Golf Thread 2.0 - Zach Johnson hates you and your family

I’ve only been to a practice round but I got to follow Couples, Woods, and Parziale play together so my opinion is skewed.

 

My opinion is that practice rounds are very enjoyable, if you've already been to a real high stakes event. Otherwise it feels anticlimactic. But once you've gone to one, it's great to have a more casual experience

 

I’ve got an idea for a golf logo. Anyway know the process to see if there’s something similar out there and trademark process?

 

Mail a picture of it to yourself and don’t open it

 

what does it matter, just make it two words. That's how I started Calla Way Golf

^ my fridge when I had friends over in 3rd grade

 

Love this board

 

Have a day JT

 

my god

 

not a single player in the red today yikes

 

wat

 

I agree with this. My best pro tournament memory was being at the Nelson when Tiger won. Second was watching the practice rounds at the 2001 US Open, and I was there every day, including the playoff. Third was holding the Quiet Please sign at an LPGA event. I’ll take practice nearly every time moving forward at normal stops, because it’s so chill and educational. I’d take any day at The Masters though

 

Must've misread a tweet or something

 

cut was at even so I bet that was it, just thrown in the timeline.

 

Gaknight can I please get an update on the leaderboard

 

Cashmere Keith with an absurd finish with the conditions today

 

This would be me if I ever holed out for Eagle

 

Not great. Most of the few good guys missed the cut and then JT blew up. Maybe it’s Cam young season

 

Might buy a cottage with a few friends. Seems like it’s going to be awesome.

 

We were all about that too. Then the alcohol wore off. They had 2 2 bedrooms left. 1.9 million not decorated.

 

one of us

 

Practice rounds are fun, but nothing beats seeing Sergio make a 10 at Merion.

 

let’s go peppy peter

 

Was hoping we would get a discount through our club to play Citrus Farms but not looking good. They have taken a lot of our staff so I think our club is in a battle with them so not getting any deal in the near future.

 

malnati winning is cool.

cam young being so young with 7 2nd places is nuts.

 

Seeing a yellow ball at Augusta will be interesting

 

I know they're really competitive, but I wish I had to worry about a 4 hour drive after stacking a million bucks,

 

wow this is bubba volvik erasure

 

He might not play it. Broadcast mentioned that the only reason he plays a yellow ball is because his son liked them and asked him to.

 

This is also Fred couples erasure

 

I need someone to play a Truvis ball.

 

The best version of Cam Young and Zalatoris last year and we smoke the Euros in the Ryder Cup.

They still lose, but selecting JT over Cam Young was inexcusable

 

Had Malnati about 5yrs ago at Valspar Pro Am & dude was awesome. Had us come out Tuesday night before and spent 45 mins on the putting green giving us all the drills he uses & his mental approach to it. Was humble & recognized he’d probably never be a top 25 in the world, but always believed he could win. Was a neat guy to be around.

 

His post round interview made the wife cry.

 

Any putting tips you’d like to share with the board? Or with a guy who struggles with 3-4 footers.

 

I was texting with my group during it because it was so real & awesome to watch. Love seeing the guys that grind their asses off get one

 

Wow talk about going above and beyond

 

The thing he stresses more than anything after repetition was & I quote “always have positive energy. Believe you will make the stroke & trust your line.”

 

Keep it inside the hole and hammer it.

 

Ah so the, “Can’t wait to miss this one,” isn’t a great line after my lag putt.

 

Did this at pinehurst No. 2 last weekend and turned a birdie chance into a sand save opportunity.

 

Time and a place, my boy.

 

Most fun I ever had on greens was at #2. You learn quickly to listen to you caddy or pay greatly.
Caddy: “2ft right”
ZZ: “that’s just stupid, I’ve got my line”
Caddy after I missed hard left: “will we be doing this every hole or would you like to make a putt?”

 

For me it's, just don't fuck this up too much that you can't make the next one. (Even when it's not that far away)

 

Introspective moment here... mentally, I'd rather have 18 feet for birdie than 6. That "make expectation" weighs heavy.
