No mask for me bro !

You need a respirator with charcoal filters to block out the smell in Kingsport. If you live there and don't notice it, it's because you are used to it.

Depends on what part of the city you are in.

And which way the wind is blowing. When I was on the road as a salesman, I went to Kport once a week, and Canton, NC once a week. I noticed the smell in both places immediately.

I stay in Kingsport when I get to come home. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

It used to be worse due to the paper plant. I think that now the most noticeable smell is butyric acid which is used to make some plastics.

Watching highlights of Tiger’s Masters win in 97 and my son says “Look at that steel shaft” after Tiger hits a drive. It was as if he’d seen black and white footage of Bobby Jones swinging hickory.

I watched the final round today on ESPN. I forgot how he absolutely crushed the field that year

That and the US Open at Pebble Beach are the most locked in that he’s ever been in his life.

That's going to feel really weird having the Masters in November.

Could someone with more PGA Tour knowledge unpack the Greenbrier cancellation? I’ve read comments where people don’t sound necessarily surprised by this move. Was the attendance for this event not very good?

Also, there is a pro at a Leadbetter Golf Academy in Hartwell, GA (Cateechee) who is doing free swing feedback at the moment. All you have to do is email him a video of your swing.

Declined every year since they stopped the concert series. It's what sold thousands of extra tickets, being able to attend golf then big time concerts later that night.

Was it really that good? Please don’t read this with as any sort of sarcasm but I looked it up and didn’t recognize any of the lineup. But that’s not really saying much.

I mean they had Rod Stewart, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Lionel Richie, Keith Urban, all kinds of huge names. Tiger, Phil, Bubba and other guys played it a few times also.

Okay then I was looking and the wrong thing. That sounds great. I would love to say I’ve seen Rod Stewart live. I searched it and found this. Which is why I was confused as to why so many people were mad about it being canceled.
