Does anyone watch this tournament specifically? Or will we all be watching just because it is more golf to watch? I like the florida swing but dont know all of the courses.

Not much time for me to watch golf. I'll tune in to a few rounds at the majors and that's about it.

Looks like the weakest field in some time that I can recall seeing...Pass

I don't think that anyone in the top 30 OWGR is even in the field.

I'm a member at PGAN and I'm not going, if that's any indication how I feel about the event this year, tho it's not entirely due to the field. I've just lived here like fifteen years now and it's pretty old hat to me. That being said, if Rory and Scottie and everyone decided to play it then I would go. It's been 6 years or so since the top players came here? We didn't realize how good we had it here in the 2010s.

It is a diminishing tournament which is a bummer. Most of the time it has to do with where they sit on the schedule but it not being one of the big ones makes it tough to get the big guys. But it is a chance for everyone else to make something happen, which is always fun to see who takes advantage.

I am having fun watching it. I know it is not a big event but seeing some of these guys I have never seen before is fun. Also seeing guys who I know but never get to watch is also fun. The tour does a good job of having around 200 guys play in and out of tournaments every year.

Dramatic finish in the end! Those closing holes do set up well to create the potential for big numbers. Tough one to swallow for Lowry, really threw that one away.

Agree. The second ball in the water was unexplainable. Felt bad for him.

It ended up being a great finish. I dont know if I sae anyone else go with iron off the tee on 16 I think that is where he lost it. He stopped playing to win and started playing not to lose.

Lowry is such a choker.....up 3 shots with 4 holes to play.    I think he is 1/6 now when sleeping on a 54 hole lead.

Had quite a few near misses at this event in the past, but this one's gotta sting and leave scars. Had his whole family there including his brother flying in from Ireland to celebrate. Instead they got to witness a meltdown. Painful day for the Lowerys.

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
