LynnBlakeGolf: LaGuardia bound. 1st had to return to BP and return 'L' shirts for 'XL'. How do you walk approx 186 miles in 5 days and gain 3 pounds?  |

It is not the walking
Portion control is more important than clubface control when it comes to shirt size.
Seriously, a great accomplishment by BG to play in the Open. He didn't choke on it any more than #1 is right now.

he did not choke AT ALL!!!!!!!! What are you talking about,,,,,,,,the course is set up to be bombed around.
choking is what the leaders have done for the last 12 or so holes, by not separating themselves. BG, while maybe did not play his best played a pretty damn good game, with the set up they had to play.
ROCK ON LB AND BG... ROCK ON !!!

Disproportionate Rewards

I agree.
There are several holes where the shorter hitters must drive to narrow fairways, e.g., 18 yards wide, while longer hitters drive to far wider fairways, e.g., 30 yards wide. Also, bunkers that pose no problem for the longer brethren are absolutely in play for the shorter. So, in addition to the length and bunker-exemption reward, the longer hitters also get the wider fairway reward.
How do I know?
I paced the respective fairways off -- in disbelief -- on Wednesday.
No excuses for BG necessary or offered. After all, Fred Funk, another short-hitter and one who just turned 53-years-old, made the cut (on the number).
But . . .
He (and BG) played a far different golf course than did most in the field.

LynnBlakeGolf: I am a huge Miguel fan. He's his own man. In the arena, he asks no quarter and gives none. Outside, he loves life and enjoys his own.

LynnBlakeGolf: I ask if my smoke will offend. "Oh no" says he. "You were here first. Besides, I'm going to have one of my own."
