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?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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:

Mabye they shouldn't have 5pars on tour anymore.

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 ;)

How many 59s before 58 gets broached?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
