I care. I will watch what I can on tv. I wonder how much longer this thing keeps ticking, though?

If the internationals will win one, it will be steady forever. Very entertaining golf.

I love the golf. I guess its just like the Ryder Cup being on shaky ground early on. Way too one-sided

I am watching while I rest up for the trip back to Knoxville for the UGa game. My wife has been to it twice when played down the road from us at Lake Manassas. Silly me, I worked instead.

I went to the first one, which was at Manassas. Awesome time. Played that course the following Spring. Great track.

Anybody know why my regular Golf Channel has the Cup on but the HD one has The Big Break?

I assure you that watching Leonard's putting sucked in HD just as it did in SD.

Probably better for the event in general, but was awful to see.

I am catching a little of day two from my hotel and I could swear Leonard was going for the chest bump with Phil after the winning putt, and Phil put the whammy on that idea. Anyone catch that?

That's because the reverberations would be visible through Phil's tight ass shirt for 30 seconds.

couple of things that crossed my mind:

1. what's with the practice putting after a team has lost (or won) a hole? i see a lot of this going on and i get why they do it but, why don't we see more of this in your average tourney?

2. what's the play of pace rules for match play? to continue question #1, seems like the practice strokes would be a delay of play?

On your first question, I don't think it is allowed in Stroke Play. I could be wrong, but I think it is only allowed in Match Play and that's why you only see it in this tournament and the Ryder Cup.

seems kind of dumb it would be allowed in one format and not the other, but then again, golf has some pretty dumb rules.

This is correct. In match play you can practice putting once the hole is complete. Stroke play, you cannot.

The actual rule is not in the Rule Book as a set rule. It is usually applied by the governing Rules Committee of that tournament as a Local Rule. Much like the "One Ball" rule is invoked by the rules committee. The one ball rule only specifies that you finish the hole with the ball you start with, or if you lose it, one of the same make. Now, the PGA Tour has guidelines that all of their tournaments enforce that sometimes differ from the USGA, R&A, European Tour and on and on.

It wasn't that long ago that the Captains and Governing Committe of the Ryder Cup decided to disallow practicing after a hole. Not sure what year that was.

Pace of play does factor into the reasoning as to why such a rule would be invoked, but the best answer is that the Match is between that set group of players. They all finish the hole at the same time, so it is not to their advantage to practice over any other group on the course. Each participant in the group as the same opportunity to practice.
