  1. I don't know what the fuck a hamate is but golf is very dependent on the left hand. It's not just idle or there for support like in a lot of other sports so it doesn't shock me that the injury happened on his left side. The modern golf swing also has you holding your left wrist through impact which I'm sure causes a lot duress - tense left wrist + 200mph ball speed sounds violent.
  2. His tee shot on #12 was because he misread the wind. He hit a good shot that got smoked by the wind. His immediate commentary suggests as much I'm not going to comment on the "mental" side of his game, his confidence, his belief, etc... - I don't have insight into his head, only his swing that I can see with my eyes.

    USMNT 2022

    Why? Because he missed two scoring opportunities against RM? Those two "opportunities" were low probability at best. If it's just because of his poor form for Chelsea in general, then I can't disagree but I'm guessing a bunch of football hooligans aren't thinking for much longer than a snap judgement.
  4. This non stop dialog around Jordan's pre shot routine is fucking tiresome. And then these talking hacks clamor on about how he's thinking too much about his swing. The whole point of his pre shot routine is to get the feel for an exaggerated position and transition - he's not thinking about his swing, he's trying to feel it. His actual swing is VERY different. He's a feel player. Contrast this to JT's pre shot routine, he sticks the club straight back, stares at it, makes sure it's right (clubhead slightly closed, pointing up, shaft down the line), then swings. The swing is nearly identical to his pre shot routine. He's very mechanical. Two different approaches, both of which are effective - the mechanical pre shot routine will always look prettier but it's asinine to think Jordan is all out of sorts with his full swing just because of his pre-shot routine. He's top 50 SG T2G. It's also tiresome hearing how Jordan is a top putter on tour with a wicked short game - he just isn't anymore. Hopefully, he gets that back soon as he's apt to do.
  5. The fact that a football message board is still talking about Tiger after he shot +113 at the Masters 3 days ago underscores his continued importance to the game. For me, it's that simple - if it helps the game, I'm all for it. And for now, Tiger definitely helps. Doesn't mean I root for him to win, but I'm also not going to bitch and moan about the coverage because that coverage brings eyeballs and growth to the game.
  6. Tiger is a cheetah?
  7. From a neutral standpoint - the MF three of Kante, RLC, and Kovacic looked gassed about 75 min into the game and RM started to get a lot more opportunities as a result. I couldn't believe Tuchel didn't sub any of them until AET and only used one sub in regulation. RLC in particular looked as lively as anyone in the 1st half but just didn't have the legs pretty quick in the 2nd. This one feels like a dang coaching mistake.
  8. Mason County just got a severe t-storm watch - is it happening?
  9. This is where I'm at. Fuck that region of the world.
  10. It's going to be a tough day all day today - definitely easier in the morning but not as easy as yesterday morning. Could be a blood bath today and I'm here for it.
  11. Merc just shed 15kg from their car.
  12. Right now is the easiest it's going to play. This morning wave has a huge advantage going off right after the thunderstorms passed. Tiger got the best possible draw. It looks like it's only going to get tougher from here to Sunday. It's going to get cold(er) and more windy. They'll be able to dial this course into the exact conditions they want by probably Friday - which is to say, hard as fuck.
  13. Radar looks real empty once this small cell passes. They might just get to play the par 3. Or at least part of it.
  14. They say hole #2 (the old #2, the par "5") was the inspiration for hole #2 at ANGC.
  15. Also said he wants 2nds of everything and they'd have to get a cart to get him home. Hideki really hit a home run. Though after the 2nd course, there was probably a long pause.
  16. I'm not going to claim to be good at this whole odds thing. Edit: though in my defense, I made 4 claims (0% chance he plays, he won't come back unless he feels he can win, no one can be ready to win with the Masters as their first tournament back, and he won't play in a ceremonial capacity). I got half of them right. That's gotta crush the Surly average.
  17. "As of right now, I feel like I'm going to play" - Tiger
  18. Also... Hideki's dinner looks fucking amazing:
  19. For those of you equally obsessed, they are streaming Tiger's PC on the Masters website. Hasn't started yet, I assume waiting on Tiger to get there: https://www.masters.com/en_US/live/index.html?videoChannel=simul&promo=hero_live_Tiger'sPressConference If it doesn't load, login first.
  20. Couple of hours from now. Tiger press conference is in 10 minutes. Hopefully gives his final go or no go.
  21. He's totally playing. Probably Tiger, JT, Rory grouping. Get maximum value for this appearance.
  22. Masters on the range is live on CBS Sports Network right now. I think it goes until 1pm. Finau on the range at the moment.
  23. Took a trip to Paris with the family over spring break and brought the Z6 along for the ride. I was a bit hamstrung in that during the best hours of the day to shoot, we used that time as "unwind and relax" for the kids (i.e. screen time in the apartment). Not complaining, they needed it as this was a go go go kind of trip. Still managed to get some decent shots on cloudy/overcast days that made for good B&W candidates (I think?). Either way, great photos or not, it was an amazing trip.
  24. Hossler has a very timing sensitive swing. When it's on, it's on. Round 2 and 3 are great examples. His career at UT is a long example. When it's off, it's a struggle and he looks like a head case. People admonish the chicken wing spieth has but that is a swing designed to hold the club face square as long as possible. It's what Hogan did so well though through a different mechanism. The most consistent swings and winners, regardless of era, are those that can hold the club square through the impact zone the longest - they have the best ability to manipulate the club face as needed.
  25. Carli Lloyd sounds over this shit.
