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!

McIlroy showed a lot of class with those comments after putting up an 80

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-16-2010, 01:57 PM

This is the stuff that cracks me up:

Tiger's "new" putter is still a direct clone of a Ping Anser 2, just like his Scotty Cameron Newport.

It's the Indian, not the arrow.

I hadn't either but I also haven't seen a golf ball just sitting on a green go rolling because of the wind.

John Daly bringing Zubaz back to the mainstream.

Phil with a great round of -4 going duck hooks an IRON off the tee OB on 16...with a double fairway to his left...thus in turn killing all of his momentum.

Only Phil lol...SMH.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-17-2010, 09:42 AM

That's just a mental error. You should never put yourself in the position where that's even an option on that hole.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-17-2010, 09:47 AM

Phil will always be undone in the Open by his inability to properly control distances with his irons. He's not good at it in regular conditions, and when you add in the wind and his trajectory, it only exacerbates his weakness.

He also hasn't been helped by several lip-outs, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Stockton putting method. It's too steep.

And a horrible approach on 17.

Jerm · 07-17-2010, 09:49 AM

He was actually putting well today...not striking it well though for the most part.

He just doesn't have the trajectory to do well at the Open...hits it way too high.

He has putted very well today, but he putted poorly the first two days, as well as the US Open.

He has flighted the ball down better than in the past, but he's so focused on piss pounding his irons that he doesn't do a good job of controlling the distance.

I'm not a big fan of the forward press. You hit the ball very solid, but you tend to push or pull everything.

I never have understood what the benefit or reasoning behind it was...

Theoretically, the more you deloft the putter face, the sooner it will roll, because you won't lift it with the loft and have it skid at the start.

That's why Phil has a higher loft on his putter now than in the past.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-17-2010, 10:04 AM

And that's poor course management there, too.

If you're worried about hitting a flushed driver too far, hit a 3/4 chip cut with the big dog. It will go longer than the 3 wood, but not as far as one you nut.

Stewie · 07-17-2010, 12:02 PM

Heh! I'm watching the international feed of the British Open. No commercials for one, but the announcers are good and say stuff I have no idea what they're talking about. Westwood just made a long putt and the announcer said, "I wonder if that will light the blue paper under Westwood?" Huh?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-17-2010, 02:41 PM

You have to give it to Oosthuizen so far. That sad, you still have to think he's got a 78 in him tomorrow.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-18-2010, 10:19 AM

This is a virtuoso performance. No one has dominated a major like this since Tiger at St. Andrews in 2000.
