Tiger looked good, especially considering how long he's been out of action. Spieth, my current favorite, put on a mini-charge at the end of the first round. How exciting would it be if both Tiger and Jordan would be in contention on Sunday? With a field of only 18, I know it's not that hard to be in contention, but still ... when was the last time we were so excited about a golf tournament in December? Looking forward to the weekend.

I forgot about Spieth...:P

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.

Great drive on 3 too. Although I'm struggling to get my head round 180mph ball speed and only 279 carry. 180mph ball speed should be well north of 300 carry I would think. I guess it's windy, but it doesn't look that windy to my eye.

It's pretty windy. The flags on the range are blowing, the bushes and trees are blowing…

-2 through 3. Hit two putts 8-10 feet past though. :-P

Just watched that swing, you're right, it seems like it should've been much longer

Just stuffed it on 4 too.

@iacas why do you think he keeps hitting his putts so hard? Do you think that he's chasing it? Or just rust? Something else?

I think he's always been an aggressive putter, not afraid of five footers coming back. Although today he's doubled that lol....

Omg the lagging stream from Golf Channel mobile app is going to make me murder every single orphan in the country.

I'm streaming it at work and it's laggy also.  Lots of pauses, like just as he was stroking that missed birdie putt on the 5th.

I think he knows the full swing is how you truly score, and hasn't put a lot of time into putting or his short game lately. Remember, six weeks ago, that was all he could do, too, so he probably got bored with it, and has spent a lot of time on his full swing lately.

So, his tempo, pace, touch, etc. is just a wee bit off.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
