    I’ll take him to contend on Sunday and then shit the tournament away. Until he starts closing out tourneys again, I’m in the “prove it” mindset with him.

    On Live From The Players they were just talking about how Tiger could have dropped just off the green on that grass walkway after his first ball hopped in the water on 17 because it's marked as a yellow hazard now. So he could've chipped/putted from there for his 3rd.

    I figured maybe there was some local rule saying that any ball in the water is an automatic re-tee or drop zone shot.

    Why the hell didn’t he do that then? Dumb.

    Got to work at 4:30am this morning.  Plan to leave the office at 3:30 and head over to the club.  They opened the regular greens for the season this week so I'm really looking forward to seeing what I shoot.  Not gonna be pretty but sometimes those no expectation rounds are good ones. 

    I paid dues for 12 months last year and got only two full 18 hole rounds in there.  Not a good use of dollars.

    This tournament seems so much bigger in March. I love the timing.

    Soooo tomorrow is going to be quite the day. Hell of a leaderboard. For gambling purposes; a TOMMY LAD win would go a looong way to a $5k pot, but I don’t think it’s that likely. 


    I don’t remember liking this course (or tournament) nearly as much as I am this year. 4 par 5s, drivable par 4s, a par 3 over 200 yards, 17, the smallest bunkers you will ever see that are magnets. It’s playing incredible. I have always found this tournament somewhat dull, I don’t know if I am just paying more attention since it’s the biggest tournament so far this year rather than stuck between the two best majors, but this has been a good tournament.

    I thought The Players was held in the summer?  Or am I thinking of a different tournament?

    I believe it was previously in May. I could be wrong though.

    I've always thought the Players was a great tournament and course to watch on tv.  The holes are memorable and adds to the experience.  They could play Shinnecock every year and each hole would still be indistinguishable from each other.

    I took my dad to The Player's in 2016 for his 50th birthday. It was an amazing experience walking around all four days. I've always loved watching it on TV though. Really needs to be considered as a 5th major.

    I like David Feherty's commentary, but man he has this weird sound with his mouth when he talks and is annoying as hell.

    PGA is doing a hell of a job on this 5th major nonsense. No thanks. Don’t dilute what we have
