Tiger's OWGR record will be untouched, forever. It seems like this year scottie showed some signs of humanity after his son was born (understandably) with his US open-Olympics performances, aside from travelers which is a birdie fest. That said when the guy is on he is not even close to number 2, Xander IMO, and Xander seems to have separated himself quite a bit from number 3. Scottie is clearly the closest we've seen to tiger since his prime from a ball striking perspective, and so far Xander seems to be the only guy who can give Scottie a scare on the big stages. So the question remains, who had the better year? Are majors more important that PGA Tour events? If so then it's Xander. Or are the Players and Olympics "mini-majors"? If that the case then it's Scottie. The FedEx Cup playoffs should be sick, especially since Xander is an East Lake machine, and it just went under renovation. Golf is the best.

I've played 4 rounds so far with the Chrome Tour after usually playing the ProV1 and I gotta say i'm hooked. I'm looking for minimal spin off the tee and these help with that, but I'm able to spin the ball quite a bit in the wedges and get the ball to stop when I need to. I like a feel a little on the softer side and these feel amazing - I tried the left dash a while back, and while they sent off the tee, I didn't like that with irons if felt like hitting a rock to me. Biggest difference is the added distance. a well hit driver is going noticeably farther and irons are maybe half a club longer. highly recommend giving them a try

I broke 80 for the first time last weekend and it is was incredible. I've struggled to break into the single digit HC and have held 10-11 for a few years. I've shot 80 and 81 10+ times with a score worse than par finishing on 18 This time around, the vibes were high all day, I couldn't miss an iron shot, driver was in play all day, It was like nothing I'd ever experienced. On top of that, I had my fair share of bogeys, but the 5 birdies(!) helped steer the ship and keep the vides high. The one blow up hole I had was sandwiched between birdies - going birdie, triple, birdie, which is the same as par bogey par. On 18 tee I was +4. I hit my first bad drive and almost missed the ball on 18 tee with a thin, skulled, 5 feet off the ground ball flight was luckily carried a creek and ended up rolling like a madman into the left rough leaving me ~250 to the middle of the green (par 4). I hit a very tentative hybrid since I just needed to keep it in play and needed better than a 9 to break 80, and I left myself a straight forward 50 yard pitch onto the green. Once I hit it to 12ish feet I knew I could celebrate. I still almost 3-putted because I couldn't control my emotions, but ultimately ended up shooting +5 76 to break 80 for the first time. Now, how do I manage expectations? was that a unicorn round, or will my average score just bo closer to 80-82 since I don't have the pressure to shoot under 80 anymore? Either way, I can't stop thinking about that round, and I can't wait to tee it up again.
