This may happen. But it isn't an absolute.

You are correct. That is shown in my statement by saying, "pretty sure", it means that there is still uncertainty there. My opinion can change with evidence.

Unlike your statement, "Danny was a pure fluke and will never contend in a Major again." This is you stating what you think is a fact, something you think is uncontestable. The guy might end up winning an Open championship. That tournament has a history of giving majors to golfers who you never think would win one. Look at Ben Crane. You could easily say, "Ben Crane will never win a major championship." Well the guy outlasted everyone else at the Open.

Danny Willet will never contend in a major again.

Yes you already said that. Thanks for clarification.

Rory will win plenty if he can figure out how to putt.  Watching him on the putting green is like playing with my friends on our weekend round.  He never seems to make any over 10 feet and misses so many that are in the 6 foot range.

It's not his putting. He needs his approach shots to be better so he has shorter putts.

If he says it three times, like Beetlegeuse, Willett will win the Masters again! :-P

Lol. Yeah ...not sure why...I'm just not too big on Willet (obviously). I do agree that maybe Rory's lay it on the line and speak freely attitude (opposite of Spieth) just gives the appearance of less care. Rory is way too talented and young to not win more Majors.

Well, from what I have seen his putting needs a lot of improvement also.  He is not in the same league as Spieth on the greens.

Rory hasn't contended in a major for 3 years now. And it looks like he doesn't care about golf now. I think Jday was an average player that had a hot streak and has cooled off to be an average golfer. Crazier things have happened.

Why did you post this bit of vague, crystal-ball gazing stuff? Did you hope someone would jump in and prove your point? You certainly failed to offer any convincing evidence to support your thread headline.

Gotta disagree. Rory and Day are great players with a lot of years and majors ahead of them. Rory is too good not to give himself at least a few more realistic chances at winning another one.

Not exactly.

Well, I think it may be because @mvmac pretty much finished it.

I'm not sure why someone would actively predict bad outcomes for any player no matter what. They seem more likely to win another major than most touring pros, time will tell. I wish them all the best along with their fellow pros.

Thanks Spieth.

The best way to improve your putting is to give yourself shorter putts. ;-)

Believe it or not but I actually think Day has a better chance at winning a major again than Rory.  Rory just seems disinterested in playing golf when I watch him

Totally agree. He seems excited about 'shutting it down' for the remainder of the year.

One prevailing thought is that athletes who have the drive/work ethic to get to the top of their sport don't have it in their DNA to get lazy and lose that drive....although that is probably the case with most top athletes, it doesn't seem to be the case with Rory IMO. He'll of course say otherwise, but I'm not buying it.

Tell me then, did you predict that Tiger wouldn't have a major after 2008? I bet statistics said he would. It is not silly. Bold predictions occur because someone went out on a limb. If everything was based on stats, then they would be no human aspect to it. 

Of course statistics said he would. Statistics also said Ben Curtis and Michael Campbell wouldn't win a major. I would bet anything that the top 100 great players of all time win majors as a close percentage to their overall win percentage. No special sauce.

Even if Rory is operating below max-intensity from here on out (which is not a given), his driving is so good that he could easily run away with another major (or more).  There aren't many guys out there who have a higher ceiling.  He still gets in the driving groove all the time - hitting it 330 down the middle off almost every tee.  From there all he needs is a couple of hot rounds with his wedges or putter to make a load of birdies.  There's enough variance with wedges and putting that it can easily happen even if he's statistically below average at those skills.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
