Scottie Scheffler hasn't made a 5 this week
- Thread starter Glenn's Take
- Start date
It’s insane how they are tearing apart these tour level courses like this. They limited the driver COR so long ago and it hasn’t made one difference. The Tour ball is the only way this will stop. When I played golf everyday in High School and college up until I was about 30 I was almost scratch. I usually sat around a 2-3 handicap. I played Valhalla from the championship tees 3 times. The best I scored was a 78. Part of that is I’ve never been a terribly long hitter, but damn. They shoot 64-65 out there like it’s nothing.
Dang man you sound like you were a hell of a golfer!
Ask Foxy about his Cocksman days. Dude is a hound. Lol.
He hadn't taken more than 4 strokes on any hole all week until he got a pared on a par 5
Appreciate it. That’s good right?
It's virtually unprecedented. 4 straight rounds and every hole is 4 strokes or less is NUTS. These guys are basically machines. I play golf and you can be super focused and still have a bad hole. He's not just parring, he's birdieing all the P5s.
Yeah sounds like it. He was on his game huh? 4 straight rounds, is it 18 holes each round?
He’s pretty good and going to finish 3rd. Tells you it’s a great field of golfers
Can you answer my question I asked earlier about the rounds. Y’all got me interested in it now. Lol.
I played in high school and college. I wish I played more today. My back is really bad now. I have a hard time getting out. I used to work at a course so I practiced and played a ton.

Yeah that’s ridiculous to never make a bogey on a par 4, a double on a par 3, or a par on a par 5. Crazy really over one round, let alone 4.
18 holes total? Or 18 each round? Sorry for my ignorance on the subject.
Nevermind. Fox answered it. That’s a lot of holes.
I always wanted to golf but I’m the ultimate shanker. Nobody is safe on the course if I’m taking a wack at a golf ball lol.
I literally just started playing last year - never start a sport in your mid 40s lol. I played in a night time 9 hole little scramble at my club a couple weeks ago, was the first time I ever kept score - I killed everyone with a +22
. Guy I was playing was a 9 handicap and I thought he was amazing. Got my kids all starting a golf camp this summer with the hopes they like it, I absolutely love it it’s a blast.
Sounds like you were a damn good player.
I never got into golf much. I think I could have been decent. I could drive the hell out of it. But my mid range game and short game were not so good.
I would have been one of those guys throwing my clubs in the lake. So I gave it up.
One of my best friends was a great golfer. He was a football star too and football injuries affected his golf career. But he was a career pro. Before turning pro he won the Ky amateur a couple times.
He’s a tour official now. So he still makes his living on golf.
Same! I would play for a few months, progress to the point where I was about a 27 handicap… and that was my limit. It was like I hit a brick wall at that point, which would piss me off greatly, and at that point I would start throwing clubs in frustration.
Now I go out about once a year, and I’m just happy when I hit one or two good shots. Much healthier!
That would be really fun. I love going to Tour events. Short game is where you scoring is made. It helps bombing it 330 but you will make your score with wedges and putts.
Yes, it’s a beautiful thing to watch. Nothing like having a good day on the course.
lol. Get out there and keep trying. The more you play the better feel you’ll get and start hitting better shots. It takes time to be consistent, but that’s the best thing about it I think.
It’s highly debatable if that putrid course is “tour level “ though . That course should never host a PGA event imo .
Yeah , on basically a “pitch and putt” golf course.Wyndham Clark had the round of a lifetime
Idk I’ve never seen it before this week that I remember. I know it had a full renovation, but again that course shows why the ball needs a limit on tour. Courses are already insanely long at 7400-7500 yards in a lot of cases and they make it look easy. I wouldn’t call the course putrid though, it’s a very nice course.
I thought it looked rough. Looked like it was in the middle of a subdivision. Scottie shot -31 there last year and Clark shot a -30 this year. Some of the par 4’s were the length my group plays ,lol.
imo a course with multiple drivable par 4’s shouldn’t be hosting pga events .
Yeah. I’d like to. Might as well. I guess going to the driving range would be a good first step?
It’s nice to have them, but they need to be set up the proper way. There are many drive-able par 4’s on the PGA every year in majors where you can drive them and make Eagle or put it in a bad spot and make double easy. It should only be like one hole a side max though.
Yeah go to the range, get a couple lessons. Figure out the proper way to approach the game first. Work on your short game the most. After you start playing a couple years buy some clubs that are fitted to you.
Thanks homie. Yeah I got some clubs that were my grandpas before he passed. I’ll have to look them over. Been a while.
My advice is to take at least a couple of lessons before even going to the driving range and developing bad swing habits that you will fight the rest of your life .
