Missed two very makeable birdies already. His last 3 big putts were dreadful going back to 18 yest. Should be -5.

That kid ‘Killen’ is probably sweating bullets. Lol. But yeah..-5 is where he should be. Seems last time as well Tiger has these dopey errors that would otherwise have him at the top of the board. Annoying as hell.

Tiger practically yipped that 4 footer on 18 yesterday. Not good at all. For most of this season, It seems like he coughs up a short stabby stroke whenever he stands over putts like those.  He's becoming Ben Hogan at the end of career where he cant make a pressure putt outside of 2 feet. 

The graphic they showed right before the putt said he has like like an 81 (IIRC) make percentage from that distance. That means hes still going to miss roughly 1 out of every 5 of those putts. Golf is hard.

The one putt probability on the PGA tour from 15 feet is only 23%.. The two "very makeable" birdie putts you are referring to were 15 ft 2 inches and 14 ft 1 inch. That means on average he is going to miss more than 7 out of 10 from that distance. So no, he shouldn't be -5.

Sorry for having high expectations of him. But the putt on 11 didn’t even sniff the hole and the putt on 18 yesterday was horrible. Just saying the putter doesn’t look any different than it did a few weeks ago.

There's a 14 footer for birdie. 

Back to back and sitting at -4 now.

Well damn it he should’ve hit it closer to the pin then.😁

Playing 14 now, though. If he pars that hole, might as well mark it a birdie. Don’t think there are many holes in the world he plays worse than that one.

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

He pulled the tee shot long and left and it took a pretty big bounce on the back edge of the green and barely trickled into the water on the edge of the walking path off the back of the green.

Then from the drop zone he carried it too far and it one hopped on the back edge and went right into the water again.

Put his second shot from the drop zone to about 20 feet and then 2 putted for a 7.

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?

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.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
