I like the move by Phil. Driver can often get him in trouble and Muirfield is not a place where you can easily recover. That fescue can be nasty. FWIW, Rory said he would be using driver quite a bit. Going to be interesting to watch since these two are paired together.

3/4 sand wedge roughly. I have a pretty good touch and dont mind taking a little off the sand wedge.

I'll be up also to catch as much coverage as possbile before heading to work. There's a good chance I'll also be following along at work.

It was 2001 and I was a young fella. I grew up on a golf course my whole life so I was familiar with the sport. My dad had asked me if I wanted to go to the Compaq Classic of New Orleans. FWIW, it is now known as the Zurich Classic. We ended up going on that Friday and following David Toms (home town fav. from LSU) and Phil Mickelson (biggest name in tourney). Somewhere on the back nine, we were around the green and watched Phil tap in and proceed to walk to the next hole. My dad told me to go up and try to get a high five. I ran up to the rope where Phil had to walk by to get to the next hole and proceeded to stick my hand out and say "Hey Phil!" (was probably more of a mumble LOL). As Phil approached, he stuck his hand in his pocket and tossed me the ball he had been playing with. Needless to say, I had a smile on my face for days. More or less, that single action is what got me hooked on golf. Haven't looked back since. Let's hear your stories; whether it be playing a full round with a pro or just knocking back a few cold ones. Here are some pictures of the ball.

I like a mid-October round down here in South Louisiana becasue temperatures are good and a cool breeze helps. Also, I like an early spring round in March-April when the air is still a little crisp.

I've been a fan of the PGA Tour for about 12 years now. As of this past year/season, I've found my interest in the professional side of golf growing more and more. Whether it be following shot tracker at work or watching every second it is aired on television, I've been knee deep in constant coverage. As most of the PGA Tour faithful know, the third, and oldest, major of the year is right around the corner. Most of you that follow the tour like to pull for one or a few select golfers week in and week out. (Mickelson for me) However, as I transitioned from fan to "fanatic" this past year, I've noticed that I can't help but pull for the one and only, Tiger Woods. It could be "the comeback" or it could be simply that I want to tell my kids I watched the best golfer ever, but I want Tiger to succeed now more than ever. Anyway, who are some of the golfers you pull for? and Do you want to see Tiger succeed next week? Eventually break Jack's record?

Nicely Done. I've witnessed one, but never had the pleasure of holing one myself. The shot didn't bounce or roll at all, dunked it straight into the cup.

I've had a fade for my entire life. Grew up playing baseball and I think that's the reason for it. I've learned to accept it over the years and actually use it to my advantage now. It was more severe back in my early days of golf but has eased up over the past year or so. I'm comfortable with that swing and, hey, if you can be consistent with it, more power to ya.

Appreciate the initiative. Should be fun

$20 works for me. Adds a little spice to things and will help keep all interested.

Louisiana State University. Ohio State vs. LSU (homer, yeah yeah) Honestly, I could see McCarron taking it home.

Count me in. DMed my email.

Tiger Woods (-5) Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (-7)

My buddies and I play the normal 2v2 best ball. $20 for the winning two-some. The way I look at it, you win and your round was free. I like the idea of the Wolf though, gonna have to try it out soon.

I like when I'm forced to hit a low shot that requires me to draw/fade it. Usually occurs when a tree branch is hanging overhead and the green is not reachable with a straight shot. I find it easier to draw/fade the low irons in the back of my stance and have been very successful when attempting such shots.

Have holed out numerous chips from right off the green. My furthest was from ~120 yards with a pitching wedge. Landed on the fringe, bounced a time or two, and proceeded to roll into the cup. Eagle. Felt great.
