What comment? There was no white house comment.

I hope so to. Not sure what your comment about the white house has to do with it? One is a golfer, and the other is a leader of a country. 

:-( The site keeps an edit history, you know…

So Tiger scores better than 8 players, and 8 players score better than Tiger ....

I think this is great and nicely derails the odd question.

Frankly, the scores were a pretty good disty - a couple (2) real high outliers, a couple (7) real low outliers, and then the cluster in the middle.  Too bad about that bogie on 18, though, that'll bug him.  It's a shame I only DVR'd the network broadcast and not the GC earlier one - missed Ricky's run by the time it came on.

It looked like he was still playing Nike Wedges.  I was able to freeze frame on an iron and all it said was Tiger on it.  Had the average blade look to it.  Wonder if it was Miura?  Mizuno?  That combo spoken of earlier?  " TGR irons "

Fowler tore it up on the front and did great on the back.  One of the best rounds I have ever seen on TV!

The PGA Tour Facebook page has a video compilation of Fowler's entire round (at least the shots that went out on broadcast), so you can see a lot of the shots there. It was really quite impressive.

For this week, Woods will use TaylorMade's M2 (2016 driver and 2017 3-wood) and M1 (5-wood) woods, along with a Tour Preferred UDI driving iron. Woods was also spotted with a traditional 3-iron in the bag on Monday, so it's possible he's still determining if he'll go with a driving iron or traditional long iron at Albany. 

Woods' prototype irons are reportedly a set of Nike blanks with his "TGR" logo stamped on the muscle pad. The head shape appears to be nearly identical to the VR Pro Blade model he used for a portion of his time with the Swoosh.

Rounding out Woods' bag is a pair of Nike VR Pro Forged wedges (56 and 60 degrees and a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS putter. Woods' ball of choice is Bridgestone's Tour B XS.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
