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.
As for as the equipment argument I would say not if Jack had todays equipment, but what if Tiger had to play with the equipment they played with in Jacks hey day.
I would love to see an old school tournament with todays players persimmon woods, balata wound balls, the old non-rifle irons, and old bulls-eye blade putters.
Ummm, no, Jack's competition had the same equipment that Jack did. Same with Tiger.. [Reply]
Seriously, yes equipment has gotten better. Courses have gotten harder though. There are a shit load of VERY talented golfers these days. Tiger is a phenomenon, plain and simple. He will shatter EVERY record in golf. Not even close.
BTW, I am not a big Tiger fan, but you have to respect the guy, I mean you are watching the greatest golfer ever, make history. [Reply]

Not what I was saying .... I would love to see todays players play with that equipment. Not just Tiger mind you but everyone, atleast a one time tournament. [Reply]
Went out yesterday and shot 95 (45/50). It's been a few years since I've done that. I had three pars on the front, should have been four, but I missed a three footer. I was hitting the new driver pretty good again as well.
A lot of you are probably thinking, "hmmm, 95? Who cares?" Well, I do for one...lol. When I used to play a lot, I shot in the mid-low 90s all the time, with the occassional high 80. It's probably been 4 years or more since I broke 100, so I'm pretty excited and would play every day now if I could. [Reply]

Congrats.... Anytime you can make it out and enjoy the round it makes it all the more worth it. Here is to you breaking 90 next time you go out. :-)
I actually got out on Friday for my 2nd time this year :-). I usally have at least 20 rounds under my belt by this time. Played the front 9 terrible but rallied on the back, so now since I have had a taste I will have to get back on the wagon. [Reply]

Don't worry man. I'm there with you right now. At my previous course, I could go down and shoot low 80's-mid 80's consistently. Moved out this year to a tougher course and my scored went up to low 90's-mid 90's. I just about done figuring my handicap and I'm looking at a 17 or so....maybe higher than that....I'll know after my next round.
I feel like I'm hitting the ball better this year, but on the tougher course, my score is higher. I've hit 100 more this year than I have in the past 4 years. [Reply]
Earlier today, Villegas cold topped one out of the rough that traveled about 7 feet in the air before it scuttled down the fairway a few yards. It was delightfully pathetic. [Reply]
