Shankster 25,746 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm not a big fan of the kid but he's finished leading as many rounds at Augusta as Tiger has. Come on now. Tiger has done some embarrassing crap with the best of em.. Edit: no secret that Rors is my fave of the younger bunch but even he has embarrassed himself. People were talking about "McIlroying it" when refering to blowing it after 2011. Sorry man. You tee'd that one up for me. And I took the drop. And yes, I'm not sure Tiger knows what fairways look like some rounds. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shankster 25,746 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Also, the “Patrons†really screwed El Tigre up on what 11? That ball was tracking toward the green but that dude basically stepped on his ball and stopped it dead in his tracks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ThatKyle 188 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Watching the "Masters on the Range" stream really opened my eye to the number of players who use various training devices and tools - and there are some weird ones out there. It seems like the common belief is that a lot of those things are gimmicky but hell, if these guys are using them they must do something, right? Even if it just improves the mental game? 3 Lefty in the Mitten State currently carrying: TM '17 M2 9.5 w/ Fujikura Pro XLR8 · Exotics EX10 15° w/ GD Tour AD Stiff · F7 HY @ 20° · Forged Tec Black 5i-AW w/ Project X LZ 6.0 · MD2 56°+ 60° · Method B2-01 · Kirkland Signature · Clicgear 2.0 · Course photo albums: Boyne Highlands + Bay Harbor (Michigan) | Wailea Gold & Emerald (Maui) | Forest Dunes (Michigan) Link to post Share on other sites
revkev 22,645 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm sure you all know more about the game and the hole than me but after the second didn't stick, wouldn't it be time to try something different? Maybe stick it in the bunker so it doesn't run off the green again? I'm not sure how tight things are with patrons and so forth, but there's got to be someplace to land that where you don't have anywhere near the risk of it backing up off the green. I'm legitimately asking the question, why? Even too touring pros crack. While mental toughness is hard to define I doubt many would put Sergio at the top of that list. After two he's thinking, “screw itâ€. Hogan, Nicklaus, Woods are thinking, if I can somehow make 8 I can get in at 75, shoot 67 tomorrow and be right back in this.

You have to drop on the opp side of the hazard from the green. Now a red he could've dropped on the other side where it entered. (If he could get the ball to keep from rolling back into the water and rest stationary). https://www.usga.org/RulesFAQ/rules_answer.asp?FAQidx=106&Rule=26 1 Driver- Tmag 2017 M2 tour issue 8.5* actual loft 7.8* w/ Diamana Ahina 80X 44" Fairway Metal- Tour Edge Exotics XCG7 Beta 3W 13* w/ Matrix 7m4 X 42.5" Utility- Mizuno MPH5 1 iron w/ Aldila RIP 85X (depending on course/ conditions) Irons- Mizuno MP-18 FLI HI 3i and 4i w/ KBS C-taper lite X Mizuno MP59 5i and 6I w/ PX 6.5 Mizuno MP69 7i-PW w/ PX 6.5 Wedges- Scratch 8620 Driver/Slider set. 50*, 56* bent to 55* w/ rifle spinner shafts and Titleist Vokey 60* M grind Putter- Never Compromise Dinero Mogul Ball- Bridgestone Tour B XS Bag- Ogio Aquatech Cart Bag Link to post Share on other sites
