Greens firmer and pin positions much more difficult overall. 14th green was just a monster. Many more players were laying up on 13 and 15 also.
Freddie!!! Say what kind of shoes is Freddie wearing anyhow? They don't look like golf shoes, looks like casual tennis shoes....sort of like these Seems like they wouldn't work, I know he's got back problems I wonder if his shoes are an attempt to mitigate that.
Didn't get into the Skybox contest because I haven't been following the golfers that much this year... At the Master's Wed. I watched Lee Westwood hit only two shots...a drive on 11 and a tee shot in the Par 3 Tourney...and later when my sons wanted to have a "Pick Two Golfer's" contest I got to pick first and took Westwood.
You have to be kidding me...a piece of pine cone from the air in the middle of Phils back swing on the putt??? Never see that again.
If I'd have tried that shot off the pine straw between two tree's that Phil just did they'd be calling 911 and I'd have a titlest tatoo on my forehead!
I tried a similar shot in Hobe Sound once. I was stymied in pine tree forest, my ball half buried in needles. But I could see path to the flag in front me, about 90 yards away. Or i could chip out to the fairway unimpeded. I chose the former, sensing a "Tiger" moment. I used a 4I for a low trajectory and a good roll. I focused in like Matt Damon in "Bagger Vance". I took a half swing and made solid contact with the ball. The ball made solid contact with a pine tree ten feet in front of me and in turn with my right knee cap on the ricochet. Then it caromed off my left shoulder and over the fence behind me..... out of bounds. It was reminiscient of the magic bullte theory in "JFK". The only person laughing louder than my brother in law was the lady in the yard who witnessed the debacle. Do not try that one at home... or anywhere else.
Congrats to JGregory he edges out Don by a stroke. 2nd straight contest a newbie wins over the establishment!! :cry: I did as bad here as I did in the Final 4. I think I should give up thinking about taking up gambling when I retire!
I like it too. Congrats to Jim. Getting to change your team before every round is a better way to go. Let's do it again next year.
You know I had Nick Watney and had to finally dump the turkey..so what does he do after I dump him? Go on a binge and pile up 7 or 8 birdes!! I could have been a Champion!
