The Players Championship 2008 - TPC Sawgrass

[AZOffaly]

played it last year  hit a 9 iron 125yds and was 4 inchs from the pin  went on to get my birdie

no way - hope to play it this year around sept/oct with the brother and a few friends. any advice on deals? did ye stay at the course?

the 17th would be an 8 iron for me but i'm not sure about 70 out of 100 az! its one thing to hit a straight 8 iron its another to get it to stop on that small green, anyway cant wait to play it..

Sounds a bit ridiculous to me too especially as if you land near the edge its likely to roll into the pond making the green even smaller for a non-pro,for a amateur it would be incredibly hard to have a 70% success rate if you ask me
Saw a stat from todays play that 10 out of 92 golfers found the water

If you found your rythmn on one shot over and over again - its not that difficult to hit the same shot with around a 70% average. 100 shots from the tee is different than walking onto the tee 100 times after playing 16 other holes and having one shot to hit the green.

Exactly Puckoon. That's what I was thinking. I'd expect to hit 5 or 6 into the water out of the first 10, but the average would go up as you get into a groove. If you asked me how many times I would hit the green if I played 100 rounds there, I'd be more like 50% I'd say.

Sure ya can claim you would do it all you want as its not likely you'll ever be able to prove it,I doubt your claims as i don't think any amateur golfer would get 70-75 from a 100 balls especially the way the wind can blow across that hole as we saw last night or maybe you also want perfect conditions too?

Harrington going well.
Poulter leading, please God he doesn't win the thing.

[laoislad]

Looking forward to this,love this course especially the 17th which is probably the best par 3 hole in the world
Whose going to win it is anyone guess especially as Tiger isn't competing..
Can Harrington do the business? and will it be a tainted win for whoever wins it with the World's best player not involved?
Im going to have a punt on Garcia to win

€25 each way at 35/1 get in there you f**king beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats €1,143.75 baby yeah f**king yeah 

Fcuk me can't believe it's 4 years since I won that bet. Haven't won a bet since!
Probably the last thing Garcia won as well.

f**king hell I've just seen that Kevin Stadler & I could have sworn it was his Old Fella. As the commentator says "Neither of them wearing out the gym"
