Well, Patrick Cantlay is most hyped for this week, I believe, and he is not disappointing. -8 through 11 holes right now. Always an interesting event with the AM’s joining in. Other big topic is how will Speith do after last week? Off to a reasonable start.

They had something on the Golf Channel last night that Jim Nantz announced from a golf cart from Ken Venturi.   There were three groups of celebrity ams that played.  Alfonso Ribeiro seems to have a good game as does Larry Fitzgerald.   It's easy to get too much of Bill Murray.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

I caught a few minutes of a lead-up to the AT&T on the Golf Channel last night.  The gal anchor said Pebble Beach was expensive but she had played it once.  Said she ran out of golf balls and had to buy more at the turn.  There is no turn at Pebble... the 9th and 10th holes are about two miles from the pro shop.  That was a strange statement...

I took Cantlay in my One-n-Done league (nothing brave about taking the top ranked player, I know)

...my heart said Spieth - and I might regret it.

Go Spieth!

I get excited for this tournament every year because I like watching Pebble and its neighbors.  Then they spend too much time showing the celebrities and big wigs stink at golf and interviewing them and I stop watching.

This year should be a nice change of pace. 🙂

Agree. They are following the Spyglass rounds better too.

Sometimes watching them struggles comforts me. I mean, I don’t wish they play badly, but it somehow makes me feel better about my own shots:

I notice this is true of last week as well as today; the cameras seem to have way more trouble picking up the golf balls than in the past.  Perhaps this is Covid related?  Are they running more cameras remotely or using fewer spotters or what?  Very frequently (basically all 3 in the last group just now on 11) they switch to the camera at the landing spot and it’s just kinda panning and not seeing anything.

Anyways - nice to see Jordan playing well for a scone straight week.

Actually, Pebble does have a "turn", in the original sense of the word in fact.  If my history is correct, the original links courses usually had hole 9 at the farthest point on the course, then you "turned" to come back and play the 2nd 9 holes - kinda like Pebble. Over the years, the "turn" has come to mean the point between hole 9 and 10 regardless of where that point was - even though at most courses that's back at the clubhouse.

To your point though, yeah it would be hard to get balls at hole #10 on Pebble, unless maybe there's a snack and equipment shop there.  I do see some kind of structure there on Google Earth...

Come to think of it, when I played there several years ago there was a small snack stand up in the trees to the left of the 10th tee.  Candy bars, chips and life-saving double gin & tonics.  Perhaps they also sold golf balls.

Makes sense to me.  I’ve always assumed this is why the traditional heading on all scorecards for your front nine score column was “out” and your back score was “in.”

I’m certainly enjoying the lack of wasted camera time on ridiculous celebrities. But I don’t understand why we have to watch non-golfers talk. They keep the play going on the side during commercials, who are paying for the time, yet we have to stop play to watch some guest or announcers chat. They wanna run their ball-washers fine, but keep the cameras on the golf.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
