It's funny that the author makes that comment about hitting a ball perfect, 70 straight times. Seriously, does this guy even watch golf? Does he watch Tiger? I have NEVER seen Tiger, let alone any golfer, hit a ball, perfect, 10 straight times, let alone, 70 times.

I want to thank the author for the good laugh.

Mr. Sparkle, fantastic on the scene reporting. I am extremely envious of your position. I've been to an U.S. Open myself (2001 Southern Hills) but never in my own backyard so to speak. I look for your this thread immediately when logging into the forum, keep em coming all week if possible!!!

I know a few people who can sell me tickets for Sunday for a little over 100 bucks, but its looking like a busy weekend so I probably would only be able to go for a couple hours anyways..

Ditto to all that, except that this IS my home town. I drive past TP every day on my way to the office (which is about 1 mile from the south side of the course), and I aint goin' either ....

Tx for sharing the photos. Makes me feel closer.

Yeah, same, I drive by the course quite a bit. I play the North Course a lot and try to get on South whenever I can. Cant beat the price as a resident.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
