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.

Ok.  Credit where it's due.  I've gotta commend Fox on their camera work following Paulina walking with DJ to the scorer's tent...

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).

    • Ok, so going to get this posted, out in the world.  I haven't posted as much because of work life balance being s*** right now. I have this project in NJ (sorry @billchao, but NJ is a giant pain in the a** 😉) that is just sapped all my motivation for most anything else. My bowling league started up, so that is taking more focus.  I plan to start working out again, again NJ project, since I haven't worked out consistently in like 6 months. I also will start practicing golf again here soon. Time to get some indoor work done, and the golf course near me has a trackman you can rent out. So, I plan to hit some over the winter as well. 
    • Yep, I think the biggest issue is the carbon fiber.  Carbon fiber is not good for high impact due to it being brittle, and there can be catastrophic failures. If you consider something like bicycles, where the frame can be carbon fiber, but they usually have a beefy suspension system to take the shock. Carbon fiber is good in tension, not compression. It is bad in compression. It makes no sense to have a carbon fiber golf club that is subjected to both tension and compression on a golf strike, especially off-center hits.  Ping is using carbon fiber on top of the club at the back half of the crown to lower spin. It is probably in a place that wouldn't see much of the compression/tension from a mishit. Also, the bottom half of the club is metal. So, it is pretty rigid.  The Paradym Drivers have like 80% of their club as carbon fiber. The back weight distribution design is not connected, by metal, to the front part of the club. I can see if you mishit it, and that 20% metal starts to twist, it will create a section of the carbon fiber under compression, and it will crack.   Also, here is the tech description from Callaway on their newest driver... "The 360° Carbon Chassis has been refined to promote increased weight distribution. By adding an internal titanium support structure, the Carbon Chassis is now 15% lighter*. This mass is redistributed into the head to improve launch conditions and add forgiveness. Each Forged Carbon sole features a unique color and carbon pattern, making every piece one-of-a-kind." This sounds to me like they saw a large number of failures and added better material for more support, but they framed in a way to sell the club. 🤣
    • Ouch, @ChetlovesMer is catching strays over here 😜
    • Thanks Bryan! Working on it! But yes, good and bad days/hours
    • I agree with there being many aspects in which you could still be connected to golf IF you weren't able to play. I would try my best to not give up on playing yet though. Give it some time, be as positive as you can be (I know that is easier said than done sometimes), and try not to mentally give up on it.
