I've been playing the Srixon Tour Yellow Z Star and Z Star X since late last summer. I really like the way they feel off the putter face and they spin awesome around the green. Plus, I just got a dozen Z Star Tour Yellow with a free Srixon hat at the local Edwin Watts shop. Awesome!

I just got a box of Srixon Z Star balls with a free Srixon hat. I just wish I could get paid to play with them.

Okay, its my own post, but... Hawkeyes played a great game today, but I was still dissapointed in how the offense was put on cruise control in the 2nd half. I'm getting sick of the conservative ways of our offense coordinator. The defense dominated as usual and held Penn State to only 3 points. 4-1 and with a Bye week, this week, the Hawkeyes are going to be ready for Michigan and the big house in a couple weeks. Bring it on Denard, you've done well against teams without a good defense. Things will change in two weeks and your honeymoon heisman trophy dream will wash away. The Iowa D will keep him to less than 100 all purpose yards. Cheers!

Yeah, it will be a close one. No way can they do 12 matches and finish the others beforehand. Damnit and I even have tomorrow off from work. Why Lord!? WHY!?!?!

Official statement just came down... No golf until 12:00 BST or 7:00am EST, 6:00am Central, and so on and so forth. That's when NBC's coverage was slated to start anyways. Should be interesting to see what happens. GO USA, lets get it together!

Hell yeah...Overton's putt was rockin! 3 up with 6 to go...they have that match! Great playing Rooks.

So if you're 18 or 19 years old right now, that means you would have been somewhere around the age of 8-9 when the 1999 Ryder Cup took place. So you're knowledge of all of the "hooligan" acts that took place during the tourney has come from only coverage that has been replayed. And being that you live in the UK, the coverage of that Ryder Cup in particular has probably been biased towards the European team. You're right in that their were some people that should have definitely been kicked out for comments and their ridiculous behavior in 1999, but its nothing that hasn't been done before. Get over it, move on. Lets just hope this Ryder Cup can actually be played completely and everyone plays well to the end. Cheers.

Well, I like where the US is right now...up in two matches and AS in one. I guess it was a good night to sleep, being the rain delay took 7 hours! So, why does the television coverage not start until 7am (central). I wish ESPN would do the early coverage and then NBC could take it over, oh well. Phil looks very uncomfortable and Tiger is just being Tiger, making a good shot every 2-3 holes. IMO I wish Pavin would have sent Zach Johnson out, not only because he's my favorite golfer, but he's played in that type of weather when he was growing up. Living in Iowa, the weather conditions today matches perfect to our Spring here. I think just as he played well in the cool conditions at Augusta in 2007, he would have lifted up whatever pairing he was included in. Oh well, I think he'll get his chance to play in crappy weather.

1 hour until TEE OFF! Anyone going to be up to chat about what happens during the coverage, at least for awhile...?

Go Hawkeyes...

I bet will see plenty of Knockles (knuckle tapping) going on this weekend...Since that's the "in" thing these days. Damn kids and their cool things and ways about them these days. Okay, I'm 27 and have done plenty of cool guy knocks in my day. GO USA!

I predict the Euro team will come flying out of the gate, and the thing will go down to the final singles matches on Sunday. The USA will start slow, but with the rookies and experienced golfers, they'll win. Not saying the Euro team is bad by any means, just have a feeling about the USA team. I'm just looking for some good matches and TW ruining any opponents week (for the first time this year). Cheers!

I know I am too....sweetness bro!

I had brought up this point a few weeks ago that Overton was a baby and acted like a d-bag out there. You guys are right, he's a PGA professional and needs to start acting like one. His actions are embarassing to watch and it seems like every putt he misses is "because of something out of his control." He's a great putter and good player, and if he grew up a little bit, his fan base would explode. Just saying..

I worked until 3am this morning. Before I went to bed, I watched three hours of The Open. Then woke up 5hrs later and watched the rest of the broadcast that had been recorded by my dvr. Nothing better than watching John Daly play well and enjoy himself. Also, seeing Rory shoot so low (my office pick) and Tiger playing well, this Open is going to be epic. Hopefully my hometown guy, Zach Johnson, will shoot a better score tomorrow. Cheers.

I heard the drink cart girl is a holster humper.....zing!

Playing partners that are consistently negative after every shot, even after the good ones. Not only does it take the fun out of the round, it ruins the whole golfing experience. Like I said the other day, "I also paid money for this round, at least let me enjoy mine."

I carry one in my bag. My job allows me to carry everywhere, thanks to the United States Congress and HR-218. If something were to ever happen while I was golfing, to myself or someone else, I would rather have it with me than live with the guilt knowing I could have helped and did not have it.

I love the Open Championship! I work 3pm-3am and will be watching the coverage when I walk through the door on Thursday morning. Then put the DVR in to use and record it when I head to bed. I just wish I could be there in person for this thing. Zach Johnson, as always for the win. Although, I watched him at the John Deere last week and I don't think he's playing his best. I would also like to see Padraig play well. Others to win, place and show: All players from the UK, especially Robert Rock. Epic name for an epic tourney. I think the jug will stay across the pond this year after Cink returns it.

2002 GMC Envoy....a lot of miles but has always been reliable.

Well, I guess snickering, not actually laughing. But, Yeah!

I walked with Goydos during his 59 and it was awesome to watch. That guy was on fire during every shot. It was almost comical when he was putting, because anywhere the ball landed, I knew he'd hole it out. I also followed Stricker and wow, I thought "you gotta be kidding me" we can't have two 59's can we? Needless to say, one of the best PGA rounds I've ever seen live. On another note, I watched KJ Choi on the putting green and I honestly thought his putting stroke was a "practice" of some sort. Nope, I watched him during a couple holes and he was doing it. Duval was on the putting green while Choi was working with the putter and I swear I saw him, Tim Clark, and a couple other guys all laughing. Oh well...whatever works. Cheers.

Heading to the Quad Cities.... I'm excited about this tourney, partly because I'll be going on Thursday and Friday, but mostly because it brings the great game of golf to the area in which I live. I'll be bringing my wife and a buddy to the first two rounds. My buddy has never been to a PGA event before, so I'm stoked to show him what it's all about. The pro at my home course tried Monday Quailifying to get in, but was t-12 and they only take the top 4. That would have made the week even better. My picks this week... 1) Zach Johnson (homefield advantage) 2) Bubba Watson (have a feeling) 3) KJ Choi (straight shooter and very consistent) I also think that Rickie Fowler and Jeff Overton will play well. Have a good week all.

I'm excited for this years US Open, since I'll get to watch all four rounds. I really think that Zach Johnson will do well this year. I just hope that he can keep it together throughout the weekend. I also like David Duval, Ben Crane, and Lee Westwood to play well. Just like some previous posts, I think Tiger and Phil have a great chance, but I just can't seen either of them standing on Sunday with the trophy. Yes, it may appear that I'm bias towards ZJ because I'm from Iowa and he's my favorite golfer, but I just think the course suits his game management, accuracy, and wedge play.
