Just doesn’t seem natural to me, but hey I’ll get over it. I guess it’s just the way it is now.

It doesn't surprise me any more, but I'd feel like an ass cheering for a Red October.

Well played team Europe, and well done Bjorn who obviously knows his stuff better than most of us give him credit for. Great tournament 👍

I think the posts about it being an exhibition and players not caring is sour grapes.  The players care (especially the younger guys)  they just lost.  No excuses about it they just need to play bette

There is a classic management mistake known as "hoping for A while rewarding for B." As you note, we hope that our players will perform well on one type of course, while we select them based on their

I do not like our pairings this afternoon. Phil does not look sharp.  Dj and Rickie look like they lost some energy. It is showing in he scores so far. I hope we can grab at least a point this afternoon

Featured match on CBS is the the DJ/RF vs. JR/HS but I think the JT/JS vs FM/TF seems like it would be a fun match to watch. THey all did well in the 1 session and are playing with a bit of fire in their bellies.

Is it a good idea to match the rookie Bryson with the shaky Phil?

I didn't like that duo, I always thought Bryson was hit or miss this year. When he is on it looks good but when he is off it seems really bad. 

Wow USA can't buy a put this afternoon.

I tuned in to watch DJ miss a 3-5ft'er and then a double cross on the next tee.  I'll take a break from my 5 min of watching.

I wish the teams had two distinct colored shirts. A lot of guys wearing the dark blue shirts. Throws me off a bit at first glance. Not a huge deal would just like to see some color disparity.

Yea... agree. At first glance I look at the pants. USA in white, Euro in dark.

Couldn’t ask for a better pair for the under pressure Garcia and the rookie Noren to play against.

looks good for Europe right now, but anything less than 3 and a half points from this afternoon would be disappointing. Can’t risk letting them back.

Phil and BD pairing makes no sense. BD approaches the game like a robot and tries to approach every shot scientifically (literally). Why would you pair him out n alternate shot with a guy who is a total free wheeler on the course?  Fourball would be one thing, but alternate shot is just stupid. Also why no Reed/Spieth pairing?

      My Swing (billchao)

      By 4zim ·

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By retoid ·

      Took my wedges in to get regripped and saw the local store had some leftover Pure grips, was pretty excited to see those still around. Got those put onto my wedges, I love these grips, they have such a great feel to them. Also picked up a brand new (opened and second hand) Cleveland Huntington Beach putter for a great price! About %50 of retail. It had been purchased by someone else who decided to buy a different putter and was never used. I love the feel of it.
