The Golf Thread

[BigPapaVol]

Isn't there some story about the coach telling Clarke to choose between partying and golf and Darren handed him the golf bag?

don't know. DC and my buddy used to meet at Augusta and play the Friday before Masters week and DC always presented him with a couple of absolutely outrageous bottles of Scotch, which somehow never made it home on Sunday.

What is the name of the tournament the ladies play in?

I guess that is the case for a lot of courses. The ladies used to play the Sara Lee, which I'm not sure even exists anymore, at The Hermitage in Nashville before they moved to the Legends. I had free passes one day because of the tournament I was playing in, so I went and watched for a few hours. It was a totally different golf course. I had played The Hermitage several times before then and I have played it since then and I never imagined they could get it looking that good.

The Sponsor is Proctor and Gamble, and the tournament name's a mouthful

last i checked they still paid the same and gave out the same trophies with or without Tiger.

bottom line, winning on the tour is winning on the tour.

naive. It's about history at this point for phil.

 

[crazyguy]

This is just ridiculous. Tiger has NEVER played a lot of tournaments in a season. Phil has played in a ton of them without Tiger.

This has absolutely zero bearing on what I said.

Phils just sunk about a 40 foot bomb on 16 to go -15

It was a little lucky. That ball was motoring when it got to the cup.

Phil finally looks like Phil this week. He's about to put up another insane number today.

 

[vol_in_ar]

I'm surprised in didn't bounce out, it was moving so fast

 

[GAVol]

Nothing like a smooth 62 on moving day.

 

[vol_in_ar]

Could have easily been 61 with that putt on 18
He just pushed it

Especially on a generally tough track.

True . . . It's not like this is Bob Hope week.

I guess Butch came through again for Phil. I hope Phil can close this one out today.

The guy who came in second (if he is a pro).

 

[doozer]

that's a pretty good gig if you can get it. you don't win but still get paid like it.

 

[vol_in_ar]

go Phil

 

[BigPapaVol]

Over Boom Boom? That's crazy talk.

i'd love to see a Phil Sunday meltdown and Couples slip in there to steal the win.

I wouldn't mind seeing Boom Boom pull it out
If Phil chokes he'll be a head case for the rest of the year, and I'd like to see him and Tiger go head to head a few times this year

Kostis did a good job laying out Phil's problems.

Riviera isn't the place to miss a lot of greens. That grass is brutal every year. Almost as bad as the ice plant in No. CA.

Another player to watch out for is Stricker. If he can keep the deamons from last year away he may be able to slide in under Phil and Boom Boom. I would love to see Boom Boom make those putts under 4 feet and walk away with the win though.
