I voted for the US Open but I think my decision is somewhat swayed by the fact that it was so much better than the Masters this year. Who knows how I would have voted if this question was ask in 2005.

To me, 100 yards with a lob wedge seems long. I currently have a 56* sand wedge that, if I took a full swing, which I never do with my gap or sand wedge, would go 100 yards. I don't use my 56* though for anything past 90 yards. My 53* is for 90-110 yards and than my 46* PW is for 115-135 yards.

I broke 80 for the first time on Sunday. 79 (+9) with a birdie on 18. It was on a pretty easy course but I am still excited about it. It should have be a 76 but I missed three 3-footes which really pissed me off. I did make a sweaping left to right, 8 footer for the birdie on 18 though so that was nice.

While I would have liked Christina to stand up for herself, it isn't just Lori that she would have had to stand up to in this case. She is really going up against everyone. If you remember, Lori wasn't even the first to say something about Christina tapping down the ground. It was actually Kim who first said something. I hate Lori as much as everyone else but she is not the only one who is giving Christina grief.

Current set up 46, 52 and 56. After next week 46, 52 and 58.

Asking to be a member is actually frowned upon.

The player would have to finish the round before raking the bunker...right? What if this situation happened on the 3rd hole, and the player is in the bunker on the 15th hole. This rule would still affect him/her as "testing the conditions of a similar hazard".

It seems as though that just be standing in the bunker, he would be testing the conditions of the hazard. This still does not make sense to me.

Just looking at a couple of videos on youtube, it looks like Hogans lower body was more quite in his back swing than Snead. His hips didn't turn as much and his left foot stays on the ground. These are things that I have been working on so I voted Hogan.

I received this link in an email today and thought of the thread. Kind of funny. http://www.golf.com/golf/video/artic...t031008_story4

I think you are forgetting that in the case of Peter Uihlein, it takes a tremendous amount of natural ability and dedication to get as good as he is. He is not as good as he is just "because of money and access to academies and stuff like that." I don't know this kid but I bet he put some serious time and hard work into his game and you are severly underestimating that.

I'm heading to South Carolina on the 7th for a quick golf weekend. I can't wait to get out of the midwest cold for a couple of days!

I have a pretty big distance gap between my 3-wood and 3 hybrid. So if I were to add an additional club, it would be a 2 hybrid. I don't think it would help my handicap that much. For the courses I play at every year, it may only help 3-4 times a year on a couple of long par 3's.

Phil admits to having an arc in his putting stroke on the Odyssey golf website. http://www.odysseygolf.com/en.PUTTING.PUTTINGTIPS.html . Click on middle "phils tips" video and he talks about having an arc putting path.

I learned a lot from it eventhough I am more of a "Utley" style of putting.

Some buddies and I are really getting the itch to tee it up. We would like to take a quick trip at the beginning of March. I was wondering where you think the best place to go to would be? Some thoughts about the trip. We are looking to fly in Friday night, golf 36 Saturday, 18 Sunday and fly home Sunday night. Looking for resonably priced course (whatever that maybe, under $100?) Looking for somwhere with dependable weather. Two places we are thinking about are Alabama and Austin TX. I don't know much about Austin but I heard it's a great town with good golf. Florida seems to expensive. Thanks for your input

I haven't played it but I have heard that the Ocean Course is so hard that it is unfair. I have talked to two people who have played it, a 2 and a 5 handicap, and they both said they won't go back. They say it's just not fair.

I like The Office, American version, but I think that this season has been sub par. It has/had been a very funny season for My Name is Earl. Entourage rules. The best show this year for me though was Curb Your Enthusiasm. Absolutly hilarious season. Probebly my favorite so far. I hope Larry David is not done with this show yet.

I have taken several lessons over the past year and it has helped my game significantly. I marked "could not practice enough" because I love to practice now that I have something to work on.

I would think he would consider it to help get out of the rough. A hybrid is great out of the long stuff while a two iron is next to impossible.

Anyone play this on PS3? Madden '08 was such a disappointment that I am hesitant of all EA games now.

I said 3-4 strokes per round but I think it depends on how difficult the course is. The more forgiving it is, the less "local knowledge" matters. On a tougher course, strategy and ball placement becomes more important.

Did anyone see the one of Tiger trying to draw the ball into the wind, on the par three? When he hit the ball, it started to draw but than the wind pushed the ball way right and the ball flight formed an "S" curve. Really cool to see with the ball flight tracker.

I tried to hover today at the range. I didn't like it for some reason. It didn't feel right.
