Try being up here in the cold and rain (thank goodness it is rain this time).

 

 

OT: No thanks. Have lived in Lowell near Nashua Valley for 3 years back in the day.. :-). I had only heard of this 'golf' thing back then, so not bad as it would be now since I pretty much play through Virginia winters to keep myself from gnawing my skin off. Sorry, not rubbing it in.

Ok, back to topic..

Looking at these scores...wow. Isn't the wind blowing? Thought we'd see Even par winning.

The vegas prop on winning score over under is double digits. Winning score will be under par. This course will give up red numbers on holes. It isnt unplayable even whwn windy. Reminds me of Merion US open a couple years ago and people were claiming an over par score would win.

I think the guys teeing off now are gonna get the worst of it as the wind is projected to be at its worst from noon today til around 2 tomorrow. Supposed to start dying down some towards the end of tomorrow. So guys like Rory, Rahm and DJ are gonna be tested to the max.

DJ looks fine hitting drivers. Seems like he'll play and give it a shot.

loving the mobile app this year, esp. the leaderboard player details shot by shot.

My pimento cheese and egg salad is in the fridge, ready for a great golf geek weekend.

Not so sure. He's winced a quite a bit after his last few shots. I think he's gonna WD, but I hope not.

15 minutes to his tee time and DJ hasn't hit a putt yet...

Ok.  Says he's gonna give it a shot!

Watching the Masters today on their live feed, and I'm curious and not being facetious with this; but where are all the 325 Yard+ drives that they always talk about with the Tour Pros?  The Masters provides "Carry Distance" on many of the shots and I'm seeing mostly 270 yard drives.  Does that mean that announcers fabricate yardage on most golf coverage or is it because they can't blast away at Augusta because of the difficulty of the course.  Perhaps those in the know could help me with this.  Thanks.

Today isn't a good example of typical Tour driving distance. The ball doesn't travel in the air as far in chilly conditions, and drives aren't going to get much rollout on fairways softened by two days of heavy rains this week.

Look at the yardages on the Shot Tracker on: masters.com http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/track/index.html

Plenty of 325+ drives (check holes 7, 9 in particular for big tee shots)

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

    • Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.
    • 3 rainouts in a row….that’s SAD Sorry, I’m in MI or I would take you up on a round.  
    • Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.  
    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
