Got a chance to play Harding Park in Daly City, CA.
I've never been on the course; I've only seen it on TV when they play tournaments on the course.
holes playing center.
1st shot slammed a driver to be within a 9 iron. Hit the shot a little short. I'm nervous. 2nd round i've gotten to play all year so far (being from NJ).
had a 15' putt uphill breaking left at the end. Hit it to go birdie.
Shot a 40 in the front 9... BUT MESSED UP and shot a 45 in the back. I GOT NERVOUS!

One Tuesday last week. 4 iron into a par 5 green ( second shot )..... pitched 10 yards away from the hole and rolled within 2 feet. Short put for eagle, holed it. great shot!

Yesterday I was in the trap on a par 4 3rd shot. I figured I'd shoot nice and easily to the right and leave myself with a two-put. I accidentally crush it. It goes on a fringe slope, rolls down and ends up 5' from the hole. I happily tap it in for my only par. haha

Last Thursday, golfing with my Dr. of all people, slammed a 97 yard pitching wedge into the cup for an eagle, no bounce or anything! Best shot I ever hit in my life. Back to reality, bogey the next hole!!

430 Par 4 #16 - 3' off the green in 3, 35' to the pin. Chose to putt it, it circled the hole completely before dropping in for par.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

Highlight shot of the week-
Hit my drive behind a Pine tree in the left fairway with about 150 yrds to the pin that was slightly uphill. I barely hit the 4 iron(only 13 yrs old) that had a good draw and landed about 10 ft from the pin. 2 putted for par.

310 yard dog leg left. Hit a 3 iron off the tee and cut the angle down very nicely. Hit a hard draw up and out, i expected to cut the corner but I got a very nice roll, ended up hitting a LW from 55 yards out. I wound up paring the hole.

I think two shots, same hole Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday, par 5, 3rd shot PW from 105 ends up 15" from the hole for a tap-in birdie.

Sunday, 3rd shot lob wedge from 60 yards almost goes in and ends up 4" from the hole for another tap-in birdie.

I was likin' that hole!!

I have two shots that I would consider my best shots of the week.

The first one was coming in on the par 4 9th. Pulled my tee shot slightly left of the fairway and ended up with a tree right in my line. I had to play it left and unfortunately there was no way I could cut it in (not something I'm all that good at anyway). Ends up I hook it long! End up with an 80 yard shot, downhill and over a mound with the green sloping away from me and blind due to the mound. Open up my 53° and swing hard......ball flight was super high but I figured I landed on the green and rolled off. One of my playing partneres says "That was a pretty good shot.". I walk up to where I can see.....4 ft. away from the cup. Now that was an adventurous par!

The other one was just a 50 yd pitch into the high side of a green (3rd shot of par 5) and watched it roll to within 2 inches. Not exciting....just that I actually executed what it was that I wanted to do.


First birdie of the season!
Par 4 - Left my approach shot right of the green and on the fringe, 25 ft from hole. Putted it in! I can't remember the last time I made a putt over 10 ft, so I was very happy and boy did that feel good.

311 yard par 4. Fairways were pretty hard and hole plays downhill. Instead of taking driver, I went with 3 iron to lay up. I ended up a yard short of the green. Chip and putt for birdie.

Best shot last week was a spoon from 230 metre. I had 230 left to the pin, I took my spoon and prepared, swinged and the ball landed about 2 inches from the pin. That was my 2nd shot on a par 5 hole so it was an easy Eagle :D (first this year btw)

550 yard par 5 dogleg right, 250 yards left after drive, ball just off the right ruff. Played a fade out of the ruff with my 3 wood to with in 3 feet of the pin. Missed the eagle putt, made birdie.

    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online. 
    • Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.
    • Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
