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!

Here's something you could try, and it's both useful and fun: go to the range and learn how to hit a half driver. I did this last year because there is a Par 4 I play that plays about 240 and I would have to nut a 3 wood to get it there and if I hit it poorly at all I would be blocked out by trouble. I found that taking a half-3/4 swing with a driver would put me on or near the surface with far fewer issues if I didn't make a good swing. It would be a wise way to play those shortish par 4s.

I still carry a driver, but I probably shouldn't.

The half driver is a fun shot, rolls a long way for me. I like the half three wood too on holes where I should be hitting a long iron.

Yep.

My driver is officially out of the bag. I've gone Full Phil and put a 13.5 X Hot Pro 3W in the bag, and it's just as long as my driver.

If anyone is interested in a Nike VRS with an Ion played Ahina in stiff, let me know.

Did it yesterday too when Keegan got stuck in the rough on 18. Earlier a guy barked out to Chris Wood "you're not Tiger Woods!", to which Nantz said "That's not very nice."

But nothing tops this one:

This one is the best of all-time probably, Tiger teeing off on #1 at TPC last year. FF the clip to the :45 second mark:

I think the score literally didn't change. I went to the race today, so I only saw the beginning of the round being replayed on golf channel.

So just bought the V1 swing analysis on the iPad . If any of you guys are interested in seeing your swing and analyzing the lines, it's a great buy

Speaking of apps, I waited for two years for Ping to release their iPing app for Androids. They finally did, made a cradle for the Galaxy S3, my phone, only for the app to get the worst reviews of any app I've ever seen.

Who has the best shot at the last major of 2013

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-06-2013, 07:39 PM

Tiger is going to have to hit his driver on the last two holes of this course. If he's too chickenshit to do it, he won't win. If he can pull it off, he's the favorite. Of course, that's all moot if he still has his weekend yips in the majors.

I'll guarantee you this: if he's in the lead on Sunday front-running nuthuggers like KStater will be pumping AIDS into this thread nonstop.

**TribalElder** · 08-06-2013, 07:56 PM

I think Phil will show up this week. I think his heart wasn't in it last week. He won the open, how can he muster up enough emotion to compete at Firestone.

If he can get his head back into it I think he contends this week

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-06-2013, 08:22 PM

Phil won the PGA at Baltusrol, which is a course a lot like Oak Hill. He has a shot, but that finishing stretch will be tough for him. I wonder if he'll put the Phrankenwood in play this week.

He's as good out of the deep shit around the greens as anyone, so that might be a helpful development for him, but Oak Hill is a pretty tough driving course, so he'll need his A game off the tee.
