US is sitting Phil, Bryson, Bubba, and Webb. I'm not sure I like sitting Webb for fourball, because he has made a lot of birdies and eagles this year.

Europe is sitting Poulter, Garcia, Stenson, Noren. I'm surprised Europe is sitting Poulter.

Speaking of Reed....I missed the opening ceremonies but TC was saying that Reed got booed when he got introduced ??😂

 

As expected. Somewhat unexpected from the Euro crowd: Tiger received a huge ovation and "Tiger" chants that lasted a pretty long time.

No, we Euros respect Tiger a lot. Off course he gets well deserved ovations.

Really? Tiger Woods? The guy with 80 wins and 14 majors? The guy that just won his 80th after years of injuries and struggles. The GOAT? I'd be surprised if he didn't get ovations.

I was so disappointed today. Forgot that the RC is a three-day event.

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

Good. 

 

I’ll be cheering for America, my home, except for when Patrick Reed is playing. I will always root against Reed

 

Edit: just saw Reed and Tiger are paired together. Hugely disappointing pairing. I hate to root against Tiger, for whom I have great respect, but to hell with Patrick Reed

I see it going well for the U.S.

Hopefully.

Patrick Reed was kicked out of UGA for stealing from his teammates. He was also reputedly a cheater during his time there. He has a poor reputation around these parts.

 

I’ve never been so upset about the winner of a golf tournament as I was when he won the Masters. Least deserving Green Jacket winner ever

It had the betting odds, just wanted to get an idea of what the bookies thought. The line on the Reed/Woods match was interesting, I thought Reed/Woods would be more favored.

Molinari and Fleetwood might be the two best ball strikers on the European team. Woods is obviously the greatest ball striker of all time, but Reed isn't in same league as the other 3. I'm not surprised it's that close. 

I'm actually a little surprised Rahm and Rose are favored over Koepka and Finau. Pretty significantly, too. Interesting.

Oh brother.....none of that showed to have any convincing evidence.

It’s corroborated by one of the coaches on the team. Basically everyone he played with in college says he’s a scumbag. Most of the players on tour dislike him. Maybe there’s something to it?

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
