I'm sure I should know this, but on 12, why do some players get to drop on one side of Rae's Creek and some on the other? Can't remember who, but I'm sure someone dropped on the green-side yesterday and holed the putt.

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

I don't think so. It's yellow.

Phil dropped, but his ball was embedded near the bunker.

Lousy shot from 73 on #2 from El Tigre.

Ah ok, that'd be it - I missed that reasoning yesterday. Did massively confuse me and thought I'd missed something over all these years!

Rory saves par on 11 from the 'Phil' spot having been in the trees. That par is worth about two extra strokes today from there!

5, 5 start is almost two shots given away.

Smoked it on 3. The group ahead would almost complain about being hit into there.

I don't think so. 1 is playing tough today, I think. Spieth bogeyed 2.

Tiger 335 and nearly climbs onto the green at 3.

That's 2 out of 3 good drivers today. Needs his driver to be good today to shoot even 70, let alone anything better.

But had Tiger done it and people made fun, you would be livid.

Livid, no. Sad and upset and drinking myself to sleep, yes. 

I will never apologize for laughing at Sergio. That guy is an a-hole.

thought it would star out a-hole, but it did not!

Tommy Fleetwood tee shot on the green - should be shouting at the caddie to stop messing around and put the flag IN for his drive.

These 3 walk up to a 350 yard shot - who do you put a bet on which hits the green?  TF would have been my 3rd choice...shows how little I know.

True, but it feels that way after that tee shot on one. Par on 2nd after that tee shit is fine.

      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.
