I just played this course yesterday and all I can say is WOW! The 2008 US Amateur is this weekend (I think that is what we were told) and the course had been prepared for it. The course was gorgeous. My friend and I rented a cart but was told it had to stay on cart paths because of the tournament. After the second hole we figured at the turn we would ask for a pull cart instead because it was more work for my friend to grab a club and walk to his ball just to change his mind on what he grabbed. Fortunately a marshal seen that my friend had a prosthetic leg and gave us a handicap flag and we were able to drive on it.

I have some random pictures for you. All I can say, don't hit in the rough. It may not look that bad but it is like glue!!! Talk about them only going a few yards lol. The plus side was the bunkers were hard which made me hit out of them fairly well. I also traveled to Yes! golf in Denver where I was fitted for my new putter. I ended up choosing the Victoria II and love it. If anyone is thinking about a Yes! putter and has the means to get to Denver, I would highly recommend going there to get fitted for it. I was completely wrong on the shaft link I thought I needed and on the putter I wanted.

I just wanted to share my "Monday" with everyone

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      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??
