The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[tirolski]

Slammin Sammy Snead has the record for the oldest folk @68 to make a cut in a PGA tourney. It was in Westchester.
Jay Hass & his son are playing together and have good chance to break the record tomorrow in the Big Easy.
It’s just golf.

Jay Haas is playing in his 799th PGA Tour event. So why does he sound so nervous?

Jay Haas joked he thought son Bill might 'come to his senses' after asking him to partner at the Zurich Classic. Now the 68-year-old wants to come through in his first PGA Tour start since 2010

The old dude done didit in the Big Easy.

“That was probably as nervous as I've ever been over a putt of that length. It sounds silly just to have a chance to make the cut. However, there's a lot of circumstances here that it kind of made it doubly important in my mind,” Haas said after the round.
“To somehow shake that putt in on the last hole was something I'll never forget. But just the whole week, playing with Bill, getting texts from all my kids, it's just been a real charge.”

Beautiful day to go golfing.
9 1 putts, 1 birdie, 4 3 putts some good shots some not so good 44-44 88.
Chip shot hit the stick on 18 for birdie but left a tap in.
Won a buck for fewest putts.
Ball's in the air tomorrow too.
Should be another nice day to golf with the usual suspects.

I did my time 72-76.
It’s a good golf score.
Might have crossed paths.
It’s a nice place to go to school.
1 year I lived in the last house on Pierrepont before ya get to campus.
Ya could almost fall outta bed and be in class.
Lots of folks stopped by on their walks backs and forths to downtown...

Shot a 40-46 today.
Putted good again and drove it better than yesterday.
Too many doubles again on the back mostly due to miss hit irons. Same pins as yesterday.
Another good day for golfing and it was a little breezy.

Question : anybody tilt yer putter ? Saw a thing on "tilting" the shaft forward toward the left knee which the presenter " claims" makes the mallet head deliver the impact more effectively IF YOU PUTT DROP HANDED ?


Never heard THAT one , not sure i buy it
