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

Rickie Fowler confirming Masters starts on the back 9. 

I was hoping for McIlroy to birdie final hole of Amen Corner then one more birdie to stay closer.

Just missing comments on laying up to a good number or putts breaking toward the water...

Kostis took care of that earlier this week (Yesterday's round? Thursday?--saw it when I caught up with my DVR recordings last night.)

And Nantz and Faldo really liked how Rory put all that "topspin" on his bunkershot on the 5th hole today. :doh:

Immediately surrounding a "two eagles in three holes" stretch, Reed makes two bogeys.

Reed might not want to have a big lead going into tomorrow.  He knows no one has shot all four rounds in the 60s and wants to save a good score for tomorrow.

Rory got very lucky on the tee shot at 18. Many lucky bounces for him today. Good iron shot into the green. Let's see if he can make a 15 footer to get into the house at -11.

Does someone have a shot on Henrik Stenson's face after he hit his approach to #18?

You guys love to jump the gun on predictions. He could shoot 75 tomorrow. He could make a double on 18 today. Rewatch the 96 masters or the one Rory blew.

Plenty of time for errors and someone to go low.

Haha, I'm on a 30 second delay, so that was great to look out for. Sadly, I missed the screenshot attempt.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Rory with another bogey-free round.  I still haven't had that six-free round.

Watched a lot of golf have you? :hmm:

 

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Um, no.

Kostis explained (--paraphrasing here--) that the putt (Mickelson's, I think?) looks like it should go one way even to experienced pros, but it breaks toward Rae's creek.

And Faldo affirmed a comment that Nantz made about why Rory's fairway bunker shot turned out so well.

Great recovery shot by Leishman. 

Did Reed lose his caddie?  He just picked up his own bag...

Nevermind, found the caddie.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
