I normally do not just repost a golf shot without any explanation, however today will be my first. I am still in awe by the results of Rory McIlroy’s driver.
Personally, I am ecstatic to be within 4 feet after my second shot on a 350 yard hole. Simply amazing.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
Not much to say except, amazing. The recovery shots of professionals are always entertaining. Which recovery shot is your favourite? Mine is the first one by Keegan Bradley.
Have an awesome day!

After 12 months, 44 events only one event remains on the 2021-22 PGA Tour schedule ā theĀ Tour Championship.Ā The annual event is hosted at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta and welcomes the top 30 players in theĀ FedEx CupĀ standings. The final tournament has the makings of being exciting as it is usually one of the strongest fields of the entire season. It should be fun, but I am not convinced that the current set up is really the best way to finish off the long grueling season.
Continue readingI am fairly confident that if you have shown any interest in the WM Phoenix Open on the weekend, you would have watched the hole in one by Sam Ryder. It was a fantastic shot the resulted in an enthusiastic response from the fans. If you have not seek it, take a look:
The reaction from the crowd garnered some positive and negative comments across social media. I watched live on TV and was amazed at the craziness that ensued. The amount of debris (looked like beer containers) thrown on the par 3, 16th hole was a bit over the top for many. Personally, I think the response from the fans was exactly what the organizers and media outlets expected.
The stadium hole is designed to provide an atmosphere of excess. There is little doubt that the organizers want the fans to be interactive with the players. And littering the hole with beverage containers was expected. Why expected you might say? Well, there were about 30 people (likely volunteers) clearing away the litter once the fans quieted down after a minute of so. Yes, there was a delay in play what the antics the many unfolded, but again I will suggest that the organizers planned for this type of response.
Personally, I am not fussed by the over-the-top reaction of the fans. The 16th hole at the Phoenix Open is designed as a venue like no other in golf. It is designed to allow the fans to be interactive with the players. Every player understands what happens when you play the 16th hole and as such should be prepared to be booed, cheered or experience an over-the-top response to a hole in one. I would not support other venues like the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open, but I do for this one event for professional golf.

After four years since Jordan Spieth’s last victory, he has a two stroke lead heading into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Spieth’s last wins (3) occurred 4 years ago in 2017 where he won the Pebble Beach Pro-AM, The Open and The Travelers. Since then, it has been a steady decline in his game from world number one to 115th on the world ranking. However, that all stops today!
