It won't be easy. The flight I booked earlier this evening leaves Atlanta at 9:15 a.m. EDT. Unfortunately for me, due to weather warnings, starting times have been accelerated, and Brian goes at 9 a.m. CDT -- -- versus a normal 2 p.m. time.
The best I can do is to catch him at the turn, so it just may not be in the cards this time 'round.
nasty stuff coming in from OK......looks to slower moving than the stuff the other day which got here from tulsa in about 6 hours....so who knows, our local weather is SOOOOO dominated by the bluff on the river you can never really tell...........may they just call it at noon and off the NY we go!!!

Never thought about that, needham. Hey, I'd take it!
it is 7.15 here and yeah if they DON"T call it I do not want to be the TPC super, I know Jim has a GREAT crew....but I WOULD NOT want to go fix all those bunkers this morning!!!!!!
According to Accuweather there will be thunderstorms thru the morning til noon with a 3 hour window and then starting up at 3pm again...that's not much of a window to clean up the course then play before the next series of storms.
"Watch closely." I said. "This will be an Acquired Motion Stroke [half swing] with very little wristcock. He will finish at Follow-Through (both arms straight) with the Clubhead remaining beneath his hands. The ball will finish close."
And so it happened. It was the same shot I had taught my student earlier in the day.
Said Mr. Kostis from the tower:
"I would have expected more motion there."
Yoda,
Please tell us more about half swing bunker shots.
Please understand I am only a local Superintendent. IMO, looking at radar and knowing local weather pattern, they are not going to play golf today.
There are storms just north of Little Rock, AR that are coming this way.....3 hours before it gets here maybe less.
Also looks to be bigger storms just east of Tulsa, OK........seeing we have not missed a storm yet in the last 72 hours I have to say by 4pm those will be here as well.
Let me text around to some "super" friends and see if I can find out more. I did not go this year so I am out of the loop....but I will see what I can find out.

Yoda,

Don't want this to deteriorate into a threadjack, but in addition to the information above . . .
1. Use a slightly Open Plane Line, i.e., a Line slightly left of the Target Line;
2. Use a Stance Line either parallel or just slightly Open to the Open Plane Line.
3. Open the clubface and aim it down the Target Line;
4. Grip the club firmly;
5. Set the Pivot Center (head) and weight slightly left (toward target) to encourage a steep Angle of Attack, but maintain a vertical shaft (little or no forward lean);
6. During the Stroke, minimize hand action and emphasize arm and pivot action. Think "up and down" (V-shaped swing), not "back and forth" (U-shaped swing);
7. Through Impact, trace the Open Plane Line with the Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point.
