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 Tiger Sunday was motivational. Coming back from 5 down was awesome.

Mickelson is +5 and is going to be at least 11 shots back once the first round is completed in Houston today.

You don't suppose Tiger winning in his 3rd event back in the fashion that he did messed with Phil's head a bit do you?

Lefty's in a funk. He made two triples today and is almost at the bottom of the leaderboard (+9). Bad timing for the Masters.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-04-2009, 12:10 PM

I doubt it messed with his head. If anything, he's probably looking ahead to Augusta and just wants to get the **** out of Houston for some extra prep time. Hell, this is a guy who will play the week before a major, but if the event is really close, hop his jet to the major course for a practice round the week of the other tournament.

Johnny Miller said Mickelson is trying to fix two parts of his swing. I only heard part of what he was talking about, but one of the fixes is opening up his stance. I can only assume if that's what he's trying the other part is he'll have to be more inside out through impact.

Opening up is a pretty easy fix, relatively speaking. The two other major flaws he had in his swing were

1) He tended to lose flex in his trailing leg (left for him) on the backswing, which elevated his hips and threw his plane off

2) As a result of 1, he would get too long in the back swing and get way across the line at the top, which gave him a steep downswing and made it very difficult for him to hit it consistently straight without impeccable timing in his hands.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-04-2009, 02:21 PM

FWIW, if he's opening up, it's b/c he wants to hit a high fade into the greens at Augusta, because they hold that shot much better, and because the course layout is far more preferential to someone with a right-left ball flight (which is a fade for Phil).

I figured out to properly hit a flop shot. Every time I nail it, Tyler Hansbrough falls over.

God he is such a bitch pussy. I'm gonna love to see Duncan, Howard or Garnett in the NBA punk his ass around like a school boy bitch that he is.

Bump for the first round of the Masters, along with some classic footage of one of the five greatest moments in sports history:

Today is the day. I'm such a good boss I put the TV out for the first round.

Did anyone see Gary Player's greatest par ever yesterday at the Par 3 tourney?
