OT: Masters…who you got?

Rose with a stellar opening round. I could see Bryson making a charge up to the lead tomorrow. Feel bad for Rory. He’s gonna have to shoot low tomorrow to get back in the hunt.

Maybe maybe not. He’s only 4 behind Scottie. Rose has had the first rd lead 4 other times…shot over par every time

looked good until last 3 holes...he only hits a cut...course favors someone that can play a draw too.

His record is very good there. And that’s also one of the biggest fallacies of all time. Tiger was almost exclusively a fader of the ball. As was Couples. As was Jack.
 
I'm in a season long one and done so I went with Rahm. He stunk. Rooting for rory to win a major, any major. I think the putt on 16 at Pinehurst crushed him beyond repair

Curious to see Bryson today with the high winds. Looking for Morikawa to put up a good score and move up with his iron play.

And why does everyone like Rory? I find him so cocky and unlikeable.

Strange take.

Cocky & unlikeable has been a tossup between Koepka and DeChambeau for several years now. I'm sure others will rise to the top. I wouldn't put Rory anywhere near the top of that group.

I could do without some of Rory's behavior, but I support him due to his stand for the PGA vs LIV. Of course, the PGA's stance later changed. Many golf stars and other athletes are cocky. It goes with the territory. And Rory has supported the Travelers's Championship multiple times.
 
Wonder if Scottie will find his putting stroke over the weekend. Missed a couple of almost gimmes.

Scottie had a couple hole blip but bounced back nicely from -4 to -6 now. I would bet on him.

Bryson gets over a million views per YouTube video he puts up. He is doing okay in the likeability department now that he can counter the media portraying him as a villian

Langer +3 and Couples +4 miss the cut. Freddy is hitting 7 and 9 woods instead of even medium irons. I mean 3 over is still a ridiculously good score on that course. No amateurs made the cut, how great are they at that age to do that?

I give those guys all the credit in the world. I am younger than both and if I played a few times a week I could still break 80 on a few of the courses I play in the West Palm area. But and a big but, from the white tees because I am a good 50 yards shorter maybe more than I was in my mid 50’s.

Also, I pretty much stink compared to even my mid 50’s. The game is so much harder when your hitting woods or 5 irons to greens you used to use 3 wood -7 iron to reach. It is way too much of a reminder of Father Time. So I gave up and pretty much stopped playing.


Once you get to 60 or slightly over things change. You wake up every morning and you thank god that you did. Then you take an inventory of what hurts. Are some the pains from the day before lingering or are they gone replaced just by the requisite stiff lower back. A 16 oz Yeti tumbler filled with coffee and a quick glance at the news and BY, then get moving, I have found that moving is a must. Get as much walking or just moving, my younger wife loves the older me, laundry ( and we have 10 yr old and 16 yr old boys….so laundry is kind of like a box of chocolates and thats all I have to say about that…….dishes and vacuuming are now aerobic exercise for me. The payback, she lets me play poker a few nights a week and a good ten hour session on Saturday.

I am not in horrible shape in fact was in fairly good shape into my late 50’s but 60 to me is when I felt it. I cannot imagine how good these guys are to be able to go out there play a 7,000 yd track in their mid to late 60’s just amazing in my mind. And they both could have played the weekend physically (Langer probably more so than Couples).

They walk around. And hit a golf ball. And don’t carry their own clubs. This is not an Iron Man Triathlon.

Pickleball and Paddleball many years ago, were invented for people, and there are millions of them, who never had the lightbulb go on in their heads, no matter how much they played, about the proper way to hold a tennis racquet, serve a tennis ball, and just basically control the racquet face. Tennis is still king and always will be, and pickleball will grow but I see it eventually going the way that Paddleball and Paddleball courts did back in the 1980’s. Tennis and Golf are very similar in that hitting with power AND accuracy are so dependent on controlling the club face or racquet face.

Good post. I’ll provide a bit of unsolicited advice…since it’s the BY and telling folks what to do and think is part of the charm here.

GET A REAL EXERCISE PROGRAM—-and look at your diet. How much processed crap are you eating? No reason you can’t feel much better! Doing laundry is not exercise

I follow Dr Peter Attia and Dr Rhonda Patrick online. They have wonderful info on their YT and podcasts about living better longer. It’s not just about lifespan…it’s about healthspan!

You have young kids..put in the work. Watch Attia talk about the centenarian decathlon!!!

You need to work out more as you get older..not less. You can’t stop Father Time but you can slow him down

Rooting for Bryson DeChambeau even though ESPN wouldn't cover him. That was a despicable affront.
Had to wait for Amen Corner coverage to see him for three holes. It's the same lack of respect that the announcers showed him when he was up and coming. They would mock his scientific, consistent and analytical approach as that of a "mad scientist". Few have the discipline and mental intellect to play golf this way. Few would want to but that's his thing.
