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!

Furyk with a shank from 75 yards out. Ouch.

Shit , I do that all the time & don't even get paid for it!

John Paramour is probably old enough to remember yelling at 14-year-old Chinese boys to hurry up laying down that railroad track. Instinct just kicked in.

Part of you feels bad because he's a kid, but slow play is an epidemic and it's one of the things that causes declining participation in golf; furthermore, it's absolutely pathetic in junior golf. Far too many hackers labor over each shot as though it's the 72nd hole of the US Open, and it's largely due to glacial one who sucks the peniss like Jim Furyk, who's never seen a 14 inch putt he wouldn't back off of.

Threesomes should not take six hours to play a round of golf...ever.

Throw a clump of grass up in the air, look at the trees, pick a club and pull the ****ing trigger. It's called Ready Golf.

They could have called that penalty so many times on so many guys over the years (and didn't) that it's hard to get it now. If Guan misses the cut over that (and it looks like he very well could depending on how Tiger finishes), it will kind of suck.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Damn. So unlucky for Tiger

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Potential three-shot swing

Edit: Got out with a bogey. Nice recovery

Well, he's safe, but that's immaterial. Golf is a sport that is supposed to exist without gray areas. As bullshit as it was, the ruling against Craig Stadler using a towel years back was correct.

They need to be far more militant in enforcing slow play penalties because it absolutely ruins the game.

I can go out and walk 18 and play in three hours without rushing over shots, but because hackers see the pros do it, they start plumb-bobbing straight two footers, stepping off of shots, and taking five practice swings.

It must stop.

Something brewing about Tigers drop on 15.

[kstater]

They're going off his presser where he said he dropped 2 yards back, but looking at the replay, he's within 2 feet of where his first shot was.

[stonedstooge]

Let's see them kick Tiger out of the Masters.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

So now a 2-stroke penalty and five strokes back. If he misses the flagstick he's probably in the final group. Hope he shoots a 67 today

[spanky 52]

He needs to disqualify himself.

Why?

[displacedinMN]

As I am listening to Tigers problem-I think this should be the fault of the PGA.

They told him the one stroke penalty was fine-sign the card or be dq'ed

Now they are assessing the two stroke penalty after the card is signed-becuase if he doesn't sign the card he will be dq'ed.

So is he disqualified or still in?
