Great to see Stenson win.

Can we talk about Schniederjans' ball flight?  My goodness I've never seen someone hit it that low...

Fairways and Greens.

I didn't watch any… is there a tracer of it somewhere or something? Video?

Low ball flights generally don't succeed on the PGA Tour. Particularly in majors, anyway.

I think in this case he's hitting low on purpose? Didn't watch w/US Am and Solheim going on. According to PGA stats, only one person has an average height lower than his: http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02407.html

Off-topic, but hey, social media can be occasionally, useful, just gotta know how to filter.

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

I read somewhere that he had tried hitting it higher and had a lot of issues so decided to go back to the low ball flight.

That's the exact shot I was looking for...I think it is his 1-iron.  He hit it 341. :bugout:

Agreed...this is just seemed extreme.  Something definitely worth noting.

72 feet? Wow, that's incredibly low for the PGA Tour. That's ~30 feet lower than the median PGA Tour, and almost half as high as the person who hits the ball the highest. Also, the person who's 4th to last hits it almost 10 feet higher. Really interesting. And while Schniederjans isn't an elite PGA player, he's safely keeping his tour card (39th in the FedEx Cup) and has 5 top 10s.

I love those low ball flights. There is a difference in being a low ball hitter and a guy who chooses to hit low snipes when he wants. Trevino won plenty of majors with a lower flight.

Not Augusta, and that was back in the day when the greens were not what they are these days.

The 1970s were a long time ago.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
