Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Watching golf on TV = Yaaaaaaaaaaawwn

Phil screwing up already, damm

The 17th at TPC will keep you awake

To be honest the only way I would watch golf on TV is if they were playing on an erupting volcano.

Having that said I like to play golf. I just hate watching it.

Is Tiger in it?

No.

I think he had some surgery recently, and is recovering.

Oh Boy, Woody Austin may have crossed the line. He put his ball in the water on the 17th then started shaking his fist at the sky, then clapping while looking up, then back to shaking his fist again. The announcers said "watch it Woody". Then one said that is weird.

Didn't offend me, but I am sure some are screaming about it as I am typing this.

Correct, he is still recovering from his surgery. I'm sure the other players are glad that he is out of the field.

This is going to end up a crap shoot, on who wins this thing.

Sergio dropped some obscenity on the #2 Tee which prompted an apology from one of the talking heads.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir.

Awesome, a wind assisted foot wedge.

Garcia blowing up as always.

Phil 5 back with 9 to play, doesn't look good. But who knows at this course.

You owe me one gumball machine

And I never slice!

Hey Carl, care if I play through?

Phil missed a short one, and this nobody chips in from deep rough, if he can hold it together, he has this won.

Phil has to drop due to unplayable lie. He is officially done

they need to get to the 17th and 18th. I am getting bored

Seergioooo with the loong birdie putt as his up and down run continues.

Wow Sergio is stepping up. Is putter is on fire. He just canned a 46'9" putt. 2 strokes back, could get interesting.

And Sergio immediately stumbles by slicing it into the fwy bunker.

Boy this may make the 17th very interesting.

Guido backs up a shot.

Goydos hit into rough, but lie looks to be okay. Bad spot to come in from.

I think, I think that 17 is in Leftie's head a little. He's +15, fixing to be +16/17 for his career on that hole.

Yeah I think that would do it to me to. Boy he got aggressive with that line.

You got to make that putt to win.

yep

Interesting stat, no winner has ever put it in the water on 17 on Sunday.

got to go for it

Sergio a little amped up on that shot.

Yeah he is playing with alot of emotion on this back 9

I was referring to the adrenaline that caused him to hit it about 10 feet further than planned.

Pressure on Guydos to hit land on 17 now.

Nice shot, how did that not come down?

I caddied for the dali lama

yeah I know. I can't believe that held up.

So I got that going for me

1/5 GIR

That will work.

Guido tried to miss that.

Wow that putt about rimmed out

Time to putt for dough Sergio.

wheeew he about chiped that in

Sergio in at 5. Pressure's on Goydos.

That was huge

imagine the pressure

That ball is buried

I smell a playoff

Tough putt for the win.

Kenny Perry is a dick.

Back to 17.

PLAYOFF

If I was the caddies', I'd be throwing away that 9 iron about now.

That ain't no shit

That is a ugly hat that phil has on

Got to leave. Keep me informed, I will have my mobile....if you wouldn't mind

So, is it Phil and Sergio in the playoff?

Sergio and Goydos

Oh, ok, thanks.

Doh

Guido in the water, Sergio just has to hit land.

Perfect shot by Sergio.


2 feet away.

So Sergio is actually finally going to win something?

Someone needs to shoot the reeruns who scream "IN THE HOLE!!!!!" on every ****ing shot.

LMAO

on my cell sounds like a win for garciaPosted via Mobile Device

ROFL

Sergio "Thank you Tiger for not being here."

Did he really say that?

Yup.

Well then, I have a whole new respect for the kid.

Me too. Can't believe he said that.......damm And I missed it

For my B-Day the guys threw together a scramble on Sat. Had alot of fun, and got pretty shitfaced. CoMo Chief came up and played, and partied with us. A good time had by all.

This week is Tigers return. The US Open is this week. The pairing for round one and two are done and Phil, Tiger, and Adam Scott are paired together. What a pairing, should be a good watch.

Will Tiger be back and kick ass like he never left? Should be fun to watch.

I might be playing in a scramble for cancer research up in Savannah, MO this weekend. Dunno if they need an alternate yet or not, hope they do.

I hope Tiger is back and kicking ass, and I'm sure he will be. Every week you watch Tiger play, you feel like you are watching history in the making. It's a pretty crazy feeling.

Oh, and on another note I had a great round the other day. I'm new to the game, just started playing this spring, but I already love it. I pulled out my 3 wood for the first time, and I was just dead on with it. I was hitting nice little fades 240-250 yards all day. I was always so caught up in the driving aspect of the game, but my 3 wood is a delight to hit. Took it over a pond and a cluster of trees from 250 yards out and put it about 7 yards from the hole. Very rewarding feeling. Had a few legit pars on par 5 holes, and dropped a 180 yard shot a couple feet from the hole with my 5 iron(usually don't hit anything above a 6) and made some very nice chips and putts.

Shots like that is what makes a person get hooked and coming back.

Yep..that's the truth. I've been inconsistent at best with my driver. Sure I've hit a few straight 250 yarders, but I've also hit a ton of 175 yards slices and everything in between.

My 3 wood just worked out great for me..don't know why..it just feels right, and as long as I can improve my iron play and maybe get the driver down sometime soon, I can actually feel relatively good about my game.

When I was younger I though golf was a game for old, boring people and there was no way in hell I'd be one of those stiffs chasing a little white ball around a field..how boring. Now, my only regret is that I didn't start playing earlier. I'm only 21, so luckily I've got plenty of years to get into the game and get better, but I wish I would have at least took some time in middle and high school to play some golf.

Our small high school didn't have a golf team until a buddy of mine started playing and got a few of us interested. We were 13 when we started. By age 17 we had won the Kansas State 3A 4 man championship twice. It is an easy game to pick up when you are young.

Played 18 at Staley Farms a few weeks ago and had a blast.

I know exactly how you feel. Growing up in a small town of LaPlata pop. 1400, with a great golf course. I lived outside of town on a farm and parents didn't play. I am a Lefty so clubs were hard to get a hold of. All of my friends played from a VERY young age. When I turned 18 I bought a set of knock offs 3,5,7,9, SW and driver. I feel in love immediately.

I am know 31 and play 3 to 7 times a week. Have made alot of friends through golf. Truly a great game.
