. The less the arm is stretched, the less distance the fingers are from the eyes resulting in bigger results. At this distance it started to matter, but not on shorter ones.     
    • So, trying out different feels with pitching. I find feeling my right hand controlling the movement to produce better results.

    • I believe the golf courses are leaving some opportunities on the table to educate and even insist that folks repair ball marks and fill in divots. They can and should put up signs strategically of what is expected. It may not cure the problem completely but it certainly would raise the level of awareness and improve on the status quo. Edit: I think the courses should straight up empty threaten folks that they would be asked to leave if found to be leaving ball marks unrepaired. Seriously.
    • Yeah, that's fair.  I'm not sure what the solution is.  I do remember "back in the day" when the ranger would remind you to fix your ball marks. I don't see that anymore either.  I guess my point is. I grew up in a time when fixing your ball mark was "cool". Because it meant you hit the green and made a ball mark. It's just not cool anymore.... which (in my opinion) is too bad.
