What is Tiger Woods's profession? Answer: he is an entertainer. That's how he makes his living. The entertainment he provides is playing golf, very well. Somehow, society has determined that playing g

I find it very strange -  and I doubt that I'm the only one -  that you seem to see anything that Woods does as a personal victory for you when it doesn't live up to the hopes of others. My hunch is t

Interesting tidbit (seeing you like newspapers)!

Total number of instances of the phrase "Jack Nicklaus" in the New York Times, 01/01/1960 - 01/01/1990 = 4790

Total number of instances of the phrase "Tiger Woods" in the New York Times, 01/01/1990 - 04/07/2018 = 6888

I think Jack was pretty big news in his day, irrespective of how well he was competing.

But sod all that, in other news - did I just see Rory hacking off the first tee?

And then making a par?

The New York Times is a shell of what it once was. Back in 1970 it, as well as other newspapers, was pretty much all there was if you wanted to read about the PGA. Now the rest of the media and it's talking heads have assumed that role. I think we might take that into consideration. Perhaps that also has something to do with my percieved non stop media Tigerfest.

Live from the doghouse.

Oh yeah, Reed isn't wearing red today. Did he choose pink himself or does he have to as part of a Nike pink Sunday?

Just a straight push. Dead right off the blade. On the plus side, he makes one shot back on Reed, so not the end of the world.

Jim Nantz says, "Maybe there were too many expectations."  DO YOU THINK??!!

Nantz sucks.  He's so overrated. 

I so enjoy the broadcasts on NBC better.

Well, it's the start I was hoping for - Reed coming back to the field, Rory and others starting relatively quickly. If it gets any more exciting on the back nine, I may struggle to sleep tonight!

I've seen how many this week lay up on three and do poorly?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
