This is an awesome story from over in the journalism thread. Golf Digest single-handedly overturned a murder conviction of an inmate who'd been in for 27 years, only finding out about him because of the golf course landscapes he drew in prison. Guy's never swung a club in his life.

Oh man, 2011 is when they started looking into his conviction. 6 years to find him innocent. What a waste.

He's playing so well right now. Hit 10/14 fairways and 14/18 greens and his bogey was a three jack (lip out par putt) on the first hole of the day. The wand is starting to look a bit magical too. East Lake's greens are playing super fast which is something Tiger likes.

Tiger looks real good despite missing a fuckton of fairways. It would be really cool to see him win this tournament even if he doesn't end up winning the FedEx Cup. Not like he needs the 10 mil anyway.

I dunno, him winning the FedEx Cup for the third time when no one else has won it twice would be pretty cool too.

I can't see Tiger losing that match, he's been so much more consistent than Phil the last 6 months. Phil has missed 3 of 4 cuts in majors this year, with one top 10 in the last six months.

He already gave $100m+ to Elin, I don't think he's worried about $10m.

His fake internet net worth is $760m.

Best round I've ever players today. Up and down recently and struggled with consistency but I feel pretty good with the round, putting well really make such a difference. Still 5 1 pointers so a bit left on the table there.

4 of those 5 faults I had. It took over a year of semi regular lessons to correct them and I am a lot more consistent now and have a solid understanding of my swing.

I almost gave up completely during this process because everything he was teaching me made no sense. I totally understand your frustration and feeling of hopelessness. Thing is - it's very difficult to change muscle memory and bad habits in a golf swing. You need to decide if you want to go through the tough process building a foundation from scratch or just be content in what you have. Essentially the total cost in dollars for all of my lessons would be equivalent to a new set of clubs. I know now that I made the smarter investment.

107 today, after hitting the range literally every day. The only positive is that I only pulled one ball left. My confidence is now completely shot.

Man take a break. Seriously. Go do something else for a couple of weeks and then get back to it. You’re not going pro anytime soon so all you’re doing is messing with your own head.

There are some youtube videos that may help. Not swing help, but planning help. How to break 100, how to break 90, etc... Your frame of mind now is on the mechanics of every part of your swing, and that's a lovely place to be on the course, vice the range.

Drew Nesbitt just shot the first ever 59 on the Latinoamerica tour, and he shot a 79 the previous day. There’s ups and downs for everyone at all skill levels, it happens.

I have a buddy who is a 2-3 handicap and he was shooting high 80s/low 90s consistently for a while earlier this summer, including our men's league tournament.

One night we went out after work with some beers and didn't keep score, just screwed around, bullshitted a ton in between shots and had a great time. Surprise, he was flushing everything and played great and now everything is back to normal. If you get too mechanical, have too many swing thoughts, or start thinking about your score too much, it's usually not good.

Man what you’re gonna want to do is put all your change in your left pocket. Then double knot your left shoe. After that, turn your hat around backwards and then tuck a tee on top of your left ear.

You should be good at that point.

The golf swing is pretty unique in sports (but I guess similiar to baseball swing) in that the harder you try, the worse the results.

I was about to post the same thing. Tiger has a good chance especially if Rose keeps shanking them.

E: and if he does win the fedex cup (lol) that would be really an amazing cap to a year of almosts.

Next April gonna be crazy in Augusta.
