Did anyone choose Willett in the Ping contest?

He was someone's first choice, because I couldn't use him as my second choice by the time I entered.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)

Man, the stones on Jordan. Most people would just auto-eject after that 7, but he's hanging on for dear life.

And CBS is going gaga over Spieth again. O:)

He's going to win and all the Spieth "haters" and I are going to collectively die.

Happy to stand corrected. My understanding after my putter fitting was that a large proportion of players play grips that are too narrow, with the fatter grips limiting the amount the wrists affect the putter face. Based on the number that Rory and DJ pull/push, I'd have thought this would be part of it rather than them constantly misreading them. 

I  don't think that has much to do with anything. I don't fit people's putter grips (the weight can affect things).

Two people did with their second picks.

Where? I searched for the phrase "willet" and didn't find him as anyone's first choice.

I will have if the judges will accept that "Brandt Snedeker" is a typo for "Danny Willett."  The keys are like right next to each other. :-P

I almost got the score right too!

I think DJ has more pull / push tendency, but as far as I see their common main issue at Augusta is green reading (moreso DJ) and the habit of powering putts through the break. IMO Augusta's sloped greens and pin placements on crowns and ridges punish hitting putts too firmly.

I may very well be mistaken.

If so, this may be the first time in TST prediction contest history that the winner has come down to the second choice.

This makes sense, though.  The past several majors were won by players we'd expect people to pick with a first choice.

Lee Westwood, J.B Holmes, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Soren Kjeldsen, and Daniel Berger will be pleased as they will be invited back in 2017!

Kaufman really blew it today, won't even be guaranteed a return trip next year.

We've gone to the second pick before.

And the link above was after your pick. It was one of the last several picks, in fact.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.
