Bones sees the writing on the wall.  JT is finished.  he's just not a serious threat anymore.  hope Bones goes back to on course reporting full-time.  he's fantastic.

    Maybe no one gives a shit, but I wish someone would do some investigative reporting regarding LIV and Twitter golf accounts. I have no doubt in my mind that Flushing It is getting paid by someone to p

    I just watched the Golf Channel opening on delay and man oh man that statement by his family brought me to tears. I will just say if you are having issues and need some one to talk to please seek

yeah, hard to say that when he has a more recent major win than Scottie.

I agree with the second half of this. JT isn't washed. In his own head? Yeah. 

Most all golfers go through a lull, even Rory. It's rare to have a career where you're consistently dominant in the post-Tiger era (no one comes to mind). The competition is too great, the upcoming youth is far more skilled, and the number of swing thoughts, philosophies, etc is dizzying. So many opportunities to get punched in the mouth and then not know what to do about it and as someone more skilled than I said (paraphrasing), golf is the one sport you can practice 24/7 and get significantly worse at it.

Yeah JT needed to shake things up... also gotta believe Bones as your caddy gets old. 

Or Bones always being right was getting old.

Golf is obviously a very mental game if you let yourself go down the rabbit hole.

Sometimes, no matter how ridiculous it is, people need a change to get their head out of their ass. I think when Cheech fixes Costner on the range at the US Open in Tin Cup encapsulates the mental aspect of it really well. It’s real easy to overthink the game, your game, your life, and all the other shit at the same time. All just a tick here and there, and you don’t notice. Next thing you know your heads so full of shit you can’t find that calm and just play golf.

 

JT and Bones never gelled. Never liked what I heard in their on course convos. Always Bones talking JT into hitting something he wasn't comfortable with. JT needs a "show up, keep up, shut up" guy. Give him the yardage and let him do the rest.

This was probably the first step in realizing he needs a real coach and not his dad. 

Rory on 8 leaves birdie putt on the lip, slow walked it, and just when you think it’s set… drop.

It was a good 30-45 seconds. Good stuff 

Hole in one for Jordan…gets him to +2.

Hole in one gets him to +2, doing Jordan things on Thursday. Leader is what, 6 under

-9

Jordan doing Jordan things - low round on the course -5 thru 15, 7 birdies, 2 wallys bogeys, to be in the top 10  (for now - afternoon tee times still to go)

This Bhatia guy is not good playing with a lead. Decent back 9 to get to -1 on the day, though.

Did you see him hit the sprinkler head on the fringe? It had to happen. 

Bhatia heard me chirping. Impressive tourney from him so far. 

I’m rooting for him. It would be a pretty sweet way to punch a Masters ticket. 

Good Lord, Jordan put one on the clubhouse roof and into the rain gutter.  Falling apart on moving day.

That should be just enough for the front 9

McCarthy on a heater.... 6 birdies in-a-row

Maybe... Maybe not ???

Bitches be Bitches sometimes...  

I thought the first one in at 18 tee'd off first in playoffs now.

he slapped hands with his caddy pretty damn hard at 18, surprised NBC didn't catch that.

85 yards with your opponent in the drink. Hit away. 

My college roommate played against Phil junior golf through high school, and at night when everyone else was cutting up and trying to get people to buy them cases of beer, Phil was in his hotel room, with a legal pad, replaying every shot he had hit that day, taking notes and strategizing the the next day. Dude was on a whole other mental level.

I played a round with all the Lake Highlands golfers class of ‘90 at Royal Oaks and was in a foursome with Justin Leonard, about a month before he went to UT and he was so focused it was like he was playing alone. IIRC he shot like a 65. He was pleasant enough, but it was understood “all you chuckleheads are going to play juco golf, I’m out to win.”

Whole other level.

I admire the hell out of anyone with a focus like that. Golf or whatever. That passion that never dies, is always hungry, and lasts a lifetime. 
 

That vid of Phil rattling off all that yardage shit like he’s having a leisurely morning coffee was insane. Knowing your number base, and then calculating all that is a pretty big task. Knowing if the lie is flat or angled in whatever direction, grain of the grass, the lie itself, wind, sun, humidity, altitude, the whole lot. And if it’s an approach shot, the green also factors in with its own set of most of the above.

Then that video of Scottie calling his numbers? Fucking hell. He obviously puts in a fuck ton of work for that, but he’s just got a raw talent that makes it look simpler than it is.
