The pace is so slow. Ugh.

What is it with all these announcer’s curses?? First they say Gary Woodland’s the only player in the field to not make a bogey yet, only for him to make one on the next hole, then they say jokingly, “Let’s see if we can curse someone else.”, then Finau duffs a chip and makes bogey. Well, maybe not the second one as much as the first.

If there are no spectators, why are there still so many tents? And I see some stands around the greens?

Hey, I actually saw graffiti on a live golf broadcast and it wasn’t some art exhibit. 

Is this major one where the course is closest to an actual city? You can hear a lot of city noises.

Is it me? The announcers keep cutting each other off. I get Strange is working remotely though.

That depends on your opinion of how you'd categorize San Francisco. 

But by contrast, the L.A. Open at Riviera is held way away from the city of Los Angeles.

There is no crowd noise/murmur to drown out the city noises.  See city, hear city.

On the short par-4, it looked like they had a crowd.  A small crowd, like a dozen people, but there were people.

Tiger birdies #16.  If he birdies his next 38 consecutive, he has a good chance to win this thing.

I was pumped to watch Charl Schwartzel make his 20ft putt on his last hole to make the cut.

Was rooting for him on that one. I’d like to see him make some sort of comeback to relevance

    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
