What is the design on Tom Watson's ball?  Looks like hexagons?

Really exciting stuff today - this is what I love to see in majors.  Tough conditions, players trying to hang on.  Some really silly stuff going on on the greens, too - a very entertaining day.  I'm hoping Spieth can hang on.

Looks like a soccer ball haha but not sure.  He played the same ball at the Par 3 contest on Wednesday, but I didn't think he would play it on Thursday and Friday.  Great finishing hole for him tho

Is it just me or does the course not look quite as perfect as we are use to seeing, greens in particular?

Anyone else surprised about how poorly Rickie played this week?

Yes. He was in great form before this week.

Yes.

You don't expect someone of his caliber to be that far back in the pack.  Not making the cut, understandable, but a complete breakdown, it's sick.

I don't think the collective ages of the top 4 add up past 100.

Usually there's an old guy in the top 10, that's Søren Kjeldsen at 40 yo.

Watson used a 5W on his approach to 18.

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

Ugly for DeChambeau. Ugly and undeserved; he's played brilliantly.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

    • Okay I apologize for allowing so much time elapse between my updates but I am resigned to the fact that surgery is definitely needed I have tried everything else and even paid out of pocket for a "PRP" injection I got 2 months ago and the pain is not going away in fact it's been getting worse. I'm either going in late this month or early February to get this taken care of once and for all.
    • Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for. 
    • @jxdama: Same dumb schtick since joining. Yup. Also, it's a par-73.
    • Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.
    • OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
