Hahahaha - like many here, I'm giddy with excitement over this upcoming year.

I'd like to make a formal motion that @CarlSpackler must go and hide in the meeting room all weekend as previously suggested...anyone second?

Absolutely 

Not a gonna happen. I can be found on the golf course.

Hard to imagine anyone not getting a real thrill when he drained the par putt on 16.  I don't know if he is "back" but this is great stuff.

I've never watched any golf before I started playing myself, a bit more than two years ago.

Now I watch a lot,of golf on TV, but only really root for the two Belgian players, Pieters and Colsaerts. 
Still, I got excited yesterday and today to watch Tiger play. Even cheered him on after that putt on 16. 

Hope he can keep this up so he can compete in 2017.

This course isn't as easy as some are making it out to be. Yeah if you keep it in play you're going to have a lot of birdie chances but I'm seeing some big numbers by guys near the top of the leaderboard hitting it a little offline. Kind of like Pinehurst in that you can hit it in the stuff and have a playable lie or you have to hack out.

who else is playing in the tourney again?

According to GP, not the best player ever.......

Or did Jack slip in a round before the event ???

JB's hitting it pretty well. I didn't get to watch much today, but he had a nice chip-in and then a hole or two later, chunked a chip, changed wedges and I'll be damn if he didn't chip in again.......

They said the course wasn't playing very difficult today because it was designed with the wind in mind and the wind was minimal today.  65 is 65 so I'm happy to see Tiger score so well.

JB Holmes probably has a different opinion on how difficult the course plays if you are a little off the mark.

Notah Begay said he had dropped some lbs, and wasn't hitting the heavy weights much.

He said he also changed the routine a lot to focus on core.

For the record, this thread already has more pages than all of the playoff events.  Combined.

I guess maybe Tiger still moves the needle.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Poppycock.  Most of us here genuinely want to know how well Snedeker and ZJ and Russell Knox are doing this week.  The fact that Tiger is playing is a minor footnote.

Brandel's got the bullshit machine going early this morning. 

 

Is that the appropriate use of 's? It sounds right in my head. Christ. I have an English degree.

What's nice about watching this tournament is the absence of "In The Hole", "BabaBooey", "Mashed Potatoes" and all the other stupid things fans yell at golf tournaments.

Two birdies in a row for Tiger.

The third is a par five and he's just shy of the green in two.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
