I'm going to my 1st Senior Tour (Officially "PGA Tour Champions") event next week at Warwick Hills, the Ally Challenge.  I've really not watched much of the Tour Champions and was looking at the web site to see who was going to be there and the field is only showing 12 players as of today.  Is that typical for a Tour Champions event?  Since it is only 1 week away I would suspect they know everyone that will be there but not sure, could there be last minute additions?

It just seem to be a very small field.

It will update at some point. There will be more than 12 players. Don Felder is playing Friday night if you are an Eagles fan.

Well, today did not go as planned. 

I got to the course @ 10am but should have checked before I drove 50 miles.  Heavy overnight rain delayed the gates opening from 10am to 1pm and pushed tee times back to 3pm.

I figured, hey, I’m here do make the best of it.  Finally they opened gates at 12:40 and we got to our hospitality suite @ 1 and had lunch.  They moved the  opening concert act up from 6pm to 1:30 so we had some entertainment.

@ 2:45 we headed to the 10th green to start watching some golf.  But by the time we got to the green they announced all golf was cancelled for the day.  Headed back to the suite for a drink, snack and more of the concert.

They moved Don Felder to 5pm but by then my group was tired and decided to just head home.

it was not a total bust but not what we were hoping for.

I'm so sorry your experience wasn't what you expected.  Heavy rains last night.  We had over 2" last night and within the last 3 days about 4.5".   There were 6 confirmed tornadoes last night within the state.  I'm not surprised they closed the course.  All local courses were closed today.

I clearly understand the call.  We got the same storms at my house and I had to drain water out of the pool this morning, simply too full.

They were still pumping water out of bunkers at 1pm.  The greens & Fairways we saw looked great but I am sure if I walked in them they would have been water logged.  They said a couple holes were simply not playable.

Still, I did enjoy the day and spent time with a few clients which is a plus.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
