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.
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.
Yeah but it's better than hearing about that idiot Steve Williams for 2 days.
Very true. He's the worst.

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
that's golf for ya

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.

talk to a few people today who were in the area said police were all over. no way to get too close. some businesses and houses on Lancaster avenue were advertising places to park but that's not all that close.
Second, the course looks to be in great shape, the spectator paths though are very muddy in places. They are doing their best though, but plan on getting dirty.
What a phenomenal fucking day.
Got to see Tiger on about 4 holes, think he only played 10. It was funny, on 5, EVERYONE was putting it about 10 yards short, I mean everyone. Tiger comes up and puts it to 4 feet. Everyone just laughed.
Got to see a lot of people. Saw a lot of Fowler and Johnson when we first got there. Saw Rory, McDowell, Snedeker, Bubba (got to see him hit the driver towards the end of the day with almost no fans at the tee, it was awesome), Big Easy, Luke Donald and of course Tiger. So many others too, but those are the ones that I saw a few times today. Only person I wish I saw today and didn't was Kuchar.
Fucking blast. Can't fucking wait till Saturday.
Logistical: public transportation is simple. Highly recommended. Back nine looks like it is going to get VERY congested. Didn't spend too much time back there.
Edit: Side note, The Big Easy is a massive human being

good stuff. my wife's dad was there today. said tiger practiced the front nine so will probably be on the back nine tomorrow. we're gonna try that out. what time did he start? i read he likes to practice early...

Yeah, he played 1-10, I believe. He went off at 12:45 today, which is very rare. He is usually the first one out, so I would plan on getting there early tomorrow, especially since he went out later today. It was really cool to see everyone on the greens. They would all get there then drop 4 balls and start putting all over the green to where they think the pins will be.
Let me know what you think about the back and if you find any decent spots. Check out the 14th tee. The practice green and 14th tee are basically the same thing. It's hilarious.

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.

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

this rain is hammering Merion. not good at all.
that ain't good
As long we get some dry weather and the puddles drain, we'll be good.
Scattered storms tomorrow. Beautiful forecast Saturday. Can't fucking wait.
Mike Davis said the course drains well, hopefully that's not just lip service.
tiger needs his to text :?
