Well obviously my first thoughts are toward his health and it sounds like its not life threatening which is great. But from a golf standpoint, this is going to be hard to recover from if the injuries to his legs are as bad as they seem

Shoulda used the driver.

He might be the biggest scumbag at that site and that’s saying something

It's a beautiful day for golf! Who's in?

It's a beautiful day for golf! Who's in?

 

I have had zero spare time for about two months now but I havent' given up on it. As soon as I can, I'll get back out there.

I've been watching WAY too many youtube videos on swing mechanics and working to rehaul my swing at ranges when the sun peaks out, but we just got a foot of snow a few days ago so I guess its another slow-motion breakdown of Akshay Bhatia's swing for me.

He put his drive in to a fairway bunker and on his second shot clipped the ball and sent a missile to to this spot, then the wheels came off.

I re-did my swing several months ago and went into a period where I was absolutely terrible. Finally, I feel like I am getting the improvements I want - I was borderline good yesterday.

I think this is legitimately the single dumbest rule in all of sports. There’s all sorts of scenarios you get free drops, sprinklers, drainage, cart paths, lift clean and place, obstructed shot/view, etc. yet you have to hit out of a man made divot in the fairway.

The question is when should you get relief from a divot in the fairway? It’s not black and white. Up until you see any grass growing in the divot? What stinks is that a player rakes a sand trap, which is a hazard, so the next person in it gets a good lie, but you can get terrible lies in the fairway. The rub of the green they say.

I don’t think there’s really a question, you should always get relief from a fairway divot. It makes no sense why you shouldn’t. Just get the standard club length that doesn’t put you closer to the hole/improve the lie (going from rough to fairway). Treat a divot like a sprinkler head if the ball is in it.

I think if you're in the fairway, you should get to do whatever the hell you want to the ball, so long as it doesn't put you closer to the hole, or change your approach angle. Reward good shots.

Did 18 holes Saturday. Absolute trash, apart from approach. Irons were WAY longer and pretty straight, apart from 1 in 4 that I was pulling left, which is the opposite of what I used to do. Driver was so poor I considered just hitting 4 irons instead, but stuck with it. Never got better.

But what constitutes a divot? When does an old divot become regular fairway?

I mean guys clearly take liberties with drops off sprinklers and what not (look at Reed a few weeks ago with the plug in the rough and Bryson off the sprinkler in this exact tournament a few holes before this happened). This shouldn’t be that much of a debate and this is clearly a horsefeathering divot where Westwood’s ball landed. Just allow dropping the ball a club length sideways or backwards. I think it’s stupid you can be penalized for hitting a ball 300+ to the fairway. Especially on the tour where guys are landing balls within the same 30-50 yard area all week.

This is exactly why I try to avoid the fairways when I golf. Land in a divot and you’re screwed....big time. I don’t know that I’ve ever found myself hitting out of a divot in the long grass.
