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.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
