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.

Wacko Zacho couldn't have been a first pick last year.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

DJ would be well served to take an AimPoint class and get fitted for an Edel putter.

I get the sense that he's no intellectual giant and AimPoint would just be too complicated for him.  Paulina and he are not dissecting Proust in their downtime.

I'd rather that than having to change the channel as Nantz and company go crazy goo-goo gah-gah over Spieth like you know they would if he won.

Nope, I'm pretty happy with Willett. Hasn't hit many loose shots over the week, has played some tight golf and putted seriously well.

Because winning back-to-back wouldn't have been a big deal?

No issue with Willett winning it. He has been an up and comer the past few years they have talked about him. I just hope if he is gonna win, he stays around. I don't want no Trevor Immelman 2.0

That's it, Willet is the Masters Champion, question will be if Spieth holds on for 2nd.

For you, perhaps. Willet has played well, and it's been close. That's what I come for.

Yeah, he did look kind of foolish trademarking Immelmania.

Had CBS, TGC, etc. not force fed and been so over the top with him since in and around when he won the John Deere, it might not bug me.

But it does.

And his slow play bugs me, too.

Yeah, and I expect he'll be pretty happy with it!

Now Jordan needs an eagle on #18 -- unlikely -- to force a playoff.

      By dave6 · Posted

      recently introduced to the cmb's and love them.   got me started looking at the a12 pros and the cb1's.   any input on either of these?

      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.
