The Golf Thread

I only carry a 64 degree wedge and a putter. I usually have to choke down about 4 inches to keep from flying the green with a half swing.

Same here except I just open the face. Flop everything from 150 yds in.

Yup. It's amazing the soft landing you get when you can hit it 500 ft into the air.

After a few buckets, I am smashing my Hi-bore. First Cleveland I have owned. Just bought a Taylormade Burner 3i hybrid. Playing Smyrna Municipal Wednesday.

Nice, about 10 minutes away from there. Do you know if they finally opened their grass on the range?

Back on topic...anybody see highlights from the qualifiers?

i just saw one from Columbus where a guy's putting from about 15 feet, and he needs to hole it to qualify
the ball tracks to the hole, then hangs on the lip
the golfer kinda stands there dumdfounded and when he turns away the ball drops in, then he goes nuts

Yeah, he missed the cut at Memorial and was complaining about his knee, but he played 36 just fine. Didn't get after it much and quit crouching down to read his putts......

Good to see Casey Martin make it back as well. I'll be cheering for him along with Tiger next weekend

Tiger??

Yeah, you know there will be a lot of coverage of Martin. I like to see guys come up from the qualifying stages do wellembed what an 'open' championship is all about

 

[golfballs]

I enjoy watching tiger play but I don't root for him

It was good to see Martin make it. He said he has only played about 20 times in the last year. I wonder what everyone will say about the golf cart this time around.

 

[golfballs]

i love Olympic.

damn i really want to go out there

Don't get me started.

 

[vol_in_ar]

the clip I saw of him, it looked like he could barely walk
he was limping bad

 

[MSUDuo]

Tiger??

Yep, Tiger. The one and only. The reason I started golfing. I'll root for him until he retires, I die, or he dies

 

[volfanbill]

Don't get me started.

I actually would like to know your stance on it. I've got no issues with it in this case, and I'm usually the purest of purists.

 

[crazyguy]

I cheer for Tiger, golf is just more fun when he's playing well.
