I tend to believe he's pissed at the way he's played, which is understandable, reality show or not. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've always liked him. I've not cared for the way he's carried himself all the time, but he is a draw with entertainment written all over him. I hope he rebounds.

Nice sticks. I wish I would have held off buying my Titleist ZM & ZB last spring. I would much rather have the new 710 Muscles...

http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/go...rn=golf,216497 Should the governing bodies change the rules so the "grandfathering" of clubs is eliminated? I don't know. However, the Phil bashing is unwarranted in my view if he is 1) not breaking the rules as defined, and 2) other pro's are just as able to take advantage of said rules. Edit: I didn't see Iacas' thread earlier on Phil's wedge change, so delete or merge if applicable. I found it interesting how he's getting bashed.

I'm going with the Vikings over the Colts in a classic matchup between two of the greatest QB's who have ever lived.

Great. Now I have two more ball choices to contemplate: Fuschida's or Jupiters. When will it end...

I'm late to the party, and I didn't see the telecast. I'm just curious if his definition of "target" is the flagstick?

Hogan didn't play in the PGA that year, so no, he didn't win the Slam.

Titleist.

Never been there myself, but have had a family member and a couple friends play. Each said it was worth the money to do it one time.

Don't they do this every year at this time? It's normally called Tiger Week at the end of December - early January. I thought it had to do with his b-day being on the 28th of Dec. or something. (?)

Of course Tiger's achievement is considered close. I guess I rate Tiger separate from everyone else.

I've only played the Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World, just to play a course where the pro's played. It was OK, nothing spectacular. I'm sure there are better layouts in the area. Here are a couple of threads regarding the topic, if you haven't searched already: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...-Area-Courses? http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...f-trip-in-Feb?

Agreed. Didn't use the right sarcasm face.

His attorney did all the talking, as Tiger had his mouth closed... I don't think anybody should be surprised about AT&T; dropping.

I've never really thought about it until now. The longest set of tees I've ever played was probably 6800, and I didn't score well, but it wasn't because of the length. I have never played a course from the tips. Might have to try it in 2010. Local muni is 7200 from way back there. As far as most comfortable? Can't answer that. I would guess 6300-6600.

He still can win the grand slam. Bobby Jones won 'his' slam (or what was considered the slam back in his day), and Hogan won three (debatable whether he would have won the PGA if he had played). I would call those close. But the modern slam -- no one has come close.

I like Alabama. I think their defense will shut down Texas and win by a couple of scores.

44.5" Been all over throughout the years, from 47" down to 43" playing around to see what worked and what didn't. Been steady at 44.5" for three years now.

I have a Sony Bravia as well. Excellent, highly recommended.

OK, I've resisted this thread long enough. There's been a Hammer in our pro shop for all of 2009 with an asking price of $85. No takers. Enough said. The only Jack Ham I'll ever purchase anything from has one "m" in his name. Maybe a game worn jersey??

I have each style, a Contour and MyJoy. Been wearing those two styles for quite a while and very happy with both.

Couldn't help but give it the old with the eyes when I read that. Possible? I suppose, but when it gets passed on by third and fourth parties one has to wonder.

Walkers are welcome during winter while the ground is fozen, but we put flags on approaches in front of the greens. When thaw arrives, we close the course until the greens are firmed up so as not to get foot printing. Carts are obviously not allowed until ground is firmed up as well, but even at that they are delayed until course is somewhat cleaned up from winter debris. The maintenance crew doesn't need their job any harder by carts breaking up sticks and causing ruts made in certain areas that don't firm up as fast. Every course is different, mostly due to whether or not it's private or public. In these times, I've known public courses to never close because the revenue is needed.

I revere Ben Hogan's game. He is the perfect representation of diligence and hard work. He struggled profusely with his golf game early on and beat golf balls forever. He got to the point of domination when the unfortunate accident sidetracked him, but regained his skills through unbelievable rehabilitation to dominate, again . I'm sure everyone knows the story. As far as his personality, I tend to give him somewhat of a pass due to watching his father put a revolver to his head when Ben was 7 or 8, but beyond that I don't dwell on Hogan the man. I think he was very complex and misunderstood. You read a lot of quotes from others, but you rarely read anything from the one man who probably knew him best and grew up with him, Byron Nelson. There was probably no one who understood Hogan better, but that's just an opinion.

Best score 104.02. Far too many airballs, bricks, and clanks. Not too far from reality.
