Fore Right!

FINALLY broke 80!!!! Shot 78(39/39) today...played exceptionally faster than usual also. Can't decide if playing a bit quicker helped me or if I would've shot the same had I played slower. Nevertheless, I'm ecstatic.

Nike One Platinum...great feel, good distance, consistent spin and flight. Got 100 of them for 70 cents a piece at lostgolfballs.com. Cant beat it.

Yeah it's terrible...basically the entire east coast is getting drenched on a regular basis. And I will play in the rain it's just that around here when it rains in the summer it usually has lightening with it...and I don't do lightening.

Watch the 7:55 tee time of Ian Poulter, Justin Leonard and Robert Allenby. There are 3 dark horses that have not been mentioned. Maybe for good reason but I think one of these 3 will be up there on the weekend.

4 iron off the tee 52* wedge around the green

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to wear a glove simply due to sweaty hands...in fact, I wear 2 gloves about 80% of the time. Not because I think "Tommy Two-Gloves" is cool but because if I'm trying to grip a club with both hands I believe I should have a glove on both. It really improves my game both physically and psychologically. And for anyone that is like me....you should really try the black 'rain glove' packs as opposed to buying a standard white right and left.

Yeah I can too. It's sort of like having that same dream over and over with some minor details a bit different.

Justin Leonard

How many former #1 in the world does a golfer face for 4 days in a row at a major? More. How many different variables do golfers have to overcome in golf aside from other players? More. Which athlete could possibly be battling it out with more than one great player at the end of their respective major? Tiger. Maybe I'm just cripplingly biased.

Flatten out your back swing. I have recently been crushing all of my longer irons just from this simple 'fix'. Slow your swing tempo down and take the club back lower and a bit to the inside. Make a conscious effort to do so and I promise you will see SOME amount of improvement. IMHO, most people can't hit a long iron because they are coming in too steep to the ball at impact. If you will try to swing 'around' your body more instead of 'up and down' it will help. Don't worry about 'hitting down' on to the golf ball, you are going to do that inevitably. Hope that made sense and helps. Good Luck!!

I is twenty 3

Putting. If I could one putt more often and 3 putt less often I would be incredibly satisfied with my game.

I really do hope Phil does decent just for sentimental reasons but I like Stenson this week. He's obviously a great player, just to do what he did at the Players against the best field and a very tough course...I'm sure he'll have his game face on with only a week before the US open. I'll be looking for him on the first page come Sunday. I'd also like to think David Toms will be up there in contention on the weekend. He won this event in '03 and '04, add in 6 top 10s and he's looking solid for this week.

If you have a more shallow swing that often produces a draw or hook you can try making your swing plane steeper and less from the inside...those 2 things together produce a nice high fade for me. Good Luck!
