I think you could out Day in that category as well. His shot routine is not exactly speedy.

I absolutely would. I want to like both guys but their slowness is making it hard for me. My favorite player is Snedeker, not in a small part due to how fast he plays.

I like his demeanor a lot more after that interview.  Took his bad bounce and is moving on.  Would love to see this kid compete over the weekend.

Seems like Bubba and Rickie should take a page out of his book.

Agreed. I decently like Spieth but the amount that he and his caddie belabor every decision has got to stop. 

Yeah, but sometimes we forget he's only 22. DeChambeau is the same age and he's a little whiny out there, too. Rory was at 22 as well. Tiger was spitting, cursing and throwing clubs at 22. I think he'll mature with age. He's already matured a lot just from 21 to 22.

I just never understood the super slow play. To me that just means more time to overthink the shot. Make up your mind, take a practice swing and rip it. Most players don't have that issue, why do some of them?

The coverage is atrocious. Who chooses what to screen and what not to?   Surely a non-golfer.???

I had that guy over to my place a few months ago.  He picked up my bowling ball and asked me what it is.  Clearly he isn't a golfer.

(I don't actually know;  I'm half watching coverage today while doing some work.  Will sit and watch intently tomorrow and of course Sunday)

I hope they put Spieth on the clock after his first tee shot tomorrow. Whiny little brat. 

COME ON RORS!!! I hope he steps on Jordan's neck tomorrow and doesn't let up till Sunday night.

How was Bryson whiny today, apart from your average look to the caddy and toss your hand up that every player does (including all of us)??

Are you a Nike rep or something.

I like Rory too, but come on. :-P One of only three under par today?

Why do all the greens look beat up? I have never noticed imperfection at AN like this year.

Spieth mentioned that in his post round interview...if I remember correctly he said they were "crusty"....not sure exactly what that means, but maybe they weren't rolling as true

Dried out more than usual,less receptive,hence the high scoring.

Yeah I heard that too. Just weird. When they zoom in on lag putts, you can see the greens are all jacked up. I have never noticed anything out of place on that course before.

I love when you get descriptive like this! LOL.

I didn't see this coming from Phil.  I really would have liked to have seen him play this weekend.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.

    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
