I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.

Cam Young hit those incredible shots.

Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

I got two trips lined up this year. First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone. Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

Got my first eagle of the year as well, our 17th hole, holed out from 105 Yards.

I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope. I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding. Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).

Hahaha. Love how you put rancho park and wilson/harding in there! Not exactly the same kind of challenge as some of the other courses on your list! Though the plaque on 18 at Rancho Park about Palmer's 18 there during an LA Open is hilarious.

These are the courses that I remember, but there may be others that I’m not remembering at the moment. I broke 100 atOakland Hills one time, but what I shot otherwise will be taken to the grave with me. Country Club of the North - Several LPGA tournaments NCR Country Club South Course - 51st PGA, 41st US Women’s Open, 05 US Senior Open (attended) TPC Michigan - Ford Senior Players Championship Valhalla - 24, 14, 2000, and 96 PGA Championships, 11, and 04 Senior PGA Championships, 08 Ryder Cup Oakland Hills - 08 PGA Championship, 04 Ryder Cup, 96, 85, 61 and other US Opens TPC Sawgrass - The Players Championship

Followed by the longest drive on 18 in the shotlink era. That is a tough shot and he stood up there and did it. Fair play to him.

Speed, then green reading.

Forgot Kapalua, kaanapali, Red Rock

Dublin Coddle (Irish Sausage and Potato Stew is my guess. I would go with haggis, but that is Scottish.

I have to say that watching The Players Championship this year was a different experience just like watching The Masters has been since I was there for a practice round. No, I didn’t play that course, but I would do some extremely sketchy 💩to play there.

Torrey Pines PGA West Stadium, and the two Jacks and the Palmer Rancho park Wilson/Harding (like Rancho LA Open way back in the day) Riviera (dozens of times in high school) Wilshire Rancho Mirage Trump National Indian Wells

Clutch tee shot on 17 followed by making the putt for birdie was certainly incredible.

Agree. I’d rather see everyone make incredible shots to win than see a collapse.

Three hole match - microphones on in the cart. It's fascinating listening to them talk about their shots and how they play them. I'm not normally a huge fan of the TM videos - they seem forced to me - but this one doesn't. It's also fun seeing their competitiveness over what on the face of it is a fairly meaningless 3 holes, but they can't help themselves.

Focus on width at P2 (no collapse of trail elbow), and then a robust left arm structure at P4 (looking for arm to reach eye to ball plane level visually to ensure a full lift). Am incorporating more time with the 3W this year as I believe it is as intolerant a club of anything but a quality tempo, path and clubface control as any. Game time speed maybe a few months away but I'm grateful to be swinging at all at this stage of recovery.

Humerus.

What do you think?

Thanks! Better though? Not worried about overdoing it yet. These were also the best videos of several I took. More to be done for sure but moving in the right direction I think.

Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.

My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄 The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13. Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week. In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.

Domino's. 🙂

Knocked out my first Eagle of the season this past Wednesday. 3W from 200 yds out in the cold (for us) and windy conditions.

I could be wrong, but this reads like ChatGPT wrote this.

Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.
