The 2012 Heritage at Harbour Town Discussion Thread

I'm really excited for the Donald/Snedeker/Stanley pairing tomorrow and Friday.

I also realized I've yet to play Harbor Town on TW12, but also that a good friend of mine has similarly not done so. So we're going to play it a few times this week on a relatively level playing field. So that's neat.

I love Harbor Town. Have had the opportunity to play it a couple of times. And it is so different from Augusta - ANGC has wide open fairways, expansive. HT is almost claustrophobic in comparison with the hallway fairways & small greens. It almost makes you rub your eyes after watching the Masters. :)

 

And the irony of the courses - HT is tight with a wide-open 18th hole. ANGC is wide open with a tight (at least off the tee) 18th hole.

 

I wish I was in Hilton Head this week!!!   I'm up north and it is killing me.  The heritage may be my favorite tournament that I have ever attended...aside from the Masters.  And I have been to three PGA's, Two US Opens and a bunch of others.   It's just so laid back and cool in Hilton Head.  So jealous of my family who all gets to go while I am stuck in NW Indiana. 

I have only watched a little bit but I did get to see John Daly smoking. I really don't care for seeing that for some reason. I would rather see Tiger pitch a fit than see John smoke.

I'll pass on both but at least CBS won't show footage of each single cigarette John lights up.

I am anxious, actually attending the tournament on Saturday for the first time in the 11 years I have lived in Hilton Head.

 

The course looks great, have fun

 

Here's a vid of Kip Henly, Brian Gay's caddie, vs an alligator

 

 

 

 

Is it safe to poke an alligator like that? It may be dozing in the sun, but still pretty big.

It's pretty stupid. That gator could have lunged at the caddy. They're pretty quick.

My wife, daughter and I went to the Masters in Augusta and then on to the Heritage in Hilton Head. We were pleasantly surprised with the marked improvement in the town of Augusta since my last visit ten years ago. The locals were great and the dining excellent. My daughter is quite beautiful, but we we surprised at the reaction she received from both golfers and caddies. This was also true at the Heritage. Pictures have been circulating of her in her green dress by the putting green. Nothing offensive was ever said or done, but I would have thought that professional athletes would not be seemingly shocked to see an attractive girl. At first we thought some confused her for Tigers ex wife, but I am not sure. Whe we go to Charlotte in a few weeks I will advise her to dress down. 

Well, she certainly couldn't get her dress up any more.

 

  

 

So nice of her to give the young man in the motorized contrivance a moment, though. 

Hahaha, that guy's face is priceless

Welltravel, is that your daughter? If so, where is the rest of her dress? Call me old fashioned, but no way is my daughter getting out of the house in that outfit!

Why is she wearing so much? Can we get a front pic too?

Highlight today was seeing Michael Bradley make eagle on the 16th. This was my first time seeing pros in person and I am amazed at how slow and methodical they are. The TV cameras make them seem much faster in play because they do not show how many practice swings they take and how long they analyze the next shot,

Also, seems the Heritage is more about the party than the golf. Bit disappointing, but still hand fun....lots of drunk people leaving tonight, however.
