I commend the Tour and the host club for being as creative as they can within the schedule they have to work around. Golf may be one of only a few sports that will provide some means of entertainment. With the potential for a MLB strike, the closing window of an NBA return, and the return of college football not being a sure thing... pro golf might be the only itch that gets scratched for a sports fan for a while.

There's still hockey, the best sport of all, for real sports men err fans.

Nascar is trying hard to be ahead.

FauxAmish Used to watch it all the time, when Jr. and Danica were racing. Since then, not 1 time. Until the past couple weeks. Don't know what it is, but seems more entertaining without a crowd in the stands. Makes no sense.

Been watching some UFC lately, and I don’t even like that style of fighting much. Seen a couple of recent crowd free matches and a couple of replays with a 115 lb. Polish woman named Joanna Jędrzejczyk. She may be one of the toughest fighters I’ve ever seen.

Looking forward to some PGA golf though. Only problem is I’ll probably be back to working in the office by then and won’t get to watch on Thursday or Friday - don’t really like to record golf.

Woods didn't play bad today just not very sharp.

azgreg For 5 months away, I thought it was a wonder he was not +6. Brooks looked like he just started playing a few days ago, otoh. 😁

Is my head in the sand? Two weeks in a row at the same venue? WTF

The John Deere cancelled since they couldn't have fans so they went back to back here to plug the hole. First back to back in 63 years. For this week they let the rough grow a bit and speed up the greens a bit.

Spuzz

azgreg speed up the greens a bit.

I think they were under 10 last week and about 12 or so this week.
Huge difference in scores overall, plus it got windy.

ode

Spuzz saw that with some of the TW footage....scores better earlier?

johnnydoom

ode scores better earlier?

Last week I think the cut was -2. Right now it looks like -1 is tied for 20th place, so it appears that the scores were much better on the course last week.

Spuzz

ode scores better earlier?

I think the leader was at -4 with a bunch of -2's from the early wave.
Finau is the outlier as he continued his great play from the charity 9 holer (back nine) from wed. where he shot -6 I think.

Spuzz Finau was saying.innthr presser he's reached 206 ball speed. I'd love to see it with that compact swing ..... Must be so e serious supination or is pronation with the wrists!

ode Waaay back, before he was on tour, him and his brother could regularly pass 400, when they wanted. Only when he learned control did he make it to the Pros. iirc, he was on Big Break, maybe both of them.(??)

Spuzz

ode I'd love to see it with that compact swing .

His swing looks a bit longer to me now.
Maybe he's thinking less and swinging freer.
He's always had the power but he hardly ever swung more than 80% with driver. Afraid to miss the fairways.
My guess is he has somewhat re-evaluated his game (underachieving in the Win dept) and is trying something else.
He hit one on 17 (closest to the center hole) about 400 yards and less than 2 yards off center on Wed.
If his short wedges and putting are on, he will be tough to beat.
Problem is, he gets nervous on Sunday and his putting goes to shit.

ode

Par4QC yes I remember them on BB. What his bro up to?

Par4QC

ode Found this:
Tony Finau (along with his brother Gipper Finau) was on Big Break Disney Golf when he was 19 years old.

His brother was trying to make it to the PGA, but apparently turning Pro in high school has been detrimental to that happening. He was better than Tony, as I read it. Has only had a couple starts through the years on lower tours.

DJ had a rough round today.
