so ticket holders for yesterday's round are basically being told "tough" and that their tickets are now worthless. we all know the fine-print on the back says their tickets arent refundable, blah blah...but is this fair? these fans paid for a certain product and that product wasnt delivered. what do you think?

IMHO there is the letter of the law and then there is the right thing to do. the USGA is taking the former.

Its not fair at all. At least they could have offered those ticket holders something in return (like a free round of golf at black in the future) or something to make them feel like they werent cheated. They paid for a product, and didnt get it. At the very least, its poor customer service on the part of the USGA. I hope the thursday people make a fuss and throw (mud) in the faces of the USGA.

The ticket holders should have known it was going to rain. So they knew the risk they were taking.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I think it was a good move, but I'd be pretty pissed if I was someone with only weekend passes, expecting to see everything to the finish. Now those people will kinda get screwed. It's definitely a bad situation for everyone involved, especially because it's something like an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, and play probably will go through Monday. I'd hate to be the ones making those decisions, it's basically a no-win situation.

nobody can question the USGAs justification, they are within their rights.

but put yourself in the place of one of these ticket holders. you know in your brain that rationally you dont have an argument, but in your heart you would feel like it wasnt fair. you bought tickets to see the entire first round and all the players in it, and thats not what you got.

      Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.

      How To Properly Repair Ball Marks

      By WillieT ·

      Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….

      The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill

      Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.
