Did not know Fowler was using a stand bag. Is it just today or the whole tournament?

 

I think for the tournament as a tribute to the amateurs in the field.

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:

Do you think it would be fair to assume that a 10 could make at least 1 birdie on the easier holes, and 2-3 pars?

Probably not. The thing that people don't realise is that if they hit a six iron to what might be 6 feet from the hole at their course, the same shot might roll off the green and end up 20 metres down a slope. The putt they think from 20 feet away is going to be stone dead goes 12 feet past and they three putt from 4 feet 4 times. I mean - do you think this guy isn't a plus handicap?

I find it a bit irritating, the discussion here about a 10 hcp amateur. Might be because Tiger is not playing as good as I want him to play.

Go Tiger, go!

Tiger's third shot at #10.  So intimidating.  So scary looking.  So [redacted] good.

Tiger still even after his first hole.  Keep up the good work and try to improve on it!

As a scratch player.. i think i´m 10 strokes behind a pro player in PGA tour course conditions.
Make it 12..13 on US Open conditions and maybe 16..17 on today wind conditions. 
Today scoring average it´s 75 (+5). I guess i would shoot in average 92(+22).
If i´m 17 strokes behind a tour pro i think i´m 17 strokes ahead a 10 index, so i think he would shoot in average 110 (+40). Double bogey golf.

Unlucky the guy that hit the flagstick from greenside bunker and had it come back into the bunker.

He’s about to lose one here at 11. Just so hard to play even par golf on this course when there are really no birdie holes other than 5.

I forget, are players allowed to make birdies on holes other than 5?  Because I think I've seen some.

I don't mind watching the Tiger group, but they are barely showing anyone else. Some Molinari shots and a few here and there. I think they are showing too much of that featured group today.

Tiger came so close on #12.  Nice TW by TW. 

Good to hear commentators criticizing "conservative off the tee."

There have been some...but not many. And so far none from Tiger.

What is more impressive from DJ today? Only one bogey so far or 4 birds?

When was the last time Tiger had two double-bogey-or-worses in an opening round of a U.S. Open and how did he fare that year?

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
