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

His par five scoring all year (except at one event - Bay Hill?) has been well below his standard. He seems to screw up one shot or another in there somewhere.

If there's a "trick" to Augusta it's dominating the par fives. I think even Spieth is over par on the par fours the last 5 years (4.02 IIRC).

I remember that stat coming out with McIlroy a couple of years ago - he played the par 5s over par and had he even birdied half, he'd have won comfortably.

Easy to say ifs and buts, but when that's usually your strength...

Danny Willett looks in danger of being a much younger Sandy Lyle at the moment. Constantly miles over par over the last two years.

Sandy Lyle is actually -1 and has a 314 yard drive. I'll shut up now.

No one seems to be talking about him much but I think Henrik Stenson may come in under the radar and win it.

Nobody's talking about him much because he's never finished in the top 10.

This year may be different. He's gonna hit a lot more drivers, he says.

I know everyone talks about 11 as the hard hole at the start of the back nine, but 10 seems to mess with a lot of players. Particularly with that pin position, it looks tough!

They said that 10 plays harder than 11.  11 is long with water and a part of Amen Corner so it gets more publicity I guess.

Really? Didn't they move people out of the way enough? Or did he hit it more right than intended?

More right than intended - they were moving people and he had a restricted backswing, so that could have been part of it.

      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.
