He's just so mehhhh. I don't know how else to put it. He does nothing for me. This leaderboard is making me want to go to the range. I am trying to keep interested, but I can't. I don't remember ever being like this when Tiger was killing it or even Phil. Jordan is just not fun. Day makes this fun. Rickie and DJ make this fun. Rory definitely has the moxie and makes this fun (when he learns to putt). So meh.

I want to go to the range too.  I've barely gone in four months :-(But it's raining here.  

I'm also actually enjoying it, but I see why others might not.

Day within 4 with a bunch to play.

Just sliced it like a crazy person and did not get a Jordan Spieth famous lucky bounce.

would like to think that Westwood would save me from having to listen to another Spieth victory speech, but we all know he will sh*t himself once he realizes he has a shot :-(


If Jordan sinks this and then has the easy 8th to play, he can start putting distance between him and the field. Needs to make this putt, though. Come on, Jordan.

Your perception is distorted by emotion.

What kind of men are your type? You like tall dark and handsome?

I wouldn't exactly say DJ exudes "emotion".

There's nothing moderately interesting about him.

He is bland, meh...

I can't imagine a Westwood victory speech would be terribly animated. For the reason you describe, though, it will always remain a hypothetical question.

"Your" emotion. Not theirs.

Is there a stat that tracks scoring after bogies or worse? I'd be interested in seeing Spieth vs the average.

Still confused by the statement "he doesn't show any emotion." Like huh? I even posted a picture of him showing lots of it. But whatever. Like someone said, Spieth must be becoming a true superstar because he's racking up his hater army.

You kidding? I know it's Lee, but after all his near misses, I reckon it'd be pretty animated.

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

Rory is definitely lucky he got his 4 in before Jordan came along. Jordan might just hold this tour hostage for 5yrs. Hell, Spieth could go wire to wire at Oakmont. Another course where he can avoid the big number compared to his competitors, his putter will save him and he can just laugh at all the others 3 putting their ways to 75s+

What's interesting is the great amount of success he's had in a relatively short period of time and overall he's a good person.  I don't see him being any different that Rory or Jason Day.

    • 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.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • 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.
