2012 PGA and other Golf Season thread

[Snoogans]

i figure instead of having 10 different threads for each big thing that get 10 posts each, would could just use this one for all the majors and etc golf talk this season.

Anyone who cares, Tiger is teeing off at 10:40 pm (about 35 min from now) for the first round of the HSBC champ in Abu Dhabi. HJis first tourney of the year and first since he won in australia or whatever. apparently abu dhabi gave like 20 guys appearance fees so rory is there, i think playing with tiger.

Its gonna be on Golf Channel Live when he tees off at 1040.

[FatassTitePants]

Thank God you capitalized PGA. That lowercase title really bugged the shit out of me last year.
That being said, I am in the middle of PA in the middle of winter. I refuse to think about golf.

[deliciousV]

Well, I'm watching. But watching the Euro tour is like eating Ambian, minus the fun sleep fucking.

[Snoogans]

yea the announcers are pretty brutal. its weird too cause brits usually get really excited. i dont know why these jerkoffs are so quiet.

It came out that way, used caps when made.

[CountryBob]

I will be checking in on this thread all year. I would like to see Tiger get his mojo back - it creates a cool tension in the golf world.

[Snoogans]

TW tied for first after 3 rounds at -11 with some dude i never heard of. Everyone else at least 2 back.

I find it remarkable that he shot a -6 66 yesterday and still putted fuckin 30 times.

[hanso]

You could say Tiger got Rocked a gee gee gee. He made 2M$ just to step on that course last week in towlehead land. Could have played in his own back yard in our tourny.

[Snoogans]

I have a feeling Levine is gonna blow this. He was up 6 to start the round but i think he is only up 2 right now with 4 left

[Snoogans]

on cue he just hit his tee shot into a bush in teh desert

[hanso]

Crunch time just 1 stroke off.


Kyle Stanley south park is going to take it.

[Snoogans]

i hope stanley ends up winning after the shit last week. it would be nice for him. and levine has dropped such a big lead i dont see how he can turn this around

Bill Murray has on a gopher hunting outfit for Pebble Beach today.

[CountryBob]

Wow - who saw Mickelson coming to the top on Sunday?

Lefty went lights out (64) last round to take Pebble Beach title.



Hey CB check your NBA team there are a few players out & there is no IR.

Look at al horford and andre kerlinko on your team think they are out.

It's a 4 way playoff right now. Go Kyfur USA! USA!

[CountryBob]

Els choked out a win yesterday - kinda felt bad for him as a win would have qualified him for the Masters this year...

Nice job on the T-times PGA, any player that anybody might want to watch finished their round before TV coverage started.

my handicap would be at least 2 shots better if i got to play on courses with retaining fences along the OB line. What the fuck is that shit?

on the courses down here I'd need something akin to the green monster bordering these fairways. If you go out of bounds down here the houses are so close you're likely to find yourself in the middle of some ladies tupperware party, I bought 2 bowl sets and one of those shape toys last year just to get my ball back. This year I'm thinking cereal container.

they aint that much wider in Jersey. Prob the same actually, cause of our lack of space to allow the courses to spread. Greens are really small here compared to what i see most places too

[hanso]

Tiger is on top, is anyone watching this? Arnie Inv.



Your guy Els making charge now CB.

[disneyspy]

no but this thread title is ignit,yo

im hoping that Tiger wins this week - get this shit behind us and create great s\tension for the Masters!

It could happen he looks strong to me. However some would say it would be a hollow victory, as most of the top players crapped on ole Arnie skipping this event.

It would still be a real win, first one in 2 1/2 years.

check the ratings for the tournaments Tiger doesn't play, check the golf course revenues from before there was a Tiger.

remember back when tennis had Agassi and Sampras, ratings were high and courts were full, nobody cares anymore.

[Snoogans]

absolutely. he looks like he is gettin it back too. I think he wins the Masters. even when he was playin awful he would still be top 5 in that shit. I just feel like he is gonna do it

Some jack wad yells "get in the hole!" on everyone of Tiger's tee shots, but he had ben spaying it all over on the back 9.

hate those fuckers, one at every tournament. 530 yd par 5 and he's yelling "get in the hole" from the T-box. Caddies should be encouraged to thrash them.

[cougarjake13]

They suld have rules against it and u get thrown out if u do it

[Snoogans]

so we are gonna kick out fans for gettin into it now? I know its annoying but they paid their money, they wait til he hits, they are allowed to cheer. I dont have a problem with it

it's not that they cheer, it's what they cheer. "Get in the hole" from the Tee on anything but a par 3 should be punishable by death, that's all I'm saying.

[hexy68]

F***ing A Tiger!!..Keep it going!!

ha, ok

[hanso]

One guy made some weird bird yell for Els tee shot. That might have been when he hit it in the water.

[BoondockSaint]

I like to yell, " It is high! It is far! It is ..... GONE!!!!!! No, wait, Water caught it at the wall. And the side is retired 1-2-3 as we head to the fifth."

[King Imp]

I don't watch a lot of golf, but the "Get in the hole!" does get annoying after a while.

The most original I have heard was at last year's Masters when Jhonathan Vegas was teeing off. Some of the guys in the crowd were yelling "Be good Johnny! Johnny be good!"

[A.J.]

it's not that they cheer, it's what they cheer. "Get in the hole" from the Tee on anything but a par 3 should be punishable by death, that's all I'm saying.

you clearly didnt read this. They are private, they dont HAVE to do anything. Traditionally, they would give a membership to the CEO of IBM. There is nothing saying they have to.

For once, i would like you to actually be factual when you make statements

[King Imp]

Nevermind the whole women at Augusta stuff.

What I always wondered is what they (the uptight Augusta people) think about the Par 3 contest on Wednesday when the golfers let their kids run wild on their pristine course.
I could see them having a stroke watching these little kids playing in the traps like it's a sand box and throwing shit all over.

ok 2 things here. One, its a different course. the par 3 is on the Par 3 course which is 9 holes and on the same grounds, but its not hte course they play the masters on.

And 2, and ill type this big so it sinks in. WOMEN AND CHILDREN PLAY AT AUGUSTA ALL THE TIME.

they have no official female members, but they dont keep women out. they are there all the time as guests of members. Its not like they are anti women. They just arent members

They didn't have to let in blacks but they did in the early 90's

I never said they had to I was eluding to since Rometty is the 1st Female CEO and that IBM is a major factor there could be pressure on Augusta to allow her as a member. Erin Burnett had a segment on this last night and if this gets picked up more there could be a movement for Augusta to cave in.

I need to clarify more.

Regardless of my opinion of what Augusta should or shouldn't do is moot.


However if there are all these organizations like NOW leading a push for admittance as a member and I emphasize the word If, If This does go viral and if Obama is asked about this, they might say fuck it we don't need the bad press and allow Rometty to be a member.


Like I said IBM could pull their sponsorship and Augusta could lose money over this

ok, do you know how much money they fuckin have? The only members who arent worth at least 100 mill are the honorary members who won the masters, and most of them are worth 100 mill too.

Also, lets take a trip back through history to about 10 years ago or so, maybe a bit less.

NOW, ironically, threatened to boycott all the sponsors of the masters if augusta didnt let in a female member. Do you remember what happened? I do

The Masters said ok, fuck you. Then pulled all commercials and ran the entire masters commercial free just to show they dont give a fuck and wont do anything based on what other people tell them. NOW backed off and they have been fine ever since. Why do you think NOW hasnt said shit to them in the last 10 years?

I think that Augusta and The Masters are in that League of tradition where such a move would cause a backlash on IBM, it would be unpopular , they are smart enough to know that.

yea the best. Also, it did kinda change the way they run it. If you notice, ever since they have always championed how they only have 3 min of commercials every hour. Before that year, they had alot more. people love it so much they decided to triple the rate for a commercial and cut the amount to a third. Its one of my favorite sporting events every year and one of the reasons its so awesome is because they dont give a fuck what anyone thinks

I know Augusta is very presitgious and you need to be extremely wealthy. I was not aware of what happened with the masters in regards to them pulling the commercials, I really dont follow golf, but good for Augusta for telling the sponsors to fuck off.


Rommetty just took over at the beginning of they year she might not want to be involved in something like this so early into her tenure. As a CEO her main focus should be on the company's profits and to her board and shareholders and employees

Weird. I would have bet cash money that you hate blasians even more.

[spoon]

had some thoughts on the majors and the effect Woods, even playing like shit, average or even just under the top 5, this HAS to take a huge amount of pressure off young and new leaders in huge tournaments...tack onto this the Mickelson effect not being that far off and I have to think it helped allow so many first time major winners, many young or no names for some time to step up and sneak in with much less pressure than they normally would have on them.

[King Imp]

I've never actually played the game (except on my console), so I have no clue how the physics work.

How exactly do they get a shot to curve one way or another? I would think that as long as you are hitting the ball, it would just go straight off the club, so I don't understand what the golfers are doing to add draw or fade to the shot.

its pretty much the same way you make any ball curve. You hit it with the club head slightly open or closed (and a certain position) and it puts a left or right spin on the ball which makes it move to whichever side you are going for

[NickyL0885]

I play and I whenever I putt, I just hit it straight. I am always amazed at how well these guys can read greens. Rory putted one yesterday that curved HUGE and he nailed it. I know they study this stuff all the time, but it's still cool to see.

[Jayw]

Even with woods starting to fall behind. The top of the leaderboard has some of my favorite players in it right now. Hopefully mickelson will collapse and woods can turn it on for this back 9 today.

Not even put-put?
Fade is a cut across action where draw is a timing deal with hands.

Can't believe how I'm not hearing a name that rhymes with liger in media, it's very refreshing.

im rooting for 2 people. sentimentally, im rooting for Freddy Couples. I know he prob doesnt have a shot to stay up there but shit, Tom Watson almost won the british a few years ago at 60 something. So i hope Freddy pulls it off in his sneakers.

As a fan, im rooting for miguel angel jimenez. I always liked him from the first time i saw him smoking on the course and drinking wine in post match interviews. Plus he is a pretty damn good player. I wish he played more in the US

[Snoogans]

plus, you gotta love a guy who can do this at the British Open like it aint shit:

Freddy love the masters too, always plays quite well there so I think he does have an actual shot with the younger guys all playing so tight/iffy right now. The weather is fine, the course crisp so if ever there was a shot here, it's now. 2 days left, go freddy.

what a genius he is. dont take a drop. lets just try to hit it right handed out of a bush. What a fuckin dope this guy is

[Jayw]

Bubba was the one I was glad to see near the top on day one.

Lets see if he can somehow finish this African dude off...

[cougarjake13]

Still goin

Could be a long night

[Furtherman]

What a great ending! I'm rarely engaged in golf, but that was an awesome sudden death

[cougarjake13]

Or maybe not

[Snoogans]

that shot by bubba out of the pine straw was one of the biggest, best shots ive ever seen. Good on him to win, he seems like a pretty good guy.

[cougarjake13]

Yeh I was thinking he had the worse tee shot but he made up for it

Hey, look at who's leading the HP Byron Nelson Championship

Dicky Pride (http://espn.go.com/golf/player/_/id/360/dicky-pride)! Best sports name since Dick Trickle.

If a man can't take pride in his dick, what's left?

The Memorial looks worth checking out, saw big names on the board and the paper shows Sabbatini > Woods.

Ive watched since 12 today and Im now going to the golf store to get a new driver - got the bug last week hitting a demo Ping I20. Now Im gonna get one.

the guy is what, 35? he has like 60 more chances before he is even old enough to play senior tour. So yea, id say he is gonna win one. At some point, one will be on a course that he absolutely owns, like Pebble or something.

Will he win 4 more, i still need to see more from him before i think that. I think shit is in his head now

It's crazy that Jack called his flop shot such a huge shot, and I do like how he embraces the guy once thought to EASILY pass him with majors and best all-time (arguably) even now. He genuinely loves the thought of being passed and it's nice to see from a past great, yet that shot was plenty nice and all, it was hardly as big a shot as Jack made it out to be. He just wants to hype his tournament and his boy.

It is funny I want Tiger to fail BECAUSE I am a huge Nicklaus fan, yet he would not! Funny shit, but nice win from Tiger for once to earn the COUNTLESS coverage he gets every time he scratches his ass.

pro's make random shots like that all the time, but I think this one was big in that it was so clutch. Tiger may be completely unpredictable these days, no consitancy at all, but in the past he was clutch, I think it's big because it is a flash back, and possibly evidence that Tiger might really be on the way back.

thats why if you go and listen to what Jack actually said, he is right. he said Under the circumstance, it was the best shot he has seen.

He clarified the circumstance to mean with how tiger used to be, and how tough the last couple years are, then how tough the last couple tourneys were, for him to bounce back and drill that when he absolutely had to was incredible.

I dont think jack thinks it was actually the best shot ever. Fuck, Louis Oousthazen double eagle at augusta was wayyyy fuckin better

[hanso]

That's Jacks golf course/torny so it plays into why he would say that. It is a pat on his own back as well.



Or he's a delusional old man who doesn't feel some of the biggest names in golf could bring his rain soaked creation to it's knees.

[spoon]

to me there is simply zero circumstance involved where that shot qualifies for the best shot ever

[CountryBob]

agree - it was a clutch pressure great shot but not greatest ever.

[hanso]

For those that like to see Tiger fall on ass put the US open on now ESPN

He was -2 in the lead when I got home now he is +1.

Some young amateur has the lead. Francis Ouimet?

[oxydendrum]

obligatory stfu Berman.

[hanso]

I hardly ever hear from him anymore.

[cougarjake13]

Tigers back to -1 and in second

[cougarjake13]

I'm tired of these assholes yelling get in the hole on every shot tiger takes

Seriously he ain't hitting a 350 yd hole in one u assclowns

[hanso]

Tigers back to -1 and in second

Yeah it just so happened right when I tuned in, went 3 bogeys in a row. He stopped useing the stinger 2 and turned it around.

[spoon]

For f's sake people are star fuckers. Man do they just kiss Tiger's ass, and act like a bad shot is great while staring at it.

The "get in the hole" assholes should be shot. Seriously, could you just SHUT THE FUCK UP! Par 4's and 5's and you're yelling this...:wallbash:

Unless it's a REAL short 4 it's all but impossible, and sill pretty much is.

[spoon]

nice start for tigger

[spoon]

Alright, time to focus on the guys with a fucking shot to win this thing fucking NBC!

"You aint seen nothing yet"? Really? Bc I just see a bunch of hype being shoved down my throat.

Let's go Ky-fur! (Jim Furyk) USA! USA!

ooof

Els can't hit a fairway or putt but is still in the thick of this thing, wtf!?

he's battling like crazy, and it's impressive

Els for Eagle!

i did, and wow to do that at 17 is NUTS...especially since he has the build of harry elvis


and tiger played pretty much as I expected, he's done and NOT the favorite for a reason no matter how hard NBC and ESPN tried to sell it for weeks

[spoon]

another thing, didn't Furyk win his only other major, also a US Open, at another course with Olympic/Olympus or something in the title? Seems odd.

golf will be in the olympics in 2016. We better fuckin get Furyk on the team

Tied for 21st.

he REALLY shit the bed. I dont even think it was nerves cause the guy has won a US Open before. Maybe he just ran out of gas? Whatever it was it was bad

had to be nerves and being he's 42 I doubt he'll have many more shots at this

its not even 4am on thursday and john daly has already made 3 bogeys in the british open

[spoon]

Woods looked like a hacker on that hole, but just answered with a hole out to get BACK to 5 back of Scott and 3 of McDowell.

I have to chime in that I completely agree the belly putters HAVE TO GO. It's not the same and looks fucking pathetic too. Golf, not this bs that some do now on the green. What's next, that thing from caddy shack and beyond?

http://cdn.epicski.com/7/76/76e7856d_caddyshack-rodney.jpeg

[spoon]

oh wow, ball just moved on Scott during practice swings

oh no

[spoon]

ball just moved, then rolled a full couple rotations and into a better position


looks like he will not be charged a stroke

now comes the gay fucking chest/belly putter

[Snoogans]

these guys are all fuckin chokin. its hilarious

[spoon]

why are people such idiots on the course?

why not just keep this up so you have less access bc they literally run up on balls still moving in a big way and are completely ridiculous

tiger fuckers, whether he's still involved or not

[spoon]

Els o l

:lol:

[spoon]

Woods making the only push at Scott now it seems, and he's STILL back 4. That 7 fucking CRUSHED him.

[spoon]

well that died quick

[spoon]

try actually putting

[spoon]

Els get to only 3 down and then he too then hits a shitty tee shot as Scott misses birdie putt after birdie putt. He's happy to sit at -9 if NOBODY is going to put pressure on his gay putting ass.

[Snoogans]

these guys all suck anytime they know they have a chance. the pressure is nuts

[hanso]

This is shaping up nice kinda at least it's not someone running off with it.

I saw Tiger's shot that bounced of the bunker brim and stayed online. Missed the one where it did what it does most times.

[Snoogans]

i really hope ernie just won it with that putt

[spoon]

bogey turkey for scott

4 in a row?

:blink:

[spoon]

oh man

tie at best now

[spoon]

may have saved tie on that awesome shot

[spoon]

love that he dies by that STUPID putter


SUCK IT SCOTT, putt like a man




Imagine if Els found a way to win that US too, as he just couldn't keep it in the fairway off the tee or he would have.

[spoon]

what a round by colsaerts today too...jumped way up the leaderboard

[hanso]

Segway cam is cool, wonder if it can record /broadcast while it moves.

[spoon]

Els sure loves those vests!

[deliciousV]

Who knew Els was so long winded? He went on and on and on..

[disneyspy]

wow, what a collapse

[hanso]

Jim Furyk is looking good holding the lead in what is becoming a tight tourny.

Oosthuizen hit a 430 yrd drive and is challenging.

Lefty missed a green in back of a par three that bounced up near a fat Vol. worker who almost lost his pants when he scrambled to move it was funny.

Kyfur!

[cougarjake13]

no tiger?

He was around the other day

Furyk folds again yuck

The PGA champ. is on. 2nd rd on TNT.


The PGA Championship has always been the major that interrests me least. I mean, with the Masters, you got Augusta and the green jacket and all that tradtion. The US Open is played on some of the world's most spectacular courses in brutal conditions that kick the asses of some of the greatest golfers ever. The [British] Open gives you St. Andrews and pot bunkers.

The PGA Championship, on the other hand, just feels like yet another tournament that pays more than the others.

i think cause its the only one thats actually a PGA tour event. The others started on their own seperate from any pro tours and are governed by their own shit. The PGA was started by the PGA and is governed by the PGA, so it gets the feel of a pro tourney more. Its alot like TPC

So glad the Ryder Cup is finished. I got caught up in security road closures three times this weekend.
