I get the sense that after the Master's everyone has a massive golf hangover and the RBC Heritage is the golf equivalent of a buddy putting a beer under your nose hoping to get you to throw up.

However, my wife is leaving town Sunday morning so I can watch the final round uninterrupted.

Not too many BIG names in the field.  World #1 DJ will be teeing it up, as well as Kuchar and Snedeker (my personal favorites), The Hat, and part-time private eye, William McGirt are playing as well.

Also the field consist of  "TWO Love's"

Davis lll and Davis lV
Would be interesting if they would be paired together.

I never realized Davis's son had or has played in tour events.
Wonder how he obtained entry to the RBC?

Gotta be a sponsor exemption, right?  The only Love listed in PGA Tour's player directory is Davis Love III.

I'll be impressed if we pass two pages.

The weather's supposed to hit mid-70s Saturday and then plunge back into the 40s on Sunday.  I can't decide if I'll play on Sunday or not.

Yeah this tournament doesn't move the needle much for a lot of people, but I do appreciate the shot shaping required to get around this golf course...

I always think of this tournament winner as the "kicking himself for not playing better last week" champ.

It's always a good tournament when Boeing does a fly-over!  Considering it's timing with The Masters, the RBC Heritage seems to put on a good showing most years.  It will be interesting to see if DJ plays a little more like #1 than last week?

I like this tournament. the main reason is I have played there so it's always nice to watch the big boys tee it up somewhere where you have some familiarity.  Also, it's a different kind of golf course from the week to week courses these guys play. It's not all that long at just under 7100 yards and it's tight. Plus the 18th hole is something special. That green looks normal size on TV but it's not that big. When you are playing it it looks like a postage stamp surrounded on three sides by wetland.

Very tight! I was looking at the course via google maps yesterday, and I am not sure I would have anything more than a mid Iron off the first tee to even have most of my shot zone not in the trees lol.

Yeah, you can't spray it that's for sure. I mean it's not as bad as it looks on tv, but you get a lot of overhanging branches that get in the way as well. You end up having to hit a lot of low shots. The problem with hitting low shots is the greens are pretty small so you have to run them on as its hard to get anything low to stop on them.

I don't think TV does it justice because you can hit it in the fairway and be blocked out by tree branches so you have to hit a lot of cuts and hooks, I think it's a fun course to play. Your not gonna hit many drivers. It's got some great par 3's.

TV doesn't do a lot of courses justice. I mean Augusta National is completely different in person.

And you are right, it's not the trunks of the trees that are the biggest issue, it's the canopies. When I played there it seemed like I was always under branches so I had to manipulate my trajectory in some way. It's a cool course though, I had a lot of fun when we played it.

I always quite like this tournament - I tend to think of it as the Poulter/Donald tournament, as they always seem to play well round Harbor Town. At least one of them's managing to do that... Nice to see something from Si Woo Kim as well after a quiet spell post Players' victory. 

I doubt I'll watch that much - I watched way too much of the Masters and got a Sunday afternoon golf hangover... Need to remedy that for next year.

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

I have the TV on and ... did I see Rory Sabbatini wearing a forward-brim hat?  I thought with his skin condition scare a few years ago he was dedicated to wearing only wide-brimmed hats.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
