I agree.  I played him this week in fantasy based on his course history, but it's going to be tough for him to make the cut now.  He needs to come out this afternoon firing on all cylinders.

Yeah,if Stenson does not make the cut. I'm out $20

Good question. Better question: Why did the list have to be ten entries long instead of say, 5, if really there have only been about five really great shots recorded on that hole. 

HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-P

I told you so!!  Back on topic:. Hope I have some time to watch a little golf this weekend. Going out to hack it up tomorrow morning. See if I can hit my dented 5 wood off the deck or if only works when practicing.

Last weekend I did not put one ball in the water but that's because the course I played has no water hazards.

What a great reaction for a hole in one.  Fun to watch.

Less fun after 20 replays

I was hoping Rory would shoot 62 but he played it too safe on 9.  Course looks like it's playing really easy, too easy for the 4th major.

You could tell it in Rory's face that he wasn't happy about laying up on 9.  He lost focus on his wedge shoot and chunked it.  Then another poor finesse wedge shot.  

He should have gone for the eagle and -11 under.

Looks just about how I would play that hole.

Spieth is still struggling, seems that last round of The Masters has left a scar.

The thing that most amuses me about that is the fact that the water around the green is only like a foot deep.  Maybe it's silly of me, but I have always imagined that it was really deep around there.  Guess not.

I know at least one member here who could play from that lake.  (Not me, of course) :-P

I have heard the players call it the 5th Major. So which on of the other 4 do you not consider a Major?:-P

Or, his swing fault is not fixed yet. Why does everyone just assume it's a mental thing?

None. It's not the 5th major. I wouldn't switch out any of the other majors for this one. Not by a long shot.

Hope Jerry Kelly can hang in there.

I like him. He's one of the Pros I would like to play a round with. Seems very amiable and down to earth. He is also a sneaky good player.

    • This topic can be whatever you'd like it to be. If you're working with an instructor, you may have to mention it occasionally, but people will respect that and you can use this as a diary of sorts.
    • Look at Kevin trying to rationalize his small minority vote. 😄 
    • It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion.   The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough.  Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for.
    • Day 137 & 138- Forgot to post yesterday but same thing. Slow,  short swings with short practice club. 
    • I actually did post a video of my swing today. Those are total distances from my Garmin watch. I don't have as good of an idea with my carry distances. I should go to a range with Trackman some day and get them recorded.
