    Rory has one of the prettiest swings in golf, especially with longer clubs. Swings it so freely.

    I was surprised to see they went away from the traditional Sunday pin placement on 16.  Not sure what the reasoning was.

    So strange. Can't remember when it wasn't in the usual Sunday position.
    Congrats to DJ. He earned it.
    Tiger. Well, a 10 on the 12th, then makes 5 birdies on the next 6 holes.

    I assume it has to do with the conditions and the scores.  Give it a little more bite rather than the funnel.

    Awesome win for DJ.  I lose a side bet on a season long pool.  Much needed major win for him.  Super cool to see him emotional.  Dude has had quite the life

    The dude is a machine.  When he drives it that well he is tough to beat.  Add putting to his skill set and lights out.  

    So many great players out there.  Tough to win.

    Egg salad yesterday...pimento cheese today
    Yeah I went with the pimento cheese sammy's today too. Also made the Azalea Cocktail for the fist time. Vodka, lemonade and grenadine. A bit sweet for my liking, but hey, tis the fucking season, right? Will be a decent start to the morning tomorrow, I'd imagine...

    (also stocked up on a bunch of Tired Hands beers a few days ago!)
    I saw that drink today for the first time. I’d give it a go but yeah

    you go to tired hands for it?
    I did. They also deliver now too.

    Justin Leonard is no bueno 

    I didn't mind Leonard.  His making fun of Brandel's nerdiness was amusing.  He also had a few interesting insights based on his playing experience.  He was much better than Duval, who I am glad is gone.  I do miss Nobilo though.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    This fucking game. Played yesterday. Putting was on point. One three putt all day. Drove the ball better than I have most of the year. Iron game was okay. But the short game around the green, which is usually my strength was utter trash. Finished with a fucking 95 but felt like it easily could've been closer to 85. Oh well.

    Did the same on Friday.  I left at least 6 strokes in the table with bad chips.  I think my total putts were 2 under,  one penalty stroke all day,  etc. It was all chipping.  I do find that this time is the year the greens and green side play gets harder as everything is more inconsistent. Different speeds,  different lengths of rough,  etc.
