I'll be going to my first golf tournament tomorrow at Valhalla. Any tips for watching the show? Follow a group / pick a spot and sit? Any local knowledge or tips? Any other sandtrappers going to be in attendance?

- Rapture 13* 3 Wood
- i3+ Blades
- 52* Gap Wedge- 56* Vokey Sand Wedge- 60* Vokey Lob Wedge- White Hot XG Marxman Mallet with 35" shaft

Not to upset you, but I think everyone on here is going to hate you a little bit.

You got that right.

JK. Have fun! I wish I could go. Sadly, I'll be watching from the TV.

I'm speaking with no experience or inside knowledge whatsoever, but I'd say you want to find be on the hillside surrounding the 14th green, and just stay there as all the matches go by. That seems like the place to be.

thanks guys - I may try to scope out the 14th green and see if I can find a spot! I'm right next door to the course so I'm hoping they let me walk in. They are requiring the general public park downtown and ride a bus into the course.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
