Day is incredible. Has overcome the inability to close out a tournament and now thrives on the pressure at the end of a tournament. The bunker shot he played on 18 at Bay Hill was exceptional, and he sunk so many putts against Rory to put him away. Great stuff from Day, has to be one of the favourites going into Augusta. Still think Spieth and McIlroy will come good on the big stage, but they're in for a battle. Day, Scott, Spieth, McIlroy, Fowler, Bubba and Stenson, man it's going to be a good major.

Shot a new PB over the weekend. +13 in incredibly tough conditions at Lancaster. Had 5 three-putts too, so if I'd avoided them I'd have broken 80. Ah well, just nice to be playing some decent golf so early in the season.

Need to start scrambling better and start turning those doubles into bogeys at worse and I'll be well on the way. Booked an hour putting lesson for next week too, hopefully that'll help combat some of the putting woes.

Golf is probably the only sport that could get away with one of it's major women's tournaments being named the "Ana Inspiration".

Well done mate! There seems to be a 219yard par 4 though...What's the challenge to that particular hole? The rest looks like a decent card if you've had that many 3 jabs.

Cheers pal. That hole is shortened for Winter, tee was moved right up as new drainage has been put in across the fairway, so majority of the fairway was GUR so they shortened it to take the fairway out of play. Is back to the normal tee now, and playing much more difficult.

Meant to be playing 2 Handicap cards at Lancaster this weekend if the weather relents. Looking forward to getting the handicap sorted at last and being able to play in some Opens.

Had my first proper round in years yesterday and shot 84

Very happy with that as it was a tough course (The Pines Course | Public Golf Courses | Gold Coast, Brisbane) and I was playing with 25 yo sticks

Really helped that I was playing with my son and was trying to demonstrate to him the benefits of alignment, controlled swing, etc etc

Only a matter of time before I start lashing it and remembering that I used to have the yips :laugh:

The careers of Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan, and Carl Petterssen continue to head south after the anchoring ban with all 3 missing another cut

Hope they saved some money because they could soon be out of a tour card unless things turn around

Thought that Mahan converted to the belly putter?

If not, it makes his fall from grace even greater

Anyway, forget the "only had a belly putter too" argument

I used one for a round, couldn't miss and IMO that really was legalized cheating

The long putter required a totally different technique and you could still **** it up as the hands still played a big role in the stroke
