Lucky for you its a smaller field so pretty much everyone will be on the course at the same time....you have the freedom to move around..   And Doral is pretty much in a squared off area, isn't it?   So you can move from hole to hole pretty easy.  Am i right by saying this?  It looks that way from the aerial shots.

A member at my club plays in a big corporate outing there every fall and promised to take me with this year to play on his team.  I am not letting him forget that one!!!   I jokingly remind him every time i see him.

Dustin is trying to take out the camera guy. :-D

In all the years of watching golf I don't think I have EVER seen that happen...where the ball is coming right at the tower camera man and he actually got it on camera...that was actually kinda cool...and funny at the same time. :-D

Everybody at around even par didn't hurt themselves. You can't win on the first day, but you can easily lose it.

Still three rounds to go and I can't see the winning score better than -10.

Nope.  Tiger, Rory, and Phil are the only guys playing this week.  Supposedly "Dustin" beaned a cameraman today, but that was actually Tourspoon hitting practice shots from an adjacent lot.

I can't believe all the carnage on 18 yesterday. Good lord that hole is playing so hard. Like 20 balls in the water!

What do you guys think you would score on the hole, playing from their same tees?

If bogey was good for the pros, I'll bet I would score at least 7 or 8, and probably be happy with it. LOL

Since I'd be playing it like a par 6, I could live with a 7.

No better than 10 under? Maybe. Depends on the conditions I suppose, but I believe they will go lower. Perhaps not as low as 15, but maybe around 12-14. They have to avoid screwing up too bad on the tough holes. There are a several easy holes which give lots of opportunities for birdies and whatnot.

On in 3 seems like it would be GIR for a mid-capper like myself.  The green is huge and it looks like it would be easy to 3-putt.  6 would seem like a good score, 7-8 would seem more likely.

I've played it a few times. Play it like a par 5 up the right side. You can hit 5i, 5i, Wedge, 2 putts.

Which 9 is more difficult?  Tiger is -2 through 3 holes (birdied both par 5s).  It seems like if he could stay -2 on the back 9, that would be a good score, no?

I think the front was yesterday a little bit easier. But the scores so far are far better than yesterday. They have to get to -5 today to be in position

Does anyone know if there's a site to watch this online?

you can watch live action with the PGA Tour app. I have it on my iPhone, it's pretty cool.

18 is like an easy par five as far as distance goes. With a good drive at 260-270 you got a long iron into the green. Of course the wind, water and design of the hole makes it harder, but if it was straight ahead, it's possible. I'd have more difficulty with the 240 yard par 3. That is 40 yards longer than I can carry my 4 iron. A wood would reach the green, but holding it is another story.

I clicked on the link for the live feed, and for about the first 5 minutes the audio was drowned out by some "local 9" news segment.  Very odd.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
