Pays off. Three fairways, three birdies.

Just hit the fairway on the 18th, too.

Gonna have to chip in or something to play the back nine in E. Tugged the approach a little.

Guessing this is Tommy Fleetwood Mac You Can Go Your Own Way

 

Nice pun, there's some other good ones though.

For instance:

Tommy Fleetwood Mac is having Dreams of the Masters

Tommy Fleetwood Mac could be your Silver Springs

There's other good ones, @nevets88

I saw him first at +1 after 8 holes, thinking he made a bogey and the rest pars. Nah. Three birdies, two pars, two bogies, one double.

 

Par on 18, turning at one over.

 

1: FIR and birdie.
2: Lost ball and double.
3: Miss right and bogey.
4: FIR and birdie.
5: GIR and par.
6: Miss right and bogey.
7: Missed GIR, sandsave and par.
8: FIR and birdie.
9. FIR and par.
10: FIR and something to come...

Hitting the short stuff seems to be the key.

Of all the putts for Rory to make, a 30 foot downhill left to righter was not the one I'd have picked!

E through 11. Could be worse. Couldn't be too much better given the tee shots.

Needs to hire Brandel after the round to fix him in 5 min! :-)

What are our thoughts on this 6th green then, TST team?

I have no problem with it. The green is pretty large, and there are slopes that let you get the ball to about ten feet if you're on the wrong portion. They shaved the back-right portion down too so you can putt it off the green and use that slope as well.

I love it especially when people pitch from on the green! It is an awesome track all in all.

Every putt Tiger has is a "momentum" putt......

Is anyone other than Tiger playing there this week?

No. He's simultaneously first and DFL.

Stepped away from the interwebs. How good is this angle? You wanna bet kids are gonna be imitating this at the range?

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

    • 39-35 today for a +2 (74) on a 72.6/129. Struggled over the first few holes as I bogeyed five straight to start. Wasn't even striking the ball bad - just couldn't hit a green and didn't hit good chips + one penalty. Then I went -3 over the next 6 to save the round and then parred the last 7. Golf is fun.
    • The Holdovers. Birdie. I’m a big Paul Giamatti fan and felt this was an exceptional performance. The film has a great blend of comedy and heart felt drama. 
    • I rewatched this last night on HBO Max, and I re-affirm this. I loved Dune Par 1. It finally brought Dune to the big screen in the best way possible. Dune Part 2 is so much better, which is impressive. I like the direction they went with the characters in the story compared to the books. It was brought up to date in a good way. Yea, I am glad to see that they are working on Dune Part 3. 
    • I love Louisville Golf's Niblicks, which they made for me decades ago and I began using again, though I now replaced the shafts for whippier ones (see my recent post). Unlike your photo, mine had steel bottoms. Forget about eBay, Louisville still makes them. They work much better for me than the modern metal woods.
    • Went to the range today at Scottish Highlands in Salem NH. Worked on getting my chest turning away and then through the ball. Worked out well as shots had a little more distance and more consistent flights. Gained 20 yards with the few drivers I hit. They have a pretty good short game practice area so I spent a good half hour hitting chips and pitches.  After the range I went to the gym for a back workout. Went well and I'm excited to move forward with this new workout program.
