So today I headed out to the Northern Trust, or as I like to refer to it the LA Open. From the looks in the morning it was going to be a nasty day of rain. But once I got there, the clouds broke and the sun was shining. Brought my camera with me and headed to the 18th. Walked back to 1 and took pictures of practically everyone I saw. A few of them turned out a little fuzzy, relied a little too much on the zoom. But most came out alright. Follow the link below to the full album, 116 pictures...

One of my favourite courses, and I usually refer to the tournament simply as "Riviera". I guess sponsors these days really don't like types like us.

Great pics, I always like pictures of 18 leading up to the clubhouse. What a great and difficult finishing hole.

Cheers, Allan

The place and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeuos. One of the more affluent parts of Los Angeles. I only took pictures of two of the homes off the course, but practically every home out there is a multi-million dollar jaw-dropper.

Dialed in: Luke Donald. The majority of the groups I followed, dudes were toying around, having fun with each other. Luke looked like he was out there for a reason, he and Ryuji Imada actually. They were in two of the more interesting groups to watch too. Luke played with Geoff Ogilvy while Ryuji played with Shigeki. Luke and Geoff were one of the last groups out on the course. They were taking their time on the greens with putts and chips, also took some extra shots when they found themselves in the rough.

The pictures look fantastic.

I might find myself out there on Sunday, depending on the weather, who makes it to Sunday, and how my work is going.

Thanks for the thoughts. Unfortunately, I'm teaching tomorrow and Friday. Last year, my Friday teaching was done at 10am, and I was able to make it. This year, my teaching on Friday doesn't start until 10am, and Thursday my teaching is at noon.

Those are great pics...I think the marketer in me thinks that alot of those pics would look great with a little golf advert in the open area. I have never been there, but the grounds look amazing.

I get to go to the Byron Nelson free every year (my parents work for HP, used to be EDS. I don't know if HP will give us tickets this year, but joining the NTPGA gives me free tickets so it doesn't matter) and it's not the prettiest course, but still AMAZING to someone who plays a local muni. Plus, the houses on the sides are just UNBELIEVABLE. the kind of unbelievable where you stand and stare for 8 minutes and completely forget where you are.

    • Patrick Cantlay standing over the ball at the 2018 PGA Championship haha. Dunno what the story behind this is. But at the 2012 Players, Kevin Na was going through some rough swing thought stuff. This article I linked below says he was fixing early extension at the time while also trying to get used to feeling less weight in heels at address, and tho he hit it better than with his old swing, he had a really tough time with it, even in practice rounds. https://vault.si.com/vault/2016/01/18/kevin-na-fit-be-tied-just-ask-him   Anyway, just a couple high level examples of this.  
    • Yes, but they break every 5-7 years. So… Meh. I'm looking at alternatives. I also don't like how they call it a lifetime warranty… but give you $25 off a product (I was looking to get the Munich if I stuck with MoneyClamps).
    • Day 141 - 2025-02-18 Did work at home. I have a few long days at Golf Evolution so I didn't want to spend a LOT of time there today. 😄 
    • I purchased this one in November of 2018 from Amazon and it has held up incredibly well considering the price point.  Amazon.com But I am also starting to look for a new one now though because it gets annoying whenever I have cash because the bills get folded in half so the thickness increases quickly with just a few bills plus its a major pain when someone hands me change to try and get it back into the wallet in the correct order and folded in half properly especially if I'm carrying bags or items or something else. That part has always bugged me it's just gotten annoying enough lately to where I want something different.    Edit: @iacas are you aware that there's a lifetime warranty on yours? Looks like you could get a new one for like $25
    • Before 2005-ish, I had a leather tri-fold wallet. For about the last 20 years, I've used this: https://moneyclamp.com/collections/core/products/geneva-black-matte-rfid-wallet. Many of you have or had them, too: I gave them out at Newport Cups and some other things, I think. Well, the metal fatigues and they break every 5-7 years or so. I had three from the TST order back nearly 20 years ago, but my last one broke yesterday. In my wallet right now, I have about six credit or debit cards on one side (some personal, some business), things like my PGA card, health insurance card, etc. on the other side, and my driver's license and digital business card (NFC and QR code) in the middle, with anywhere between ten and whatever number of bills this shows (I thinned this out a bit after taking this photo, but admittedly I like paying for things in cash, particularly from small businesses or to tip): I see, like many of you probably do, all those wallet ads on Instagram. Or Kickstarter. There are a lot of options out there. So, for those of you who carry wallets and who still carry some cash… (TBH I'm more likely to drop some credit/debit cards from my wallet and just use them via Apple Pay than I am to not carry more than a few bills of cash) what wallet are y'all using? What's good? I don't think I want one of those "all metal" wallets, but maybe that's just the updated version of what I have now, and maybe that's fine. I've seen the money clip type things that are magnetic, but… I feel like those might only work with about six bills of "thickness." Otherwise, it feels like it'd have to be a strong magnet, and I'm not sure I want a strong magnet on my wallet as I chuck it in my golf bag, a cart, near my phone, by credit cards or hotel door keys… etc. So, again… what do y'all use? Or am I just really old and nobody uses wallets?
