The Golf Thread

I played #5 last year. On the first tee, the starter said " the sprinkler heads are marked with distances to the front, middle and back of the green. And since the course was designed by Donald Ross, you're a moron if you use shoot for anything but the middle."

You don't have to root against Day to root for Spieth.

But they both can't win. That's my point.

#8, 5, and 4. #2 was closed for maintenance, but we scrubs would have died on that track. 5 and 4 were great, 8 was mediocre, IMO. #1-5 all start at the main clubhouse.

If you head that way again, you should look into staying at Pinehurst but broadening your courses. Tobacco Road and Pine Needles are must play courses. There are a ton of packages that let you play the Pinehurst courses and mix and match from the other greats out in the Southern Pines area.

I get your point, but you went about it quite possibly the worst way possible

Tiger had a solid round yesterday. Scored a 64.

I'd say so. If he can just keep it on the golf course off the tee, he can score.

Like I've been saying for the past three years or so, the question is can he put four rounds together?

Man, Tiger is starting to show glimpses of the old Tiger.

and this why we get flooded with Tiger news instead of letting the game grow. Two good rounds and suddenly it's 2003.

I laughed.

But he did say "glimpses"; he didn't say "OHMAHGERD TIGER IS BACK!"

This. I'm not going to do backflips over him doing well in 2 rounds.

Does he even need his driver this tournament? I don't believe this course would require it to go low.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I did laugh at some of the ESPN crew definitely overreacting to Woods yesterday; but then again it was a slow sports day and I guess it was nice for them to be able to report something positive for the guy for once.

Plus you do have to give him credit, he had to come out and be on fire to have any chance of making the playoff and so far he's stepped up. That's certainly not been the norm in a long time.

 

[GAVol]

Playing well again today. He's really swinging under control.

 

[vol_in_ar]

yep, some finally got through to him that he doesn't have to swing hard and come out of his shoes every shot

 

[GAVol]

2 shots back and had two brutal lip outs. He's still not quite hitting it like Tiger, but he's getting there.

I'm bummed he's not in the final paring, but oh well. Hard way to end on 18 yesterday, so it'll be interesting to see if he can get off to fast start today.

Tiger 3 back from the leaders, he needs to win today to extend his season.

 

[volfanbill]

Oh Tiger...

 

[GAVol]

Wow... You can really tell that he just doesn't trust it around the green. Kind of amazing to go as low as he is with that running through his head.

 

[GAVol]

DL3 On the other hand...

How crazy would this be?

I can't recall ever seeing Tiger blade a chip shot like that and it was if it just flipped the switch

 

[MAD]

Just when we thought Tiger Woods had found his game he implodes and takes a TRIPLE bogey on hole 11. Now -10 and 7 strokes behind.

 

[GAVol]

I think crazy just happened.

Love doesn't really get talked about as a great because of his only having one major, but he's really had a nice career and played well for a long time.
