Okay. I just didn’t know why you kept saying it. I felt it must be important for some reason.

Frankly I don’t either.😐

I think it’s silly that Daly still plays in these things, but the PGA had little choice in granting the exception. It would have been pretty bad publicity to fight it, and...hell, maybe it picks up a couple extra viewers.

(FWIW, since I think someone asked above: if his arthritis is chronic and really does prevent him from walking down hills, it’s almost certainly a “disability” covered by the ADA.)

Does the PGA have any special way they do the groupings? I think they need to put Rory, Tiger, DJ and Brooks in the “Chamblee Group.”

In previous decades, Woods would have had to wait two months to play in another major. The new calendar offers a major every month from April to July.

17 tee?

Attention shoppers, Elvis, errrr, Tiger, is crossing the "highway".

That's Round Swamp Road. To quote Obi Wan, "That's no highway!"

Driver give him quite some buffer room. Usually, the crappy drivers here are right up on you because you're just roadkill.

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

How many players can get views crossing the road? I'd hazard a guess at one.

Really looking forward to this. I'm bringing my 4 year old on Tuesday. I might spend more time getting there than I spend there, but hey ho. He's pretty excited about it. Going again on Friday on my own. Likely be spending more time in the bar tent that day :)

Doh. I dunno why I'm complaining about the commute. Taking the train in. Easy peasy.

I’ve played Bethpage many times on WGT golf. So feel like I know the course. This was a really good video.

I am discussing BPB on GCA and I don’t feel like it’s a very good course architecturally. It’s just difficult. Driver to a narrow fairway. Lofted approach covering bunkers. Repeat again.

Next two days of practice rounds should be interesting. Temps in the mid-40s and rainy. Welcome to a PGA Champ in May.

Good news is weather for the four days looks good. Temps in the 60s and only some showers, nothing horrible.

That thread is cracking me up, btw.

The main article, while over 15 years old, is an Interesting read:

https://golfclubatlas.com/courses-by-country/usa/bethpage-black/

"The Black relentlessly asks the golfer to hit high long irons.  The option of a run-up shot is regrettably absent for a course that is both long and exposed to the wind."

It kind of makes it more interesting for me when weather is a factor. These guys are so good, they sometimes need an obstacle to separate them other than the course being set up crazy hard like the US Open. When the British Open has good weather, it is a disappointment for me.

Looks like "Cart Path Only" for certain players with power carts.

Is this true? That's hilarious

Except for some maintenance roads there are no cart paths on the black.  It is a walking only course for everyone. Daly could possibly be the first person who will play that course with a golf cart.  Even if a group pays the outrageous fee to hold a shotgun start they can use carts to get to their starting hole but have to leave them there and walk the round with a caddie.

    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • 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.
