tomvk77

last week he opened with a +1 round and ended up in 4th place, so take it easy ok! right now +2 for his round not looking good at all. fingers crossed

Holmes an Palmer out. Lois Oosthuisen and Brandon Grace in. Interesting pick on Fleetwood he has a huge record on that course.... if he will be able to handle it under this pressure??? lets see, looking forward to it for sure. What about Tiger will he make it into the top 10 or will he miss cut???

I like Rocky Fowlers chances. He likes to play links, and just won in Scotland. Tiger seems to hitting the ball pretty well also, saw some video's him practicing at the course, he pretty much hit all the fairways again. And also with driver. Well my hopes are for Joost Luiten, after a decent finish T4 in Scotland he seems to get a bit off form. Now he should play 3 good rounds and a decent one. In scotland he started with a +1 round in fairly easy conditions, but a sensational second round (63 -7) and a very good third round (66 -4) put him in T3 position for sunday only 2 back. To bad he posted a level par 70 to finish T4 while playing partner Ricky Fowler birdied the last and carded a 68 -2 and won the tournament.

Actually my clubs are traveling about the same distance, for me a 7iron carries about 165yards, don't have the feeling i should hit them further. It's not all about distance you know, consistancy is way more important. I would hate it if my 7iron would go 160 and than 199.

Ernie Els swing putting like speith Mindset Tiger Woods

Out here it's rather the same with club championships. We've got a number off low cappers i mean 2-3 cappers. They somehow all shoot scores high in the 70 ( i play a par 70 course ) we play a 3 round tournament and always winning score is always about 15 over par. I guess it's the nerves a bit. Only ones i saw a under par round, it was a young bloke 14 years old he shot a 69. but also had a 81.

Yeah but putting is all about confidence, if you have a putter in hand you don't feel confident with, pretty sure your not making a lot off them

As i said it's kinda personal. If this is the case don't do a thing about your setup. if this works for you than stick to it.

Well it's personal. i think the gap between pw and sand wedge is to big. I carry a gap wedge 52 and a sand wedge 58. But than i carry a 2 iron lofted hybrid and a 3 iron. if i would rebuild my set i would not carry a 3 iron anymore. 52,56,60 for the wedges

pure shape wise i would not hit those. they look so ugly

It might be a big step to go with the forged ones. But i suggest that you just go out and try them. maybe even more important try to find the right shaft. I play the MP 59's never ever had thought i should play the KBS Tour stiff shafts but so glad i have them.

finding time to play

A good drill is the old head cover drill. Put a head cover under your right arm and keep it there. It may fall down after you hit the golfball, swing the club outside in and it will fall on the backswing

Why are you guys all picking on Tiger for This. if this is true amanda should be the one to blame. She than is the bitch ****ing your husbands friend. She is the one that was married.

Huh? I don't get this? What club are you using the most in a round? Wedge, driver, 3 wood or the putter? as a hdc 4 your average score would be 76 in a par72. If you count 2 putts on a hole that makes 36 putts so almost half of your shots go with the putter, and you suggest that he should be playing with a putter he's not confident with? I think he's smart to go for a putter first. Not totally agree with what he's looking for. Looks like he's a fan off Rory and would like a same putter. I think this is not the way to search for a new putter. I'm about to change my putter, but as mentioned above i don't go after just one try. I think my new putter will be the Odyssey nr. 7. For me it's perfect and easier to keep the putterhead straight.

last year i played quarter finals and my opponent did the same thing, trying to get to me, i'm pretty easy in these things and just don't hear what he is saying. I had a caddy that day he did to, we had a hole par 3 180 yards over water, i knew he always had one more club than i hit. Told to my caddy i'm going to ask for a 7 iron but just give me 6. I hit the 6 iron on the green and he hit a 6 iron ( he trusted on my club selection ) in the water. if you want to get dirty this is a nice way.

JUST LET YOUR GOLF DO THE TALKING! Focus on the shots and finish him off.

I think both actually. I remember Tiger's reaction at the masters where he hit the flagstick with a shot and it bounced off into the water. he dropped a ball a few feet away from the first shot and he told after that he could repeat the swing, so he was sure not to hit the flag the second time. Now i know tiger is a whole different level, but i can imagine that this works at some level for everyone. at 110 yards i use a 3/4 PW i hardly mis greens with that type of shot. As for mindset, if you can picture ( see) the shot before you hit it, it most likely go well

I use the interlock grip. It somehow gives me a more stable feeling in the swing. i do have to look after one thing tho i sometimes take a to strong grip and than i can hit some massive hooks

Well the only thing standard in my clubs are the lie. Lofts and shafts are custom specs. It's not that you buy new clubs each year so i would go for a new set irons fully fitted, and go for a used driver. If you search for a driver 2 years old, you can most likely customize them. And you can always buy a new shaft in them later....

I play 59's also, i don't take very good care of them, i clean them maybe 3 times a year. i do clean them with a towel after shots, but i never had any rust on them. i see little dot's on the shaft now, but still in good condition.

I don't think you will gain more distance over a 2 year old driver. Best advice i can give you is keep the R1 driver and take a few lessons with your local pro.

After a first rond level par. ( complains about the greens ) he just finished his second round -5. ending with 3 straight birdies. The round included 2 bogeys also About the greens all the players have something to say about them.......

Likes: Tiger Woods --> got to love the effort he makes to come back Rory Mc Ilroy --> i just love his swing rhythm Ricky Fowler --> just a nice guy dislikes: Sergio Garcia --> seems he doesn't like to be on the course Keegan Bradley --> can't stand him Jason Dufner --> that pre shot routine.....

Good start from Joost today 5 holes played 5 GIR 2 birdies 3 tap in pars
