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:

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      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.
