Wait, seriously?

People are complaining about the lack of coverage?  Yikes...  

 

Yea it's improved by a great deal since Billy Payne took over. It wasn't that long ago that Sunday coverage didn't start until the leaders reached the back nine.

It's never going to be the Open Champ with sun up to sun down coverage, but they will probably continue to increase coverage a bit as time goes on.

Yeah its come a long ways.

I am sitting at home watching Bubba and Jason Day play EVERY SINGLE hole.   Then I can switch over to Amen Corner and watch EVERY GROUP come through.

But why would you tune out of Bubba getting angrier and angrier? It's so much fun :-D

I hope Day can get back into this.  Would be great to see him recover after that Second Nine yesterday.

Agreed. There is still a sliver of the population who refuse/aren't savvy enough to watch anything via a laptop/streaming device.

Only seven players are in red figures for the round so far; Davis Love III (at -3) has the low score of the day at the moment. It's going to be a very difficult day for the afternoon wave if conditions stay this way.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Sneds just took double on 12 and DL3 in the group behind him just put it in the water.

I know it's easy for me to say sitting here on my a$$, but I gotta think guys overthink that hole with the wind. Ignore the wind, play the distance, and take one extra club with a knock down 80% swing.

Sound like a broken record, but I love the shot tracking on the website. You can track 3 guys, all in different groups. The navigation is seamless and you see the exact stats you're thinking of wanting to see.

Also in the leaderboard, you can filter by Americans, Internationals, First Timers, Amateurs and On Course players. Both the leaderboard and shot tracking have a business app feel to them.

Yeah you have to be pretty savvy to click on a live feed.

Can't say I'm sorry to see Danny Lee put it in the water at 12. I would not be happy if that guy plays buzz kill to a Speith/Day/Rory shootout this weekend.

If you are a computerphobe and there are still some out there, yes.

    • If he had to hit over the bunker, I'm guessing he was further from the hole, although "in front of" implies the opposite.  If that's right, that may have been the right spot for penalty relief, a single PS.
    • Day 52. Trying to work on hard pan lie pitching in the rain in the yard. 
    • Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.
    • I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel? 
    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
