I missed Sectionals by 2 strokes this year.  I summarized my round here, if you or anyone is interested. June 4th is the day for Sectional Qualifying this year.  I'm not sure how many of the 500

This is kind of neat...each of the top 9 finishers had a final score (over par) that was equivalent to their finishing position:

McIlroy, Day, Spieth, Bubba, Phil, Ted Potter Jr.     This course is just hammering the big names.  greens are gonna get faster over the weekend, too.

It's too bad Don Ho isn't playing, he might have the lead.  Much shorter name.

It was over when Golf Channel was pimping him before the tournament ever started.

Holy hell, I just got back from fishing and took a peek at the leaderboard :yucky:.  The course and conditions must be brutal. There are quite a few big names posting some big numbers and only 5 players currently "living under par".  Looks like DJ's mojo from St. Jude is carrying over, but will it get him through this gauntlet for 54+ more holes?

anyone can explode at anytime out here.   it's gonna take some serious mental toughness to get through the weekend without a major blowup.   

That said, I've got my money on Henrik Stenson right now.   his accuracy off the tee should do well to keep him from dealing with too much of that rough.

Nah, this has become his new modus operandi - golf's version of rope-a-dope.  It will be interesting to see what he does if he gets the lead early as in the past.  During his prime run, much of the field simply got discouraged when he did and, IMO, just started thinking about how close to 2nd place they could finish.

And Rahm where is he? I LOL because the golf media pimps him so much. I haven't seen anything from him to get all this praise.

you mean other than climbing from off the board to #4 in the world in less than a year, right?

It would be extremely unlikely as most Tour professionals only play one PGA tournament each year, and that one is typically in August.

On that basis he probably should hand back the 10 million his won in prize money in a couple of years as well as the trophies for his two PGATour wins. You are clearly a very knowledgeable contributor.

He will be very disappointed that you "haven't seen anything from him". Ranked #5 in the world, by the way.

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

He just pulled it back to +1...I love his game. I'd love to see him win too.

European wins don't count in US golf rankings....and which tournament was it that he cheated and won the tourney anyways?

Another GIR for Tiger, a decent chance at birdie...

I guess you're talking about the 2017 Irish Open?

Apparently, not exactly the ball marker flip trick, but a couple of inches gained, nonetheless.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      So no joke, last evening post work nine must have been the craziest side I've ever played: Bogey, double, double, par, birdie, birdie, birdie, double, birdie. Two gimme birdies, one 15 footer and one bonus bomb from prolly 35 feet on no. 9. Full disclosure, it's a super easy course when greens are running at an 8 with easy welcoming pins. Still, a couple of firsts there. Driver freed me up starting the fourth hole. Anyway, driver notes: 1) anti left left hand grip. 2) no structural bind on hands/grip. 3) left shoulder HAS to get up to chin with humerus completely detached from chest and shoulder socket (feel) Big game tomorrow, aiming to break 80.

      day 44 - slow deliberate swings into the net with a focus on weight shift and hand path. I might sneak out to the garage a few times through the day working on this but my hands are steering to blister lol
