Appreciate the effort @b101 but the guy is clearly a tosser. Came on with an agenda.

Isn't that just the truth? I will just never understand that mentality.

Back to the golf and this is one of the best day two leaderboards I can remember in a long, long time. Awesome day's watching so far.

Yep, I've been following McIlroy's shot tracker all afternoon and there have been about three or four waits of ten minutes on the tee (14 and 15 in particular)... Not sure who's caused it, to be honest.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Piss off. Ban me, I’m done

you don't have to be banned - you can leave voluntarily....or...

read a few posts, get the lay of the land before posting too much, then join and contribute - a few guys come across harsh, but you get to know them better, they are pretty decent, just about all of them, frankly, you started off here with a chip or agenda or so, put it aside

just like real life

your call - if it's not too late

 

 

back on topic - still rooting for McIlroy.....so far so good

Justin Thomas slowly sneaking into contention under the radar. Haven't seen anything from him, but now at -1 and in pole position at 7 after 3 birdies in the first third of the round.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

If Reed keeps it up, at least there might be someone with red and black out there Sunday afternoon.

Yeah - but he's a villain in my book. Make it easy to root for anyone else.

Has the cut here always been top 50 + within 10?  I thought it used to be top 44 + within 10.  Not sure why I think that.

Come on Tiger. Get a birdie on a par 5. Make the cut!

Yes indeed!  I would enjoy seeing him do both of these things.

Hoffman having a much better second round than he did last year!

The top 50 scores including ties, or any player within 10 strokes of the lead, will qualify for the weekend. The rule was changed to its current form beginning in 2013, before that it was top 44 and those within 10 strokes of the leader. 

(I did a search on that 'internet' thing) - so it can be more than 50 for either ties, or the 10 stroke thing....or both

Leishman is trying to hit it farther into the woods than...Woods.

Looked like a good drive by Tiger. On the right side, probably with vision to the green.

Thanks.  I should have searched.  

After hearing that comment about Zach Johnson and how well he plays the par-5s, I cannot help but think of the title a chapter of Erik's book didn't end up getting.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
