This better not be one of those days where Tiger makes 16 pars, a birdie and a bogey.

What would they delay because of? Wind or lightning?

The chance of rain, at Augusta tomorrow, is currently 90%.  Unless the front takes a left turn...we are most likely looking at a Monday finish.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Poulter's driver swing is not a thing of grace, but it did the job.

At least it clears up Colin's weekend.

I'm actually gong to go out and play. Got a 520 tee time for 9 holes. Too bad I can't get out earlier

How much rain is expected? I don't understand foreign rain predictions. Here I'm used to predictions in millimeters per hour.

Tiger might be (is?) the best iron player of all time.

 

What a day for Simpson so far. Will be interesting to see how far he's back at the end of the day, but an incredible scorecard either way.

Just looked at the leaderboard for the first time today. See what happens when you don’t twist your ankle? If Woods doesn’t win it, Finau would be my second.

Of all time, certainly, but I'm not sure I'd put his iron play clearly top in the world as things stand. His approach play from inside 150 though, I definitely would. Not that I have any statistical proof - just what I remember seeing!

I hope not. Was going to take Finau in my pool and at the last second put in Casey. Ugh. Could be a $500 mistake.

Too bad Joe is such a dead beat caddie. Tiger obviously not making the nice smooth swing with his driver he did yesterday. It's rushed and wild. Needs to calm down and get that controlled swing back. If not, here come the bogies and par scrambles....out of it.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
