I get that. I'm just thinking about what they could do IF they wanted to make the course tougher in the future. Water seems to be the best bet but I do like the windmill idea.
Never saw him, but I guess he wasn't what I was really looking for either.Originally posted by Geese Feeder:
Saw Rob in the Keeneland Clubhouse Saturday. Poor guy looked a mess. Sadly stood around the lawn by himself with a sling, appearance all disheveled. No idea how he dressed himself, actually. Offered to buy him a drink but all he kept talking about was finding a hotdog. Props for toughing it out I guess.

I bowl (not very well) competitively, and I can tell you the better bowlers do not look at the pins when they throw the ball.Originally posted by B.B.d.K.:
Thoughts on Spieth looking at the hole on shorter putts? Anyone know his 'cut off' for that?
I ask, b/c I played with a new member yesterday who look at the hole on ALL putts, and he was brilliant.
He was a competitive bowler, and said you look at the pins when bowling, look at the hoop when shooting, look at the target when throwing darts, etc, etc -- so why not look at the target while putting? Said when he looked at the ball when putting, he was constantly focused on his stroke and watching the club instead of the ball, stressing about his line and constantly correcting mid-stroke -- which I'm guilty of myself.
Makes sense if you think about it.
Edited to say once again, Chief is awful.
He said he was a "spot" bowler, which I assume is what all the garbage above means...my point was, you don't watch the ball or peak at your arm going back, wasn't trying to break down the nuances of the bowling stroke/terminology.Originally posted by kybobcat:

They look at their mark, the path of the ball, and the break point. Because most nights, the break point changes constantly.
Example: I bowled in a tournament this weekend where the line was constantly moving; ergo I struggled with scores in the mid-500's. But in my league Saturday night, the line didn't change until the middle of the third game; the result was a 757 series.
The top guys know when to make changes when the lanes change.
Bowled in a league over at Eastland for a couple years, and the "spot bowling" technique was how I was taught.
I misunderstood. I thought you meant he locked onto the pins the whole time he was approaching the foul line.
