Yeah, it puts you in a certain mode of play. After playing six rounds, eight rounds of match-play golf, certainly helped my mentality for this week. So, it's probably a good start for this week, preparation-wise.

Retief's a good friend of mine and a great player. But he didn't really fire at all today.

blocked bunker good great hard hip hit instead iron missed par played putt relieved seven sharp shot six three tried walk woke
My hip was a lot better when I woke up this morning. I'm relieved that I can walk around without any sharp pain. I putted great and holed some long putts, ... On 17, I tried to hit a hard seven iron instead a cruisy six iron and blocked it right. I played a good bunker shot but missed the par putt from three feet. That's life.

He played great on the first nine holes. That's good golf and you can't control that,
consensus good great hours plane playing ten totally
The consensus here is that ten hours on a plane is too far. You get cooks, cleaners, a great house, everything is free, you're playing for a million. Yet it's still not good enough for them. I'm totally bewildered.
