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 could catch break if wind is so bad they suspend play. That course will be unplayable in 30mph gusts. The projected wind direction goes right down the slope of the 7th green. That hole won’t be able to hold balls.

How did Tiger rate to get to play with the number one and number two players in the world?

 

Lol! Yeah ok. Great question. It’s fine if you just don’t like Tiger, but don’t attempt to devalue his accomplishments or place in the golf world. You’d just be making an ass of yourself. Go start your Ben Crane or Danny Willet fan club and spare us all the nonsense.

I have an unsettling feeling Stenson is gonna shoot low. I don’t dislike him but I’m just not a huge fan...kinda too robot like for me. I know he trys to be funny and doesn’t try too hard like Peter Jacobsen (not funny), but I think he’s a strong threat.

I agree he is a strong threat. Leads tour in fwy accuracy and GIRs...a pretty good combination anywhere but especially at a US Open I would think.

Fleetwood was my danger guy this week but don’t like his tee time. PM guys tomorrow could get screwed. Worst part is the wind on Friday is projected to be bad only in morning. Hoping for Tiger to contend, though.

Keep an eye on Branden Grace. He’s got some good major championship finishes and is quietly playing well.

Right on.

We will just ignore the right times he’s done it this season so far…

Please cite your evidence for this nonsense.

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

Neither can a lot of the guys out there. I couldn’t play 72 holes without some Naproxen. Oh...Tiger uses Ibuprofen ...big story there.

Yeah Grace can post a good score. He was threatening at Chambers until he hit that drive ob over the fence right?

My favorite is Rory.

Roller Coaster Rory? Depends on which game he brings for sure. And the short putts..could kill him At Shinnecock.

Do you call him Tigs? I've never seen or heard anyone call him Tigs.

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

They said on TGC up to 30mph tomorrow. Remember it’s a seaside course so many times it’s going to be higher than what they say for the town. Davis hinted today about possible suspension if it’s bad. Hope it won’t be that bad, though. Also hope there’s not going to be a huge advantage for morning guys over afternoon guys. Hate when half the field gets screwed. Could be tough for Tiger.

 

Ah, that makes it worse. Here's the current forecast. Tiger is definitely going out there when the wind is predicted to be at its highest, but everyone will be out there in 13+ mph winds. The early players are getting the best conditions. Since it's seaside, there might be more gusts, which are difficult to predict and can come while the player is getting ready to take the shot.

On Friday it's the opposite. The early tee times gets the wind, while the last groups will play in much calmer conditions. Tiger pretty much got the worst tee times you can this Thursday and Friday. Especially Thursday could be a day about trying to avoid too many dropped shots, rather than shooting anything low.

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By 4zim ·

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
