    Because a marketing campaign says it is?

    One of my favorite holes in all of golf this weekend. Wish they just had featured hole coverage on 10.  On vacation for this entire tournament, so won't see anything.

    Putting poorly again. Hopefully just getting this out of his system before Augusta...

    He sucks at this course.  Very strange that he has played there so many times without a victory.

    He’s gotta start putting better. Last place finish, dead last in putting as well.

    That was a fun tournament.  A great field and a really tough course.  

    Surprised to see so many guys dropping out of the WGC Mexico tourney this week...

    I think these WGC’s fall behind four majors, the players, fedex playoffs, The Memorial, and Tiger’s tourney.  So when at best they are the 11th highest profile tourney of the year they aren’t that big a deal.  Squeeze them into a packed schedule and then they get even less attendance.

    This year there is the Ryder Cup and Olympics too.

    Oh yeah definitely not prestigious or anything but they're a guaranteed payday with no cut so usually the fields there are pretty stacked.

    Bought some golf course architecture books.  Knowing myself they’ll sit unread for years.  Hope not though.

    Patrick Reed is one hell of a putter. Great leaderboard yesterday.

    What is the phrase?  Those who can't do, teach?   At least I can tell people this is an Eden Hole when I'm shooting a 105 with them.

    We went to Riv for the first time this year, and after walking the whole course, sat in the stands they have set up right of the green on 10.  It's cool to see all the ways the hole can be played.  Saw Ryan Armour drive it on the front left of the green, then his 90 foot putt went into the back bunker.  He made a great/nearly impossible up and down from there for par.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    That is awesome.  Love me some putting into bunkers.  Would love to sit at both the tee and green on that hole.  Sounds like fun.

    18 is an awesome hole too.  A great course overall.

    No Tiger at Bay Hill has to be at least a little concerning.

    Definitely not making the Olympics.

    Yeah no shot at the Olympics for him unless he wins once or twice before the cutoff to qualify.

    PGA National is such a brutal course.  Kinda fun to watch these guys struggle so much.  Crazy to see a guy like Koepka +8 and nowhere near the cut.

    Yeah, man. I haven't been able to see any of it, but the scores are awesome.

    Have Fleetwood this week so liking his start.
