Is there anything more frustrating than piping a drive right down the middle of the fairway then chunking, shanking, duffing your second shot from 125 yards?

This happens to me all the time. I couldn’t drop a ball in the fairway better than some of my drives but then choke on the approach shot and end up with bogey or worse. @&$&%#!!

What’s your biggest weak spot?
As I age obviously distance but i find the inability to hit 3/4 good shots in a row.
Doesn’t matter driver, long/short iron, putter.
If i frick up my drive i’ll scramble for a bogey or make a bomb for par. On in regulation even on good side of hole - here comes a 3 putt.

Exactly! That’s when I think how difficult it must be for PGA players to do that on each hole, for 4 days straight. Must be mentally exhausting.
 
Golf ball alert. Many of your favorite brands are now running their buy 3,4, or 5 get one free promos if you want to stock up. Titleist, Vice, Wilson Staff Model, etc. Check the website of your favorite brands

Sam's Club has Vice Pro double dozens for $50.. $25/dozen for a ball that compares favorably to a ProV1, great deal. TXG has a YouTube video out comparing the Vice Pro with a ProV1 and the stats and feel are identical, FWIW.

Picked up 4 dozen.

The only thing consistent in my game is my inconsistency. If I ever hit a great drive, 90% of the time I'm following it up with a duff/top/shank.

Is this last week or for the Players?

Degens unite. This should be a good week. Season is really going now.

Masters starts in 29 days. LFG

Core: Theegala, Vegas, and Homa.

Fade: Will try fading Rahm again.

Lonhshot: Molinari.

Give me your core, fade, or long shot.

Last Sunday I went with McIlroy and Kitayama before the round started Also bet Speith to beat Homa head up so I made a little, After throwing darts at the board today I will likely wait till Sunday to wager again.

I’ve turned into a total pussy when it comes to golf betting. I did bet Spieth -110 to finish in the top 10 last week; bet placed on Sunday morning. So that was nice!

I want to like Zalatoris this week, but he hasn’t been super sharp this year. Same with Morikawa. I have zero clue who I would bet on.

I think Sat and Sun showdowns are easier to win than weeklong. I’ve been moving many of my bets there. Still will throw some lineups in the Milly Maker to avoid FOMO.

Degenerate 75 is right when he says weeklong should just be renamed "a kick in the nuts."

Backed Kitayama through most of CA swing; dumped him, wins API
Backed MW Lee through last two of CA swing; dumped him, leading Players
Backed Colin at API; dumped him when he missed the cut, leading Players

And Moirkowa, Schauffele, and Cantlay are like Syracuse in the NCAA's: bet on them and they tank; fade them and they win the entire thing.

I'm hoping the weather predicted for tomorrow afternoon is somewhat of an equalizer. But that backfires sometime if they postpone play and players come back to a soft cores and destroy it.

I thought Rory would fire out of the gates today, nope, started with a double and never got it together and looks like he is about to finish up with an ugly bogey on the par 5 to finish +4, damn

Rain delay...monsoon happening.
Morikowa is the only big name near the top altho Scheffler is lurking.
 
Finished 2nd round this am.
Svensson leads at -9
Scheffler in 2nd at -7
Morikawa tied w 3 others at -6
Lee is also at -6...he is an impressive young player.
Rory missed cut at+5.
Rahm out sick.
Scheffler has a path to take back #1.
