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.
I went and hit a big bucket of balls and just returned home. Snedeker and Cabrera Couldn't be two more different guys to watch play together. I have to pull for Snedeker who I believe has ties to some folks around these parts. [Reply]

Yes. His grandparents and mom gre up in the west plains , Thayer mo area in south central mo.
His mom actually went to school with my mom. I know Brandt's uncle pretty well too [Reply]
Three doubles on the back did me in. The rough around the greens is incredibly patchy, and if the ball drops down in that bare spot around sprouted grass you're absolutely fucked, as I play the ball down.
Swung like crap, so I'm not too displeased, but I came to the last needing a par to break 80 only to blade a pitch shot over the green. I was fucking pissed.

One ball and one tee all day.
Better to go long than land short. 81 isn't anything to be ashamed of. [Reply]

The course I play has elevated greens that slope back to front. If you go long it's nearly impossible to get up and down, especially since the grass is thin, wispy, and grows on clay.
It's a shot I honestly have no idea what to do with, because the equator of the ball is below the level of the grass, which makes it essentially impossible to hit the ball first. [Reply]
