Sadlowski is a stud golfer for sure. He has played in a bunch of Web.com events in the past and made the cut in the majority of the ones hes played in if Im not mistaken. Hes got a decent shot at qualifying.

Plus, with Kostis as his swing coach, he gets unlimited use of the Konica Minolta bizhub swing vision camera.

Why? He'd be >50 yards past both if he gives at least 90%. DJ and Bubba are silly long but Sadlowski is in a totally different league.

Who wouldn't want to watch the longest drivers on tour get out done by 50 yards every hole?

But does he really hit it all that much farther when playing competitive golf or does he dial it down to a closer to mortal swing speed?

He shouldn't even bother unless he gets a running start and shouts "BOOOOM!" as he hits it off the tee.

I don't know why but that thing tilts me so much. I'd love to steal it and then give it the old Office Space treatment.

Aerodynamics. He's trying to figure out where to place the slits in the clubface so the air can flow thru it causing less drag without affecting durability.

Watching the girls college golf, the girl who is having vertigo symptoms is still carrying her bag when push carts are allowed. The coach should be fired.

So for fun I thought I would share the tough stretch of holes that always kill me on one of my courses:

#9 342y Par 4


Starting point in the pic is actually the gold tees (I play blue). Alything in the right rough slopes down towards the cart path and OB although it will not roll all the way OB. My 3 wood reaches the bunkers on the right, usually between the first one seen and the next set of 2. Depending on wind this leaves me between an 8 iron to a 54* wedge into the green. Anything left gets eaten up by the bunker quickly.

Where I miss: In the water off of the tee. Anything left slopes to the water. Since I never cross land it's hitting 3 off of the tee.

#10 180y Par 3


The blue tees are actually to the right of where it shows. It's all carry over the water. Left of the green is trees and OB. This hole usually plays against the wind as well.

Where I miss: Left. If you are lucky enough to hit the cart path you are even further left with no shot at hitting the green that slopes towards the water.

#11 359y Par 4


Anything tee shot left of the fairway rolls right into the water. The pic shows 260 but my 3 wood if I go the way the line appears I am in the trees. It's more like 230 on that line. Any shot right of the fairway bounds towards the cart path and the trees.

The green is elevated with a tree short and left that will collect balls. If you miss the green right you are in a sandy area (but not a trap) where it's almost impossible to hit the green. Bumping it short doesn't work as the ball sticks to the hill.

Where I miss: Question is where I don't miss. I go into the water left and the trees right. When I do hit a good shot it's still a tough green to hit.

#12 357y Par 4


You have a very tight chute to hit through off of the tee. Trees left are jail and you have to pitch out to the fairway, or if you are unlucky, it bounces OB. The trees immediately right of the tee box collect any shot right.

Where I miss: As this is probably the toughest hole for me on either course, I hit my ball in the left trees about 90% of the time. When I pitch back to the fairway I have to get up and down from anywhere between 80 and 130 yards to make par. This hole is a bogey or double for me a lot.

Guarantee I would break 1 or 2 solar panels a year if I played that hole for a season.
10 wouldn't bug me to much but the other 3 I can see making big numbers as my big miss is left.

So the upside to the SMU postseason ban in golf is 2 kids from the school are about to win the US 4 ball championship. I assume they have since I am watching on dvr.

Look on the bright side, it could have been women's bowling.

Pretty sure the driving range in the beginning is Coronado in Scottsdale. No idea why a long driver would be practicing there. Its short and its a dump.

Ok just watched a bit more. Definitely Coronado.

Staying at the Ritz Carlton in Naples (on the beach, not the golf one) and playing Tiburon Black. I have read that it's much tougher than the gold (where the LPGA and Shark Shootout are played). Gotta love travel for work and the subsequent Marriott points.

Just hit 3 iron or similar club that you hit 200-220 and have a longer iron into the green. Sounds like your problem is off the tee. If you hit the fairway most of the time you will make no worse than bogey right? Take the big numbers out of the question.

Pretty much this. I decided to do something smart today and took a 4 iron off of a par 5 that's around 500y. Hit it in the fairway, hit 6 iron to 88y out, hit 58* to 6 feet (and lol miss the putt). How I played this hole really says everything about what I should be doing on holes I have issues on.

Looks like I am going to get the chance to play Firestone South the Friday before the WGC. Normally would never spend much money for any one round but I think this is a worthy exception

subtle brag on being able to hit a 4-iron 6-iron a combined 412 yards
