Love the later evening coverage of the Hawaii events. Looks like the top players start out in the afternoon. Interesting and fun pairing, also like groups of only two. Makes for better coverage.

That was a bloodbath. These guys better step it up or Jordan is gonna tear this Tour up again this year. Hopefully Rory is taking notice because I really want to see those two go at it this year. This

I think because it's got more meat on it  then a standard 3 iron and perhaps the U in the name stands for utility? But, yes, it seems as though he hit nothing but perfect shots with that thing al

I gather that I'm not the only one who doesn't quite buy into the wrap-around season idea. I understand that they need to put the late autumn statistics and earnings somewhere (and maybe the next year is the best place), but somehow it feels like the season is starting now.

I agree with you - after the Fed Ex cup is awarded the season is over in my mind until the TofC kicks it off again.

All of the other events between seems a lot like "silly season" stuff as it is a mixture of lesser events in the states and in far flung locales.

Anybody else notice they don't fix divots? I played there a few months back and the carts didn't even have sand. I thought and still do think that is weird.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That is a tiny car. Look at the grass around the stand.

Pretty sure that's just a tee marker, @nevets88.

:doh:Me. And because making a giant lei and throwing it over a real car is the stupidest thing ever (you never know the depths of stupid marketing can attain, although this would be pretty epic.)

Yep... In the business world, marketing is the most powerful divisions of most companies and drives the heart of their decisions and vision. 

I think it's kind of fun to see the different tee markers from sponsors of the different events... Paint cans, tractors, cars, etc.. The cars sitting out in the lake would be the ones that always amaze me. :-) but...   Not to digress from the topic. It's good to see the players out there mixing it up again. Hawaii is nice to see, when I have white death (snow) outside my window.

Scoring slowed down, Koepka might have a shot, especially with Spieth mis hitting so much.

 

Reed might I mean

Yes, mishit to 30 under...

:-)

We've got to remember that Tiger in his heyday did a lot of scrambling for his wins. I did not watch much of this tourney, but Jordan hit over 83% of greens and gained 1.83 strokes in putting. As we say around here, golf is hard, and I might add, isn't always pretty. It's about recovering from the not so pretty shots...

Impressive win.  30 under and 8 strokes from his closest challenger is reminiscent of Tiger in his prime.  I wonder if Jason and Rory can actually play well enough to catch him, provided he maintains this form
