Getting 24 rounds a day isn't exactly growth...that's one 3some an hour from 8-4....in other words, that's shit.
Until the India Times reports this I'm not believing any of these fake golf news sites and their bull shit.
John Feinstein is like Jekyll and Hyde. How can someone so biased and horrendous at basketball be so damned good when writing and talking golf.
I was listening to his show on XM today and reminded how good he is at golf. But damn his love for Duke and Ratface make it hard to like him.

Just ordered his new book
I'm sure I'll pick it up soon too. If he'd just quit talking about basketball I'd be a huge fan.
Feinstein is good at talking/writing about golf, but his hatred for UK and Cal means that I can support him in any way.
Cawood:
Recommend a book similar to Slaying The Tiger -- inside-the-ropes & behind the scenes on the Tour type stuff.

BBdK, have you tried the cross hands putter grip that Jordan Spieth uses? I made the switch after the Eli, and though it's still a work in progress, but my long putt (over 8 ft) percentage has gone up significantly since making the switch. Much more consistency with my lines.

That's an awesome read. A must read if you like golf or beer.
And cole854 will donate $25 for every double or worse. And if I can make it I'll do $25 for every par or better.
Cross hand is the way to go. Easier to train you left side to pull through the putt rather than push with the right, which is more prone to opening or closing the putter face.
Padrig did an interview years ago saying he switched as soon as he turned pro and never went back. I tried it after I saw that interview and well, I'm 7% outside of 10 feet vs the 6.99% I was.

I'm in John. I figure we should raise around $500 for Houston. $100 from your birdies, $100 from my pars and $300 from each time Mark makes worse than bogey.
Good deal, lets raise some $. Tough course man, id be happy with a couple birds to be honest but obviously hoping for more.
If I play like I did yesterday I won't be helping much. Got to hit the range and work on some things tomorrow.
The forged or tour version? The forged JPX are exactly one iron stronger in loft than traditional Mizuno setups.
Couple things.
1. @cawoodsct, @cole854 and I didn't manage to help the people of Houston very much. Big Blue was brutal today; US Open style rough, no roll from all the rain and wind in our face most of the day. We still had fun.
2. Is it just me or does Johnny Miller get more insufferable every time NBC carries a tournament? Somebody get him a "get off my lawn" t shirt.

I had 13 birdie attempts today with my putter. All outside 10 feet,the majority 20+, none would fall. Wet, windy, gnarly rough, greens were aerated in last week (still very good but picked up a little sand with each putt)
It was a great day today playing with you and Mark and I donated $75 a second time to JJ Watts. Fun trying to give away $$$ on each hole.
You wore out the fairways and greens but putts were hard to come by today for all of us.
Thomas. Good lord. 
^he will not have a better season in his life.
Enjoy POY

Game starting to come into form given my skills. Hit the ball very well for me, 85/85 for 36 today. Crazy thing is I missed a ton of putts. Nearly 100% lock I won't break 93 this week. Weather has been incredible minus Friday
Good stuff here from the kid and Phil
Everything I have read about Phil is that he is legit. Very giving with his time and money. Word from tour players is that he is the biggest tipper on tour.
He probably is but I can't help but to think he's fake. I still pull for him if he's in contention and don't hate the guy but wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he kicked someone's dog either.
Looks like your right handed privilege is shining through pal. Against all odds and a golf industry that systematically oppresses the left handers, Phil has managed to rise up and get a seat at the table. Why does this bother you? Before you say anything, although I play sports right handed, I eat, write, and shave left handed. I am qualified to speak for my left handed brothers.
