A chip off on the 18th green. Now that would be fun...(for the fans at least)

Maybe this was mentioned during the telecast and I'm not reading any sports pieces, but totally forgot the parallels between Rose and Garcia. Rose had that promising finish in 1998, struggled, lost his card I think, toiled in the minor league (I think), people doubted his decision to turn pro so young but he worked his way back to the Euro Tour then PGA Tour and won his first major 15 years later. So not only do they have the RC in common, but know the burden of front loaded expectations.

I actually followed Justin play in a european challenge tour event after he had lost his full euro card after all those missed cuts. He was smiling as ever, always gracious, a total gent.

I think the sudden death playoff method at the Masters is perfect and I hope they don't ever change it. That said, I also like that the majors do not all have the same playoff method -- it gives each one a unique flavor.

What, y'all want it like Wimbledon where the final set can go to 70-68 and it becomes a war of attrition and stamina? :-D

I agree with your chuckle on that. They've been doing the sudden death format at the Masters for about 40 years and it has never lasted longer than 2 holes.

They didn't do anything like what you suggested.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
