From CNN.com Dirty problem Phil Mickelson returned Saturday morning to resume the rain-delayed second round when he noticed the hole on the sixth green was not in the same spot as it was when he left the course the night before. The new hole was about 3 feet away, and there was a good...

So I hear and see all the fuss about the bunkers at Jacks place. I at first agree that the special rakes could leave unlucky shots. ...then I thought to myself.. 1. The pro's have a caddy carry their clubs while they whistle along. We have to pull or carry wearing ourselves out. 2. They get...

In case you didn't hear, Bubba couldn't play because he left his clubs with his caddy, who didn't show up on time.

OMG... hits a par 5 in 2 and 5 putts for a 7 on 11!?!?!??! Not sure whether to feel sorry for him or not...

Tiger woods has been the number one golfer in the world for 393 weeks in total... The other players who have had official World Number 1 status in the 20 year history of the Ranking are BERNHARD LANGER (3 weeks), SEVE BALLESTEROS (61 weeks), GREG NORMAN (331 weeks), NICK FALDO (97 weeks), IAN...

Interesting article about Phil and Tiger crossing paths at Winged Foot. http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060528/SPORTS01/605280346/1108

Okay, it's less then a month away, let's get some predictions... Will Tiger win on Father's Day? Will Vijay finally get a win this season? Will Mickelson take a huge step to the 'slam? Will one of the rookies come out of nowhere to win? Will an Aussie or South African take it? Let's...

Greetings .... What is this Fed Ex Cup Series that starts in 2007 you ask .... ?? Only the very latest "season-ending" series concept to be rolled out by the PGA Tour. They've been at this sort of thing for several decades now. Here's a rundown .... 1974-1975: Players Championship The...

Talk about 'live by the sword, die by the sword'!!!!! Bubba Watson, after shooting a great 65 yesterday, Bubba Watson is 7 over after 15 holes!! Go Weir!

http://www.calgarysun.com/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=138983&x=articles&s=backswing found this posted on TGN....what a day!

"Michelle Wie finally makes a cut against the boys and it's half-a-world away, against a no-name field on a Podunk tour. Tough break for her two regular stops on the PGA Tour." Can someone tell me what Podunk is? I know what he's trying to say (Alan Shypnuk from SI), but I don't get it.

Similar to alot of pga events lately where you can watch live footage, the womens lpga is doing so at the michelob. Thought some might like it. I watched the island hole at tpc and masters amen corner. Hmm? Watch lumpy or christie kerr? Hmm? http://www.michelobultraopen.com/webcast.html

Greetings .... For those of you not yet aware - The PGA Tour exemption category regarding members on the most recent Ryder Cup (USA and Europe) and Presidents Cup (USA and International) teams is being phased out. Here's the article by Doug Ferguson. I noted this quote from Jim Furyk --...

I was surprised to see that nobody has mentioned this yet. Moe Norman is to be inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. I must admit that as someone of a younger generation I do not know much about the man, but from the few interviews I have seen, the guy seemed like a great character, and...

12 strokes from the winner after a final round 74.

Saw this on TGN. Apparently she made the cut. I personally applaud her efforts to keep working her way down the food chain in an effort to find a mens event she could make the cut at. If this had failed she would have been at the OG opening for her next try. Cheers Wiesy! I play to win and you...

What the hell happened to JB Holmes today?!?!?!?!

Looks like he's making the media tour for his book. Should be good.

This is too bad! :( http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2431912 Gropper

Anyone read the golf channel excerpts of john daly's upcoming book. I repeat my comments on previous threads. The guy in my opinion doesn't deserve pity. He has now added gambling, to alcoholic, violent outbursts, walking off courses mid round. Anyone who continues to say he doesn't have a...

Talk about GROSS National Product. $50-$60 Million!!! :confused Here's a few of the many columns that are sure to follow... http://www.rte.ie/sport/2006/0502/dalyj.html http://www.latimes.com/sports/golf/la-sp-daly2may02,1,4510484.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-golf...

Looks like Duval is hot today, three straight birdies to start the round. GO DAVID!!!:thumbsup

Currently we have a set # of Majors; I seriously think that either Jack or Tiger will start something like Augusta; not so much Jack but when Tiger finally quits he'll have to start his own Major. :-)

Big day for Callaway today. Releasing bad news to shareholders. Anyone invested?

With the field not being very deep this week, can Phil bring home third straight victory?

Very understandable: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2414980

He's halfway there folks. Mick has two trophies on his mantle and needs two more to win the 'Tiger Slam'. But if he does, they'll have to find a new name for it.

Wow, make sure you check it out, JB Holmes is 5 under after 6 holes... Even the 'smaller' tournaments are great, I love the PGA!

Did anyone else see the item about Tiger on CNN? It would appear that his use of the term 'spaz' to characterize his putting on the last day of the Masters has people upset at him because it is also a term used to describe the involuntary movements of people with MS (I believe they said MS but it...

has to be that couples is 9th in tour driving and tiger is 16th. THe difference is only 2.1 yards but its still pretty shocking. Anyway else shocked by anything this season so far other than how good JB holmes and Cmailo are?

Holy Crap! What a leaderboard. Sooooooo many guys within 4 of the lead that anything can happen. I will be glued to the TV all afternoon. In glorious HD too BTW.:-)

The way he's playing, he's gotta be the favourite for the Masters. He's so 'on' right now, don't think there's any way he'll lose next weekend. Can't believe he's using two drivers (one for draw, one for fade). He's planning on doing the same thing next weekend. Can't argue with the results. ...

Watch Bimatrix sales go way up in the next few weeks as Tiger has switched to Bimatrix http://www.golfdiscussions.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=7069.html

What a great round of golf Phil played today. He was in total control of his game and emotions. The one thing I really enjoyed about watching the final round of The Masters? Phil and Freddy giving each other the fist taps after their birdies on 13. Phil and Freddy walking from the 16th tee to...

I know this has been covered before, but I just picked up my new LCD yesterday, and got the HD service today for the final round, and all I can say is WOW. If you have an opportunity to watch it in HD, do it. absolutely amazing pictures from the course.

It may be a bit premature but Weirsie looked pretty solid -1 today. Any thoughts on the outcome of the event????:-)

Did anyone catch the end of The Masters telecast today? Jim Nantz was talking about Freddy's caddy, Joe, wearing the #86 on his white coveralls. Freddy is 46. Same age Jack was when he won his last Masters. In 1986. Dejavu for Freddy? :) Wouldn't it be something if Freddy did win this years...

It's actually #4 With 13 holes being lenghtened in the last 5 years at Augusta, there's an article making it's way online and it's talking about #3 at Augusta being one of the holes players are shaking there heads at. A par 3 measuring get this about 245yds. The pros are using hybrids and 3 woods...

Anyone know where I can listen to Masters coverage online?

I believe the first round leader hasn't won the Masters since the early 80's. Rocco better hope someone shoots a 67. Awesome leaderboard so far though. This is going to be a great weekend!

Predictions? No one has won the Master out of the top 10 players in the world for quite some time. Will it be a new face this year? Can Tiger do it again? Who is your favourite “no major winner” player for this week? Mike

He flat out said that they should have stopped the technological advanements with balls in the 90's when the first ball came out that was much longer than the rest. There was talk about the masters using a different ball to limmit the distance but that was before they lengthened the course to 7400+...

I'm not attempting to discount the value of Phil Mickelson's performance this week. He's had one of the finest performances that I have ever seen. My question is, with the amount of coaching and training resources available, and with the technology and laser precise equipment fitting available to...
