  Yeah.....1 in 50,000,000 at best.

  That was crazy.

  Stricker with a 67 on moving day.

  Rory with a par from the tree....solid

  Tiger's birdie putt took a left turn at Albuquerque.

  This has the makings of another tiger collapse today.
• Ironman92

  

  I have not watched any of Tiger's good rounds since his last major victory.
  
  He simply never makes a putt and if he does his next tee ball is awful. I won't be watching much of the rest today....but will be locked in tomorrow....he's not winning.
• Crimson streak

  

  Play being suspended was probably the best thing for tiger he gets to re group and could possibly play well tomorrow and be back in it. But I can also see rory running away with it

  Tomorrow all depends on the weather. If the wind blows north/south look for some really high scores. They caught a break today with the crosswind.

  Hidden Hills=Augusta North:thumbup: on a side not though my little sister whos 13 is learning how to golf so I take her there since its a good beginners course and she won't lose all my golf balls. Anyways on the front 9 I had whopping 10 putts and shot -1 hitting the ball average. There is literally zero change in those greens, just slopes down

  Tiger finished good but Rory to -7

  Rory sinks one from the fringe on 18 to win by about 100

  Never thought about it that way, it does have that Amen Corner on the far north side.

  When Rory wins a major, he definitely leaves no doubt. Impressive win. He had been struggling lately, but he has definitely found his game now.

  Rory is a phenomenal talent but the PGA Championship wasn't even a blip on the world's sports radar yesterday. Hell Ochostinko's arrest carried more clout on media lead-ins than the PGA. Its unfortunate but golf's biggest personality crapped in his spikes again this weekend and the public tuned out.

  Shot a 35 subbing in a league where I previously shot a 42.
  
  That's why you're flawed and retarded, handicapped leagues.

  A couple years ago I had a back issue the first couple weeks of league and no one could fill in, so I went out and could barely bend over to pick my ball up. First healthy night the league has me as a 15 (on 9 holes) and I shoot 37. net 22..handicapped leagues are the worst.

  Exactly. Handicap leagues are for cheaters. Def not saying you cheated, but in general, the people who play in them are sandbaggers.

  Anybody doing the Tee It Forward being promoted by the USGA? Our league moved to the Whites and everybody is hitting 7 irons into the greens. Takes away big drivers like me's advantages.
• stlouiedipalma

  Being an old fart, I play the senior tees with my Monday foursome. My three partners are all 20+ years younger than me and bomb it off the tee. The senior tees allow me to hit it where they do. Even with that, however, I still have to hit the second shot and do all of the short game stuff. On weekend rounds at other courses they sometimes elect to play from the tips. If they play the back tees, I simply move up to the next teebox. It keeps things competitive and everyone is happy with it.

  Eh I don't know. We play from the tips and theres a guy who hits it about 30 yards less than me and is hitting 6 irons when I'm hitting 9 irons and he takes my lunch every week. Distance is easily the most overrated stat in golf.

  Shot a 1 under 35 on Sunday at a little local 9 hole place. First time I have ever broke par. I was pleased.

  The less "sexy" it is in golf....the more it affects your score.

  I've always played from the tips and I'm not a big hitter. The only holes I struggle to hit on in 2 are par 4s over 430ish, which there aren't too many of those around. Doesn't matter which tee you play from if you're always 2 chipping and 2 putting.
