didn’t know I could be so stressed, sitting on the couch drinking beer.

He could win the grand slam this year with the monkey off his back.

bootlegger10 · April 13

Amazing that he never gave up.

This is one of the greatest wins in sports history. Eclipses Tiger in 2019 in emotion and meaning.

if he lost he would be lost.

I think Tiger 2019 was bigger for the sport. But this is so much bigger for the player. Nothing all the much changes if Tiger doesn’t win. Everything changes here

What an incredible day of golf. That was exhausting just to watch! Rory!!!!

That walk to clubhouse after the playoff was one of the best sports moments I have seen on TV in a long time. There are very few things that are harder than winning the masters. Let alone the grand slam.

Wobbie · April 14

any other tourney, I would have been fine with Rose winning, but not this one….he did play incredibly and I saw at least three putts thru the tournament that coulda shoulda gone in….one bounced out from the back of the cup and it wasn’t even moving especially fast.

sucks that that turd Reed got 3rd.

Agree that was fantastic and I loved that CBS and Jim Nantz let it play out without talking over it.

The Masters and a good Bloody Mary (or several). Works well.

that could be a first for “hello, friends.”

actually, nantz is OK but his tiger slurping and NFL work is annoying.

For a moment there everything seemed fine in the world!

Can’t stand Rory but I this was impressive. He could’ve folded a few times and didn’t. Missing the putt on the 72nd hole was predictable, but the awesome drive and approach on the playoff hole showed some real grit. Gotta give the bastard credit. And having already won the Players, he may be headed for a pretty spectacular season.

mrussel1 · April 14

It was really a wild round of golf from multiple players. Bryson dunking two balls, Rory with that chip into the water when he set up the hole perfectly. That had to be a shank. Rosey just dropping dimes, but missing that par putt on 17. I can't imagine the stress that Rory was carrying around all day. He had his personal weight and the weight of the "patrons" and golfing world on him.

had to work all weekend, but man did I tear up watching the highlights of that win.

If anyone wants to play 18 for the Florida, Atlanta, or Pittsburgh shows shoot me a PM! I'm looking at playing Emerald Hills the morning of FLA1....would also like to play Monday 4/28 in Southeast Florida. Kind of want to play Osprey Point again since it poured rain the one time I went, but it is a drive. North Palm Beach is too far because I have a 7:30PM flight to ATL. Besides that any recommendations? Not playing Trump. Jacaranda is under construction.

A PJ/golf trip sure sounds nice! Only recs I would have are around WPB/Jupiter...I go down there every winter for a golf weekend. Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter is a sick course. Very pricey but well worth it.

Have any of you run into something like this, or close to this on the Course?

Yeah

I wonder what started that? People playing too slow?

When I used to play me and my Friend had someone behind us yell for us to hit our ball that we couldn't reach the Green (there a couple of people on the Green at the time.) We didn't say anything back to him. My friend was really good, and I knew he could reach the Green. I wasn't good but I knew if I hit a good shot, I could reach the Green too. Well, my friend hits his shot and puts it about 10 Feet from the Pin. My friend did say something after his shot, ("I couldn't reach the Green?") and we didn't hear a word after. I sucked and I didn't hit on the Green. I hit it over the Green=LOL

What’s the distance and handicap?

Last week I was up in Princeton and played TPC Jansa Polana. What a fun course. Shot an 81 but left plenty on the table. The layout is amazing and you can play most holes multiple ways. Huge replay value. It’s not that hard if you stay in position. But get a little wayward and you are throwing up a number.

Anyone else play it before? Highly recommended.

112, 18. I guess anyone could do it!

Indifference71 · May 2

That's a really cool looking hole. 112 a little downhill..easy sand wedge for the bird!

Wob - if you hit up into the rough behind the green, does it roll back to the hole?

It is a pretty hold. Nice looking course in general.

Probably not. The rough is always super long over there and it’s ridiculous right now because one of the two rough mowers has a snapped axle, so we are way behind.
