I was going to wait for next commercial break to grab food...then I thought, hey, just wait for Jordan to be away on the green..won't miss a thing

I dunno. I've been critical of his speed over the last two days as well, but I can understand him taking his time on that one. He maybe took one more look than was necessary, but I can live with that one.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

I wonder if the guys chasing Spieth are playing it safe hoping he messes up and comes back to them.  

No. I just think DJ is a mental midget on the greens and Day tries too hard to shape shots sometimes.

Kjeldsen is so rad.

Gotta say, the greens look dreadful for Augusta. The course just doesn't look as good to me this year because of it.

I'm convinced Langer is cheating

I don't think so. I'm convinced the dubious benefits of the "cheating stick" are purely psychological, not mechanical. That broomstick is basically a psychological crutch for him. I reckon he uses it on the practice green as he always has, and then tries to trick his mind into thinking the non-anchored stroke in competition is the same action...chiefly because, well, it is.

Judging by what I'm watching right now, it ain't working!

Smylie as cool as the proverbial cucumber.

His name would be perfect for Tin Cup 2, he's going stroke for stroke with Spieth which can't be easy.

Indeed. Been saying that all week. Perhaps the unusual cold for this time of year along with heavy rain earlier in the week and all the wind is the cause?

It's not that his opinion isn't accurate it's that he only targets people that will gain him notoriety.  I doubt that Spieth was the only golfer who called his swing coach yesterday because they had a problem with their swing.  Some guys have their coaches travel with them, so are they momma's boys too, why isn't Brandel calling them out?  

Spieth wants to win, he's wisely using all the resources available to him in order to help him win, since when is that wrong or something worthy of snarky comments?  

The 'mommy' thing was me embellishing, he didn't actually say that so maybe that is hanging you up. I can't remember his exact words now, but everybody was talking about Cameron returning and everything, then Brandel blasted it and said he didn't like it, pros depend too much on their coaches, they need to figure it out themselves, etc. 

Also, as somebody noted, he comments on those at the top or winning. Nobody wants to see what he says about the guy in 50th place, who is not one of the stars. I think he is good for golf and has good takes, Agree to disagree.

Anyway, back to golf. If this Soren guy wins it's gonna take some willpower for me not to chunk the TV into the pool.

Damn you and your luck Jordan. If he wins, that shot will be on replay of the luck that helped get him there.

Yesterday, I agree. That driving iron was a safe play though and he knew it.

I don't like DL3 but that was pretty cool.

Are these greens the toughest greens that they play all year?

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
