Weather forecast looks dry for now, here's the one where some complain, too many amateurs and then it gets down to business on Sunday, but it's Pebble Beach, the Monterey Peninsula, the 17 mile drive, seals, etc... No McIlroy or Fowler, but Spieth, Day, Rose, Watson and DJ are in the field.

My money is on A-Aron Rogers! I like the Saturday broadcast when they go over their swings in painful slow motion!

I keep forgetting that Colt Ford regained his amateur status.  He used to be on the then-Nationwide Tour before his music career.  He hits a nice drive to start one of his videos, and if I weren't at work, I'd look up which one it is.

Chris Berman, you're an effing hack with a vanity cap.

Not a bad start but 3 shots back from the leading "Sandbaggers" that are always in this event.

Apparently we aren't the only ones who don't want to see Chris Berman.

The PGA tour’s slogan is “These Guys Are Good,” but that doesn’t apply to the amateurs playing alongside professionals at this week’s Pebble Beach pro-am. One of those amateurs is Chris Berman, who may be finished with football but not yet finished inhabiting your nightmares.

I decided to post in good taste and not post the video of his swing. Some of you may be eating breakfast. If you dare, there's a video in the link.

You mean this?  Keep a bucket handy.  Lemme know if it's the regular kind or industrial strength sideways projectile. :-)

i hate everything about Berman.  i think hes a hack professionally and at golf.

Luckily were done with him for this year.  Today's PB groups don't have many celebrities so we're probably going to see a healthy dose of Condi Rice, Carson Daly and Andy Garcia.  (On the pro side, Na, Dufner, Lingmerth, Bohn, Kokrak, and Henley are a few who might get a lot of airtime)

The vast majority of the big names are there tomorrow.

Phil is tearing up MPCC today shooting a 5 under 28 on the back side (his first 9 today), though he has cooled of after birdieing 4 of the first 5 holes.

Any guesses as to whether you think he will stay hot on his second 9, or will he give some of it back?

Players play, tough players win!

Hiroshi Iwata shoots a 58 today !!!

Nine birds and an eagle.

No fantasy points for everyone in the second round.....

Ouch.....

I think it says 58 because he hasn't finished yet. PGA Tour website has him -6 through 17

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
