I usually like him, however he said some stuff today that just made me scratch my head. I was growing weary of “Imagine Dragons” references...

It wasn't that i didn't get it, I just thought it was particularly odd in a funny way.

"Literally"? How so?

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

I was caught up in all the drama that the comment broke the moment and made me laugh.  So, because I like things that are funny, and since the guy who I was rooting for didn't win, it literally was the best part of the round for me. :-)

I like Faldo fine when he talks about golf.  Unlike some of the announcers who have never played golf at a high level, he's very credible when he describes what must be going through a player's mind over a crucial putt.  He's won more majors than anyone active in the game today, other than Tiger, so he knows what he's talking about.

I concede that I could do without him trying to shoehorn pop culture references into his commentary.

Faldo is secretly very glad Rory lost since Rory's goal is to pass him for most Euro majors in the modern era. 

In the modern parlance, "Is that even a thing?"

Rory has said passing Faldo’s 6 major total is one of his main goals. 

 

Fair enough.

But then McIlroy already has something that Faldo never managed - a US Open win. I understand his desire to win more majors than Faldo, but I think he already has bragging rights.

That and the FedEx Cup are nice feathers in the cap. At some point he is bound to win the green jacket. Extreme talent. But this week he did not quite have everything clicking the way he needed for a win.

I can't stand Faldo, and only like JM marginally better.  I've said that in these forums many times.  They're both overly negative, and Faldo only edges out Johnny because of his over-the-top ego and arrogance.  That said, while I kept trying to find fault with Faldo's commentary (I'm a child) over the weekend I just really couldn't ... maybe the Magic Dragons crap, but that's being overly petty ... I actually thought he did a pretty good job and almost found myself appreciating his insight.  Almost.

Faldo doesn't bother me, but I don't think he adds all that much to a broadcast. Johnny Miller, love him or hate him, does add something to broadcasts frequently. Do you remember anything Faldo said this weekend related to golf? I don't. He's a guy with 3 green jackets. He should have incredible insight on the course and how to play it. Either he doesn't, or he's terrible at telling us about it.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
