In case you missed prior days, here is a brief re-cap. As the sun rises in Phoenix, the ragtag bunch from East of the Mississippi is feeling confident, but not overconfident. @mvmac is d

Haha, it's not that important (IMO).

Do you think they meant the 3rd match the Red team is up 1 for the match?  They've been posting that the second match is a slaughter.

Yes.

Not absolutely sure what the scores are now, so I'll wait to post something later.

I think Match 2 will go RED (BLUE might salvage something on the back 9 though)

Matches 1 and 3 are nail biters though.

Lots of points up for grabs, but it feels like RED is poised to take a lead after morning play.

@RandallT yeah, not sure about the scores, I'm just posting the Tweets. Try replying to the tweets directly, maybe they'll answer?

Yah, except that I went off the grid on twitter a couple years ago. Ha.

I'll bet things are getting pretty exciting down the stretch, and they're just enjoying the camaraderie, and staying off their devices. I'll let 'em have their fun, and look forward to a good summary.  My prediction is that things were starting to roll in the West's favor there.  Felt like a US Ryder Cup, watching the Europeans take control.  I'm sure the West will resent that comparison! :-D

4 points yet to be decided for Matches 2/3. Gotta think West takes the Total for Match 2 easily. Perhaps runs the table on the last 4 points, but too early to tell.

Team East Coast takes the early morning lead on day 1 with a pair of nailbiters overcoming a drubbing by the west coast in the second match. @saevel25 drained a huge putt for us on 18 to save our 1Up win of the match and a halve of the back.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 46 (17 Jun 24) - Walked the front nine at Minnesott today, with trimmed down back (8 clubs: D, 3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, PW, 54* and Putter).  Knew it would be a challenge to "plan" approaches that the shorter clubs would cover.  Did okay - of the six pars made four were up and downs.  The 54* wedge had a solid day of hitting those infamous short pitches/chips I post about.  Most were within kick-in distance  a couple were in the 8' range.  Overall a 39 scored with three bogies and 0 doubles.  Love the challenge this brings - and to be honest - a lot less stressed as there are fewer options on the table (or in this case "in the bag").

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Been a while since posting so here's an update for today.  Grandson is at golf-camp this week which means I can walk the front nine while he's doing his thing.  Today I opted to play an eight club bag: Driver, 3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, PW, 54* and Putter.  Played from my regular tees and had a blast working the course.  Shot a solid 39 (three bogies, rest pars).  Of the six pars  - 4 were up and downs where the 54 came into play to put the ball in "kick-in" range.  I knew that by limiting the club selection, I would need to plan to play "short" to give me a good easy pitch into the flag.  Today was a good reminder of why the 5 S's are key to making soild gains in your game - here's the link to that thread:

      Long Iron

      By Micho ·

      A newer 3 iron might do it and was kinda hoping Golf galx would let me try new irons. They steered me to a hybrid but I was really trying to do it with an iron.  prolly gonna ride with the 16* Adams hybrid for the summer and see if it will work. 230 off the tee was Impressive(wind assisted but still).

      One thing is clear; the only time anyone cares about the LIV guys is when they come over to the PGAT to do anything meaningful. Then they go back to peaceful slumber until it's time for the next major. Tell me BDC get's even 1% of yesterday excited about anything LIV and I say you are a LIVbot.  "You ain't running"  "Ain't nothin to chase, ain't nothing chasing me".
