Gotta commend Westwood today for how he has handled playing terribly and being a great partner with DJ. Good stuff to see.

After all of that talk about how the rain on Thursday would take the bite out of Oakmont, it looks like only three players will finish under par for the championship.

That's how it usually works out for him.

Yeah that was a treat but geez, could she dress anymore sl--ty?


Are they assessing the penalty and does it matter for the contest?

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Unknown and no.  If everyone not in holes out their next stroke, he still wins by multiple shots.

Definitely got, but getting to age where that outfit is borderline

Does the penalty stroke change the result of the Sun Mountain contest? Or is it @phillyk either way?

I don't think so, unless it somehow DQs Dustin.  He's at -5 or -4 (now -4, they said as I'm typing this) and the only entries with him at #1 were over par, -2, and -4.  If he had parred #18, it would maybe be an issue (I don't know the tiebreaker if he won at -3).

    • By my math it's 1.25" longer.  But yeah, without a fitting, I'd say using the specs for your current irons would be an okay place to start.  One thing you may want to consider is if you have an odd gap someplace. For example maybe you hit your 9-iron 135, your 8-iron 150 and your 7-iron 160. You may want to get your 8 iron bent a bit weak. or what ever your individual case may dictate.  When getting the new clubs it might be an opportunity for your to tweak some distance control issues you may have.  The other option of course is to buy them based on your best guess and then have the lie/loft tweaked later with your swing coach or the like.  Good luck, let us know how you like em. 
    • I was responding to the discussion with Beastie where he was suggesting that scalpers should be banned. I would think that the PGA could set this up in such a fashion that you can't transfer tickets - if you find that you can't go, you could sell them back to the PGA for maybe like a $25 restocking fee or something like that. That would make the tickets much easier to get for people who actually want to go and they'd get the price that the PGA charged, rather than whatever additional profit the scalpers want to make. They're making money while providing no service whatsoever.  I might also be inclined to suggest that the PGA perhaps should care some who buys their tickets. I don't know exactly what their mission statement is, but I would hope that access to the game for more people should be a part of it. I would also think that PGA pros should want the game to grow - more people playing the game equals more lessons. At $750+ there aren't going to be many 10 year olds who go and catch a bug for the game.
    • I currently have Wilson Staff D9 forged irons which I enjoy but like many of us, I’ve been checking out the Takomo irons and I’m thinking about switching but obviously there’s no custom fitting centres etc.   I'm trying to work out what my spec would be and hoping some of you wonderful people could help. Going by the Wilson site, the standard shaft length of the 7i is 37.25 and the lie angle is 62. The Takomo 7i is 37 and the lie is 62.5. When I was fitted for the Wilson’s, I was told I’m +1 and 1 degree upright. Am i correct in saying I just need to work out the difference in the figures eg in the Takomo I’d be 1.75 longer and 0.5 upright or would it not matter with only being .25 difference in standard length and .5 in lie?  
    • While you make a point, the Ryder Cup doesn't care who buys their tickets.   The tickets were sold and the revenue was received.   If there was a severe outpouring of complaints maybe something would be done about the state of ticket sales.  Sadly this is the current state of the market, ie. Taylor Swift. 
    • We shouldn't let this become too political, but I recently read that there are some relatively rare x-y combinations: Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy Learn about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of X&Y (Sex) Chromosome variations. See how our eXtraordinarY Kids Clinic can help.   Differences in sex development - NHS Find out about differences in sex development (DSDs), a group of rare conditions where the reproductive organs and genitals don't develop as expected. Some people prefer to use the term intersex.
