Maybe it's kind of like the 4 minute mile. Sort of. Once people see it can be done, it's less of a "mental" barrier?

And then follow it up with a 64....  truly amazing. He's going to be something this year.

And I think he's one of the few 59 or betters who's won the tournament.

59,soon to become a regular occurence. What a fecckin joke.

FFS Set the courses up to test them ...at least!!!!

It's hard to tell if this is a trend or just a coincidence in timing, but it's starting to look like you have a point. Kisner had a shot at it at the Sony and I think there was at least one or two others who were on a '59 watch'. The ~ 7,000 yard Waialea course didn't have much defense without the regular trade winds.

I guess when the course rating is lowish the pros can really get on a birdie barrage.

The Humana / Career Builder is always intended to be a birdie-fest. It's set up super easy to encourage players to enter the tournament after being off all winter. I'm completely not surprised to see someone go super low at this tournament.

Good point. If it starts getting to easy, the tour can always make the course harder.

On to occasional 58s now I guess. 

I had a 59 on my score card once. Playing those last 6 holes screwed that up. :whistle:

Why? Most of the 59's come on par 70 or 71 golf courses anyways. Usually that is taking away the par 5.

Jim Furyk shot a 58 last year ;) There has been a 58 on the web dot com tour and the Japan golf tour.

If Hadwin holds on to win then 5 out of 9 golfers who shot 59 or less will have won the tournament. Not really classified as a few there ;)

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By elementz · Posted

      Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.

      I don't see the swing speed as any advantage or disadvantage either way. While they don't have the "WOW!" factor that some of the men have. i.e. "Did you see Rory's 380 yard drive on 17!" That kind of thing. They do, however, play the courses shorter. I think their average LPGA Tour course is like 6400 yards, compared to 7300 for the men. So when I watch it on TV it looks kinda the same. They hit driver then 8 iron, just like the men hit driver then 8 iron. I don't really care that the hole is 100 yards shorter or whatever.  Let me put it another way. If I was to watch the WNBA and then watch the NBA, I would immediately notice how much slower the players are. How much more the men play above the rim. etc... Why? Because the court is the same size. The hoop is the same height. When I watch the LPGA Tour and then watch the PGA Tour, I don't notice (as much). They hit driver then 5 iron into a par-5 just like the men do. Because the course is smaller, it looks similar. BTW - The same is true of softball vs baseball. The softball diamond is much smaller. So, the line shots look similar, there are equally as many home runs, because the field is smaller it looks pretty similar in play.  Here's where to my way of thinking, they can make some hay. If the LPGA Tour was to lead the way in terms of pace of play they may be able to add additional excitement to their game and possibly start to make some converts. I'm an idiot who has never been a sports commissioner. But it seems that when MLB noticed their games started approaching 4 hours and Major League Soccer was always done in under 2 hours. They made changes to try to improve and it seems to be working.  With the LPGA Tour it seems you either need exciting personalities or need exciting play. If they improve the pace of play issue it could add to exciting play. Again, I'm no expert but that seems like an area they could lead instead of follow. It does seem they've recognized this. So, we shall see.
