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!

Tiger in da bunker

The lead is now -3. Tiger gave them a heads start. What else do they want?

Mr. Plow · 06-12-2008, 12:50 PM

What was up with the coverage this morning. Seemed like they wanted to talk more about crap than they wanted to show the tourney. Kept on showing replays of the big 3's shots. Didn't ever go to anyone else.

I'm currently watching on the internet which is only following Tiger, Phil and Adam.

I figured that would happen. Rumor has it that the Netorks were pissed that these guys where paired together. Claiming it would hurt there coverage

I watched for roughly an hour earlier today and didn't see much. They kept on having interviews and BS. Continued to come back and say "Here is Tigers shot a few moments ago."

The tourney committee said they didn't care what the networks thought.

NBC is doing a much better job

Mr. Plow · 06-12-2008, 01:15 PM

Torrey Pines. Man this course is tough

smittysbar · 06-12-2008, 03:17 PM

Had to go do a bunch of stuff. Did I miss anything?

Mr. Plow · 06-12-2008, 07:08 PM

Went out and played tonight. Played pretty damn well. First 7 holes, I had 3 pars & 4 bogeys. Three of the bogeys were putts that I left 1-3 inches short....damn you slow greens.

All was going well......until 7. Hit into the water off the tee (par 5). Still had a shot at par if I could make a good shot from the drop. Had a pretty good shot, left me a PW to the green. Pull it left. No biggie. I can chip on and in for a bogey. Good chip. Leave the putt 1 inch short. Double. Ok, nevermind....onto the next hole.

#9 is a short par 4, but it is uphill.....drastically uphill. Normally hit a 5 iron off the tee to a 6/7 into the uphill green. Decided that I was going to try to get it deeper in the fairway so I could play 8/9/PW/AW into the green for fear it would just hit and skip off the green.

Hit a crappy 3 wood off the tee. Goes 50 yards MAYBE. So, I'm 200 out, trying to hit through trees. I hit a solid 3 wood.....hits a leaf and DISAFREAKINPPEARS. So, now I'm dropping 3, hitting 4. Hit an 8 iron into the green.....too far. Goes over the green into the shit. Never to be found. So, now I'm dropping 5, hitting 6. Chip.....short.......hitting 7. Chip on......putting 8. Missed first putt......putting 9. Barely made that freaking put for a 9.

I dropped 7 freaking strokes on 2 holes. Fuggin stupid ass little white ball. I will kill you.
