Was the option of dropping near the point where the ball entered the hazard on the first shot not available? Or is it a local rule that you have to drop it in the drop zone?

Yellow penalty area.

Um, not a local rule, it's the rule: 26-1a and b. You have to go back to the point he ball last crossed the margin of the hazard, so your only options are to either replay the shot or got to the designated drop zone.

Those are the old rules.

Oh boy... Furyk just hit the flagstick with a putt on 17 and the ball stayed out. 

Cant wait to hear from everyone who doesn't believe in keeping the flagstick in :-X

Sir Nick stated that the ball would have bounced over the hole at the speed it was going.

Yup, but I'm sure those arguing against leaving the flagstick in will forget to include that statement in their argument.

 

Wow Fleetwood is playing really really solid golf lately. Just made an eagle from the bunker to go to -10

aahhhhhhhh!  it's called a "putt", not an "effort"

For sure.

I also like when they hit a good shot from the rough it's called "creativity."

WTH?

Really surprising to see Tiger take that 7. It's not a hole he's had demons with in the past, there was virtually no wind and and he has all that room the middle of the green. Was just a bit overly aggressive. Other than that, besides a few poor putts here and there, he played really well. Take that 7 away and he's right in the mix. 

That being said, given the weather forecast this weekend, he can go out a little earlier tomorrow, shoot a 67 and be right in the hunt. Scores should back up with some more wind and cold weather tomorrow.

Yup. I'd be interested to know if he was trying to aim for the back of the green and just pulled it a bit, or if he was aiming for the middle of the green and just hit a really really poor shot for where he was aiming.

I can see being aggressive more on the drop shot because you want to minimize the damage and go for the 4, but that first shot was bad. Especially the way he was swinging his irons.

Another one from the announcers, Rory had 136 yds left and was in the fairway, "Oh he's got to get this one within 10 feet"

Meanwhile from 100-125 yds this season Rory is averaging 19'11" and the best players on tour from that distance are averaging 11-12 feet...

I’m waiting to hear how impossibly difficult this shot is. Or did I miss it already?

Tragic to hear about Tiger's two in the water.  By contrast, I think Jim Furyk achieved the professional version of the "no 6s" challenge today, so if he becomes a regular at TST at some point, we should make sure to have a "No 5s" badge for him.

How about how well-judged it was, as to the impossibility?  What kind of effort did he put into his judgement, or how much judgment did he display in making his effort?

Tracker mentioned that Tiger is the only one to hit it in the water today on 17. He's also the only one to hit 2 in the water on 17.

FML.

    • 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.
