This female commentator on the Phil, Tiger, Bubba group is killing me. She just said Tigers shot was left and was going to roll off and it ends right in the middle of the fairway

here we go again. People have different skill sets. Not everyone hits the same length.

He hit the ball 170


No he didn't. Rewind your DVR. "Tiger has 193 to the hole, but he doesn't want to hit it further than 180 which is the front of the green. Anything more and it wont hold the green. Oh...he hit that too far." ball landed at about 186-187 and rolled out like they said it would.

Well Bubba can barely hit a sand wedge 150 so I'm going to go out on a limb and say you can't

Also, this is the MO for the US Open. It's always ridiculously hard. Tiger himself said even for the week would lap the field. He made par on 1 btw with a foot tap in.

Ridiculous that Tiger is hitting these knock down cuts into greens all day, then he just steps up and hits a full drawing 8 iron to 5 feet

Finally a great approach by Tiger. Easy birdie putt coming up.

I'll take it a step further a say he can't carry his PW 150. It's laughable, even with GPS, how off people are on their iron carry distances. Go hit on a trackman and you will be humbled quickly.

Yea I used to think I could carry an 8 iron 155 until I hit off a trackman and everything was 145ish, I was like wtf I know I hit an 8 iron 155. The guy was basically like yea dumbass its called roll, you can't stop it like a pro

Well, in fairness, most modern PW are about 44* so thats certainly possible (I can do it from time to time). But I would doubt anyone on this board who claims to hit a SW 150 yards.

I hit on Trackman a week ago at Callaway demo. 280.3 carry, 312.4 total distance with 8.5 Razr Fit. That thing is just filthy long.

Btw I didn't say I play my SW 150. I typically play it to 107. I said I CAN hit it 150 with stupid low trajectory. It was a statement of trajectory, not a dick measuring contest.

Exaclty, plus I used to hit a draw which will inflate your distances. Now that I am working with a cut I am playing with a 2 club difference on everything. Kind of humiliating at first, but now my distance control has been so much better.
