It was fun as always, even though I could barely walk at times. It’s always good to meet people in person that I’ve interacted with online. I am a little disappointed we didn’t get to have dinner together and just kind of chat with people not within our own groups but a 5 hour round will do that. I hope everyone gets home safe. Looking forward to the next outing.

It was fun. My phone said I walked 4.7 miles and climbed 20 floors, despite riding in a cart. Cart path only was a bummer but that stuff happens. The weather was pretty good compared to what I was prepared for a couple days ago. I brought my full rain suit, umbrella, rain gloves, golf bag cover and a change of clothes.

The course selected was a very nice one. The bunkers were crap but the balance of the layout was interesting and challenging.

The TST group is a diverse collection of golfers who are easy to hang with. It was a pleasure to join everyone yesterday.

@StuM, thank you for plugging away at this for all those months of messages and changes.

@iacas, thanks for pulling together a fun format for the competition.

@ChetlovesMer, thanks for not driving our cart off a cliff and making my wife a widow.

Thanks. I didn’t love it but I think it was fair, and different.

Open to disagreement on this as always.

Yea, looks like they were doing work on some of them too.

I liked the course, it looks more daunting than it is. It was a fair test at par 70.

Least I could do. 
I enjoyed that round. You're a great cart-mate. 
 

Hope to do it again sometime. ... I mean play golf ... not drive the cart over a cliff. 

BTW - I'm still pretty sure those punks too my ball. :angry:

Thanks @StuM for putting this together. Always good to be able to put names and faces to the site handles. I enjoyed the round. Got home at 4 AM safely. Hope everyone did too. 

Looking forward to seeing y'all and some more next time! 

P.S. bunkers were okay. Just had to punch the bounce down into the 'sand' pretty firmly to not skull it. But yeah, other than couple of mini par 5s posing as par 4s it was a fair and fun course.

Glad you all enjoyed.   Todsy’weather was fantastic for golf so the few of us that opted to stay the night were rewarded.

It was wet due to rain that ended 3 hours before we all arrived, but… it wasn't bad. It was reasonably warm, not super windy…

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      2026 Players Championship

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
