I'm a big fan of Mizuno irons. I have played MP53's and MP 57's. I favor KBS shafts.

My wife was wondering why we never saw Rory’s wife in season 2 of “Full Swing”. Perhaps this is related?
Could be a week for DeChambeau to play well. Long, soft course. Bentgrass greens (I believe all of his professional wins are on bentgrass greens).
This feels like a tougher major than normal to handicap because there are so many guys that fit the mold to win at Valhalla.
I like Byeong Hun An this week….a lot.
Keith Mitchell is a sleeper for me here too, but I’m thinking more of a top 20 or 30 bet, nothing too crazy.
I could see Brooks being in the mix.

Been looking for a new putter for months. Testing countless models at every golf shop that had a putting green. Ordered two mid-mallet putters to try out (thanks Amazon for having them both on sale and free shipping/free returns). Love the weight and the face balance of the Mizuno, plus nothing feels like a Mizuno, putters included. The Cleveland has a slight toe hang and a nice feel as well. Not as heavy and doesn't have the adjustable weight system like the Mizuno, but dang can I consistently stroke it with this thing. I was comparing them last night on my home practice surface. Need to take them out into the wild this week for further testing. Right now leaning on keeping both because you know dang well if I send one back I'll change my mind a week later.
Mizuno M Craft III

I have collected far too many putters over the years so I am in the keep them both camp. I mainly use an Oddessey Rossie putter, Older one with the white hot insert, The last couple weeks I have been using a spider tour putter that I got when they originally launched.
I love Ben An and Straka for top 10/top 20 bets
They put in a lot of new cart paths so there's grass seed and straw everywhere from what they took out and where they were working. They scalped the greens that morning (was a Friday-i assume it was for the weekend) and they looked painted. New carts. Not bad. The new clubhouse they put in last year is nice.
He’s busy getting divorced, and then signing the $800 million deal with LIV the day after the divorce is final. ;-)
The more I dig, the more guys I like for top 20/30 bets, which is terrifying.
Cam Young has never come through for me. Not once, ever. But there he is, with good total driving stats, solid/good SG approach, a good finish at Augusta, played well at Quail until a really poor Sunday…. I want to like him this week, I feel like there’s reason to like him, but can I pull the trigger on him?
Him being the modern day JB Holmes is enough for me to root against him. Love to watch him miss five footers though.
I can help you out and get you a 10% discount on your first order with a 30 day playability and free shipping. Send me a DM and we can go from there

Michael Block ... the big story from last year, tees off first in today's 1st round of PGA. He starts bogey, quadruple bogey and is +5 already.
Pretty cool story about a club pro who qualified for the PGA this year. He's my age, 61; was the top junior player in the country when we were kids, played college golf at OkieState. Had some injury problems, lost his game, and quit playing - didn't touch a club for 20 years. Started going back out with some buddies 5 or 6 years ago & rediscovered his ability...
Shot 99 at legacy yesterday. With 6 pars. The yips from uneven lies on 4, 10, and 18 led to 12 over on just those three.
And as described before... Hit a beautiful layup on #2. Only to chunk the second into the pond. Should have just driven the first one in and saved myself a stroke.
After that start, for Block to finish +5 for the day is pretty damn impressive. Good on him!
Hey, a lot of us make quads. And some even make 10 on a wide open and shorter par 5. Yesterday.
I suck.

Scheffler eagles the Par 4 first. Dude is sick right now.
It is absurd how often Scheffler holes out from the fairway. I’m trying to think of a comparable athletic feat given the difficulty it is for everyone else….hitting half court shots in basketball during the game like it’s a commonly taken shot? An NFL RB with multiple 300-yard games in a season?
Do you ever make a golf-related post that isn’t about Woods, or whining about Woods? You are worse than the fanboys of Woods.
I watch a lot of golf. Think every weekend.
I don't recall him holing out from the fairway at a more noticeable pace than anyone else.
Ope. He missed the 10' putt for the second birdie. I jinxed him.
Then you should watch more. He holes out a lot. In fact, he has a running contest with his caddy on how many he can hole out.
When you are throwing darts at the pin all the time a number of them are going to drop.
