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!

Cutting at .09 of an inch, and verticutting several times throughout the year.

If you're able to keep them at .09 this time of year, awesome. I just come up again last week because of the heat.

Scalping just a touch due to the heat and humidity. Fertilized about a week and a half ago, that seems to be helping a ton right now.

COME ON PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mickelson seems to be giving away another great opportunity at a major.

smittysbar · 07-17-2011, 10:06 AM

Clarke has ol' lady luck on his side today

kstater · 07-17-2011, 10:11 AM

Dustin Johnson with another choke.

Dustin Johnson chokes in another major.

This wind is absurd.

spanky 52 · 07-17-2011, 10:11 AM

Game over. Mr Clarke looks like the winner.

KC_Connection · 07-17-2011, 10:13 AM

What was he even attempting to do with that shot?

KC_Connection · 07-17-2011, 10:38 AM

Clarke has played some steady golf this weekend. I never thought he'd pull something like this off in his career, especially now at his age.

Epic choke job. It was his and then he blows another short one on 11 and it was all done.

Clarke got a couple of tremendous breaks today. His balls skirting the bunkers saved him probably 3+ shots.

I think Phil missed 6 putts inside of three feet this week. It's all on him, but he's an idiot for going with Dave Stockton and that forward press. It throws the line and speed way too much on short putts.

kstater · 07-17-2011, 10:49 AM

I wonder if Graem McDowell will call Clarke the best he's ever seen?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-17-2011, 10:49 AM

Phil's swing also got really loose on the last several holes.

As far as greens go, the problems with the greens that I play is that they are bumpy in spots due to jackasses not repairing pitch marks.

Most courses are going to a more economical approach in regards to maintenance, but that doesn't match up with bent grass greens. They can't survive in Midwestern summers without a ton of water.
