For those who haven't seen the video: That is pretty bad. Not a huge fan of his "intent" getting him out of a penalty there.

But in rewatching the video, it’s really, really hard to accept his excuse that he didn’t even know where he was stepping.  Really, really hard. (For the record, I’m a big Hideki fan)

Bingo. That's the intent there.

He should have been penalized. The softy rules officiating on the PGA Tour saves a player once again. That's what happens when the players own the Tour.

Right. He intended to step there. He didn't "accidentally" do it.

I think if the ball would have ended up rolling closer to the damaged area, they'd have probably pushed him a bit harder for sure.  But then maybe he'd also have called himself on it in that scenario....impossible to know now, it's too late.

That's kind of irrelevant.

Let's say years ago Camilo's ball hit a bump differently and rolled six feet away. The rule basically says if, at the time the act was done, it was possible/probable that the ball was going to roll back to that area, it's a penalty. It doesn't have to actually roll through that area.

The guy has been practicing and playing a lot according to him. Not in tournaments but he has had plenty of reps. The question still remains are his yips gone or were they technique?

He's basically not played competitive, high-level golf for about two years, dude. He's been playing after basically a year off for four or five weeks.

That's a "lot" compared to the zero rounds he was playing before, but it's "almost none" by competitive PGA Tour standards.

Anyway, looked like tough scoring out there today. He's still T10. That's not too bad. It's not great. But it's not bad.

Geez I don’t know the rule but what Hideki did was so obvious!  Uh oh ball might finish in chunk divot!  

Tiger kept fighting hard,  still all good as I see it espescially if he can keep it under par tomorrow.

The potential is there...

I think he looks a touch wooden on some short shots compared to his best but that’s my only criticism.  It must be kinda draining for him with the buildup and all...If he’s truly healthy then game on Augusta!

Where are they hiding the stats for the tournament on pgatour.com? GIR, FIR, scoring etc.

Damn he's 4-under thru 8 right now with an eagle? Pretty cool. Looking forward to those highlights when they post them to Youtube. 

Rips it down the middle on the par-5 ninth. Sweet.

So Tiger scores better than 8 players, and 8 players score better than Tiger .... classic glass half full/glass half empty optics.
 

He did much better than I expected, and I now can't wait until he plays on the regular tour (as opposed to this smallest of all fields Invitational)

Players play, tough players win!

Might be the smallest, but a very strong field. 8 out of 10 from top 10 and all players but Tiger in top 30.

I still think he is ripping it too hard, but look forward to a winning Tiger in 2018.

And what a performance by Rickie. Well done, well deserved.

I'm no different than any other Tiger Fan.  I've followed him since day one with all the ups and downs.  Like most, I didn't expect much this time, once again.  There have been too many disappointments. But for the first time since all the troubles began, He looked like he could finally, be the guy to set the Golf World on Fire again!  He did well when you consider almost a year without playing.  How many Tour Pros could do that and play as well as he did this weekend?  Tiger gets more Press than The White House!  I am happy for him and I HOPE this was FOR REAL!:-)

      Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
