Crazy control and strategical plotting around the course. He's gonna be good for a long time. Still think he lacks the ability to go uber low when needed though given his playing style.

That's a good game for majors. Maybe a Tom Lehman-like career is in store for him.

Does he still wear the driving cap when he's a pro?

People may finally get their wish: Spieth and McIlroy 1 and 2 on the leaderboard. Been a long time coming. Hopefully they play together tomorrow. Rory prolly needs to par in and it will happen.

Oh absolutely; I think he will have a good career by all means.

And he better wear that hat. Unique look, adds some interest.

Never thought I'd see myself write/say this, but those Nike drivers and three woods are really growing on me. Actually starting to love that blue colour.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Was having this discussion with a co-worker and it's an interesting topic. Do you want to see Jordan run away with this ala Tiger Woods did in '97.....or do you want him to hit the bogey train so we have a close contest over the weekend. I'm conflicted because I love seeing dominance in the sport and history made, but at the same time, I want to see a Jordan-Rory battle...with a little Day included.

For me, close competition is always better to watch.

DeChambeau is fascinating. I love that he's a guy who is into the technical aspects of the golf swing.

Rory needs to get to at least -3 for that.  Since Lee and Piercy finished before he did at -2.

Rory avoids any crazy situations and we'll see it.

What happened to the chat on here? Is that gone? Found it, let me rephrase it. Why aren't we using it?

Yeah, especially if it's a rivalry like Spieth-McIlroy. If it was Spieth against a bunch of guys who I have no opinion on, I'd root for dominance and history. But this has the makings of a classic weekend with Rory right there and Day and Phil not too far back.

Yeah, very cool color but, that is where it ends with me.

Haven't hit them and don't tend to like Nike products based on their last few, so probably me too!

On a side note, Patrick Reed's doing alright for us today so far. Touch wood...

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
