Red team wins 1,000 points to zero. @mvmac is MVP because of his pod system and inspiring pre-round speeches.

To all those who don't pick the East Coast team and me, I am sorry for your loss :-P

Seeing as how I live literally on the east coast, I had to pick the blue. No doubt. But I went with my fellow Swede for MVP. I'm looking forward to a play by play or at least a daily recap. Good luck.

I am assuming Team West is practicing hard for this event, especially, @Golfingdad.

I've heard East Coast golfers all play at private country clubs with caddies in tow a la Judge Elihu Smails.   Don't let that annoy you, Team West.   Show them what you are made of. :beer:

Captains don't play AND you didn't tag properly anyway. Lots of invalid entries. That means if you enter properly you have a GREAT chance of winning.

FWIW, since we've had a replacement or two on the red team: anyone who chose @SoundandFury or @tristanhilton85 as MVP will automatically get their subs as their choices: @Club Rat and @Bechambo .

We don't allow that in our contests.

The part about the captains not playing was in the first post and in bold.

He's being penalized for it as well, automatic loss of hole. @saevel25 and his partner are 1 down on the first tee.

Sure, but only because I don't get extra points for winning 5&4 instead of 4&3.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By Shindig · Posted

      Thank you, @saevel25.  First two points, definitely, and those are things I can do.  PGA Tour average being 3.0 from 100 yards in the rough (or 160 in the fairway, per ESC) is a great reminder that a 5 is a really good score on a par-5 and the occasional six isn't anything to be upset about, as long as I played it intelligently.   I'm playing in less than a week, and I checked the three par-5s against ShotScope's 5-handicap baseline.    My last par on two of them yielded a 0.23 stroke gain (each), while the last one had -0.07 on my last par (I wonder if ShotScope measures straight-line distance, because there's some slight bending going on). Hmmm, that last one, especially with between the ropes.  I think I'll go through my past rounds later today and see where I'm losing strokes there -- I would guess it's on my second shot, since that one makes me nervous because of O.B. left and right on the second shot.  Yet, I think I can hit a hybrid from my typical tee shot landing area and have a distance wedge into the green.

      Goal 1) Keep the ball between the ropes. The ropes being where you have a full swing at the ball to advance it as far towards the green as possible. Not in trees, bunkers, hazards, long grass, OB, etc...  Goal 2) Advance the ball as far as possible towards the green with respect to your shot zone. Keep the ball in play, ideally in the fairway, but the rough is not terrible. Stay away from hazards, including bunkers. Ideally, you will in play with a short iron, distance wedge shot, pitch shot, or on the green. If this is the case, then think of it as having a par 3 that is the distance left on the par 5. If you are hitting a full swing short iron, then that is going to be difficult to get par than bogey. PGA Tour is 3.0 from the rough from 100 yards. This might be where fairway matters the most.  PGA Tour rough is tougher than what we usually play. If you get can this close to 50/50 for par/bogey than you will most likely end up more pars than bogies on par 5's. You would probably be better than 50/50 if you end up closer to the hole. This is where the advice would be, aim at the center of the green with full swing shots into par 5's.
