I think Ricky played great alongside Tiger yesterday.  I actually take what happened on 16 with a glass half full approach.  He knew he needed to birdie (there was a HIGH chance Tiger was going to) an

How dangerous are those drone blades? If someone loses control or if there's interference with the remote, how much damage can they do to a person?

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

Great pics Rick.  Practice rounds are a blast.  Didn't make it out for a practice round this year, but I'll head over to watch tomorrow, and probably again on Saturday.

Always a great event.

It was very close to Pat Perez's head on the practice green - it really can get some good angle shots, but it is noisy as hell by golf standards. It sounds like a swarm of bumble bees. I have a youtube that I'll post later (I'm headed out for a round of golf this a.m. ).

Wow I have never seen that hover camera before.  Are they going to be using that during the actual coverage?  Can probably get come really cool shots.  I'm guessing it will only be used between shots though, no way a player would stand for that thing buzzing overhead mid-swing!

Bayhill is old school - in the residential setting of homes of the 1960s architecture.  Even Arnie's Lodge feels like you've stepped back several decades.

That is cool. I'm into retro myself.

Rick, I gave you a thumbs up for the great photography.

I went into work late today and was watching morning drive. They commented on the hovercam and that they are using it at the tournament. Maybe we can get some unique angles from it. Hopefully the drone people don't object, but I didn't see any weaponry. I was thinking that if it could shoot an electrical charge they could use it to jolt the slow play offenders and video their reaction.

When Rand Paul inquired a few weeks ago, Eric Holder made it clear that they couldn't target American citizens on American soil with drone attacks.  He did NOT say anything (as I recall) about targeting non citizens who are posing a threat to Tiger Woods winning another Bay Hill championship.  (That would almost qualify as terrorism, no?)

Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter better stay on their toes if they're playing well come Sunday!

In the case of protecting Tiger Woods, I would suggest arming it with Mini Nike Hercules missiles. I think they make a very discernible "Swoosh" sound.

Really, its a golf tournament not a shrine.

I was thinking out of respect for one of the all time greats, the guy who made golf popular back in the day? I mean how many more years do you think the guy's gonna be around?

Anyone catch Rich Lerner's piece on Arnie? Kind of sad to watch Arnold aging. He did do a  very good job in today's press conference. Still mentally sharp.

Spoke w/ a long time attendee at the Arnold Palmer practice round and the consensus is that after Arnie passes, this tournament will probably pass away as well or at least the venue will change.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.
