Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Well, Rory is now a NIke guy. Pretty cool commercial

Saw this earlier today.

Dude, is that your real hair?

It's 2013, time to think about ways to improve my game this year.

Last year I dropped two points off my handicap, going from an 18 to a 16.

Goals for the year...

1. Take lessons. My daughter's HS Golf Coach is also a teaching pro at the club I belong to. Kristen spent 8 years as a pro on the Duramed Futures tour and the LPGA tour. I'm going to invest some time with her for myself as well as all three of my kids.

2. Play more with different people. I regularly play by myself with just an audiobook for company. After spending 4 and a half days teaching, I enjoy my own company on a Friday afternoon. It's time I start joining some of the other guys. For me, it's often been about a lack of self-confidence in my game, but screw it. I turn 50 this fall. I'm going to quit worrying about it and have some more fun.

3. My clubs are OK, but they're knockoffs. I found out I'm getting an unexpected bonus in March, and I'm thinking about a set of Ping G20's. My current clubs are Ping copies, and I have Ping G5's and G2's, so I've always liked them.

Other things...

I think switching to Nike is going to affect Rory. It'll take him half a season or more to get used to the new gear.

Tiger getting back with his ex? I think that might be exactly what he needs to get back on top at a Major.

Phil? Lefty's hurting. I expect to see him in the booth within the next few years. I think the arthritis and the wear and tear are getting to be too much for him.

ChiefMojo · 01-17-2013, 07:49 AM

Do you think he would sit it out in the booth till 50 or are you assuming he is done... just concentrate on sportscasting?

Unless they come up with a more effective treatment for his arthritis. I think he'll be in the booth for good.

**OnTheWarpath58** · 01-31-2013, 01:30 PM

Lefty has a 25 foot putt to card a 59 in the Waste Management Open at TPC Scottsdale...

OMG.

360 degree lip-out.

Unreal.

60 for Lefty.

Ties his own course record.

theelusiveeightrop · 01-31-2013, 03:49 PM

Lefty 60 . Nice. Good wife also.

Jerm · 01-31-2013, 03:54 PM

That very easily could've been a 58....

That...was unexpected.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-23-2013, 04:47 PM

It's been a while since we've done a WITB.

What sticks are you all playing this year?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-24-2013, 02:01 PM

Finchem just came out and said the PGA tour does not support the idea of banning anchored putters.

I realize I'm in the minority, but I think that anchoring is complete bullshit.

Also, they will announce a ruling on Vijay Singh and deer antler spray soon.

Personally, I think he should be banned for life, especially since he was banned from the Asian Tour for cheating once already.

What is this about Vijay? Just hearing about it.

And yeah, the anchor putting is absolutely bullshit.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-24-2013, 02:14 PM

He admitted to using deer antler spray. It's a banned substance.

This is funny on a few levels, because Singh has already destroyed his rep once from cheating. He's also a surly asshole who can't hold on to caddies because he hits golf balls for 10 hours a day, every day. I know the ad hominem isn't necessary, but he stinks, and I hate him.

Given the self-policing nature of golf, transgressions must be penalized in a Draconian fashion.

O.city · 02-24-2013, 02:16 PM

Vijay has always been an asshole, so that doesnt' surprise me at all.
