Did he withdraw because he’s a **** douchebag?

He still needed to make up 2 strokes in 3 holes so yes he did need to take an aggressive line16 was painful, especially because after 15 it seemed like things were gonna get interesting. He said he hit a good shot and the wind just took it, but man, do you really need to be taking that aggressive of a line there? The majority of aces there are landed towards the middle of the green and filter down.Tough to watch the last few holes from Xander. Woof
Crazy that Zalatoris only lost by a single stroke.
Wayne Player, the son of South African golfing legend Gary Player, has reportedly been banned from The Masters following a suspected publicity stunt during the competition’s opening ceremony last week.
The 58-year-old came under scrutiny for an assumed marketing ploy while American golf icon Lee Elder was being honoured at Augusta National on Thursday morning.
Yeah that was an absurdly crass thing to do.good
this. thankful for the second tweet because i had no idea what i was looking forI wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't looking for something.
Got this back today. It looks brand new, pretty crazy. It's not just clean, the finish on the head is fully restored to its original luster. It's beautiful.Hah, I took my 21 year old 4-iron to Dicks to have it repaired, I must've whacked it against a tree or something and it was bent about three inches above the club head.
Turns out they don't have the correct kind of shaft in their system so they're sending it to Ping in Arizona to have it repaired and Ping is going to send it back directly to my house. Kind of a backdoor warranty repair from the turn of the century since I'm still only paying the Dicks repair cost.
It's not allowed in competition but for a friendly, casual round, stand behind your ball and lay a club down next to your ball pointing at your target. Then use the shaft of that club lying on the ground as an alignment tool. Do it enough times and you'll learn the muscle memory. When you're at the range, do the same thing. If you ever see pros on the range, you'll often see them laying shafts down around the ball and/or their feet and those help their alignment.I am just completely baffled right now on how far forward in my stance I want the ball to be. There is also something where I am aimed almost a foot to the right of where I think I am aimed, and whenever I try to correct that, I overcorrect.
Sadly, that was actually in reference to my putting stance.

For putts within 15 feet, i purposefully line the ball up off my big to on my left foot and dont even try to align my right foot at all. I figured the best way to eliminate my alignment problems on short putts was to not even both with alignment at all. So i just make sure my left foot is lined up with the hole and ignore my right. It probably messes with my stroke, but i like it. Then again I’m awful at putting, but it wasn’t always that way.

This is very helpful. This is what I needed, and didn't know it, a method for self-diagnosing.Does your putter have a line on the top of the blade over the middle? If so, use the label on the equator of the ball as your ‘arrow’. Find your line of the putt, line the ball’s label up with that line you want to take, and then square up the line on the putter blade so it forms a 90 degree angle with the line on the ball. Rock your shoulders and release. Then if it really goes offline, you can see your fault is technique or stroke and not aim. That is, unless you have problems reading greens.
85 with 43 putts means you're doing really well with GIR, I'd venture to guess.Actually starting to feel the weight of having a wretched short game. I think when you are still working on ball striking and figuring all those things out, the weaknesses in the short game feel less relevant. I've been keeping close track of the strokes i make on each hole the past number of rounds, and today I shot an 85 at rolling green and had 43 putts.
Lesson of course being that you can't really play for score until you figure out putting.
10 GIR, that's reaching one par 5 in 2 and driving the green on a par 4 (then putting 5 times for birdie / par)85 with 43 putts means you're doing really well with GIR, I'd venture to guess.Actually starting to feel the weight of having a wretched short game.

Putting and chipping are always the last phases of my game to round into shape each season. For me, those are so much more feel related than a normal swing mechanic. They also require the most adjustment round to round depending on the green conditions (on and around).
