Neither do they.

So true! I read a quote by a Tour pro many years ago. He said you can tell a really good player by their iron flight. They will hit their low numbered irons high, and their high numbered irons low!

This reminds me of a story that Jack Nicklaus told about playing in the Ohio State Amateur back in the day. Play for the day had been rained out, but it let up in the afternoon. Nicklaus decided to go out and get 9 in. On his way to the clubhouse he walked by the practice range and saw a single golfer out there. He was, in Nicklaus' words, "hitting short irons about quail high, and just blistering them!"

For those of you who have never hunted quail, that means they took off really, really low!

Nicklaus got back to the clubhouse and asked the attendant who the guy on the range was. He said, "That's your defending champion, Arnie Palmer out of Latrobe, PA.!" Nicklaus replied, "Man! That guy sure is strong!"

      Yeah, it started Tuesday night.  I watched the first hour and a half or so of it. I enjoyed it. It was fast paced, different, entertaining, etc. I think it's a perfect thing to watch in the winter when good portions of the country are stuck inside and have nothing else to do on Monday evenings. (First week was on a Tuesday but the rest of the matches are on Mondays I believe) The whole thing ran pretty smoothly IMO. Technology seemed to work fine, and if this is the "worst" that it's going to look and feel, I'm here for it.  My wife bought a Boston Common shirt last night because she likes the logo. I think Boston Common is the best logo and I'll probably pick up a hat or shirt from them as well. There isn't one team that is made up of 4 players that I like a lot, but if I had to pick a team to be a fan of, I'd pick LA or Team Jupiter, but I feel like Team Jupiter will be a fan favorite simply because of Tiger.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 30: 1/9/2025 Great day to go to the range on lunch. I had spent time off on all morning working on my Priority piece. I have a spare 7 iron right outside my office with a mirror for me to practice when I go in or out of my office. The range was nice, at one point I was the only customer there. Anyway, mixed results again, but I think its starting to come together. I'll have to grab more film first chance I get and send it to Yoda.

      I wouldn't buy but for free it would be a good opportunity to go with family or friends that are not into golf. Yes.. it is golf.. but louder! .. music, drinks with golf in the background cant be that bad.
