The ball didn't HIT 18 feet away. The ball didn't stop, 18 feet away. It rocked and slowly turned, and rolled faster into the bunker. A bunch have done this. They don't stop rolling, until they are off the green. Saw someone miss a putt and it finished off the green down the hill. 

Remember that time... I forget if it was Bay Hill or Doral, but someone (I think Calc?) hit a putt into the water.

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:

Tiger did at Augusta before.

But it was a putt!  It had to have been a good shot, right? ;-)

Are you serious?  He's like 25 years old, two PGA Tour wins (one of which he was a defending champion), plus two playoff losses... and you say he sucks?

I think we're in that nebulous "a big name needs to win" territory with this discussion. In other words, with the remaining field and (esp.) current leaderboard, anyone not named Dustin who wins this is akin to Danny Willett. And that's very bad for the game, don'cha know?

Much as I dislike that big southern nancy, Gooner, Ferrari-collector, and whiny social media cry-baby, Poults, I almost wish he'd held it together. He fulfills the "big name" category for those who care about such things, and I could almost (almost) be pleased to see a glorified journeyman like him punching above his weight, and winning a major late in his career.

Nah, on second thoughts I hope Berger wins.

What about Xander S.?  His last name is pretty big.

Wow, it's still within 10' (at least, looks to be within that on TV). (DJ par putt on #18)

Tiger putted into the water at Augusta, yes.

In fairness to Phil, only eight of those involved hitting the golf ball.

That I knew -- It was still obscene.  The day overall has been crazy, and now DJ has surrendered his lead, allowing Berger and Finau (congrats on a great Saturday, fellows) to be the last two out on Sunday.

Said this earlier, but some of you guys are saying this course is too hard, Shinnecock Hills is a teddy bear compared to Carnoustie when the wind kicks up there. Now that’s a brutal golf course. You may not want to turn on the Open next month if you’re complaining about this course.

You keep saying this, but… no. Carnoustie can play softer, and likely won't be set up quite like Shinnecock was today. They can set it up easier. Move tees up a little. Cut holes on better spots on greens. Etc.

No - Mickelson did exactly as they said. He didn't put is putter out to stop the ball or flick it off to the side. How is that grasping at straws? You may as well say that when you drive the ball you stop it because at some point it comes to rest.

Long putts do tend to save you a shot.

So if Sergio had ran to his ball (Masters) and hit it back towards the hole before it could roll into the creek...that’d be fine?

And Phil said, ‘ I went to hit the ball back towards the hole because I knew it would end up back behind the bunker with no shot.’

Youre giving a lot of slack there @Shorty.

Awesome to see Finau in the last group. Have been following him closely for awhile now. 

Fox's audio constantly cutting out was annoying.

      2024 Changes to the World Handicap System (WHS)

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      There was a P.C.C. at Eagle Sticks Saturday of +1. I posted from the hotel Saturday night so I made my small contribution to the +1.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By mcanadiens ·

      It's been a remarkable slow start for me this year, but I finally cracked through with my first two birdies of the year over the weekend. Ironically they were the 18th at Community (Hills) GC Saturday and then No. 1 at Miami Shores on Sunday. Don't ask about the rest of them. For the purposes of the chart, I'll just use Miami Shores. Most of the golf I play any more is there and normally the front nine only.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By BabaYaga ·

      39-35 today for a +2 (74) on a 72.6/129. Struggled over the first few holes as I bogeyed five straight to start. Wasn't even striking the ball bad - just couldn't hit a green and didn't hit good chips + one penalty. Then I went -3 over the next 6 to save the round and then parred the last 7. Golf is fun.

      The Holdovers. Birdie. I’m a big Paul Giamatti fan and felt this was an exceptional performance. The film has a great blend of comedy and heart felt drama.

      I rewatched this last night on HBO Max, and I re-affirm this. I loved Dune Par 1. It finally brought Dune to the big screen in the best way possible. Dune Part 2 is so much better, which is impressive. I like the direction they went with the characters in the story compared to the books. It was brought up to date in a good way. Yea, I am glad to see that they are working on Dune Part 3.
