nah it was a particularly ****ty day of putting for Adam Scott

Oh, no doubt he was bad today, but he is a negative SG putter any day of the week. Was 165th on tour last year with almost -.3 a round. Spieth and Hadwin were over -3 today. List was over -4 for round 3 (who is a worse putter than Scott and makes even more hilarious misses).

I mean the 2012 Open meltdown is pretty much textbook example of Scott as a putter.

indeed. sounds like we're on the same page here.

JB Holmes is a disgrace to golf. Bring on the shot clock.

And the PGA will never do anything about it

Blame the Tour and not JB imo.

Why can't I blame both? Slow golfers are the scum of the earth

This is where I’ve had my best results too. I like to bet doubles /winners on 2 tours and that’s hard enough without being ridiculously hard doing it from the get

Having said that got a 155-1 shot home last week by taking Fox outright and Si Woo top azn pre event . First decent bink since November though, lots of donating in that time. Golf betting is hard but glorious. Reminds me of/replaces my love for online MTTs




I wish I could play draft kings

holy **** el tigre from that fairway bunker

a whole bunch of things... love this mexico city WGC stop. anytime they do something that isn't in the norm i think it's good.

1) that tiger costume kid is great....... should make a commericial with him and TW...... the complete anti-thesis of the modern day doucheey drunk adult fan.

2) that TW fairway bunker shot must be top TW shot. i think in some ways, it's number 1.

3) bubba drove 750 yards of greens in the first two holes of his round. day 1?... rory drove 300 yard green with 3 iron (2 iron?)

4) that highlight of someone putting when cantlay's 395 tee shot almost goes in the hole is amazing..... if the ball went it, i think it would #1 golf highlight ever.

5) this is from a few days ago, but chamblee had a very good video comparison of rory 2012 irons vs. 2019 irons. the difference in his mid-section was enormous. 2012= belly button diaganol to hole, 2018 belly button face ball and very unathletic still shot. same very general idea with shoulders. he's really going down after the ball in 2012. not sure what he's doing now.. hope it's on
YT as it was very good and drastic difference.

do players who are struggling look at videos from a season where they were on fire?

i'm acquaintance of top 300 tennis player in the world who has struggled past couple of seasons.. by one standard, he was the most dominant male junior tennis player of the last 35 years (if i heard an announcer right). by many other standards, he wasn't even close to that. but he won at least 2 grand slams i think....... anyway, looking at old tapes of him his basic game seems so different now. just his basic strategy and game makeup. nothing technical. i debate whether suggesting looking at old video to him or his father (if i see them sometime soon).

Is it time to start officially worrying about Speef yet? All his stats are terrible so far this year, not just the putting. He looks lost.

I think Tiger’s shot from the bunker over water in the dark (at Glen Abbey? I forget) and his chip in at the Masters are bigger/better but that shot yesterday is definitely up there .

I’m worried. He strikes me as the type to shine unbelievably bright then crash and burn. The tour would be a much less interesting place without his magic

the chip-in at masters will always be #1...... i was thinking greatness of shot more.

i was there that week in canada, but not that day.. saw tiger go minus 6 over 4 holes.

i got two insights on TW Glen Abbey from caddying on canadian tour,

1) one player said tiger was aiming way left of where his shot ended up. i.e. was actually hitting a much safer shot. haven't heard anyone else say that. but this player as adamant.

2) i saw another player in my group hit TW's exact shot. from bunker 220 out tight to a pin with water in front (wasn't as tight, and of course not 72nd hole of PGA tourney... and almost 20 years onwards). the player put it within 10 feet. told him that was the best shot i'd ever seen.

They were replaying tigers shot at GA with a bunch of other tour players last year or the year before and it was actually a pretty simple shot. Fleetwood even got there with a 7i and was tighter. I also play there a few times a year and have done it (not on first try, but I'm not a great golfer). Ya nerves and dark etc, but not that tough of a shot with a decent lie.

The shot from yesterday I dont even understand how it happened. Dont think I could reproduce it with 1000 balls.

i agree to some degree that in theory it isn't that hard a shot... i think matsuyama might have had as good a shot a few weeks ago

but it was 19 years ago. guys hit all their clubs much further with confidence today

and of course, it was hole #72 at a pga tourney

I can not believe that Rory still has that kid on his bag.

lol. always novel when the novice spectator picks up a ball

this could be cliche and wrong...

i wonder if JS will get back to the mega-elite level he was at.

he isn't as long as many of the other players who are or were at that level recently........ puts so much pressure on putting, where he was the best. but i think if his long game suffers, then the mental pressure on his putting is too great.

seems like a very intelligent, thoughtful, analytical guy. i think he'd be much better served by relative ignorance through a slump.

sick shot that by Rory up against the tree!

not watching closely.

but that was very interesting that rory and dj were both up tight against a tree, near a cart path, with tons of similarities (some differences). and got different rulings. DJ with the free drop

the announcers thought the rules officials got it right... i think so too although a think a rory drop was defensible too.

i saw it with rob oppenheimer on web.com but it's funny when golfers claim they were going to do something wild. rory claimed he was going to chip into the trees with a slightly unnatural stance so that he could show his foot would be on cart path.... surely a penalized drop made more sense. could be wrong

The difference was Rory missed left of the fairway, he was never actually going to stand on the cart path and play the ball even further from the hole he was always going to play that shot left handed
