Watching golf on TV you get some amazing stats about distance and angle and carry. You see caddies with their notebooks. That begs the question of do the players get access to that Shotlink info while playing?

It's definitely a post Enterprise class carrier, ie nuke powered. Most likley a Nimitz class. You can tell by the square superstructrure or "Island". It would be a 346 yd par 4, the fairway would only be about 75 yds wide at its peak. The hardest part would be reading the green, heaving up and down in moderate seas...

Why is CBS playing a rerun of last year's Verizon when there is a good LPGA match live? Ochoa will take the #1 ranking from Annika if she hold on, the other teenage pro (Lincicome) is in contention and and Hot Natalie is imploding again. What great drama! But no, we get a year old 2nd tier field match, not even in HD. Come to think of it, why and i even inside watching tv any way? Its 78 deg and not a cloud over the whole state. Time to go outside and play.

Sorry its Erik not Eric, my fault. I just spent an hour listening to the podcasts from espn radio of this morning's Mike and Mike show where i heard that Zach was waiting for Tiger's charge. I couldn't find it so i retract that statement. As for the orginal question of the post, Tiger was in a position to win, one he has always won from, and he lost. Is that a choke? That is a subjective question. A previous poster suggested that Tiger should have hit 3w off the tee becasue his driver was all over the place. That is exactly what "you all" (sweeping generalization) said about Phil at the Open. Do you see the parallell? BTW Erik, you can take a measure of satisfaction that its been too cold and wet here is South Texas to play. I wish you sunny skys and a gentle tailwind.

Eric, I love ya man!! I knew this thread would get you fired up. Let's see... Tiger shot Par on a course he owns while three other guys posted 69. But that is not my point. Historically speaking, Tiger (12 majors, never lost when he had a lead, 50+ victories, 70.85 scoring avg #1 in history) had a better chance to win than Phil (two majors, 3 runner ups at US Open, and a rep as a "river boat gambler"). If you were to plunk money dow in Vegas would you put it on Phil at 18 or Tiger at 2? Tiger had the lead alone after 2 holes. Zach went out and played better. Tiger couldn't keep up with him. And yes I do listen to the podcast. Every week you bag on Phil for everything under the sun. You probably blame him for global warming too! Who among us didn't think it was over when Tiger took the lead after #2? If not then then when Tiger made that eagle with 5 to go. Who didn't think here he comes. Zach Johnson thought the same thing. I just think that it is more significant that Tiger didn't catch Zach than Phil blowing the Open when looked in a Macro sense.

She is allowed to rip Wie. Morgan was won a major now. Wie hasn't won Butkis.

After watching the Masters, I figured someone would come out and say it. But lo and behold there was no choke post. After the US Open last year a some (you know who you are EB) kept on and on about how Phil choked. Well what about Tiger? Did he choke? He, if pas history is a guide, had a better chance to win than did Phil that fatefull Sunday. No one, however, is saying it though. This is not a Tiger vs Phil thread. Phil can't carry Tiger's shoes. But it is kinda funny the different press they get. OK fire away!!

Golfsmith has Black Max practice balls on sale for $13.99. What is the difference in a practice ball and a normal ball?

I can't make the ball spin with washing machine! So i buy MC Lady for $9.99 a doz. I don't stress about losing one at that price. I do play the "good" balls that i find, though. Rich people don't go into the woods to chase thier Pro V1s....

Better get right with the Lord folks, because one of the 7 Signs of the Appochalypse is at hand. I shot an 89 for the first time in my life. For some unknown reason the lefties left for a round (or most of it) and I hit fairways and greens. The only bad thing was there were no net game that day. I would have cleaned house. Oh well I will take the score anyday.

Natalie Gulbis' photographer...mmmmmmm

Break 90, first at the local dog track (Laughlin AFB) then at a real course. Get rid of the Leftsies

As I said, i own the R7 XD irons and love them. I hit a few buckets with both the new R7s and the R7 TPs. Did not like the TPs, but I am used to the thicker more forgiving clubs. The R7s were ok, I didn't like them as much as mine. I have not seen those R7 forged. They are not the same as the TP but sure look nice.

I have TM R7XD irons and love them. They are magic!! The mass is so great and spread out along the bottom of the club that the ball just jumps into the air. Even your misshits turn out pretty good. They have a really thick top line so if you are used to a blade type club, they might not be for you.

I fly around the country and play golf and eat BBQ. Have my own private jet, ok the government owns it but it does have my name on it. But seriously folks, i am an AF instructor pilot. I too have only 1 year till retirement.
