Last year, we looked at Muirfield Village’s defenses and those pesky furrows. This year, we didn’t do that quite as much as the bunkers were less of an issue and the course itself hasn’t changed much.
So, filling out this year’s “Others” picture-heavy post, we have David Leadbetter and his mystery bag, a shot of the new bunker rake, and a pair of shots with no people in them whatsoever.
Charles Howell III and David Leadbetter watch as Chuckie Three Sticks’ caddie “rough rakes” the bunker behind the 12th green. Charles joked “did they make you attend ‘Rough Raking School’ this year?”
This year, Jack decided to “rough rake” the bunkers. Instead of tines spaced 2½ inches apart, the tines were spaced 1¾ inches apart, which just resulted in slightly fluffier, softer lies.
See? Clearly you can escape these “rough raked” bunkers just fine. Word on the street is that the furrows will return next year – the bunkers played too easily this year.
A shot from behind the 18th green. Hours after this shot was taken, Tiger Woods eagled the hole in the Memorial’s annual pro-am.
I have no idea what David Leadbetter carries around in that little man purse of his, but I’d like to. It’s probably just lunch. 😛 Leadbetter spent time with both Charles Howell III and Trevor Immelman this week.

Titleist wedge craftsman Bob Vokey followed Adam Scott around on Tuesday, carefully watching Adam hit bunker shots, chips, pitches, and approach shots with the wedges that bear his name.

I’m betting David’s “man purse” holds a video camera.
And, OK, a sandwich. 😀
