    Yesterday was a good mail day.  This is finally starting to feel real!  




    Just curious, how much did a pass cost? I enter every year and have never won. Even if I did, not sure I could swing the cost.

    $100 each for the Wednesday practice round.  Not bad at all.  The place was absolutely incredible.  Will post some pictures later.

    Went to the Wednesday practice round.  Hard to put into words how incredible this place is.  When you walk out and see the first hole you're just blown away by how massive it is.  I know everyone says it, but the TV just doesn't do justice to the elevation changes.  #10 was prob my favorite hole and I could have sat there and stared at 12 for hours.  A day to remember.

    ^ good for you… bucket list fulfillment I’m sure. Goosebumps must be an understatement. I’m looking forward to a Ryder cup @ Bethpage Black… I grew up .5 Mile away, went on US Open & PGA there… not Augusta, but I always loved it even before the big events.

    Well I managed to get a round in and shot 82 with the pins set up for a comp that had been on before our round. I haven't played for 2 months so I'm very pleased with that.

    Nice! I have been to a few US Opens and PGA Championships here in the northeast. You cannot really appreciate how difficult the courses are and how good these pros are until you see them in person. Those 225 yard iron shots from the rough to an elevated green that land 5 feet from the hole are just incredible. TV makes it look easy. Its not.

    Yeah man I still can't believe I was actually there.  Just blown away.

    Concur on Bryson.  Rory's 2nd shot on 15 today was absolutely sick.  Really hope he puts it away tomorrow.  What a Sunday coming up.

    even tho Rory shot a better round, it seemed like Bryson played better. Sure hold Rory can hold him off tomorrow.

    I thought Rory struck the ball better but Bryson scrambled better. Rory’s short game went sideways in the middle part of the round but was on point otherwise

    Crazy talk.  Bryson barely hang on.  Rory made it look easy.  
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 16,130
    I think Bryson wins it. Really wish Rory would win, but Rory has played three masterful rounds in a row minus two bad holes.  Can he keep it up?   
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 16,130
