He hit the rock wall on his downswing, kind of surprised he didn't do some practice swings to ensure he was clear of the rock wall.  

He said he did make some practice swings, but he drops his hands during his real swing and just didn't account for that enough.

The Day McIlroy match was the final, IMO.   That was great golf to watch and a true battle.  I thought Rory had the better game but just couldn't make enough birdie putts.  Day hung around and fi

That's a savvy idea, but does it mess with fan involvement in filling out brackets? It could also be an indication of the value of short-game skills in match play when the ball-striking is roug

I think that's what these announcers were getting at. It really hurts looking at the DTL view.

Always hear about US content not being available in the international market. This is US content, rebroadcasted overseas, not available in the US.

I thought only us high cappers had practice swings that don't resemble our real swings.

So far this is a dream come true for NBC. McIlroy and Day advance. Spieth looks to be in good shape to advance. Zach Johnson's in. A few more big names have a good shot to advance, including Bubba and DJ. This might be the best Sweet 16 the Match Play will ever produce. McIlroy gonna have a tough time with Zach Johnson tomorrow, though.

I'm a fan of Snedeker, so I'm happy to see he advanced.  I'm a fan of Day too, but I like rooting for the underdog.

Reed crushed Phil in the Callaway battle.  Phil looked off today.  I'm not overly impressed with this course.

I follow golf almost as much as anyone, but I've never heard of Patton Kizzire. Is he a rookie that had some nice tournaments in the offseason to get him into the top 64?

If you don't know who Patton Kizzire is. Then you don't follow golf as much as anyone

I was watching when this happened. He took a bunch of practice swings before trying this.

Thanks. I don't follow really any of the tournaments during football season so the finishes at Shriners and Sanderson went completely by me but those helped him get the slot in the Match Play no doubt.

Some of the holes look to be challenging a fun. But I agree that others are pretty mundane. They do have a lot of steep drop off hazards that are ball eaters.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      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.
