Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

But the scoring is around the greens where 70% of the shots are hit.
What did you use to construct the green if you don't mind sharing. I would love to make a putting green like that some day [Reply]

As expected, DJ and Garcia completely disintegrated. Mickelson also shot himself out of the tournament with an absolutely atrocious seven hole stretch.
I shudder to think of a Masters weekend following around a golfer with a game as banal as Jim Furyk. [Reply]

The underlayment is where the work is. There's 8 tons of rock under that thing. Seemed excessive but we've already had some torrential downpours here in FL and it drained off like a champ. We love it. I plan on holding a draft party while we putt around the green. [Reply]
Guan gets first slow-play penalty in a major since 2004.
John Paramour is probably old enough to remember yelling at 14-year-old Chinese boys to hurry up laying down that railroad track. Instinct just kicked in. [Reply]

Yeah the kid DOES play really slow but damn, he's just a kid. Hope he makes the cut. [Reply]
