He is done, even if he toughs it out. How is the rest of the weekend going to pan out
He needs to WD immediately before he causes more damage. A hand/wrist injury is a potential career killer. His caddy is a moron for not making him take a unplayable.
Have you seen the size of the welt that has started at the base of his thumb on his right hand, :shock:

Rory hung tough, doesn't look to be that bad. But those kind of injuries can tighten up overnight and he may have problems tomorrow, we'll have to see. With all the physios around him I'm sure if they thought it was a dangerous injury they would have advised him to withdraw. The way he hit the ball out of that hole and then the buried bunker shot, both unreal shots, makes me think it's not that bad.

thing is ... you have to be playing your absolute best to win a major ... and i understand that all he cares about are majors and the masters is like 8 months away but still ... wrist injuries take a while to heal ... i'm not sure the risk is worth the reward as i don't think he can win playing with the bad wrist ...
This could be very exciting.Anyone within 5 or 6 shots could pull it off.Especially on this course with some unusual suspects at the top of the leaderboard.
Verplank would be a nice champion.A wily vet who has paid his dues.
But all these guys have thrown up a few doubles at this venue.And on Sunday the grip pressure tightens a little.
Looking forward to it.

How closely do you all play by the rules? I'm very strict because I feel like that way I always know I'm playing the same. I've been paired up with many people over the years and find that most don't even know the rules let alone play by them. For instance, I never play the ball up and if I get there and find my ball out of bounds I go back and hit another rather then just taking a drop. About the only rule I let my othr friends get away with is the complete whiff.

i'm not serious enuf nor good enuf to play by all the rules ... i play golf for fun and recreation ... if i hit a ball into a divot ... i'm moving it out ... if i hit a ball into the trees ... i'll play from where it went in (with a penalty stroke) ... it keeps the golf course moving too ... the worst part about golf now is going to a course and playing a 5+ hr round ...
this is how all my friends i play with will play too ... so, it's consistent amongst our group ... i do occasionally play with a guy who will make me re-tee it if i get to my ball and it's OB ...

Not sure what this post is supposed to mean. You cheat? I don't.

Polaris the tips are 6762, and the fairways are bentgrass which means you get almost no roll whatsoever. In other words it plays VERY long. I'm pretty long off the tee (consistent 260-290) and that shit kills me. As far as playing by the rules, I play everything down (unless it's on a tree root or something - that doesn't often happen), and take penalties when they should be called. If there are people behind me I will not go back and re-tee b/c I would want to kill me if I were in that group. I haven't been OB that much this year so it's probably cut 12 strokes from my score or so by not doing that. At the start of the year I was 103-107, now down to 90-95. Renditions will kick my ass if I'm not careful though.

to further answer your question, they didn't seem to care if I played from the tips when I shot a 106 there a few months ago. I probably get away with it because I play fast (played a 2.59 round with my Brother-in-law this summer) and am long off the tee so it sends an image right away that I'm better than I actually am.
Got a great weekend of gold lines up.
Starts today with a tournament for work related stuff. With take a mini bus to and from the course, 2 coolers of beer on ice and the helmets are optional
Then Friday thru Sunday me and 15 other guys have some cottages rented at this beautiful 27 hole golf course called Pike Lake. We have divided into 2 teams and are going to play a Ryder Cup style tournament through out the weekend. First time I have been involved in a Ryder Cup format, so I'm looking forward to it. We get breakfast all 3 mornings and 2 suppers included.
Basically 4 days of str8 golf, loving it.
Suppose to be a beautiful weekend weather wise and thats great as we had a tornado in the area on Sunday night and there was apparently 1 more last night with some severe thunderstorms. Get all that bad shit out of the way and bring on the sun. I'm going to need to take a week off after this just to recoperate.

sounds awesome ... i played in a work related tournament last week ... we shot -8 but left so much out there ... no one could hit a shot from 65 yds anywhere near the hole ... haha
my winter golf trip the last few years has included replays at the courses ... so, we will play 9 in the afternoon after our regular 18 and play ryder cup style formats ... although your weekend sounds way more fun ... enjoy ...

"With our thoughts we make the world"
how far are the tips? ... do they let you play from the tips if you are a 20+!?
crazy finish yesterday ... to come back from triple on 15 ... wow ... bradley had that killer instinct - dufner not just yet ...

Cheating is cheating.
"With our thoughts we make the world"
i know based on how i'm playing ... scores are relative to courses and conditions ... an 87 on one course might be like an 93 on another ...
it's about having fun out there as well ...
