So far so good. Tiger’s distance control is spot on. Gotta go on a birdie fest.

They don't have golf stores or pro shops in Manchester?

Can you imagine the reaction from sponsors if someone won an important trophy with a putter they got in the $39 used bin?

I dig double hole greens like 5/14 at Carnoustie. Very cool, old school. There was a teachable moment when Tiger waited for a golfer to put on 14. And waited until the other guy putted out before he lined up his own putt. If he had been practicing ready golf, tv could have told viewers that ready golf speeds up the game. Do we really need to see him walking around and squatting?  

He sank the putt, so what do I know?

Phil apparently got a larger shirt size😄. Little more room in that one.

... and Pepperell in at -5.  So Jason Day, the previous clubhouse leader at -2, can pack his bags.

Top five finish. 1-5% chance to win.

Of course.  But if I were him, I wouldn't leave the course just yet.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Tiger's ball listens to him.  Mine never listens to me, but last week it did listen to my fellow competitor three times.  After the round I told him I hope to never draw him as an opponent in match play.

Dear television,

Since we're only going to see one shot from Langer evidently, why did you make it one where it looked like he was anchoring?

And then he took off his hat and it looked like he wanted a Mohawk at the last minute.

That one-hit wonder that I didn't want winning ----hated it when Shaun Micheel won the PGA.  Rather see the generations best win the big ones and not the one (Paul Lawrie) that you won't hear from again......

Did anyone catch the post-round interview with Jordan Speith? One tiny thing that jarred me, that seemed off-key, esp for Speith. When it seemed to go a bit long when he was asked to comment on another golfer, he said, "I don't get paid for this." 

I think she noticed it, because she said, "Let's get back to what you are paid to do," and asked him a question. Did this seem kind of weird to anyone else?

I know, picky, but I find it interesting to see unguarded moments.

Oh but we got such a great Paul Lawrie moment a few years after that win.  He was playing in the Scottish Open with Boo Weekley and Boo asked him if he was playing in the British Open the next week.  When he said yes, Boo asked him how he qualified.  Paul didn't know what to make of this comment, but it was genuine from Boo, who later explained he genuinely didn't know that Lawrie won in '99 because "I don't follow golf."

Really? He's been a really solid player on the European Tour for a while now and contended for the 2015 Open before he hit OOB on the 17th in the final round.

For those also following the lag putting thread, that was a very good putt from 94 feet.

Update: and a very good two-putt from 94 feet :-)

Looks like Spieth and Schauffele are both about to drop one, as well.

Did he use the computer track? The one that went off the green and came back on? lol

Xander and Spieth potentially could drop a shot and Tiger just birdied.

They may hear the footsteps soon...

      My Non-technical Review of the Titleist Tr2 Hybrid

      By snapfade ·

      I believe @GolfLug ask me to post my thoughts on it, but this for anyone interested on an unbiased review. I got the 4 hybrid with a Tensie AV Blue 65g R flex shaft.  This club had one requirement. hit the ball 180 yards. 175-178 is all I can get out of it and I am fine with that.  It did not come with a wrench. Two things about that. One, I have a wrench, two, I have no need to make an adjustment. I thought about adjusting it to close to a 3 to get an extra yard or two, but really no need to. Hits off the fairway with no issue and I took a few whacks out of the rough and seems to do its job. Our rough is not that bad so for any thick stuff I dont know. Bottom line it works. It does its job for me without issue. One thing that so far has been good is that it doesn't bleed off to the right like my driving iron did. It had a gentle fade to it that I had to compensate for when I aimed. I hit this pretty straight so far. Not too high of a ball flight. The shaft is a "mid launch" shaft. I did not Mevo this. The only number I cared about was max distance. If I was all over the place with it I would have tinkered with it and had the Mevo out, but no need. I hit about 40 balls or so with it on the range and then played. I like it , I might get a 5 now. They are $249.00 at retailers everywhere. New models are coming I'm told so that's why they are on sale. Sorry for the lack of technical launch monitor data, the end result was what I was looking at and it did it right out of the gate.  Don't care how and why. LOL Just a moment...

      Congrats! Day 551, May 6, 2024 Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY hitting irons only and playing the white tees. No really "bad" shots, and a few really, really good ones. Finished on nine (they send us off 10 in May) with… a 197-yard 5I uphill and an 84-yard sand wedge to three feet.

      @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
