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.
With winds like this on a links course you can keep it low and let the baked turf and slow greens keep it humane. Here you have to play target golf in a four club wind. This isn't a choke, just brutal conditions. [Reply]
Its a shame that brooks does not even like golf that much. I mean when you look at his physical attributes and his overall package that he brings to the game, he could be a poor mans tiger.
But because he is so standoffish, acts like he does not care about golf, not warm to the fans, shows zero emotion on the golf course, on and on. Basically is a bit of a douche when he plays.
If he just changed his fuc*ing personality and came across as someone who LOVED golf and couldn't get enough of it, maybe talked about how he loves to do things with kids charities and smiled more. and for Gods sake, show a little emotion on the course, the guy could be a full blown superstar.
Its just a shame when someone with this much talent comes along once every ten years or so and its just wasted because the rest of the package is so unbelievably awful. [Reply]
Hey everyone, I'm just now getting caught up reading this thread. Thanks for all of the EXCELLENT advice. I did mean clubs for myself....not my son.
I appreciate everyone that took time to weigh in.
Thanks! [Reply]

Did you watch Thursday and Friday when Brooks and Tiger played in the same group? Between every hole walking by lines of fans, Tiger would keep his head down and not even make eye contact with fans. While Brooks walked with one hand or if possible both hands extended slapping the fans hands. You interpret body language in a whole new way.
I can't imagine the amount of pressure Brooks is playing under, it's not a team sport, it's only you. When the NY crowd began chanting for DJ while Brooks is trying make a putt to save par, the pressure of blowing a 7 shot lead, I think remaining cool, calm and collected has worked for Brooks so far, I like him just the way he is.
