So I guess Rory remembered that he is one of the best golfers in the world and is shooting -9 through 16 today!

So this year is the second year that I've played in a golf league, and I've been playing for 2.5 years now, after a 20 year break. At 46 years old, I'm not exactly going to set the world on fire with amazing distance. I did have 3 birdie putts last week though. Unfortunately the greens were punched so I only sank one of them. After a long winter and knee surgery, I came back slowly. I had to work out some bad habits and made some adjustments to my swing. I'm holding my hands a lot closer, getting power from twisting my torso. This had been causing me to hook/draw everything. Then I remembered that I have to add some lag into my swing like I'm trying to stab the ball and now my shots are more consistent and traveling much farther. Things I have to work on now to break 90: Stop hitting behind the ball. Sometimes I get lazy and don't transfer enough weight to my front foot and the club hits the ground behind the ball. It's a bad habit from having a bad knee. Pitching: I have the Ping W,U, and S wedges. (Ping has to be special with their labels) I could use a 60 degree wedge. 3 wood and 5 wood. I never hit the 3 wood on the course, and the 5 wood I only use off the tee when I need to hit a short drive. I'm way to inconsistent with them. I can hit them on the range when I'm on a good streak, but it's a different story on the course. Distance: I don't hit very far. Sand Wedge is 70, Gap (U) wedge is about 90-100, Pitching wedge is 105-115, etc. Long par 3s are hard for me because I have to hit a hyrid 180 yards. My putting is decent. I go to the range about 4 days a week.

Will Wilcox with a loving awesome ace (and celebration) on the legendary #17 at the Players E: Last one to do it was Jimenez in 2002. drat. E2: God his swing is so odd too hahaha DJExile fucked around with this message at 23:49 on May 13, 2016 |

I thought he must have been in between clubs, or somebody yelled in his backswing or something, but nope. It's nice seeing some more dudes having success with unconventional swings, makes us hackers feel like our swings may be okay after all. That dual wind monitor they have for 17 is cool and explains some things too. Seeing it show 2mph hurting on the tee but 8mph helping at the green explains why so many people take one club too much on that hole, plus the whole nerves thing. Edit- Wilcox even has a super weird putting stroke too lol. His feet are like 30 degrees left of his line and really close together.

Celebration was better than the swing that's for sure haha Solid round mattfl - no 3 putts but you would have liked a lot more single putts as they all add up.

Yeah I'm playing first light Sunday morning too. Been a bit off my game lately because of lower back pain. More psychological than physical because I know it's there and I'm apprehensive or modifying my swing to avoid it. Think I'll spend a fair amount of time warming up from now on.

Back to back birdies in front of a foursome I was playing through this morning made me feel like a baller. 4-over 74 in the end, easily my best round of the year so far. Figuring out why I was hooking everything made such a huge difference, I've gotten so many more GIRs per round and most of my misses have been on the fringe or just barely in the rough. I only took a few practice shots with the new 4 wood and definitely haven't figured it out yet. I think I may be swinging it too hard so the next time I'm out I'll have to spend some more time experimenting. Rory wearing joggers today again and just missed a 2 foot tap-in, karma! And wow, Sergio makes a great 90-degree bend putt and then 5 putts the next hole lol Suprfli6 fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 14, 2016 |

I went out to dinner and DVRed the second half of the coverage, these greens are absolutely brutal. I swear you can see some of them getting noticeably more brown every time a group plays them.

Frank Nobilo just poured a couple ounces of water on one of the greens and it beaded up and trickled down like 10 feet, never absorbing. Another player said they were so slick that he was worried about putting his putter down behind the ball and having it slip and hit the ball.

Here's my round from right after they punched at Rancho:  The greens were super unfun to play on, but if I can figure out how to ram every putt directly at the hole because that poo poo's not going to break at all, then I'd bet the pros could too. I hope Day shoots 62 tomorrow. He's ridiculous. 205y 8i into 16? Why not? BCRock fucked around with this message at 04:31 on May 15, 2016 |

Nah, Rancho Park is right in the middle of Los Angeles. It's where the LA Open was before it moved to Riviera. Rancho Cucamonga is about an hour east of LA.

Apparently Sawgrass is replacing the greens after this tournament so they're not worried about killing the grass this weekend, which resulted in the extreme conditions yesterday. Hopefully today they make them a bit more reasonable.

Speaking of tee times. So I had a loving awesome round this morning. Drives were hitting the fairways and I can't think of any par 4 where I hit the fairway that I didn't have a PW or less into the green. The second par 5 I went 3W 7 iron to within 10 feet and left the eagle putt just outside the cup for a tap in birdie. My putting wasn't even as bad as the 31 putts make it seem. All my pars were basically kick ins as I was usually right at the hole leaving it just by or just short, probably should have had a few more birdies. I had 2 or 3 15'+ par saves that really saved me, but the putts just seemed to be going in. The only real trouble I got in was 18. All I was thinking was nice easy drive into the fairway and get it on the green. Of course my first bad drive of the day winds up in the sand 165 yards out from the green. I smoked a 7 iron out of the sand and into the wind onto the green and had about 25' for birdie, it was a big sweeping right to left uphill putt and it just didn't quite turn enough and left it 2" to the right of the cup, tap in for par and an even 72 so I can't complain. Felt drat good all day long.

Good drive, laid up to 80 or so yards and caught it a little too much into the teeth and ended up behind the hole and had to flop up to the pin and 2 putted. 3 I pulled my tee shot and wound up in the sand, didn't quite get out as nicely as I could have and 2 putted.
