    Golf is better with Jordan Spieth in the mix.

    What a finish here.  How does Xander hit in the water on 17?   The one place you can't go.  Winning is tough.

    Stricker has to "love" seeing all these ryder cup hopefuls melting under pressure while he beats them at age 53.

    Damn.  That's a nice payday...Brooks was 40 to 1 to win coming off 3 straight MC's.  Stricker top 10 finish had to be a really nice payout too.

    I think Spieth closes it out today.  Watching golf at Pebble never gets old.  And even nicer this year with no 5-6 hour rounds because of the pro-am.

    Pebble rules. Drinking with a surf and turf dinner tonight and no work tomorrow (no work doesn’t exist these days, but no one bugging me at least). Fuck and yes.

    It's the best.  Just told my wife that at some point in my life I'm dropping the $500-600 and playing Pebble.  She then asked how many balls I'd hit into the ocean.  A lot.  And it would be glorious!!!

    Just don't tell her that you'll have to stay at one of their hotels in order to book a tee time more than 24 hours in advance. The price of them makes the green fee look like peanuts.

    Pebble would be amazing, but I think if I was really going to make a trip of it, I’d do Bandon Dunes. Somewhat similar experience being right on the Pacific at a friendlier price point. I get that Pebble is a bucket list course though.  After getting cracked on the hotel and greens fees, imagine how much you’d piss away in the pro shop too.

    I concur. 

    Also--FUCK THIS WHITE SHIT THAT'S BEEN ON THE GROUND FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS. 

    God, I cannot wait to golf again.

    Yep, this lack of golf has been brutal.  It kept me sane last year getting out of the house and doing something.  Stuck inside every weekend with the kids and nothing to do is driving me nuts.  I've been going to hit balls at the practice bays at the PGA Tour superstore like once a week lately...pretty nice setup they have there and it gives you all the launch monitor stats.

    Yeah, man.  Agreed on all points.  I should head to the PGA Superstore as well.  Great place to get swings in.  You go to the one in Downers Grove?

    Forgot they have a PGA in Schaumburg.  Probably your spot.  I go to D.G....nice facility.

    Yeah this is always one of my favorite tournaments.  Classic course.  Hoping Homa pulls it out.
