Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Amazing how you can quickly drive down your handicap.

Oh I don't practice short game. I see bros out on the practice green with string, tees in the ground. Looking like some geometry lesson. Buncha dorks.

I've practicing putting before and it made no difference. It isnt my putting stroke that is the problem. Its inside of my dome. The choke will never go away.

You might be right. I'll try to find it. Great memory if you nailed it.
