CBS has been horrible. I turned it off when they spent another 20 minutes talking about Phil and not showing golf.

Tiger should withdraw after this round, he looks absolutely miserable out there.

Thankfully he just did.

I didn’t want to see it but he’s not in good shape and it’s best for him to just not play. I’m sure he’s gonna try the Open but he just looked like he was in a lot of pain this week .

I’d like to see him skip the US Open and give it a real shot at St. Andrews.

Shame JT missed that. Everyone else is playing some pretty mediocre golf.

Assuming you're talking about the pool we couldn't pick him because he was a top 10 betting favorite.

Though, if we could just pick whomever I would've picked Morikawa so my :10bux: :10bux: was doomed from the start

Thank you thank you thank you to all who have paid! Once I get the last twoone, I'm going to either:

A) get a custom MyTP putter in black and gold (I'm a Wake Forest alum, which is why I picked Zalatoris); current putter is a lovely MaxFly from a $300 set of clubs two decades ago
B) Pick up a hybrid since I don't have any

Feel free to weigh in

I super approve of this spending of your winnings.

I don’t know if you have a 5 wood, but it’s going to be friendlier than a 2 or 3 hybrid. If you’re thinking of getting a 4 hybrid, you probably should.

A custom putter would be a cool way to commemorate the win but make sure you actually putt well with the putter.

A few notes start with:
-Your driver is probably the Hyper X
-Your Warrior SW is probably the same loft as that MG3 wedge so toss that poo poo in the trash
-Everything except for your irons and wedge can stand to be replaced.

If you're starting to play golf more seriously and want to upgrade, I always advise buying used if you know your specs or close enough to them. Clubs that are a couple generations old generally perform as well as newer models.

Your M4 irons/wedges and the MG3 wedge are pretty much the only thing worth keeping from your bag. A new putter probably isn't going to improve your game that much unless you just really hate yours or it's really poorly fit. There are a ton of used putters $50-100 that you would be happy with.

Stats show that the largest improvement to your scores comes from driving the ball better (straight and longer), so that's what I would recommend, especially considering what you currently have. I would look at used versions of the 2019-2020 models. The Callaway Mavrik Max, Cobra King SpeedZone Extreme, Titleist TS2, and TaylorMade SIM Max are all previous generation models that will perform well and can be found for $150-200.
