I may be the devil, but i'm not a monster
That’s reason enough to do it
He’s the one going to be most affect by it which I love. He’s already been crying about how much spin he creates due to his swing speed hence he uses massively jacked lofts (personally I think it’s so he can cream all over himself).


His comments about wanting a driver he can hit anywhere on the face and if land in the fairway says enough. But he’s a bro science geek and thinks he knows better than the guys building the clubs

Big Trumper to boot.

Starting to generate some decent club head speed now with the driver. Hitting around 105mph consistently (translating to 138-140mph ball speed). Would like to get 110-115 by the end of the year and try and get 230 meter carry distance.

Slowly turning my bag TaylorMade. Have the Burner Superfast 2.0 driver and 3 wood, mg3’s 60 and 54 and now a spider. Just a 50 degree, set of irons and maybe a 5 wood or hybrid to finish the set.

Casual driving of a 375 yard hole from Rory at the last. Should mean a 1up win at least.

Did I just watch Rory McIlroy hit that drive??? That had to be the greatest televised golf shot ever hit.

Rory might be changing his mind about these distance limiting golf balls when people are hitting stuff like that more regularly.

Setting up for a Scott v Rory final, which probably means it will end up being Young v Burns.

Rory -16 today and still only just about won his two matches.

Rory vs Schauffele today was amazing. Was also glad to see Jason Day playing well again, even if he didn’t beat Scheffler.

Always fun watching match play as aggressiveness is often rewarded.

I would love to see the PGA Championship go back to a match play format.

Looking forward to today’s semis & final in the World Matchplay. Yesterday was golf porn.

Rory‘s game looks to be bubbling up nicely for the Masters in 1,5 weeks time. This years Masters could be a classic with him, Scheffler, Rahm, Woods (for the nostalgia) and the LIV lot back in the field.
Keep your eyes out for Spieth as welll, looks to be getting back near his best form. He has a bit of the Seve about him when he plays well.

Great win for Burns, after two great semi finals. Looks like Rory will get the better of Scott for 3rd.

I do love matchplay events. Obviously can’t have too many but a couple more each year would be fantastic.

I was shocked to find out that it got removed from the calendar. I think it’s a lot of fun and I love this golf course for match play as well

The ladies are playing their final round at ANGC right now. Looks like it is on NBC.

Gonna be a very wet Masters it seems.
if the weather prediction holds true, Saturday looks awful. No-one is going to want an early tee time on moving day with a high of 57. Friday could be spectacular, players gonna have to go for it and likely in the rain:keano:

Could extend into Monday.

Thankfully no frost issues.

Heading to the Masters on Tuesday and Thursday. Hoping to avoid most of the bad weather. Thunderstorms scheduled Thursday PM, hopefully it’s as late as possible in the day.
Been in the states the last week. Played Sawgrass, Harbour Town and just played Kiawah today. Probably the best course I’ve ever played. Shot 83 with an 11 (shiver) at the 16th.
