  1. No. He's finished. His swing is now built to protect elements of his body that break down regularly, and that syrupy Els-like swing has now disappeared, replace by a hoik that looks like a guy throwing a sack of cats off of a pier. His head bobs up and down like a Johnny Football bobblehead. Finished. Sideshow Bob.
  2. Mahan isn't fit to carry Langer's school satchel.
  3. Child, silence. In professional golf, you have to be honourable - if players look at you and detect a whiff of dishonesty, your credibility is shot. Tringale's 'DQ' warrants investigation, but as ever, the PGA just brush it, as they have done so many times.
  4. 1. He whiffed it. 2. He knew he whiffed it. 3. He can count. 4. He recorded a 4. 5. He should have recorded a 5. 6. He allowed the person keeping his score to mark him for 4. 7. He should have told the person keeping his score to mark him for 5. 8. He played 7 more holes and said nothing. 9. Upon reviewing the cards he said nothing. 10. He knowingly signed for a 4 on #11 when he had actually made a 5. 11. He accepted $53,000 all while knowing he had signed an incorrect scorecard. How is a suspension for cheating not in order? And to quote Bobby Jones, him DQ'ing himself and you applauding it is like applauding a bankrobber returning the money.
  5. It's just a flat out disgrace Tringale is in the mix this week - he should be serving a one-year suspension.
  6. If you anchor, you cheat.
  7. Problem with Scott is that, like Bradley, every history book that has a mention of his tournament / major wins will show Adam Scott - Masters Winner 2013 * (* used putter now illegal) Tringale should not even be on the tour, let alone be at the top of the leaderboard. He should be serving a ban for knowingly lying to his playing partner, marking an incorrect score knowingly and signing it in as legit knowingly. Far from being a sign of 'good karma' for Tringale, it's worthy of actually holding an investigation into him and finding out why he came forward before someone else shouted about it.
  8. That was a perfect lie and just a poorly executed shot - landed a good 15 yards further than his intended land spot. Chose a club with way too much bounce. Mickelson's form is alarming given the RC is charging towards us.
  9. ''He's just not that great. I think Rory will be the next Lee Westwood, albeit with a prettier swing. I know a lot of you think/wish/hope he'll be the second coming, but I'm not buying that product. He hasn't shown me that fire you need to be a multiple major winner. I say he finishes his career with 2, maybe 3 majors and 10-15 tournament wins.'' Wow. Just read that. That's hilarious, but ya know hindsight..20/20...lol.
  10. Sabatini is fine and should be applauded - he abhors slow play and lets people know it. Quite right too. None of these people I know and so the idea that I 'hate them' or 'root against them' - how can I?
  11. You know, most architects would tell you that a blind tee-shot over greenskeeper's sheds and over a hotels ornamental pond is, at best, a bit odd. It is a one-dimensional hole, that requires one type of shot for a tee-shot (a fade for a lefty, a draw for a righty), then a shot that is hit pretty much straight. The fun of the hole is around the green - everything else is stupid and would not be built in the modern era. If Robert Trent-Jones or Pete Dye built a tee shot like that, they would get castigated.
  12. What, you mean the way McIlroy thought his way around? What thinking did he make, seriously? 'Do I take driver or 3 wood?' was about it. If the R&A; did not care, they would'nt change the course. They can't do it too much, because there would be outrage, regardless of the fact that St Andrews has adapted to change throughout it's history. They would not be changing the green complexes and stretching out the tee boxes as they are doing. Don't get me started on 17, probably the dumbest hole in championship golf next to 17 @ Sawgrass, but like Sawgrass elevated to a level that defies belief. St Andrews has a winning score of -20 all over it. And when that happens, you know that the champion golfer of the year is just the champion putter of the year.
  13. Valhalla produced an exciting tournament compared to the previous two which were over by day 3. It's not a great course, but the PGA is a tournament that sets up like a typical PGA tour event, only slightly more difficult. In that scenario, it did it's job. On St Andrews, the reason for keeping it purely financial and historical - it will be demolished by the current players, and it will be humiliated. The changes to the course on 11 and 17 will do nothing to alleviate that. And the excuse that St Andrews needs the wind to be more competitive is one that can be applied to every course in the world. Young Amateur's last week were hitting the ball 390 off the tee - that is coming to St Andrews real soon.
  14. Taylor Made just closed the Adams factory in Cal. All hands fired. They also just fired 15% of the TM staff as well. Ask any pro in a shop about the horrific discount wars that have been going on between Callaway and Taylor Made - introducing new models every 6 months to appease their shareholders and then 6 months later slashing the price of the same product. Meanwhile Ping (family owned) go about their business nice and quietly, and Nike are selling VRX's at full price whilst the sheep hack away with the latest gimmick. Pro shops have a specific amount of distaste for the way Callaway and TM have gone about their business and underneath being upset for the loss of the 500 jobs from Dicks, a lot of club pro's are quietly quite pleased to see these chop shops go down the pipe.
