A driving iron on a 482 yard par 4 is just mind boggling to me.

I feel pathologically compelled to pull driver on anything over 360 yards.

I know it's Arnold freaking Palmer, but I'd like to see a little more golf, and a little less "memories"...

And still take 3 to get on.....

I am really really pissed about Friday's round right now.

He didn't even hit the fairway.  Even with that, I wonder what hazards he was avoiding.  Maybe some fear of his tee shot from #10?

Of course, a 482 yard par 4 is mind boggling to me... my home course has a par 5 shorter than that.

I wasn't able to watch on Friday;  what happened?

lol, I'm with you, he shot par, but still, 2 or 3 under on Friday and this would be so different... 

on the other hand, if he pulls this win off, under these circumstances, the drama will be unparalleled.

Tons of missed opportunities despite a mediocre ball striking round. A pedestrian 70 on Friday and this is another story

Thanks for the description.  Yeah, I'd love to watch another Sunday when Tiger has the lead at a course he's familiar with.

Henrik!!  it's one thing to not tee up a short iron for a par-3.  It's another thing to hit driver off the deck for your first shot

Yeah, sand trap on the right. Or maybe it's downwind and he knew that he would still only have a 7 iron in which he flushed buck 96. Just nuts. Different planet these guys must be from.

Personally, I'm glad these aliens are opting to play golf rather than vaporizing our cities.

And the dream is dead.  That's OK, it's a better story if he gets his first win of phase 2 at the Masters.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
