    Sooooooo, Rory, Tiger and Scott paired together Thursday/Friday. That should be interesting to say the least.

    Tuesday/Saturday for me it is.

    Going to miss a whole lot of Thursday and Friday because of work, which blows.

    That would have been something. Too much media nonsense though.

    Yeah but it's better than hearing about that idiot Steve Williams for 2 days.

    It's proven to be too small of a car for a family of four to travel anywhere for a period longer than two days, but with some roof racks and a cargo carrier, I think we can make it work.

    going to be a proud week in these parts. weather looks to be low to mid 80's and mostly sunny.

    i really cannot wait. heading over there on wednesday for the practice round. gonna be weird getting there. my parents live only about 5 miles away, but we'll probably just take the train to ardmore and walk the mile or so to the course. i can't imagine finding parking around there.

    Word.

    Hoping to find a grandstand where you can hopefully see a green and another shot. 17 looks like it would be a lot of fun to hang out at too.

    There isn't really parking. Media and Chester I think with shuttles. Train is the way to go. Think I am going to hit up tired hands brewery on Saturday evening. Hear it's really good.

    Holed out from 135 yards yesterday for an Eagle! Far and away the best non-tee shot of my life.

    Followed up that hole with a three-putt double bogey. Yep

    Don't want to give away too many of my secrets, but it looks like the grandstand behind the 18th tee is a good spot. You can see a green and a tee shot

    or i could just have my mom drop us off on her way to work and catch the train home.....hmmmm

    my brother told me about that tired hands place recently. think its relatively new...and only a block or two from the train station. that's a good call.

    Thanks. It even spun back into the hole...which was total luck because I don't know how to spin the ball.

    Nice eagle. Played a course today that just has high grass everywhere. #9 is a short par 5. 465 from the middle tees. Problem is, there's no landing area and a big pond to carry to the green.

    Tee ball, OB right. Re-tee...smash down the middle. Really didn't want to go for it, but I was in "F it" mode. Just carry the pond, foot short of the green. Chip in.

    Not an eagle, but....

    no chance to park anywhere near Merion. Most streets within a mile are closed off to the public and need parking passes to park on.

    this rain is hammering Merion. not good at all.
