I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude. Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering. Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

If they get on next year, then they will get one the year after. If they get to 6, it might be a record never broken. They already hold the record.

Something with equal parts potassium and salt is the best. The top two are overall good for health and wellbeing. The bottom two more so for athletics.

Count me in on Sunday.

I would put money on Will having a better NFL career than Sanders. Mostly because he is a fast processor and his mental game and leadership is top notch. I think that translates better.

Does that tempo stay the same for long putts? So you have to maybe make the longer putts feel faster to match the tempo over a longer distance the putter head has to travel?

I would say the demons were getting him more than anything. Also, it is just hard to win a major. Rory is in ELITE company. Let's say he gets to 7 majors. He's probably the 2nd best player post Jack. I would almost put him above Phil, it would be a good discussion (for another topic than this). There is nothing more to say here about it with regards to this thread. Was there a question if Rory would ever win the Masters, absolutely. Now that it is off his bucket list, he solidified himself as the third best golfer of the post Jack Nicklaus era currently. Anything else would just be continuing on with an argument that has no merit anymore.

I think it is fine. At a certain point you will realize you have gotten too old, not in player ability, but in contracts. At a certain point they will need to dump off some expensive players and rebuild a bit. I feel like they are projecting out and getting picks. If they really wanted the best DT in the class, and could trade down three spots, and get a haul of draft picks for it. I think it's a win for them. I am not big on Hunter. I don't think he is a game breaker WR like Justin Jefferson or Chase. All the highlights were him making contested catches against weaker opponents. I am not sure he can separate. His route running is not really polished. I am actually glad Cleveland traded out of that spot. That is a fair take. He wants to be a WR in the NFL because it pays more. The NFL is all about being a master at your craft. If he becomes a liability because he can't master either, it might hurt him. I think after a few years, he will just play WR. Overall, the draft is everyone copying the Philly game plan, draft defensive tackles. From an Ohio State fan perspective. I like most of the OSU players went in the latter half of the 1st round. They wall went to teams who are pretty good.

Just some notes Putting - more straight back and close the face through impact. I got a bit too inside, lots of block putts right or pushing the club out and heeling putts. Especially on longer putts. Pitching - pretty decent. Just working on distance control and different backswing lengths. Redeveloping the touch. Also trying to no flip the club inside since that is my full swing pattern. Though, I seem to be able to bracket the center of the clubface, heel and toe strikes.

Of course it is. If you have that drought in major wins, coming so close, its more pressure than anticipation. Pressure = Relief, Anticipation = Celebration. Don't get me wrong, he celebrated after the fact. The initial response is 100% relief. Which is totally fine. Yep, golf is hard. He made a poor swing on 15. He was probably taking dead-aim to get a birdie and pushed it. He probably should have played the slope of the green more. Guess what, he then made way more good shots than bad ones coming in to clinch the win. 6-FT from the pin, he has a 74% make from that range. PGA Tour players only make 95% of their putts from like just shy of 4-FT. PGA Tour average from 4-FT is 92%. Everyone things PGA Tour players make more putts than they do.

I recommend this. The stadium is great. You can walk across the bridge to some good food.

let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me.

Another good episode. It sounds pretty obvious that social media style golf tips/instruction is not a good way to learn golf. Too many opinions, nothing specific to the golfer, it's basically playing Russian Roulette. I for one, like to watch online golf instruction. I have found a few I think are pretty good, but I find it interesting. It just takes some front-end mental processing to push it off to the side away from what I am doing. I think the positives are to this is exposure. It keeps people interested in golf. It is free. It helps golf instructors who have to fix bad habits, 😉. I rather see the game grow, and social media is not going anywhere anytime soon. Honestly, some of the online stuff seems a bit better than some of the local instruction around my area. I have been a few stalls away from a golf instructor and you just have to shake your head at how bad it can get.

Sorry, mistyped. My mind went rounds = tournaments, lol. No, I thought 20-28 tournaments. Probably closer to 28 than 20.

I was just thinking about this. 60 majors played in since 2010. 42% of them top 10 finishes. 22% top 5 finishes. My goodness, 9 straight top 10 finishes at the US Open, regarded as the toughest course set up for the Majors. WTH! That is different than jacked, so no. No, it doesn't. It is tough to win majors. He is in rare company by winning the career grand slam. It is much tougher to win majors in the 2010+ years than it was prior. Look at the most majors list. If you cut it off at 5+ majors. There are 21 golfers ever to have 5+ majors. 17 of them won their first major prior to 1987. Maybe you could say he should have two more if things go his way. I don't think he should be near 10 or anything like that. 5 is reasonable at this point. He is tied for 15th ever. He probably has like 20 to 28 more competitive major rounds in him. Maybe in like the short term yes, but he would have gotten used to it in short order. He is a world class athlete in the golfing world. His ability to feel his golf swing is nearly unmatched. To say that him getting a bit bigger in 2014 has impacted him over the next 11 years, without him just figuring it out is really an absurd statement. Tiger Woods changed his swing like 3x and was elite. He got bigger, not jacked, and was elite. We are not talking about Olympic weightlifters here, or jacked body-builders. FYI, doing weightlifting through a full range of motion gives you more flexibility. Do you want to know who can get into the deepest squats in the world, people with gigantic legs, the Olympic weightlifters. Want to know who can't get down into a deep squat, lazy people who don't work out. Could muscle mass as the "extreme" side of things cause some interference in a particular golf motion, sure. Rory isn't even close to being that size. Yea, it could be mental. Sometimes you just need to get over the hump again even though you have 4 majors in your pocket. You only get 4 chances a year at this. You have to be on your game to have a chance on Sunday. So, for the stars to align for him to have the chances to even learn from his mistakes is not that much. Being T-5, 6 strokes back and not having that pressure on the Sunday is not a learning experience on how to close out a tournament. It makes sense why it could take this long. Also, he is playing against other good golfers. Sometimes, the best golfers in the world get beat. Nope, it isn't. I would agree it was loss of confidence or nerves, plus other golfers just taking it from him than it being related to him working out. I am actually willing to say, it is 0.0000000000000000000000001% related to him working out. So, round that off to ZERO! Let's not play the victim card here. He wasn't able to bomb it 330 yards prior to 2014 because he was a kid who still had baby fat on him. Look at the rolling 10 round average since he started. It looks pretty typical. Lots of ups and downs because you can't be on all the time. Even back in 2014, he never really had a 10 round average were his stroke's gained approach was negative. If you say his size causes him issues, then there should be something crazy here. The dips in 2014 on look the same. Did he have some early year crazy spikes, sure. Sometimes a golfer catches fire for a year. There are things call outliers for a reason. So, this is probably why you started this. You dislike Rory and want to wish it into existence that he would never win another Master. Again, you are not the victim here, so stop these self-deprecating comments to try to buy some sympathy.

Yay, first 9 holes of golf in! The goal tonight was to keep the swing short, and try to feel the downswing stuff. I was able to do that here and there. The iron strikes were solid. Like, flush center strikes. I was like, Whoa!!! Though face to path control was not there yet, or the trees in my way were not kind. 🤣 I need to send a good day on putting and short game. Just rusty. A pretty soft course didn't help. That is where I lost a ton of shots.

Good episode on Skill versus Technique. I agree with definitions. It makes sense in my head that skill is part learned and part just genetics. Technique is mostly learned but also can be limited by your own skill in how well you develop motor patterns, which is a skill. They are intertwined together to a point, but definitely not the same.

It is on HBO, so maybe get a month subscription to binge watch after the season is almost over.

Just started up The Last of Us Part 2. The first seasons was one of the best TV shows I've seen a long time. I am looking forward to what season 2 has to offer.

Yea, he has been stupidly good for over 15 years now. Like he hardly ever has a bad round.

Dang, what a good tournament. Rory’s last five approach shots were stupid good. They were all with in 15-ft and many with in 5-ft.

lol, I thought the coincidence was funny. Or was it a coincidence. 🤣🤣🤣

Yep, they are really really good for high handicap golfers that need help getting the ball in the air, and don't have enough spin to stop the ball. For moderate to lower handicap golfers, I would go towards less game improvement irons for consistency. There are some really good clubs out there that blend both. You can also get a set that has GI in the long irons and less GI in the short irons.

Still a shot I suck at. 😭
