Some interesting moves by the PGA to accommodate for the Olympics (Mid August).  John Deere Classic kinda getting the shaft being played the same weekend as the olympics, and only 1 week between The Open Championship and PGA Championship.

Notable Dates:

-Masters----------Apr 7-10

-Players-----------May 12-15

-US Open--------June 16-19

-Open Champ--July 14-17

-PGA Champ---July 28-31

-Olympics--------Aug 11-14

-Ryder Cup------Sept 30-Oct 2

Humblebrag alert :  I'll be attending the FedEx St.Jude Classic in Memphis and The US Open at Oakmont back-to-back weekends :beer:

How many players will each country have representing them for golf?  Or in particular, USA.  It will certainly dilute some fields, but how bad?  Surely though those top players who plan to compete in the Olympics will be skipping a lot of smaller events because there are so many high profile events clumped together.

As for Jordan Spieth not defending John Deere, that is a shame.  John Deere is always one of my favorite events to watch.

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

Will be an interesting year.  Two majors in one month?!  The debut of the Olympic event.

The Olympics, if it was to be held this year, would include:

McIlroy and Lowry (Ire), Spieth, Johnson, Watson, Furyk (USA), Day and Scott (Aus), Rose and Willett (GB), Matsuyama and Iwata (Jap), Stenson and Lingmerth (Swe), Garcia and Jiminez (Spa), Oosthuizen and Grace (Saf), Kaymer and Siem( Ger), Delaet and Hearn (Can), An and Bae (Lor), Aphibarnrat and Jaidee (Tha), Dubuisson and Levy (Fra), Kjeldsen and Bjorn (Dan), Lee and Fox (NZ), Grillo and Cabrera (Arg), Luiten (Ned), Lahiri (Ind), Illonen (Fin), de Jonge (Zim), Haotang (Chi), Zanotti  (Par) ... and that's the half of the field currently in the world's top 150. I'm sure the winner will cherish their medal but will anyone take it seriously? I'd rather they'd made it a 64-player matchplay event, for the novelty if nothing else.

Why wouldn't they take it seriously?  I understand they are all buddy-buddy with each other, but representing your country is always a prideful time.  I think there will be some laughs, but definitely some intense moments as well

It's a rare achievement to call yourself an Olympics Golf medalist.  You better believe they will take it seriously.

It happens once every 4 years, the window to succeed is tiny.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
