Do you reckon half way through they ran out of ideas? 0806 group is Carl, Charl, and Charles, next group is Robert, Bob and Robert then its KT, KJ and YE!

Last year on the PGA I think they had Holmes Watson and Moriarty playing in the same tournament. They missed a trick if they didn't put them together.

My favourite ever grouping was last year on the European tour - Fisher Price Horsey.

Bubba doesn't want to be the first to hit his 2nd shots - he tweeted his LM numbers for this practice drive.....

Those results hardly seem possible!!

Such a high launch angle with such low spin.

I really need to get me a Pink Bi-Matrix shaft.!

That backspin : ballspeed ratio is less than 10:1 = ridiculous!

I reckon the average Joe might be somewhere like 3000 : 150 = 20:1

At 14 years old, this must be great news for a kid who thought he had missed out.
Must be the best late call up since Deemac got the call for the play with Luke Day :)

Not half... but a blow for Paul Casey - the guy he replaces due to injury (again)

Shame for Casey! Such a great talent but plagued by injury!

BTW - the 14 year old kid only made it because I have too many meetings planned for the Thursday... :lol:

Well it was a practice round today and Alvaro Quiros bagged a hole in one on the 7th.

The 7th is a par 4.... albeit a short one.

Rory's been practicing his pitching (have to say his marketing is pretty decent)

Well the dream team group from America is having a 'mare. Tiger's looking ominously tidy and in control, but Phil is +6 and Bubba is +7... they need to motor tomorrow to even make the cut!!

Let's see how the European group (Luke, Lee, Rory) compare....
