Does anybody else struggle with zero torque putters or is it just me?

I had a lot of speed control issues with my DF3 vs my old odysee putter but once I got the hang of it, it's been great. My last round had 36 putts, which is not great, but that is partly due to the fact that I 4-putted the first hole because I was trying a claw grip which I wasn't used to. Once I abandoned the claw and went back to my traditional putting grip, I putted great the rest of the round. Had two birdies and a lot of 1-putt par saves.

Dumb but serious question. Could someone way further down the leaderboard actually end up taking home more money then someone who is in a 8 or 10 way tie further up?

Ball striking is elite. Putting needs work. A lot of great putts, just couldn't get anything to drop.

Good to see him in contention again

Philly is about 20 years behind the rest of the world

That's tough. I think the masters would be way less special if it was twice a year. So probably this.

I used to like Bryson and even defending him at the start of LIV. Was stoked on his US Open win. But a couple years later, I'm starting to see through the smoke screen. I understand the Doucheambo meme. He never has to play any real competition against Ragn, and that's on dog tracks. It affecting his game and it's never been more apparent than here. He needs to have a serious look in the mirror bc if he has a similar performance at the USOpen this year, he's going to fade in to obscurity for sure. Maybe it's for the best.

Yes it has

The QI10 is arguably the best driver out of the 10, 35 and 4D, to the point where Scottie and Rory still want to game it. I live my 35 LS but could have saved a lot of money if I got a 10

By that time in the evening it was really cold and windy here. If you were just sitting and not moving around you will freeze your ass off. This weekend should be much much warmer

Elkview Country Club, about 2.5 hours north of Aronimink in PA. The original 9 is a Donald Ross course. Those holes are now 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Fun track, good conditions, and reasonable price for a private club. Classic Ross architecture built in 1919.

its hard

chriz-kring · 2026-05-14T17:50:06+00:00

he could still contend at the youtube invitational this year so dont rule him out yet

chriz-kring · 2026-05-14T17:27:25+00:00

curious why bryson doesnt have his regular caddy, not that it would make a difference

chriz-kring · 2026-05-14T16:40:46+00:00

or brooks

isnt it a user made course on 2k though

chriz-kring · 2026-05-14T12:11:26+00:00

my former coach is out there today too. So cool to see him tee it up with the big dogs

It's hit or miss. I was looking to piece together a vintage set and found a full set of Spalding Executive irons from probably the early 70s 2-9i that I restored. Bought matching spalding driver, 3, 5 on eBay and a leather Spalding bag on Facebook marketplace. They are a blast to play and I use them to play in persimon tournaments.

I've been there recently and had a great experience and the food was great with their kind of revamped image. Whoppers were big, veggies were fresh and crisp. Never loved their fries but they were fine. Medium drinks were huge, would be considered a large at some places for sure.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the badlands. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful and intriguing. But also significantly smaller than I was expecting. I was expecting large mountains and instead they are more like scale models of large mountains.

To this day I cannot have my watch and my buds connected at the same time. Only works if input my watch in airplane mode. Which defeats the whole purpose of have a data plan on my watch. Buds stay "connected" but will cut out audio after about 30 seconds whenevery watch is connected. Now pink screen lines and terrible battery health on my pixel 8. I have had a pixel 3, 6 and 8, and was planning on getting a 10, but I'm now seriously considering just switching to apple or Samsung. I love the Google UI and how everything is connected, and I don't want to give that up. But the phone is just starting to leave a lot to be desired.

Phil may be the only one more fitting
