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.
Peter Malnati played with Grayson Murray during the first two rounds this week. Visibly shaken, this is heartbreaking to watch as Amanda Balionis is emotional, too. @flushingitgolfpic.twitter.com/mVLeSKvo6e
This guy MacIntyre is one annoying pain in the ass. Bitching every two minutes about the drone, people moving, people talking, where people are standing. He is slow as fuck and just a guy I can't root for. [Reply]
I am thinking about purchasing a launch monitor. The Garmin R10 costs around $450.
Do you guys have any experience with monitors? I golf 85ish on good days, 90 on a rough day. My 12 year old son has really taken to playing, and has a beautiful swing. I think we'd use the hell out of a monitor, but I probably won't go the projector route, just a net and maybe a cheap 65" TV. [Reply]

Fast as hell, dry, hard and no rough around greens to stop balls from rolling into bunkers, off greens or coming back off false fronts.
I don't think I could break 125 playing under these conditions from the pro tees.
I've moved up from the back tees at the age of 62 3/4 years. 10 years ago I could play 7,000 yards fairly well but the last ten years have taken a toll on my distance. Any idea of what yardage they are playing #2 at this week? [Reply]
