Amen. But using new technology like hybrids AFTER you learn the basics is oK. I have a 3 hybrid. Excellent for long shots from the rough ( I have a lot of those ).

British Open. Can Spieth make it 3 Majors? Gosh, this guy is hot. I'm pulling for him.

Watched Tom Watson close out his career at the Open. Great golfer, great man. He won the Open 5 times...not too shabby.

Short game not bad, on the green good , out of sand good and from 100 yards out pretty good. Its my stance, its off the tee.

I can spray the ball, left for a Hook, right for a slice or right down the middle for a nice fairway shot but inconsistantly....its a crapshoot on the tee.



I have several drivers and trying to narrow down which is best for me.

I should hit a three wood off the tee but thats no fun, I want to tame one of these Drivers so I can take it on the Par 5 holes.

Heading out Monday to a local long course, will probably bring The Squarehead Nike Sumo Driver but should bring the Taylor Made. fUN fUN fUN.

Thanks guyz, I will keep it all in Mind.

Good Stuff, just watched the replay.

Faldo also was out their on the bridge for a few Photo's

Its lookin really good for him, could happen.

The rest of today and Tomorrow should be very interesting.

Duval looking like a contender, amazing.

This will be a crazy Monday finish. There are at least a half dozen who could win...maybe more.

I am in a foursome tomorrow but would rather remain home and watch this all unfold.

I will DVR it and try not to hear or see any of the action, we usually go to lunch after the round so, it will be difficult not to hear of or see the updates.

Best of Luck to Sergio.

Dues, will Sergio ever win a Major? How about Lee Westwood? Destined to follow in the steps of Colin Montgomerie. Can Dustin Jonnson do it? He shot a pair of 75s on the weekend. You have to think that McIlroy and Spieth will dominate for the next 7 years or more.

Think of some of the one time wonders: Trevor Immelman, Masters, Lucas Glover, US Open; Stewart Cink, British Open. Fickle game. Who is next?

Certainly not Sergio but I like the odds when wagering.

I think I will also have to start to lay a wager on Woods, he should get it back for another big one like some of the more dominant of the past have done.

Westwood looks like he should have already gotten one of those Majors, so I say yes, he will follow in Monte's steps and not get one, that ship may have sailed, its just that some guys just get that zone and it lights up 2010 was his year to do it but did not get it done.

Rory's injury seams minor, so I agree, he will be there again.
Speith for sure as well. I just cant make money with those guys so they will not be my picks.

Dustin can and probably will, but I will not be rooting for him.
I just cannot get over the way he walked off the course and out of the facility at the Open, no class. Dustin Johnson leaving his runner up chair empty at the presentation was rediculous.

Even Tiger sticks around to do his duty and even answer stupid questions after a lose.

I will be following an Aussie, John Senden. The guy is tight with Greens in regulation, a long ball hitter and only needs to have a hot day with the putter to win a Major. He will be there.

Let me know what you think M.

18 holes on Monday

Hit 7 Fairways Last week

Shot a 106

Getting close, only lost two Balls.

Now I know I am making Progress.

LPGA Brit Open final tomorrow.

Korean Women have been solid and will most likely continue to be for a Victory.

Think you nailed it Dues...it was a Korean that one? There were a few in the top 10 as well I think

Just joined my local club after a good few years off...82, 92 and 93 for an 18 handicap...now where's that Ben Hogan book

Very Nice, enjoy.

I reccomend the golf logix app if you use a smart phone.

It really is amazing, gives you all distances for almost any course, great tracking to advance your play. Special offers on everything golf.

And Free.

Unless you want the upgraded version.
That is 10 or 20 bucks a year.

What's the longest drive ever by a professional golfer?

I'll check that app out Dues, thanks!

Oli, not really PGA,but these guys use like a 4degree lofted driver!

Bubba Watson hit this in competition
https://youtu.be/zDb_AeI-bH8

Yes, I remember it being Bubba but alot of factors contribute to a long Drive.

I would rather be consistant in short game than a long driver.

At today's 3rd round of the Bridgestone T of Champions, Jim Furyk set the record for Green's in Regulation - 700. I think I might have 650 to catch him.

Dont forget his ( Furyk) - half a Rock for third place.

Yup, a half a million dollars for Third Place.

Not bad for a few days of Golf.

I will be out tomorrow for 18 holes, weather looks good.

Dues. I just resigned from my current job. I got some golf on the schedule for next weeks. Can't wait to see what the muscle memory remembers. Played 9 in April. Should be a hoot.

Nice, good luck. I remember once I walked into my local haunt I was hangin at, at the time and yelled out " I just quit my Job and feel feel fuckin great"

Well the place erupted and screamin laughter, It was a blast.

Hope someone buys you a beer. And I hope you find the deep middle of the fairway on every Tee.

Go hit em up and have a great time.

I was hot today on the front 9, shot a 48, thought this was the day but shot a 57 on the back for a 105.

The 105 is my low for the season, maybe next time i'll break 100.

Have fun and good luck Cas

Aug 18, played 18, shot 108 with a couple of Mulligans thrown in. Par'd one hole, par 3. No excuses, but I did tweak my back on the second hole. Had fun. Boomed a couple of drives and a fairway 3 wood; chunked a few chips, made some 10-12 ft putts and threw in a few 3 putts. Highlight of the round - safely hit out of 3 greenside bunkers.

Aug 25, played 9, walked by myself. Didn't keep score. Par'd a short 3 - 110 yards. Par'd a short 5; on in 3, lipped out the bird. A couple of triple bogeys. Might play again this week. Two weeks of not working feels great. Went to the beach 5 times. Nice scenery; water warms, waves up.

Very Nice, you are playing well.

I just got a new 56 degree Wedge ( Titleist BV) - was droppin the ball on the green , gives great Loft.

Played 18 on Sunday - The Emanon CC in Exeter Twp, PA. Emanon spelled backwards is No Name. Was having a little lower back/hip issues. Affected my take away and transition to the down swing. Did manage 2 pars (both 3s). Was not striking the ball well in the fairway. Went to the chiropractor this morning. See how it feels tomorrow.

Look out Rory and Jordan! Here comes Jason. Should be an interesting run at the FED EX if these 3 are on their game. And don't forget Bubba.

Good luck with the Back & HiP.

I would like to see Bubba over them both.
