G-MAC ON TRACK: Graeme McDowell is playing this week with hopes of ending a disappointing year on a positive note. He’s off to a good start. McDowell fired 8-under 63 on Friday at El Camaleon Golf Club to take a one-shot lead over Derek Fathauer. McDowell is at 12-under 130 (67-63).

McDowell has just one top-10 finish in 25 worldwide starts this year. He’s fallen to 85th in the Official World Golf Ranking. A player’s fortune can change quickly when the putter is working well, though. McDowell has just 51 putts through two rounds, and has averaged 1.46 putts per green hit.

“I’m seeing the greens well, keeping this real simple,” McDowell said. He has played El Camaleon’s first hole in 3-over par – he made double-bogey Thursday after hitting his opening tee shot out-of-bounds – but has made 16 birdies and just one bogey on the other 34 holes. He made eight birdies in a 10-hole stretch on Friday (Nos. 16-18, 2-5 and 7).

McDowell, who finished 160th in last season’s FedExCup, is also playing next week’s The RSM Classic (formerly The McGladrey Classic).

“(I) came into these two weeks with a pretty relaxed attitude,” McDowell said. “The last couple days, so far, the attitude’s been good. I’ve just been out there trying to play golf and enjoy myself.”

Nice win for Graeme McDowell in the playoff.  I didn't really pay too much attention this weekend but did see that he had fallen a few shots off the lead during the middle of the fourth round yesterday.  I've always liked McDowell.  Maybe he'll call up @David in FL to celebrate!

I didn't follow it closely so why would he be glad about that?

I also didn't see what TGC called a brilliant approach shot with his 5I in the playoff.  I'm jazzed to see that later when I get home from work.

The first 3 days he played it with 2 doubles and a bogey.  Finally parred it Sunday....

Yikes.

Glad he won it.  From your write-up, he seems like a really good guy and that personal touch you gave him has made me a fan.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
