Ryder Cup Terminology 2014

If you're gonna call the morning matches "four-ball," then you can't call the afternoon matches "Foursomes," you should call them "two-ball". There are always gonna be four players playing together on Friday and Saturday, so neither "four-ball," nor "foursomes" makes good sense. Why not call them exactly what they are? All four players are playing their own ball in the morning, and the BEST player's BALL for each pair - wins the hole, so call it "Best Ball". In the afternoon, each pair alternates strokes on ONE BALL, and that is called "Alternate Shot".

A Double-shot of Creed

Creed - "Torn"   (from My Own Prison, 1997)

Source

Creed - "What If"   (from Human Clay, 1999)

Source

I know they get a bad rap, but I really loved them in their prime. The first two albums were pretty incredible, and they were also VERY good live when I saw them in '99 in San Antonio. It was the Joe & Harry Freeman Coliseum, and it was up close & personal - very well done.

Although their 3rd album, Weathered, seemed significantly less creative -and much more commercial- I really enjoyed their 4th release, and most recent album Full Circle.. released 10 years after Human Clay in 2009.

These two are without a doubt my two favorite Creed tunes. There are many more, though. Mark Tremonti, currently with Alter Bridge is an amazing song writer, and wizard on the axe.

Zach Johnson's Amazing Golf Shot

...in case you haven't seen it yet.

This is one of the most difficult shots in the game of golf - the fairway bunker shot.

Here's the reason it's so tough: Over time, most golfers become fairly capable of getting out of a green-side sand trap, in which you hit behind the ball with the face open, and slide under the ball, allowing the sand to "blast" the ball out. You never touch the ball. But the fairway bunker shot requires you to hit the ball as if it were a regular fairway shot, but you must make perfectly clean contact, taking no divot. You have to "pick it clean".

I always tell people to put the ball a little back in their stance, use one club longer than you might think, close the face a tiny bit, aim about 10 yards right of where you normally would, and swing at a steeper angle, so that you pick it clean, and then get out - without risking any type of divot. Hit this type of shot a little fat, and it's gonna go about 30 yards. Hit it a little thin, and if it doesn't re-bury itself, it might go 10 feet.

So this is already one of the toughest shots there is. Magnify it by the fact that this is during a tournament.. a PGA Tour event.. on Sunday.. in a sudden death playoff for the title:

The shot won him the tournament. Well done, Zach!
