fixyurdivot 18,232 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Well, they're out and playing as scheduled and should get another 3 hours in before the next possibility of weather delay. This is going to be a wild ride on tee times and inconsistent playing conditions - favoring some and penalizing others. Even better than normal time to be a consistent FIR player given the lift, clean, and place rules . 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixyurdivot 18,232 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Looking more and more like a Monday finish. Anyone know what the #17 rinsed ball count is? I'm still amazed there was only one yesterday - even with the new retention barrier. Not a single player missed landing on terra-firma... that's pretty rare. Well heck, seeing as play will be suspended until around 1600, I've decided to go brave the inclement weather here and hone my windy conditions skills.

I think they said #17 is currently playing at bogey. Horschel just rinsed one and likely to make a 5 . Fleetwood and the guys who went early and finished early look to be getting a big advantage weather-wise. Today's rounds will be particularly fun to watch and see how they make adjustments. It will be a day of "stingers" and "knock-downs" I suspect. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middler 3,785 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 It is fun to watch how they all cope with the wind. JT’s post round interview was a good insight, you have to be way more creative to deal with that much wind - and he managed a 69. I’m looking forward to seeing it finish, it’s unfortunate how cut up rounds and starting times are, but there’s no easy way to deal with weather. I’m still too stupid to understand the times… Quote Callaway Rogue 10.5° & 3W Mizuno CLK 3H 19°, JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 Evnroll ER5B Fit@TrueSpec ER2 Maxfli Tour Snell MTB-Black Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Adidas Codechaos, FJ DryJoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shapotomous 5,340 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I like to watch how they cope with the wind. There is some luck involved with how the gusts come through when the shot is in the air, but it really shows the importance of being able to control the flight of the ball. 1 Quote Modern Bag: 849 Pro 9*, Hazrdous Smoke S Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 15*, & 23* Hybrids; JPX 900 Forged 5 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Tour Action 49*, 53*, 57*; PX LZ 6.5 ; Ancient Anser or Heppler Fetch (depends on the week); Ball - MTB-Black; Bag - H2NO Shot Scope H4, MG600 Rangefinder Classic Bag: Driver - Persimmon; 3w - Speed Slot; 5w - Tour Block; 3 - pw - Dynapower; sw - Ram Tom Watson; putter - bullseye standard or flange.
