Next Thursday the third World Golf Championship of this season starts: Brigdestone Invitational at the Firestone CC.

Last year Rory McIlroy, who won't be able to defend his title due to an injury, won followed by Garcia at 2 shots and Leishman at 3.

As always the field will be very strong http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/bridgestone-invitational/field.html

Game on!

Given his track record, the odds are there that it will. He's finished in the top-10 in his 3 previous tourneys before a major and we saw how those turned out.

There was several times when he missed a putt that they said he hit it off the heel, but it didn't appear to be the case to me. The compression thing was just dumb as hell.

You may want to turn your head because Mr. jiggly chest, just pocketed a cool 1.4 mill.

Tiger Woods for the win this week ;)

The guy loves this course. It's a perfect place for him to finally notch the win.

Win? He's gonna dominate. He'll lap the field by 15 strokes. Minimum! :-) There will be all those camera flashes in the dark, just like old times.

Looks like he's not playing this week. His next schedule even is the PGA Championship.

Exactly. There should be an asterisk next to the 2015 winner stating that Tiger would have dominated if was in the field :-P

Woods should play the Barracuda Championship if he's serious about making the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs. Given his track record at Whistling Straits, I wouldn't expect much out of him at the PGA this year, especially given the high rough off the fairways.

Tiger would likely miss the cut at the Barracuda Championship.

Perhaps he should play in the pot game at my home course this weekend, instead. It would serve as a confidence builder . . . maybe.

I'll be there Wednesday with my camera. Anybody want a shot of a particular golfer playing this week?  Happy to get you a good shot of your favorite golfer provided I can accurately identify the player by the name on the bag!  Sometimes it's difficult because this is such a global field this week.

Let me know or I'll just post the shots I get on Thursday or Friday to this thread.

I would like to see Henrik Stenson using his 3w, that would be awesome :)

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
