I think pro golf would be better if they had a rule that the caddies couldn't talk to the player. For yardages they should just use a range finder.

This whole thing where they discuss what to do for an eon before every shot is maddening. Like it's an individual sport, and that's how 99% of us play it regularly -- with no outside help from anyone. The pros should have to do the same.

Yes, I get both of these posts. Not sure why announcers don't articulate it that way.

We all know what it is like to go into the mode where we are protecting against bogey instead of planning for a birdie, or playing to avoid a three-putt. There are lots of people who get overly conservative (or overly aggressive) when the pressure is on. And it it also common to see the uber conservative play followed by the ill-timed aggressive decisions. Just like poker...

I think that is what messed up so many people who played with Tiger on the last day. Tiger was not "clutch" (clutch doesn't exist IMO). Others, however, got it into their own head that they had to either be more aggressive or more conservative, and then started falling apart around him. Others choking made Tiger look clutch. Tiger's greatest skill was simply being better than everyone else and not having a drop off on the last day, while others changed their game to try and beat him.

Almost, Tiger. Good for Casey...65 on the final day should win.
Very similar to a course I play a bunch. When there is a certain pin and you miss on the wrong section you end up with a 50 foot putt and about half the people who end up with that putt end up having a 75 foot putt after the ball gets within 4 feet of the hole. Good times

OK - so I forgot the Bay Hill was this week and I tried to take the freeway up to the PGA store - which is very close to the course. That coupled with normal spring break Disney/Universal traffic made me question my mental state.

Pre-Paulina, DJ was pretty famous for screwing at least two gf/fiancees/wifes of other PGA tour pros, breaking up the marriage of one of them.

So, no - no direct link to Sergio or his girl, more of a dig at DJs past.

An insiders book of life on tour would be interesting. Probably a lot crazier than anyone thinks.

More likely today:

(A) An above par round for Rory.

or

(B) A below par round for Rory.

Spoiler:
The magic 8-ball says A.

FWIW, I think Rory will be inspired by Tiger's return. If his body isn't in bad shape, I would expect him to start playing better.
