Love the commercial where the golfer asks Ricky Fowler’s group if he can play through.
I saw that he won despite being 2 strokes over the average number of putts per round for the tournament. That means you are hitting good drives and even better iron shots.
Molinari did it a couple of weeks ago as well. It was worse.
I saw Finau hit a 50 yd snap hook off the first tee at the Tour Championship a couple of years ago. He jokingly had his caddy throw him another ball and told Rory, "two off the first, right"? They're human and will occasionally look just like the rest of us.
Ditto for Phil at Pebble earlier this year on no. 14 at Pebble, he hit such a ridiculous snap hook that it crossed the OB line about 50 yards off the tee. Then reteed for his 3rd shot and hit a slice damn near OB on the other side of the course. Shit happens, even to the very best of golfers.
Glad Westwood sunk that putt on 18 for solo 2nd. The guy has made over 2 million the last two weeks with second place finishes. Seems to be enjoying golf a lot right now.
Once you get past level 4, you have to navigate a Genesis SUV to the course w/o falling asleep.
Wonder what kind of pain meds he’s on for the most recent injuries? Gotta be some strong stuff!
Thanks for the Palmetto Hall recs. Ending up playing them and Dolphin Head.
Fowler down to 90th in world, best finish 20th at Genesis, did make cuts at Masters and US Open. Not playing at all this week. Less talk of the rut he is in than Spieth's. Granted one is a major winner. But for the media attention he gets, the only one who says it out loud is Faldo.
Pretty typical for the area. Tight in places with water but generally plenty of room off the tee. It (along with the other courses) was still getting in shape from the winter but I'd much prefer to play in HH in March when it's in the low 70's vs low 90's. There were a lot of great deals to play down there with it still considered off-season.

Is it better the EA Sports Tiger Woods 2012?
I have tried the new game systems and they suck in comparison.
Can say first hand it's crazy what an injury can do to your Golf game. Messed my back up and developed some really poor swing habits while trying to compensate for it. Made me really appreciate how unbelievable Tiger's comeback was. For a feel player as elite as Spieth is I can see why a hand injury completely screwed his swing up.
I don't remember that game very well so it would be hard for me to compare. 2K21 has a ton of features and you can build your own course. I enjoyed the Tiger Woods game from a few years ago that allowed you to play Augusta. Can't remember the year but you could use the PS Move controller to simulate a golf swing and that game was awesome.
JB is fortunate just be out there with his past medical conditions so I won't fault him for his collapse on the golf course.
The old EA Tiger Woods 2012 was on a disc I used for XBox. I tried something last year on a download for a new Xbox and it was terrible in comparison.
Espn had an article a couple of weeks ago about his awfulness
ESPN Article on why Ricky is no longer a star
True, but he won the LA Open just a year or two ago. TBH, he gives me the impression that golf is a chore for him, not something he really loves doing. Maybe I am wrong . . .
I guess it is really hard for guys at that level, who have to practice all day and do it almost every day, to keep it from turning into a job instead of a passion.
